Memphis and Phoenix
I think the pair of them have the new year zoomies! We bought a sheepskin
rug at a boot sale, thinking they may like to cuddle up on it. After ingoring it and refusing to even walk on it for a month, Phoenix decided to be brave and get on it. Then attack it. Then tear it to shreds! He literally tore inches of it off, holding it in his mouth and bunny kicking it! Memphis looks on in a puzzled manner. He, however, has been jumping in sinks and on to kitchen counters today, I was even in the room (and he knows this is not allowed!). We also have had to clean the lounge carpet where his royal zoominess knocked over a full pot of tea, while charging around like a cat posessed! Now of course, Phoenix is sitting on an office chair, looking all sweet and innocent,but we know better don't we? lol Sandra |

You just reminded me of my Shadow (RB) when you mentioned the office chair. He used to come running, jump up on the chair (it was his favorite spot before he got ill) and he'd land so hard that the chair would spin and spin with him sitting there holding on for dear life. LOL I think he did it on purpose because he did it all the time. -- Cheryl |

LOL I think he did it on purpose because he did it all the time. That used to be one of Sammy's favorite games, but she hasn't done it in quite a while. If the chair was close enough to something, she'd reach over and give a push to keep the chair/merry go round spinning, otherwise she had to rely on the hoomin to do the spinning. -- Steve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Spot with loving memories of Rocky (RB) [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html |

(It's true-people don't believe me but she did!) but it had to be Dave doing the spinning and it had to be clockwise but she'd sit there going round and round and purring away until it stopped when she would demand he spin it again!

My sister's ex used to take their black-and-white tuxedo cat and spin him around on the kitchen linoleum. The kitty would get so dizzy he couldn't walk straight, but he always wanted more. Of course, that particular cat was a bit of a dim-bulb. He was one of those who would hide just his head under a blanket and assume that you couldn't see him, then get huffy if you made it plain that you could. -- Wayne M (indulged by Will and Heidi) |
