Just because I haven't blogged in a while, I thought I'd get back into everyone's good graces with a picture of my cat, Meri. She's on what we call her "wildebeest," the back of a chair. She leaps upon it like a hungry lion on an unsuspecting wildebeest, digs in her claws and gives us her best ear-tilted, wild-eyed crazy look, right before she shoots down the hallway to the other end of the house. It's a long hallway so she can get up some considerable speed.
After a few minutes of ominous silence, she reappears from the hallway, running at top speed, leaps off the top step at the end of the hallway, and hits the ground with a solid thump. Sometimes she'll fetch up entirely across the living room (about 23 feet square) and bang her body into the door to the garage. Sometimes we'll hear her making a little "rrrrrr" noise under her breath as she runs, like a small boy making motor sounds as he pretends he's an airplane.
Funniest cat I've ever had. She makes us laugh at least once a day, sometimes much more.
That wildebeest never knew what hit it.
A funny cat story and picture definitely does the trick for me. I watch my cat do more and more bizarre things every day as she becomes more senile in her old age.
ReplyDeleteMeri doesn't have the age excuse, she's only about four. We expect many years of bean-brained nonsense from her.
