I'm a bit slow
Last night, I was lying on the couch watching TV. Vino was really agitated,
he kept meowing, jumping up and standing on my chest (Ouch, boobs! Why are cats' feet so pointy?) He'd give me one headbutt and then just stand on my chest like he'd conquered me and look about. After a little while he would jump off and sit on the chair next to the couch. After a few minutes, the cycle would repeat. Finally, I decided to go to bed. Took Vino upstairs with me as usual and we cuddled for a bit. I turned off the light and started to doze off. Suddenly, there was Vino on top of the covers, chasing something! Eeeeeep, cockroaches! I flew out of bed and turned on the light. Oh, it was just a furry mousie. The little bugger must have gone downstairs, picked up a mousie from his scratching post (that's where we keep them), brought it all the way across the living room, down the hall, up the stairs into the bedroom. Just to get me to play with him. Guess I'm a bit slow on the uptake sometimes! Anyway, my heart was still pounding from the cockroach scare that I happily stayed up and chucked the mouse across the room for him for 20 minutes. Then we were both exhausted and had a good sleep. -- Britta Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album |

I bet you are even more happy about that than me. ;o) -- Marina, who has woken up with a real vole dangling in her face Frank and Nikki Email marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/frankiennikki |

After a little while he would jump off and sit on the chair next to the couch. After a few minutes, the cycle would repeat. He misses his daddy! Yes, Dennis usually scraps with him for a bit right before bed to make sure he's good'n tired. He doesn't go for it if I try to scrap with him though. Just gives me this "I know you're a woman and therefore you can't scrap like a man" look. He's such a chauvenist! Suddenly, there was Vino on top of the covers, chasing something! Eeeeeep, cockroaches! I flew out of bed and turned on the light. Oh, it was just a furry mousie. Whew! That would've been gross. Does that ever happen?? (That you get roaches in your bed? Ewww!) Well it only happens when Vino brings the cockroaches into the bed. Never do they get there on their own. I mean it doesn't happen all that often, maybe twice a year do I see a roach in the house, but if there is one, Vino is sure to bring it to bed for me! I'm getting much better about dealing with it. I only jump up about 3 feet now instead of hitting the ceiling like I did in the beginning. And after the roach is disposed of, I can go back to sleep normally instead of wrapping myself in the sheet like a mummy! Anyway, my heart was still pounding from the cockroach scare that I happily stayed up and chucked the mouse across the room for him for 20 minutes. Then we were both exhausted and had a good sleep. Awwww. Does he bring it back for you to throw it again? Yup, he fetches it back. Well, most of the way. He has an aggravating habit of dropping it just beyond my reach so that I cannot stay in a comfortable position while playing with him. Maybe he's just looking out for my daily exercise? -- Britta Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album |

I see them at the market all the time. I'd be really worried if I started seeing them in the house though! -- Britta Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album |

Of all the gross things cats do (bringing headless mice into the house, etc), I think bringing *living* prey, especially of the insect variety, would be the worst. I get spiders in my apartment from time to time, but thankfully, none of the cats has thought to bring it into the bed. He has an aggravating habit of dropping it just beyond my reach so that I cannot stay in a comfortable position while playing with him. Yes, all the cats I've ever played fetch with do this. This past week, I house-sat for someone who had 2 dogs (among other pets), and I discovered how rewarding it is to play fetch with an actual dog, as opposed to a dog- like cat. Don't worry, I'm not changing my allegiance - I'll always be a cat slave first and foremost - but fetch is a dog's game, and dogs do it just plain *better* than cats. Maybe he's just looking out for my daily exercise? Or maybe getting back at you for making him exercise! Joyce |
