BW--SKISK-SKISK-SKISK!
I was dozing off for a good night's sleep with Robin curled up on my
arm with his head on my pillow and purring into my hair. Then I felt Westie jump on the foot of the bed and make his way toward me. He likes to sleep against my back. But he didn't stop. He continued right up onto the extra pillows. Then I heard it! Scree, scree, scree! The sound of cat claws on the wall! I immediately say "skisk, skisk, skisk", as I lean over and start flailing at him with my arm. I connect with his tail, I think, as he runs off. He only has two speeds: walking, and running at top speed! I settle back down with Robin, who never stopped purring. Of course, my arm is still under him. We are really purring and snoozing when I felt Westie come back. He again slithers up onto the pillows (he will sleep there sometimes) and I hear Scree, Scree, Scree again! I do the "skisk, skisk, skisk" again and flail with my arm. this time I manage to roll him off the pillow. And he takes off at high speed. I settle back to my pillow with Robin; but I can't seem to recapture the blissful dozing state. Time goes by with Robin purring. Then I feel Westie climb up carefully onto the bed, and slowly walk stealthily toward me. I think maybe he has learned his lesson and has come to sleep with me. But he gets on the pillows again. And then leaps up SCREEING across the wall full of pictures! I come up off the pillow, dumping Robin and swinging my arm again! I am practically yelling "SKISK, SKISK, SKISK" as I connect with his body and roll him across the bed! Both cats take off running at top speed! I settle back to my pillow as I miss my purr-motor. But I am wide awake as I stare at the window, the moomlight coming in and shining on the wall above the bed. a miller-moth is fluttering in the light, making a moving shadow on the wall. Silly cat was chasing a shadow! -- CATherine |

Judith He really is zealous about chasing the evil millers. I certainly wouldn't want one trying to hide in my nose or ears! "Keep after them, Westie; but stay off the picture wall!" -- CATherine |

Yes, it's unusual here too, because wallpaper is not a pleasant scratching material. There has to be something unusual, like a moth or a red dot bug, to trigger it. |
