	BlackChampagne -- no longer new; improvement also in question.: Cat Pursuit. Thursday, September 29, 2005 Cat Pursuit. Jinx likes to run. Despite that inclination, she's not actually very good at it. Oh she's nimble, and she's got great acceleration, and a pretty good top speed. The part she's not very good at is path-finding, since she tends to crash into walls, jump too low and bounce off the front of the couch or the side of the bed, run full speed into the dead end hallway when the doors or closed, or back behind the couch when there's no other way out. Etc. She also tends to stop very quickly and for no apparent reason, a behavior that sometimes allows the slower Dusty to catch her, and one that has nearly gotten her squashed numerous times, when the two heavy-footed humans in her house occasionally indulge in her desire to be chased, and pursue her down the hallway. The oddest "run Jinxie run" thing yet though, happened tonight. She and Dusty have their yearly vet appointment tomorrow morning, so we've brought the two kitty carriers in from the storage closet. We leave the cages sitting out for a day or so before taking the cats anywhere, so they'll get used to the scent of the devices and not run at the sight of them. It works too; the cats don't show any fear of the cages, though that's more about their small brains than our clever behavior -- I think the cats just aren't smart enough to remember that those cages = travel in them in the car, even though they vigorously hate that experience. The cages are sitting in the hallway, down near the bedroom and bathroom doors, and after watching hyper Jinxie charge around the living room, and grunt and race up and down the hallway a few times, I got up, and on my way to the bathroom I clapped and shuffled my feet and said, "Jinxiejinxiejinxie!" while charging her. She leapt up and gave her little "Prrowrt brrout!" sound effect, and raced down the hallway, heading straight into the no-escape bathroom and jumped into the tub. When I rounded the corner on her heels and reached over to molest her in the tub, she leapt past me and ran... straight into the kitty carrier. Where she crouched down, as if I wouldn't see her. Yes, this is the same cat that managed to avoid capture for a full half an hour the last time Malaya tried to bring her and Dusty back from Malaya's parents' house. And the same cat that will doubtless serenade Malaya all the way to and from the vet's office tomorrow, showing her usual frantic desire to escape from the kitty carrier. Is a cat's ability to be maddening and frustrating completely coincidental to their stupidity? Or a direct by-product? Sometimes it's hard to tell. Posted by: Flux # 2:57 AM Comments: Leaving the cage out like that doesn't help my parents cat at all. There's is a completely metal barred one with a plastic base. If you were to bring it out when the cat didn't see it, and somehow not make any noise (knock it on anything etc) and then put it down quietly, he wouldn't mind. But if you just ran your fingernails over it so the bars would vibrate and sing out, he'd hear it from 5 m away, get scared and hide under something. And yes, we have sometimes left it out for a week plus, and he's still scared of it (he'd run past it while watching it worriedly if it was in his path). This is the same cat that hid under his sheepskin blanket for 5 1/2 weeks while we were overseas and didn't come out once. The cat whom the cattery owners got a vet to come in an investigate because they'd never seen anything like it. #: 1:15 PM posted by Anonymous cats are for GIRLS. is 'vehyowe' even a word? #: 3:32 PM posted by Anonymous Post a Comment << Home Archives May 2005 June 2005 July 2005 August 2005 September 2005 October 2005 November 2005 December 2005 January 2006 February 2006 March 2006 April 2006 May 2006 June 2006 July 2006 August 2006 September 2006 October 2006 November 2006 December 2006 January 2007 February 2007 March 2007 April 2007 May 2007 June 2007 July 2007 August 2007 September 2007 October 2007 November 2007 December 2007 January 2008 February 2008 March 2008 April 2008 May 2008 June 2008 July 2008 August 2008 September 2008 October 2008 November 2008 December 2008 January 2009 February 2009 March 2009 April 2009 May 2009 June 2009 July 2009 August 2009 September 2009 October 2009 November 2012
