Yesterday I smiled as I told you about Jet’s (aka Monster Cat’s) playing with a catnip mouse and a cardboard box in the middle of the living room.
Jet gave us quite a show yesterday evening as she ‘re-discovered’ the cat tower in the corner of the room.
It started with her leaping on the tower all of a sudden to play with the ball hanging from one of the top levels. She batted the ball as if it were a tether ball and gave us quite a show as she hung from the tower, toppled off, then leaped up again, attacking it from all angles, even finding a catnip mouse up on the highest level. We both stopped what we were doing to appreciate the show.
I’m happy that her personality is showing more and more. I think it shows she feels more confident now and is fearlessly exploring all areas.
One thing I DON’T like is her biting – with and without warning. I’ll be petting her when she has jumped up on the arm of my chair and she’ll suddenly nip me. Most of the time the bite is kind of like a ‘love bite,’ but I don’t want to encourage it. I am using my cosmetic misting bottle, trying to spray her just as she bites, in order to discourage this behavior. Hopefully, she’ll get the message and stop.
Meanwhile, she is causing lots of grins and laughs around here. My husband’s reaction after the show was, “Whatever we paid for the tower, it was worth every penny.”
