The Singing Roadcat
Daniel Mahoney wrote:
Having 6 furry owners, we of course have a lot of cat toys spread all around the house. Of special interest are the feather wands. We've got a plastic wand with an orange marabou feather on the end that Sammy has claimed as his own. We also have a couple of boa feathers attached to plastic wands, a red one and a brown one. Harri used to claim the red one as hers, but now has switched to the brown one. Every once in a while, usually after I've gone to bed, Harri will pick up her boa feather, hold it in her mouth, and meow. This is very unusual as Harri generally doesn't meow, she squeaks. But when it's boa feather time, she let's out with "mrrrrrrrrrrrooowwwww... mrrrrrrrrrrrooowwwww... mrrrrrrrrrrrooowwwww...". She doesn't carry it through the house, she just sits in one place with it and meows. When she does this I generally go find her to be sure she's all right. As soon as she sees me looking at her she'll stop meowing, put the feather down, and come over for pets. Never for long, it's more like she's saying "Thanks for looking in on me". I still haven't quite figured out what the feather song means. Last night I went to bed around my usual time, but laid awake for a couple hours unable to get to sleep. Around 1:00 AM I was about half asleep when I heard "mrrrrrrrrrrrooowwwww..." from the dining room. This went on for a few minutes then stopped. Then just a couple minutes later, "mrrrrrrrrrrrooowwwww..." from the top landing of the stairs. I knew it Harri doing her feather song, but I was so tired at that moment that I don't think I could have climbed out of bed if the house was on fire. Nancy, however, was closer to being awake. She called out "It's ok, Harri, everybody is fine and the boa feather is all yours." I guess that was all she was looking for, because the meowing stopped. When I got up this morning I found that Harri had left her boa feather at the top of the stairs. When I came downstairs I got my usual Harri snuggle while I watched the morning news, so all is fine with the Roadcat. I just wish I knew what the feather song really meant! What a lovely story! Best wishes, Polonca and Soncek |
