my girlfriend swears this is true, because how else could they walk on bubbles? she swears her Cage did this one evening while she was soaking in the tub. he came to visit, decided the surface looked solid enough to walk on, and set off.
somehow he traveled across the bubbles and jumped off the other side of the tub without getting wet. she said it was really impressive.
i haven’t been so lucky - and neither was my big boy, Turk. he came to visit one night while i was in my tub, bubbles and all. in his case, he sank like a stone. did i mention all that fur turned him into a microfiber mop on steroids?
then i spent the next not so relaxing half hour wearing nothing but bubbles and a scowl chasing a frightened AND ultra-saturated Maine Coon + Russian Blue = a very big cat all over the damn house.
come to think of it, he hasn’t visited me in the tub since.
We had gotten something in one of those ultraflimsy made in Pakistan cardboard boxes and it was by the front door waiting to be taken to the burn pile. I’m sitting at my desk getting caught up on [DEL]Farmville[/DEL] work when I hear a startled shriek from my wife in the next room. When I get there she is laughing so hard she can’t speak so she just points at the box. Spartacus had shredded a hole in one corner and was using the box as an ambush point for the unwary. He would bolt out, attack their ankles, and then dash back to his refuge to await the next victim.
It was after my aunt’s funeral. I was wearing a necklace that consisted of a big pearl drop on a long chain. I took it off and draped it around the neck of my cat (who is a 27-lb lump now but then was a skinny little 6-pounder) He didn’t like that and tried to run forward out of the chain, which worked until it snagged against his vertical tail.
He quick spun around to fling it off, which didn’t work, so around and around he went. That spun the necklace so the pearl was whizzing around like a morningstar until, after about 5 rotations, the whole necklace was flung away.
Not all humans. This human would go and find her cats when laundry would come out of the dryer and put them on the top of the nice warm (clean) laundry. I’ve been trained well.
You named him Spartacus, you should have expected something like an unexpected attack some day! I wonder if he made an evil cat laugh when he got back in the box?

… dwyr, Pixel is gorgeous! Does he have those shiny penny-colored eyes? I’ve always wanted a pumpkin kitty but I already had a boy.

He does have those amber eyes. He’s pretty but not exactly a feline rocket scientist.
