Sammy - big moth hunter
Sammy has been very active this today. She had all the cupboards open
when I came home for lunch, and again this afternoon when I was done for the day. Once I turned on the computer I noticed that she was checking behind all the furniture, including climbing up the entertainment center to check behind the speakers. Finally she flushed her prey, which turned out to be a fairly large moth. They both procedured to the bedroom. A few minutes later I heard a thud in the bedroom - nothing major like the time she climbed up and managed to knock half the books off a shelf, just a medium thud. When I got up to check we passed in the doorway, she was on her way to the kitchen, me to check for damage in the bedroom. Turned out she had been checking the shelf in the closet. I suspect she leaped up, landed on a blanket, which instead of staying in place like any decent landing pad had slid off and deposited both on the floor. Anyway, I put it away I came back to enquire as to whether or not she had caught the nasty flying creature. I could tell that it was still on the lose, since she was now stationed on top of the Brita water filter I keep on top of the fridge looking around intently. I'm not sure where she's gotten to now, as I was just in the kitchen and she has moved on, but am keeping an ear cocked for any unusual noises - hoping for small to medium thuds and nothing major. -- Steve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html |

My Sammy manages to produce quite a lot of those. The last one was my 4' tall victorian doll (a frequent victim of assault, poor dear, due to the feathers, lace, and ribbons on her attire). When I came into my sitting room she was laying on her side, her hoop skirt was over her head, her long lace undies were showing for all the world to see, and her feathered hat was halfway across the room (the feathers were looking decidedly chewed).

Hugs, CatNipped Oh my. This reminds me of something totally not cat related. I have a doll my mom played with as a child in the 1930's. Nothing fancy. She has a cloth body and a voice box that (at one time) said "mama". Stitched on hair. Plaster (not porcelain) face, arms and legs. Mom says at one time she (the doll, although that fits Mom too!) had teeth. Anyway, someone had sewn some lovely clothes for this doll (her name is Peggy) and also blankets, one of which is lovely pink quilted satin. An uncle of Mom's built a small cedar chest to put the doll in with a drawer for her clothes. That trunk looks for all the world like a small casket. When I was moving back in 1998, one of the guys looked in this small coffin-like chest and then screamed. I mean, he literally screamed! I came running and saw what he was looking at. When he realized it was a doll, he laughed (rather shakily) and called his partner to come look. I had to stifle my giggles. Jill |

I'm sure she be back on the hunt soon, but for now she's taking a well deserved nap ;-) -- Steve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html |
