Cat ON a Plaid Igloo
Posted December 19, 2008 11:06am ET
Back in August, I posted a couple photos of our cat Mei Mei sitting in her new plaid igloo. A month later we somehow ended up with a second cat, and both of them trade off ‘ownership’ of the igloo (sometimes through violent coup-d’états).
But something curious happened along the way. They don’t like sitting IN the igloo anymore, they prefer to sit ON the igloo. At first I thought this was a fluke—it had gotten crushed in during one of their battles, and they couldn’t figure out how to open it up again and made-do on top. But no, it wasn’t that logical. I’ve opened it back up for them many times, and inevitably I come back an hour later to find one or the other of them sitting on top again.
Go figure.
Don’t you know, Scott? Cats do things their way, regardless of how the object/toy is supposed to function. For example, I got Zoe one of those long scratching post things that you put catnip on. If I put catnap on it (which isn’t often), yes she goes psycho high rubbing all over it. But most of the time if she uses it, she lays on it.
