Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2005Persia got the Zoomies
She went absolutely NUTS, zooming around the apartment, from the bedroom to the living room to this room; up on the windowsill, back out to the couch. I chased her up on the back of the couch where she got that WILD look in her eyes and batted at my hands, then she took off again. This time into the dining area... there were a couple of crinkly mylar balls there and an empty box... oooh! I tossed one of the balls into the box and she dove in and killed it. After that she paused, looked around, found a soft felt mousie and killed it, too. Then it was time for a nap :) After all, when you're 6 years old, the zoomies only last so long. Gotta rest up for the next bout! Jill Persia sounds adoreable. I have another kitty named Googly Bear! He loves to "nurse" and drool all over you at bedtime, but in the daytime if you are not paying attention and walking past the row of breakfast bar chairs (with wooden slats in the back) you are fair game for a quick swipe attack from between the slats! My hubby purposely gives Googly Bear attack practice by dashing back and forth along the chair row so Googly can sharpen his skills. It's too funny seeing a 6 ft, 200 lb man prancing back and forth while a white 11 pound cat with beautiful blue eyes attacks him! LOL!! Michelle > Persia sounds adoreable.

Persia is usually too laid back to attempt swipe attacks. But sometimes she lulls me into a false sense of security. She'll be stretched out on the floor and I'll get up to walk by her to the kitchen. Two paws snake out and wrap around my ankle. This usually means I didn't pay proper homage as I walked by (i.e. didn't give her scritches, talk to her, or perhaps a belly rub was warranted). > My hubby purposely gives Googly Bear attack practice by dashing back > and forth along the chair row so Googly can sharpen his skills.

You should catch it on film... blackmail can be so much fun! LOL Jill Evil laughter snuck out of my mouth as I read your delicious idea!!!! }:) >My hubby purposely gives Googly Bear attack practice by dashing back and >forth along the chair row so Googly can sharpen his skills.

Michelle Perhaps your DH would enjoy the game my beloved Misty (RB) and I used to play. I would make a 'tail' for myself out of either a six-foot piece of rope or the sash of my bathrobe by tucking one end of it into the back of my trousers and letting the other end drag on the floor. Then I would walk around the apartment giving Misty a chance to attack my 'tail' from ambush. I could almost always count on an attack from behind a chair or from around a corner. Misty was an exceptional cat and would catch on very quickly to almost any game I thought up to play with her. One of her favorite pastimes was to lie on my chest as I lay in bed while I recited Edward Lear's poem, "The Owl And The Pussycat".

Mimi would yank the "tail" away, and go charging all over the house with it clutched in her teeth. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com > She went absolutely NUTS, zooming around the apartment, from the bedroom to > the living room to this room; up on the windowsill, back out to the couch. [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Jill I love it when they do that. Prissy used to do it occasionally-When she was in that mood, I'd just look at her and she'd have that wild look on her face and then-Zooom!. Sometimes I'd just be sitting watching TV and all I would see is the black blur as she zoomed from another room through the living room on her way to the other end of the house. I wish Kona and Sebastian zoomed, but it's not part of their behavior. They will go nuts over toys at times. Can't blame them for being themselves. Besides, wanting Kona to zoom is like wanting a Clydesdale to zoom. There's just too much inertia involved. :-) The vet tech in charge of adoptions where I got Sebastian and Kona swears up and down that the full moon really does seem to cause a lot of cats to zoom and generally get the crazies. CajunPrincess@mail2world.com had some very interesting things to say about Re: Persia got the Zoomies: >I wish Kona and Sebastian zoomed, but it's not part of their behavior. >They will go nuts over toys at times.

Ava, OTOH [or should that be "paw" or "wing"? :-)], does her version of zoomies on a regular basis. :-)  Signature"The universe is quite robust in design and appears to be doing just fine on its own, incompetent support staff notwithstanding. :-)" - the Dennis formerly known as (evil), MCFL > CajunPrincess@mail2world.com had some very interesting things to say > about Re: Persia got the Zoomies: [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > [or should that be "paw" or "wing"? :-)], does her version of zoomies > on a regular basis. :-) Both Frank and Nikki sometimes get the zoomies, in spite of their advanced ages (17 and 16). I love it when these senior citizens act like little kittens! Nikki has these sound effects as she zooms around, a sort of trilling noise that I hear getting louder and then receding as she zooms by: rrrRRRRRRRrrrrr and then she comes back rrrrRRRRrrrrr and whooshes by. LOL!

LOL! Oh Marina, that's too cute! She does sound effects! Must be a little like a small race car going by :) Jill >> CajunPrincess@mail2world.com had some very interesting things to say >> about Re: Persia got the Zoomies: [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >she zooms by: rrrRRRRRRRrrrrr and then she comes back rrrrRRRRrrrrr and >whooshes by. LOL! The Kitty Doppler Effect! I love it, too. Stinky still gets it about once a day. He does the trilling thing, too, when he has a mousie in his mouth. The past few days, he's been repeatedly trying to show his tail who's in charge-- the evil thing has been sneaking up and attacking him a lot. ;) A couple of days ago, he even gave me a "drive-by," ricocheting off me as he tried to turn in mid-air. It does my heart good to see he's still so energetic and playful. Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com |
