Thread: Drop the ball, squash the ball, spank the ball

When Neevie plays, often she'll drop whatever she's playing with, for example a ball, then like she's being distracted and doesn't really realise what she's doing she walks over it and then lies down on it, so that it is a bit squished under her tummy. Then she looks like "oh look what happened! who put that there!? well I ain't getting up for it!" and then starts a kind of back leg kick as it tickles her tummy, like she wants to expell it from under there... and then inevitably after a while ends up rolling over on her side and spanking the living daylights out of the toy in question...

The first few times I observed it I thought she hadn't lied down on it on purpose and that she was really distracted, and laughed because she was a wally and it was tickling her tummy.
But now I see she's really more and more doing a play of "lalala, I'm looking at something else and being distracted looking at the wall, lalala oh I kind of feel like lying down just riiiiight.... here... HEY! what's that!" kind of thing.

Anyway - is it just her? do yours do something similar?

or do they have another quirk that makes you wonder what kind of wally you have in your house? ;-)

Alekto, that is so funny, I love how they amuse themselves and us at the same time! We have mirrored doors on the office closet and Ginger walks up to the mirror and talks to the kitty in it. Sometimes she tries to engage her image in play, which is pretty funny as she never gets the jump on the kitty in the mirror. She walks up to it and mews at really loud. I asked my husband if he thought she knew that was herself? oh wells, at least she has a cat friend! =^..^=

hahaha if you can't get another MC, Donna, you can still cover your house in mirrors ...

haha yes, the beagles think she is crazy, I noticed today she was mewing at a bug on the ceiling, I yelled hubby come kill this bug! yuck she is a bug alarm!

I can only speak from my experience with one of my old moggies, Bruno used to sit on George (my old horse that I had cremated, he is in a wooden box in the living room ! lol) and stare at the wall for ages and ages not moving ! lol He also tried to catch the snooker balls on the tv when it was on !!! lol Sounds like you have a real character there Alekto !! lol

OMG Chris is back! we missed you! *smile*
yeah she's really funny - now that she's calmed down a lot she's no longer so cranky I can really enjoy the pirate I have at home!
