Our Cat’S New Game

[bainbrig]

Our cat, 10 years old so should know better, has invented a new jumping game - he tries to get round the room without touching the carpet.

Trouble is, he lands on slippery things (iPad, laptop, plates), which amuses him but makes things messy.

He’ll grow out of it I suppose.

Thinking back, other cats now long gone also invented games.

Lamby used to hide under the bed until you walked past, then shot out and ambushed your ankle. He seemed to like the shrieks.

And of course Stripes, who after playing pooh sticks as a kitten spent the next 15 years bringing home another six-inch twig from the bottom of the garden. (we still have boxes of them..)
