Why don't I get it?
I must have a very long learning curve, or a short memory. Otherwise I would be able to see the reasoning, the connection, between my opening the window, and him stampeding all over the house, as if his tail was on fire. Stinky has a tendency to get so excited over certain things that make him happy, and rejoice so thoroughly in his looney little way, that he seems to forget what it was that started him off in the first place.

(Aldous Huxley) Grant does this too. The other night he ran around and jumped on a cat perch, had too much momentum and bashed into the wall. I thought he broke something. It's a wee bit scary.

Roxy does this almost every night, and I don't have to do anything to start it. At least, nothing deliberate. Who knows what she's reacting to - maybe it is something I do, but if so, I have no idea what it is. She gets so wild that she can make even 10-month-old Licorice seem stodgy by comparison, although he does enjoy it when she gets like that, and will chase her, or play hide and seek. Smudge, on the other hand, wants no part of such silliness, thank you, and will seek high ground when the craziness begins. Joyce |

Who knows what she's reacting to - maybe it is something I do, but if so, I have no idea what it is. Stinky still does this a couple of times a day, too-- but this was spontaneous, extracurricular stampeding. She gets so wild that she can make even 10-month-old Licorice seem stodgy by comparison, although he does enjoy it when she gets like that, and will chase her, or play hide and seek. Smudge, on the other hand, wants no part of such silliness, thank you, and will seek high ground when the craziness begins. When I had the two of them, Mimi (RB) and Stinky, Mimi liked to run around the house, too, but like the little prima donna she was, she was strictly a solo act. She would take off, and Stinky, like the playful youngun he was, would take off after her, thinking of course she must want to be chased. Mimi wanted no such thing-- at least not from him-- and would beat the crap out of him every time. When Stinky would get into his stampeding mood, Mimi would take the opportunity to grab the coziest place on the beds or couch.
