Cats can be really strange


I don't know about you, but my cats can be really strange. They are thinking up new ways to amuse themselves and me. Just yesterday for example, Silly Rocket Girl decided to climb up the cat tower. Shadow Guy Wookie was already at the top of the cat tower, and he was laying on the blanket that was draped over the tower. Normally when Silly decides to get on the tower, she climbs in a lower hole into the tower. But last night she decided to climb to the top of the tower UNDER the blanket. Shadow looked over the edge and watched as this mysterious bulge in the blanket started moving up the tower toward him. He wasn't too concerned until this bulge crested the top of the tower and started actually pushing against him. By this time, he had had enough and reached out a massive paw and WHACK, he hit the bulge.

The mysterious moving bulge reacted with a startled muffled meOW! Satisfied, Shadow started to go back to sleep. But Silly Girl kept pushing and pushing. Finally Shadow relented and hopped down the tower. Silly girl pushed on forward until suddenly she thrust her head and shoulders out beyond the blanket. The blanket then draped itself along her shoulders and over her back and looked exactly like a robe that royalty would wear. Silly Girl was so proud of herself. She sat up and started looking around her new domain. My wife grabbed the camera and took several pictures of Silly Girl.

I have no idea of why Silly Rocket Girl decided to climb up the cat tower UNDERNEATH the covering blanket. It was probably one of the most weird things I have ever watched. But it was sure funny.

I hope your pets bring you as much pleasure as mine do me.

Sincerely,
