It's So Cold That ...

that the cat has been using the litter box instead of going outdoors.

And worse yet, so cold that the cat is actually playing with a ball of twine. Her lack of hunting possibilities is driving her nuts -- so insane that this aloof creature is actually willing to interact with us instead of with the mousies and gophers, actually willing to treat a piece of string as prey.

That's cold! The kids said that they'd never seen a real cat play with a real ball of yarn: that's just something you see in pictures or read about in books. And here she is -- desperate enough to chase something --ANYTHING-- that she'll be a stereotypical cat.

  1. Our cat has been in alot lately too and she has her moments when she thinks she's a kitten and plays like that, but she has always been pretty lazy. Her belly tells of that. She is usually in the middle of the livingroom floor sleeping. It's amazing she doesn't weight 30 lbs. LOL

  2. They said they'd never seen it before? Apparently they can't remember when she was little, she would play with balls of yarn sometimes(but she made a mess so it only happened a few times).
