Default Schizo Cat Season

Are there any other Aussie cat owners that are having trouble with psycho
cats?

Gizmo is constantly "galloping" from one end of the house to the
other....unless she is asleep of course. She hides underneath the kitchen
table then ambushes me as I walk past....she won't do this with my other
half though. As soon as I get within a metre of her she does the gallop
thing again....this has been going on for a week....most
entertaining.....what is also funny is she wears erself out so much doing it
that mid way through the gallop she often stops for water then keeps
running....

Most odd

Purrs to all

Angela (owned by the mighty Giz)

Shmogg has been most ornerary for the last week or so. Yes, my ankles get
regularly ambushed, he has taken up howling at random times throughout the
evening, the water-squirt bottle no longer stops him from doing anything
(particularly scratching the back of thelounge) and he's made Fluffy deathly
afraid of him.

And yet, by the same token, he has taken to crawling onto my lap of an
evening and being a lovey dovey lap fungus, which he has never done before.

I think he knows I'm pregnant and is both annoyed at me for having yet
another pet and trying to be a nurse cat.

But he's always been a strange critter.

Kinda Guess is being a bit more than her normal psycho self in the
morning at the moment. Pouncing off the bed, over the gate, down the
stairs, round about and back up again.

As for the other two, they are being their normal selves. Lita just
wants food and a nice place to sleep and Harriet is happy meowing at
the wall.

ranks very high on my list of most diabolical plots ever ;-)


Actually, I think it's a clever solution! Keeps the dog in perpetual hope,
and the cat in line, all without chemical sprays or g-d forbid, declawing.

Yowie, this is too great a story not to share. Several years ago I read
about a couple who were visiting friends. They noticed that wherever the
cat went, the dog would follow, from room to room, throughout the house.

That reminds me of a Gary Larsen cartoon, where a dog puts up a bunch of
signs saying "cat fud" with arrows pointing along a path leading to the
clothes dryer. The cat is following the signs (looking for the "cat fud"),
and the dog is thinking, "oh please, oh please, oh please..."
