How to keep an idiot happy.
So there I was, sitting at my computer, trying to get some email done, when ACfH starts begging for fetch. This has become a routine; my sitting down to the computer is a signal for fetch to begin. She’s lost her butt-ugly mushroom somewhere in the apartment (it didn’t even turn up during the usual clean-up/vaccuum of a few days back) so it’s the springy-tailed mouse that’s getting all the Grey Marvel’s attention at the moment. To prove the kitten is still alive and well, in spite of any dreams I may have had, allow me to present the following:
How To Keep An Idiot Kitten Happy
Ingredients:
1 Idiot Kitten
One springy-tailed mouse toy
One very expensive glass topped coffee table imported from Italy
OK, how do we get through this invisible force field, captain?
Perhaps a stealthy approach to the underside of the table will do the trick.
Alright, we’ll try brute force to get through the glass from underneath
Well that didn’t work. I suppose we’ll try sizing things up next. There’s got to be a way to do this.
Ah! A break in the force field. Can we reach between the glass table tops?
A frustrated grab pulls the mouse into reach.
The mouse is liberated, but the fun contines.
Frustration peaks as cat bites mouse.
And the table plays tug-of-war too!
A pounce on the glass ensures the mouse is taken prisoner.
Success in the form of a mouse by the tail.
I love this cat.
