I was amused that she didn't seem to notice, or at least care, that the last two inches or so of her tail were dangling into the water. Clifford (RB) was a large cat, coal black except that the last inch of his extra-long and thick-furred tail was snow white. As far as we could tell, the tail had some autonomy. He never completely worked out who was in charge, after, for example, his experiences as a kitten when a white blob would chase him, no matter how hard he ran, no matter how many times he looked over his shoulder. One of my luxuries is a bubble bath. Clifford would climb on to my chest and curl up, purring, and forget the status of his tail. As it got increasingly waterlogged, and he cheerully switched it, it would start to feel as if I was being clubbed! So, I'd have to reach down periodically and wring out his tail. Clifford definitely understood the game of hide and seek, but considered it very much a rules violation if he was found merely because his tail stuck up. He made it clear that he believed his tail to be invisible when playing such games. |

artfully composed this message within on 21 Jul 2004: The answer came several day's later. Clifford had jumped on my ex's desk, and ran across the office-style telephone. He managed to step on "speakerphone" and a speed dial button. My sister's cat called me one time. -- Cheryl |

He made it clear that he believed his tail to be invisible when playing such games. Clifford sounds like he was alot of fun. He was the only cat I knew that was proven to have made obscene phone calls. One day, my ex-wife and I received a Very Serious phone call from a distant telephone company, saying harassing and obscene calls had been traced to this number. On asking for the times, we were mystified. Coincidentally, my mother-in-law mentioned she had been getting heavy breathing phone calls. The answer came several day's later. Clifford had jumped on my ex's desk, and ran across the office-style telephone. He managed to step on "speakerphone" and a speed dial button. A very intelligent cat, he recognized voices over the phone, definitely of people he knew, but occasionally a stranger saying a word such as "cat". When my M-I-L answered, Clifford, logically enough, went to greet her, by sniffing into the microphone. Of course, what this sounded like... When the mystery was explained to all concerned in a hysterically funny conference call, my M-I-L's last words were "well, he COULD have at least said meow." ROFL!!!! |
