Something amusing for a change
I was sitting at my kitchen table, proofreading a PhD thesis (can't work
at my disk, because it's full of the old computer monitor and piles of books and papers . I didn't realise that Nikki was sitting by my feet until I moved one foot, nudged her and she squealed. I apologised profusely and made a fuss over her for a while, then went back to my work. A moment later, I moved my foot. Nikki squealed, but she was sitting way over to the side of the table, nowhere near my foot. I think she was saying, Hey! Watch it! I *could* have been sitting there!" It seems I am not allowed to move my feet around here at all. Let's see you get your food bowls filled or your litterboxes cleaned, then. -- Marina, Frank and Nikki marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ and http://community.webshots.com/user/frankiennikki |

Smokey is not normally skittish at all (around me anyway). So I slowly walked up to her again and she took off again. OK, I thought, one more try and then I'll leave her to sort it out. So I slowly approached her, talking to her the whole time and this time she mrrrowed and bolted off again. I finally realized that she was just playing Silly Bugger and wanted me to chase her. This was the first time she had done this. Cali used to love to play chase in her younger days, even though she is the nervous one. There may be hope for Smoke's brain power yet. |

Frank plays that way, too. Nikki doesn't like to be chased. She just freezes and stares at me in shock if I try to chase her. It's OK if Frank chases her, though. In fact she invites it. On the island, she will go and annoy one of the other cats, then she will run and hide behind Frank's back and let him deal with the annoyed cat. -- Marina, Frank and Nikki marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ and http://community.webshots.com/user/frankiennikki |
