Cat Forum / General Topics / March 2007I tried being sneaky
Big Mama was focused at the window, looking outside intently. I snuck in the kitchen and as quietly as I could opened her a can of her nightly dinner of Fancy Feast... she heard that littlest of noise, came running and was already there waiting for me to finish emptying the can on to her plate. She loves that Fancy Feast. It's like trying to bake cookies with kids in the next room... you just can't hide it. > Big Mama was focused at the window, looking outside intently. > I snuck in the kitchen and as quietly as I could opened [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > It's like trying to bake cookies with kids in the next room... > you just can't hide it. Our "Cocopuff" has been known to actually go into the pantry and knock a can of her food onto the floor!!!! I think she knows what she's doing. It's hard to outsneak Isis but it can be done, sometimes. I have crouched down and waited around a blind corner for Isis for 15 minutes before she finally came trotting by. Then I SPRANG OUT and scared the heck out of her. She does this to me often enough.

In the same way, I play "gotcha" with my Deetoo. She tries to sneak up on me while I'm in the kitchen, but I can see her shadow when it gets close to the doorway. When she pokes one eye around the corner of the doorway, I lunge at her and she does her sideways, up the wall reverse back flip and scoots off. Three minutes later, she tries to sneak up on me again and I'm waiting for her again. We repeat this game half a dozen times before she gives up and just comes trotting into the kitchen to see what kind of people food I'm making. I'm real happy tonight. I took a 3 day trip to Arkansas and put Her Majesty into the Oak Park Animal Hospital Kitty Hotel and Spa. They always have problems getting her out of the cage. I should've told them I'd do it. <-: Anyhow, I paid for a bath and grooming. Man oh man. Her orange long-haired fur is all fluffy and she has the nicest scent. It's a very light almond/fruit scent or something. Whatever it is it is sooooo clean. She looks great. She doesn't have oily kitty spittle hair, and she's nicely groomed and ready for another round of naps. I think Isis is about 8 or 9 now. She's doesn't like the indignity of getting put into a cage for 3 days but when she gets home it only takes her a few minutes to get back to normal. She knows I'm only gone for a while. Besides, the vet people there love animals and they take real good care of her. $15.00 a night, a bath, and a nail trim. The whole works set me back $94.00. Yipes.

One of our cats loves to "attack" my wife....He will wait behind a door in the hall until she comes along, and then spring out and tackle her by the ankle........ For a while I was caught off-guard with the up-in-the-air paws-wide-open half-twist jumpin' jiminy sneak attach. The first couple of times that happened I was quite confused. She kept hiding behind the kitchen door and when I walked in like a shmoe about to get a fresh cup of coffee WHAM. I've learned how to think like a cat, though. Sometimes I have to wait for a l o n g time. I think of her as prey and visualize roast kitty. Somehow she knows I'm waiting to spring, though. In that case I'll talk to an imaginary phone person or open and close some file cabinet drawers. Everything is normal, Isis. I'm not waiting to pounce on you. Hee hee hee.

And what did she do right after she ate??? She went right back to the window to finish looking outside of course! |
