Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2008My Snuggle Bug Got the Zoomies
As you may well imagine, since I got home Persia has been a velcro-kitty. With the exception of thunderstorms (we may get more today) when she hides in the closet, she's been pretty much by my side every minute. And at her (surmised) age of 8 or 10 she's pretty laid back (read: lazy). In the wee hours of the morning she got the zoomies. She was stomping on my head, giving me head butts, nipping my arm, anything to get my attention. Wake up, wake up and play with me! Wha...? Persia, it's not time yet! She didn't care. She chewed on my hair. Stuck her cold wet nose in my ear and purred very loudly. Chattered at me in that weird sort of meezer voice of hers. Get up, get up, I wanna plaaaay! LOL I grudgingly got out of bed and tossed some mousies and a crinkly mylar ball for her. She was having a blast, chasing them around. Me? I was Zombie-Mom. Must be some sort of kitty hormone that kicks in at her age. She reverted back to near kittenhood. She's doing this a lot lately. I could chalk it up to the weather, or just being glad to have me around again. But she so rarely got the zoomies before I left. It's good to see even if she did wake me up at 4AM to play!

And that wasn't a long-haired cat. I was looking at Persia when she was rolled over showing her belly last night, thinking hmmmm, the vacuum cleaner... LOL No way! She hides when the sucky monster comes out. Jill >>> As you may well imagine, since I got home Persia has been a >>> velcro-kitty.

I guess it was because she thought she heard Bear playing with his squeaky toy. I say "thought she heard" because I went out to take away his damn squeaky toy and he was lying in the hallway, yards from the squeaky toy. Meanwhile, I heard the squeaky toy noise again, from the cage of Eddison Grey, the sound effects parrot. I couldn't take _his_ squeaky toy away, so we tried to get back to sleep. Later on, Eddison did his perfect impression of our phone ringing. Getting up to answer the parrot is annoying. -- Will in New Haven >> I grudgingly got out of bed and tossed some mousies and a crinkly >> mylar ball for her.

For once, I'm glad lovebirds aren't great at talking and mocking :) Peaches chirps, but lovebirds aren't known to be great "talkers". That might drive me up a tree. I'm sure you love Eddison, but really... riiiing! Hello? hello? LOL Jill > >> I grudgingly got out of bed and tossed some mousies and a crinkly > >> mylar ball for her. She was having a blast, chasing them around. Me? [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > might drive me up a tree. I'm sure you love Eddison, but really... riiiing! > Hello? hello? LOL When he's rung a few times, HE says "hello" and then "how are you." He does quite a few words and very well, but sound effects, including a lovely "cat vomiting" are his specialty. Buddy Macaw, a very severe, Severe Macaw, is more of a talker, and biter. She says "peekaboo" when I come downstairs to walk Bear in the morning, peeking out from under the sheet that is over her cage. She's so sweet unless she decides to try to kill someone. She also calls "here, Bear" and tries to bite him when he comes over to her cage. I might rather have goats. Less messy, too. -- Will in New Haven > Jill- Hide quoted text - > > - Show quoted text - Only cause you don't keep them in the house and, they stink to high heavens!!!

My former sisterinlaw had two goats and they were very nice little animals. But they did live outdoors. When they were kids her dog Bozo (a Beagle) would chase them and bother them all the time. People used to have to step in to prevent his driving them crazy. When they were grown, it became a game to see if he could get out into the yard and get his business done before they started chasing him fairly good-naturedly around hte yard. -- Will in New Haven > > >> Must be some sort of kitty hormone that kicks in at her age.

Parrots are fun, though ;) I decided against getting a larger parrot when I realized they were likely to outlive me. Jill Does covering his cage at night stop any of that? A bar where we used to eat has two parrots and, they do the land line phone ring and then the boss's cell phone. The waitresses threaten to have bird soup every other day. One of them, the birds, hollers, "Here sweetie here is a tip" Everyone but the girls think it is funny.

Jake very seldom wants to play, with us anyway. We are for cuddling and rubbing his royal footsies. But last night at bedtime he wanted to play so badly. Normally he sleeps a solid eighteen hours a day and spend most of the rest outside hunting.
