Hangin from the rafters

[nanila]

HELLO. I am CRAZED SPUTNIK. I have been fed many, many catnip-based treats by my overly enthusiastic bipedal niece and nephew. I think they were trying to win my affections. But then one of my usual bipeds SWITCHED ON A LIGHT. And it made SHADOWS ON THE CEILING. And I MUST CATCH THEM HO YES.



THEY ARE TRYING TO ESCAPE. I must go HIGHER.



HEIGHT ACHIEVED. THREAT DEFUSED.



MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

Little help now, please, bipeds.

Bipeds? WHY YOU LEAVE? Ungrateful bipeds will be punished. PUNISHED I TELL YOU.

(Concerned viewers will be pleased to know that Sputnik managed a most spectacular leap from the top rafter to the bed of his own accord. After such an exhausting escapade, immediate napping was required.)

Your cat is so going to the Olympics. :D

[nanila]

I think we can safely declare him to be a balance beam specialist. ;D

[liseuse]

Heh, cats! Always good for amusement!

[nanila]

And free dead things!

[liseuse]

Ah yes. Who could forget the free dead things? Though we are usually the recipients of free, fast-running alive things.

[nanila]

Mmm. Free speedy alive things, yes. Only slightly less of a calamity than the feathered-and-still-able-to-fly alive things.

I swear my cat just read that as he walked across the keyboard. Now he is perched on the windowsill looking thoughtful.

Sputnik: secretly a Circus!Cat.

battlehamster keeps telling the nieces that cats don't ever get stuck up trees and they look at him disbelievingly. "Have you ever seen a cat skeleton in a tree?" he asks. None of them have. I suspect the same applies to cats in rafters ;)

[nanila]

I like the idea of attempting to train a Circus!Cat. Next time we go to Norfolk, I'm going to bring a set of rings to attach to the rafters. And rub them with catnip.

a) Adorable.
b) My childhood cat was called Sputnik! ♥

[nanila]

It's a very good name for satellites whether metallic or furry.

[weaverbird]

Few things funnier than a stoned cat. Bet that leap to the bed was something to see!

[nanila]

It was! He landed, looked startled briefly, made a couple of wobbly circles, laid down, closed his eyes and was almost instantly asleep.

For about two minutes, when the 'nip kicked back in and he shot downstairs.

LOL

[fadedwings]

Awesome kitty!!!

[nanila]

He is an acro-cat. :D

[ironed_orchid]

That is a really nice kitty playground.

[nanila]

All we really need to do is cover those beams with carpet and we'd never see them on the floor again.

[ironed_orchid]

They'd probably come down for dinner.

[wordweaverlynn]

And I hope they'd come down for the litterbox.

[nanila]

Ah yes. Now envisioning the worst possible cat gift - flying faecal matter. Definitely worse than flying feathered matter.

Currently he's trying to convince me that I should put milk in his bowl rather than in my coffee.
