Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2008Rotary smurgling
I don't recall whether I've described Ranger's unique method of smurgling before. But he has been rather prolific of late, so I thought it warranted another description anyway. We have several smurglers in our house. They do the usual - wait until a human has a blanket over them, then climb atop the blanket and suck or chew on the blanket while kneading it. That's not enough for Ranger, though. He waits until one or both of his humans are in bed. He comes up to the middle of the bed and begins to smurgle like any other kitty. Once he gets going, though, his hind end starts moving. His rear walks in a circle while he is kneading. He will start out facing towards the head of the bed. He then rotates clockwise until he facing my side of the bed, then continues his rotation. He usually makes two to four complete revolutions before he is done. A rotary smurgling session is usually completed by exercising his blanket-master skills - he steals my top blanket and drags it out into the hallway. Does anyone else's kitty use this bizarre smurgling technique? You need to post that on the other group. Someone there doesn't realize so many kitties do this sort of thing. I always leave one of those soft throw type blankets on the bed for easy removal. O T at some point figures he needs a blanket for the hallway. If it is too heavy, he enlists Willow to help him remove it from the bed. >I don't recall whether I've described Ranger's unique method of smurgling > before.

Nancy gets colder than I do, and she has a little red blanket she spreads over herself at night. She has to put it in the closet when she gets out of bed in the morning. It's small enough and light enough that Ranger carries it all the way down stairs and all over the house. She could find it anywhere (it ended up in the cat's water dish a couple times, in a litter box once). My blanket is heavier and bigger, so it only gets dragged into the hallway. The only ones that steal light blankets here are the ferrets, not the cats. Nanny >> You need to post that on the other group.

I hate having his butt in my face during the rotating process because his tail always hits my nose and makes me sneeze. Then I'm all awake again because I just don't sneeze once; I sneeze about 10 times. kili >I don't recall whether I've described Ranger's unique method of smurgling > before.

But after three winters in Alaska, Charlie and I both tend to hand on to our share of the blankets for dear life.

Dante is a fierce, leg-massaging smurgler, who pounds away with all four feet. I call it the Dante Dance.

No, but Miranda has been known to move blankets and rugs into more appropriate places than where her stupid hoomin thought they should be. She has never stolen a blanket off the bed, though. Miranda only kneads in bed, too, and she goes around the whole bed every evening. I'm not allowed to pet her while she is doing this, since it is a Very Important Job and she is busy covering the Whole Bed looking very earnest. When she's satisfied with her work, she lies down on my hip or snuggles up to my legs and falls asleep. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. >> [quoted text muted] > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > earnest.

Oh yes, I did forget to mention, during the aforementioned Rotary Smurgle, petting is not allowed! Trying to pet the Master Smurgler will earn a hoomin a meow of protest. Fortunately the weather is warm enough now that I generally don't mind losing my top blanket. Still, it is kind of a funny feeling to feel your blanket being slowly pulled away. no and I hope none of them read this either...
