Persia is a Goofy Cat
Persia has a number of kitty toys in the living room. A crinkly mylar ball,
a bottle-brush mouse (literally made from a natural fiber bottle brush with a sisal rope tail with a bell on it, and little felt eyes and ears). She has mousies that rattle (they used to have tails). Then there's her favourite re-fillable plush fabric catnip "mouse". Normally her toys are scattered all over the room. A few days after John arrived I started noticing they were all bunched up in a tight little group in the middle of the room. At first I thought John had done it. (He's an artist; who knows what he'll do!) But he said no, he didn't touch her toys. So I conducted a little experiment. I spread them out. We had some errands to run yesterday. When we got back, the toys were all bunched up in a group again. Is she afraid John is going to mess with her toys?! Who knows what goes on in those little minds of theirs? It's not like he's a stranger. Sure, he only visits a few times a year but she knows him. And she takes over his shoes (sandals) the minute he slips them off his feet. She rolls around on them, rubs her head all over them, marking them with her scent. Oh, so it's okay for you to mess with *his* "toys", but you're afraid he'll bother yours? LOL Cats are just plain goofy. And so adorable! Jill |

LOL Cats are just plain goofy. And so adorable! She's certainly very adorable! I suspect this is a common thing - Buster also keeps his toys clustered. In his case, it has the dual benefit that when he trots over to his stash and sits next to it, staring at me, that communicates very clearly that he wants to play. Strangely, Dot also goes over to his stash when she wants to play. They're her toys too, but she leaves the feng shui to Buster. |

When Licky wants to play, he runs around emitting a long series of loud and very demanding yowls. Whereas Roxy trots over to the "petting and playing area," rolls onto her back and waves her arms around. -- Joyce The average, healthy, well-adjusted adult gets up at seven-thirty in the morning feeling just terrible. -- Jean Kerr |
