Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2005Cat in a Hat
Everyone has heard of Cat in a Hat but have they heard of Cat on a Door? Now that it's hot I shut the screen door but leave the proper varnished front door open. There was this frightful noise. I went into the patio expecting that the hoolikittens had wrecked the plants, Xmas tree, smashed the big vases etc. No, so I thought I would close the front door. Hummmmmmm. Now why was that door so heavy - stuck on something perhaps. Then I looked up, Bonnie was balancing on the thin top of the door. The noise I had heard was her running up the fly screen and somehow (god knows how) she had managed to transfer herself from the top of the screen to the top of the door. It must have been quite a scramble as there were nice fresh scratches around the top of the varnished door. Of course she was stuck and began yowling horribly. I should have left her there!!!

And he had been eating steadily for two or three months, so he was a little B&W bowling ball on legs. Actually, when I looked up, he had his left legs on the top of the door frame, right legs on top of the door. And the two-- the top of the door and the frame-- were traveling apart as the door was swinging open under his weight, with his legs seemingly streeeeeeeetchiiiiiiiiiiiiing as they went apart. It was vintage Looney Toons. I handily had a ladder out (how he got up there in the first place) and rescued the little boogerhead before disaster struck. :P >The noise I had heard was her running up the fly screen and somehow (god >knows how) she had managed to transfer herself from the top of the [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >Bev Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com >>Everyone has heard of Cat in a Hat but have they heard of Cat on a Door? >> [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > there in the first place) and rescued the little boogerhead before > disaster struck. :P I feel so mean laughing, but I just can't help it. That's a priceless picture. > >Everyone has heard of Cat in a Hat but have they heard of Cat on a Door? > > [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh > My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com Bonnie has done this before and yes, done the streeeetching bit!!! The trouble is that the screen becomes pitted with claws popping the wire, sigh.

Ronja scales up the rug and lies there. She loves playing up there. If you drag a toy along the rug she will go scrambling hither and thither after it. Here's a picture of her on the door: http://tinyurl.com/6svlr SignatureMarina, Frank and Nikki marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ and http://community.webshots.com/user/frankiennikki > > Everyone has heard of Cat in a Hat but have they heard of Cat on a Door? > > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > http://tinyurl.com/6svlr Ha! That's so cute! Reminds me of how Vino perches on the railing in our living room. -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur!

But I am not going to make it easy for her - no rug for Bonnie!!

Actually, Melisande doesn't need one! My vanity area has a washbasin, mirror, etc. but no towel racks. Consequently, I have a set of them that fits over the top of the bathroom door, next to the wash basin. A few times, when I was seated on the "throne", with Melly outside on the countertop (I seldom close the door, since I live alone). I heard her scrabbling around, then suddenly, there she was, on top of the door. After holding an inverted clothes basket where she could get to it, and coaxing her off of the door a time or two, I finally decided that, if she could figure out how to get up there, she could find her way down again. (Which she did, by jumping down to the counter from which she'd launched herself, and then to the floor.) Sometimes they do these things just to make us panic, I think! >> Everyone has heard of Cat in a Hat but have they heard of Cat on a Door? >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > >http://tinyurl.com/6svlr Oooh, a Monkey Cat!

When mine were younger and more agile, they had a regular route: floor, window-ledge, top of closet door, top shelf of closet. To get down, they'd poise themselves partly on the shelves and partly on the hangers and clothes before making the big leap. An aunt once had a cat with a habit of lurking on the top of the kitchen door until someone walked through, at which point, she would leap to that person's shoulder. She missed my shoulder once, when I was wearing a sleeveless nightgown, and in trying to save herself, left a scar across my breast that was so straight a docto asked me if I'd had surgery there!

Clyde now lurks in the rafters of the garage when the door is open. When DH comes home and puts the car away there is this terrible bang on top of the car. When he gets out there is another shuddering thump as Clyde lands on his shoulder, very unnerving as Clyde is now no light weight and if he slips thinks nothing of putting out the anchors. More naughtiness this morning. When I got out of bed there was this cold spikey thing on the floor under my feet. It ws a pretty diamente-type bracelet given to me for Xmas. Don't ask me how they got it out of the box - that was lying in pieces nearby. I'll examine the necklace more thoroughly later to see if all the diamantes are there. Hope they haven't swallowed any, sigh. Bev SignatureCats aren't clean, they're just covered with cat spit. |
