My circus cats

Crookedblaze · 08-03-2008, 10:50 PM

I, apparently, have the most talented (unnamed) barn cats ever.

My tie pole is really falling apart. The wood is rotten, it's put together with scraps but it stays there for...decoration? We havn't gotten around to removing it yet.

I have found a use for it. A cat trick pole.

My barn cats have become very friendly with me, and they all fight for attention. The oldest cat is 13, and he's too old to use a whole lot of energy, so he just sits on my feet and meows. The two black ones are younger and are very spry, they always find ways to sneak into the house, they follow me into the cars, and they will do anything for attention. So tonight, I was assessing the tie pole to make a plan for removal when my circus cats decided to scale the 3 foot tall vertical pole to walk along the tightline to get petted. I found this incredibly amusing because when the 4 lb cats jumped on it, the whole thing swayed.

So, here are my cats. We're entering Petstar next season :-P

First one figured it out...

Second one figured it out...

Traffic backup, sig alert!

"Bright...flash!"

Too cute!!!!

That's cute. Next you should take them in the house and try them on the top of the curtain rod. I have had a few do that. Then you can arrange a whole set for petstar. The tie rod, then the curtain rod and for the big finish the top of a door.

LOL their other talent is getting stuck in toilets. A few days ago I walked by my bathroom and heard a faint "Meoooooooow *splash* meeeeeow!" and sure enough, the smaller black one was soaking wet trapped in the toilet with the seat down. I saw little paws coming out from inbetween the seat and the bowl, I almost left him in there to get my camera.

That is too funny. Mico has discovered the toilet but not gotten in it just yet. His talent is climbing the utility room shelves and going all the way to the top and not being able to get down. I hear a meow, meeeeowwww. I then know he is stuck. Oh and getting in my dresser draws from behind and pushing them all out. At first I thought I had another worldy visitor till I saw them pushing out and realized it was him. Cats are so funny. Oh and by the way all of yours are just too pretty. I think they need a name though.

Maybe Magic and Sly. Unisex names and since they are sneaky seems like it would fit.

I've been trying to figure out named for them. Sly would be a good one for the bigger one, he's the one I'll randomly find in the house. And I do like Magic for the smaller one.

The big fat old orange one is Martin. It fits him.

I got a gift for naming critters

Just kidding.
I have two solid black kitties living with my aunt right now. Storme looks just like your kitties. She is a sleek solid black siamese mix. And a fuzzy black kittie named Cody. They are a character and so sneaky. I bet yours are fun to watch. I wish you could have gotten a picture of the kitty in the toilet. Next time it falls in there tell it to hang on and pose for the camera.

Your kitties are adorable. My kitties have 2 gifts - eat like piggies and determine which items I seem to be most attached to so they can break them into smitherines. Oh and sleeping....thats their gift to me hahah.
