we have periscope paws at our place too{good expression }
Wilson has only to see me pick up a pen and 2 seconds later up come the paws, first one then the other, I let him touch the pen a couple of times, then pull it back, immediately a pair of eyes appear follwed by a little nose then a paw darts out covering half the table, its actually an old type hospital table the kind that used to be pulled up from the bottom of the bed, I've had it 20 yrs or more and its been painted several timesand the top re-covered each time Been used for everything! and now is my little armchair table and very handy it is, *also used quite often as a cat perch*.

Jazz & his mama That reminds me of the expression "periscope paws" which is what some cats do while their hoomins are eating. ROTFL I hadn't heard that phrase, but it certainly fits Sammy at times Then, there are the longer cats like Clifford (RB) who simply stood on two legs and rested his chin on the table, not especially stretching. |

LOL - as soon as I saw the title, I *knew*. BTDT.
Happy puzzling! Susan M Otis and Chester "Doe John" wrote in message ... Decided to put together a 2000 piece jigsaw on a table , instead of on the hardwood floor. Much less space to work with, but easier on my body. My cat of course was curious, and took a few stabs at the pieces as I sorted through them.She knocked a few onto the floor, I chased her off, no problem. A couple of times, she decided to take a rest and lie down on the pieces. Later as I had completed most of the border, she on several occasions grabbed some pieces in her mouth, and once was able to carry 2 pieces off the table. The jigsaw pieces do look a lot like Cat Chow. On another occasion, she managed to take apart some of the completed border from the left side. Later, I found out that one of the pieces in the area she tor up was in the incorrect spot due to a similar shape. Belonged on the other side. Maybe she noticed something? :-) Hopefully, pillows covering the boxes wher I have sorted the pieces will keep her away from the pieces. She only seems interested if I am interested. |
