You may not recognize this position since I rarely use it and mama just happened to catch me “hunting” a feather fishing rod (can’t food me–it’s fake but fun).
You see, I have to practice, because the other day mama was talking with her neighbour, Jean, and both she and he saw this grey tabby leaping and jumping and looking as if he had the heebie jeebies and mama saw that he was CHASING something and Jean said, “Oh, he runs after little mice all the time and keeps them out of the garden.”
That kitty is doing a St. Vitus Dance, whatever that is! Is he out of his MIND?
Well, I was taken aback. MICE? Something you CHASE? Then what if you catch it? Mama keeps talking about importing little mice for me to hunt, the way they used to stock forests for hunters, but frankly, I don’t really like that idea.
You can see why.
my little princess isnt much of a hunter. or should I say huntress haha
But isn’t that what we kitties DO??? Are we weird, or what?
Hunting mice…too much work! Just let them come to you, Loulou.
I wouldn’t know one if I saw it.
Saint Vitus dance becomes Danse de Saint Guy in French.
Odd…
So who was Guy??? Lombardo, maybe, haha.
Oh no, Loulou. You must fight your mama’s idea to import mice for you to chase.
Ppplease!
So far, so good.
hehheh – Mama says Sassy (the cat who lived to be 22 and was much loved – a BAAAD hilarious cat – brought a live mouse into the house (when they lived in New Orleans) and dropped it at her feet. I would have loved to have seen that!! I don’t suggest you “gift” your mama with a mouse – even though you would be very proud! Or unless you want to see your mama go nuts like mine did. Which could be fun. But you have the Killer Huntress position down perfectly!
Well, I have to fake it sometimes with that stupid feather fishing pole, but mama has told me tales about OTHER kitties bringing her “gifts” and dropping them at her feet, arghhhhhh.
Importing mice to chase? Hey, that sounds kind of neat, except Marcus would go berserk and chase us chasing the mice.
Oh, wow, I can just imagine THAT! Maybe import larger animals, a porcupine for example….
Among dog people the standard joke is – what does a dog do when he catches a car ?
HILARIOUS!!! Papa would probably like his doggy, if he had one, and if it could catch a car, to catch a Ferrari…haha.
Hahaha, you don’t need to hunt since you are the princess of the house! But we would hope you would chase and get rid of wild mousies if they are in your domain. I’ll bet they stay away from your area because they know you are the boss there.
Oh, I think you are right. They have seen my FIERCE expressions and HUGE TEETH and LONG CLAWS and said, “I’m outta here.”
