Cat Games (safe, house, bathroom, kitchen)

[maggie2101]

The house is quiet, cats have been fed, and I am just sitting here watching the news. Deuxdad is calmly grooming herself on the living room rug. Suddenly, she leaps into the air and runs into the kitchen. There she starts scrabbling to get traction and takes off like a bat out of hell down the hall toward the master bedroom. Within seconds I hear a minor stampede coming back in this direction.

The stampede ends in the den when I start hearing what sounds like acrobatics. The acrobatics end up in the living room with me and all three cats are running, leaping, hiding, stalking, and wrestling.

I don't know what I would do without my cats.

Ah yes. It's the spontaneous chaos that's a well known phenomenon of living with cats. It also amazes me that it can end just as suddenly as it starts.... for a quick bath, or a snack, or a nap.
You were in front of the tv, and they got you to get up & play with them. Maybe they're trying to tell you something.
For the record, I don't know what I would do without my cats either.

LOL, what a great story! I am not sure if you have seen this but you might enjoy it, especially the last one:

There other day, I was in the bathroom doing my...um...thing when Josette decides that she is too far away from me. So she comes running into the bathroom. I have no idea what she saw that startled her but in mid-run she leaped at least a foot straight up in the air. She then turned around and ran back out of the bathroom.

Electra then comes waltzing into the bathroom. I guess Josette thought it safe to go in so she followed Electra-but didn't run.


My reaction-what you would expect-I laughed so hard. What I think startled her-her shadow. lol.
