A zoomy night
Last night my attention was so focused on the Kitty Show here that I
couldn't write up an account of what I witnessed. Beatrice and Abelard are a well matched pair of playmates. She's almost a year old now and appears to be finished growing, which makes her around the same size as Abelard. She just looks bigger because of her fur. And he was chasing her through the house, and vice versa, for the longest time. She usually plays with the bigger cats, and I guess she's intimidated by their size, because with Abelard she never screams, but she always does it when the others chase her around. The funny part is how they slide across the linoleum part of the floor while trying to get a grip on something with their claws, and if they're going fast enough they slam into the wall before making the turn into the kitchen. Their play centered around a new patch of grass I brought in and planted in a flowerpot. (I thought they's appreciate having several different types of grass, and now they have four.) This particular flowerpot is on the dining room floor. Abelard would crouch behind it and wait for Beatrice to approach, then leap on top of her and start wrestling. It's been a *long* time since I've seen Abelard with such a serious case of the zoomies. He even got into playing with Tommy for a while. He hasn't done that since he was very small. |

Sounds like a great show -- I'm currently watching Tucker and Robin wrestle again. Christine |

Chardin. And right now I have two cats who are chewing on each other... Cantate |
