Sometimes I break the rules for certain cats when they do certain things.
Indigo doesn’t leave the bedroom much. She has expanded her small world by spending time on Min’s cat-tree, and sometimes she wanders into the cat-room to sniff what is new there. But those are the normal physical limits of her life.
One day this week, I heard somecat making noise by the Cosy Cabin’s side-door. I knew it meant my shoes were being insulted by being treated as toys. I was expecting to see Valkyrie; she has enough toys and, besides, knocking the shoes about on the welcome mat, or the shallow shelf they sometimes rest in, throws dirt over the floor and onto the carpet of the stairs, if she happens to bat or drag them down the steps.
But it wasn’t Valk. It was Indigo, having a little fun with my footwear. That was different. I didn’t say anything to her, and she continued playing for another five minutes. Indie doesn’t get out much, and when she does, I won’t discourage her.
Sometimes I break the rules.

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your decision. As you said, she sure doesn't get out much around the Cozy Cabin. This is a breakthrough for her. Give her smoochies for Katie and me.
ReplyDeleteShe might "get out" more if she had her own shoes.
ReplyDeleteRules are sometimes made for breaking, and this was a good instance.
ReplyDeleteNo one knows their cats like their humans!
ReplyDeleteShe certainly still can surprise you! Your shoes must have smelled particularly enticing! 😁
ReplyDeleteEric and Flynn are right - rules are meant to be broken. It certainly sounds like Indigo is starting to come out of her shell and she's expanding her horizons.
ReplyDeleteAww good on her.
ReplyDeleteGlad she is having fun.
ReplyDeleteRules are meant to be broken .... ha ha ha ... esp if it's for a cute kitty!
ReplyDeleteThat's entertainment!😁
