I am home today and I thought it’d be nice to just chill. I’m not in-game, I’m not even out of my PJs, I am sitting in the living room, feet up on the couch, watching Law and Order on TNT (sound familiar?). Nala is awake and playful. She seemed to have lost her mind, because she kept chasing air around and pouncing on it.
We bought mice that looks like this picture here for them. Bear had loved them before and she seemed to love them too. Well, lately they seem to have rediscovered them and were chasing them all over the house. Hubby and I would get awake in the morning and there’d be one in each bathroom, one under our bedroom door and one tucked away in the laundry room … and then every so often, I move aside the couch or entertainment center and they’re all grouped up under there – chased properly out of sight.
One night, I watched Bear dominate both mice that were currently in play. First he chased one down the corridor, around the living room and finally under the entertainment center. After almost crawling under there himself, he gave up and went on his way. Little Nala just sat aside and watched Bear bat the mouse around. When it disappeared under the entertainment center, she looked at us and then at Bear a couple of times, and then just got up and went to sit somewhere else.
This morning, since she was chasing air, I decided I’d get the mice out from under the entertainment center for her. Oh she was ecstatic. But while I am watching her play with them, I notice something. The minute she gets close to the base of the entertainment center, she would stop, pick the mouse up in her mouth and walk far away with it – away from the entertainment center. The first 2 times I saw her do it, I thought it was just her play routine – pick it up in her mouth and run with it. When it happened 3 and 4 more times, I began to think that maybe she KNEW she would lose it under there and so made a decision to take it away from the “danger” spot. And it occurred to me that cats ARE smart that way sometimes … could our little Nala be THAT smart?
