Tucker ignored the cylinder-house
cat-tree for so long that I assumed he either had no interest in it, or could
not climb into it, or both. Eventually, he showed me that he could hoist
himself into it, and quite handily, too. Even so, he generally left it to Renn,
as seen here.
But lately, the roly poly has been
enjoying the curved comfort of the cylinder-house. He also likes the fact that
it provides plenty of prospects for playing peek-a-boo. Yes, Tucker, long
thought of as the baby of the family (though Renn is younger) becomes quite
happy playing that simple game. Whether I use the partition that separates the
dining area from the entrance vestibule, or whether I look in one side of the
cylinder-house and then the other, Tucker seems to get a kick out of it.
The cylinder-house, however, gives
him scope to twist and turn, looking at me sideways, then upside down, first to
the right, then to the left. His purrs at such fun can become quite loud, and
he squeals when I grab the top of his head unexpectedly. His stubby forelegs
can barely reach my fingers, which merely makes him squirm all the more.
Though the cylinder-house cat-tree
has never faced a window, it has rarely lacked for occupants. Indeed, its
structure makes it rather disadvantageous for viewing the scenery, and is much
better to use for slumber. And, as Tucker demonstrates, for playing.
That is just the sweetest thing!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are terrific! They show just what a character Tucker really is!
ReplyDeleteAwww that looks like a fun game. It is nice to have a good little play.
ReplyDeleteA pussy~cat peeping around a corner is so
ReplyDeletefunny..Always makes me laugh..! :).
Perhaps you should get one of those 'Sharkies'
John..like Poppy!x had for her birthday..I
was amazed how big and long it was..Strange
though, cats still find a discarded box the
best thing to play with..then sleep in of
course..Bless! :)
That IS the sweetest thing just as Brian said. And that dear face of his. He is so handsome and his face is adorable. That candy pink nose...my goodness. I love playing peek-a-boo with Katie. She doesn't do that as often now that she is an older girl, but she does still peek around a corner at me several times and I make the little surprise sounds she loves.
ReplyDeleteIt seems every cat has a place to snooze. Precious is in
ReplyDeleteher blanket fort right now, set up over my recliner foot rest.
So of course, the chair extends into the room even when a person
is not in it!
What a silly sweetie he is. I'm glad he's having in it, at least for the moment. :-)
