My Ostrich

Now and then, my big boy, Renn, likes to relax with his head under the bed. This is a recent development but doesn’t seem to be connected with any discernible change in either Renn or the environment. I’m pretty sure he isn’t looking for anything under the bed, and when I speak to him about it, he surfaces happily, clearly untroubled by indigestion or nausea. When I peer under the bedspread from the other side, I observe that he is fully awake, and not trying to sleep, which he prefers to do on top of the bed, not under it. He doesn’t do this often, so it likely is not actually connected to meals. It may be that he likes the acoustics that he hears in this spot. It may be a smell that appeals to him. Or it may be that he’s messing with me. It’s probably the last.

  2. He's all cosy in a "cave," in his cat's mind, perhaps. (The "if I can't see you, I'm hidden" routine.) :-)

    I hope you've been enjoying your vacation! I'm taking the last week of June off, since July 1 is a holiday and we've been given the 2nd and 5th off as free bonus days this year (I assume every ON university is doing this, as a "thank you" from the admin). One week never is enough, but I'll take it!

  4. Whatever Renn is up to, it is probably just to keep you guessing. Bet he just likes having you stop what you're doing and take a lookie see. A little one on one face time, as the rest of you is too big to crawl under.

  6. RENN! That's what I have been doing since my surgery. Not all of me...just some of me. I come on out after a short time.

  7. Or Renn was thinking he hasn't been featured here lately, so he thought of a new way of providing you with blog material...

    ...hey, it worked, didn't it?

  9. We cats do like to maintain an air of mystery ;)

  10. I agree with you, John - Renn's probably just messing with you. He probably wants to play a game of hide and seek. After all, if he can't see you, you can't see him either.

  11. He probably does enjoy keeping you guessing. It could be the brighter sunny days and he just prefers to keep out of the bright light.

  14. I was going to say, he's just keeping you guessing. Cats - I'll never understand them but will love them none-the-less.

  16. He is talking to the Sprites who live under there that he has, obviously, made friends with
