I mean: What triggers that? What is going through the cat's brain at that moment? And how can we harness that energy for the good of our planet? Sometimes when Chantilly's CCT hits - she practically creates burn marks in the carpet as she thunders up and down the stairs and hallways -- that has got to be at least 100 crazy calories expended right there.WashingtonGardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03950523974356540767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16905485.post-41568493854825352462007-11-26T18:07:00.000-05:002007-11-26T18:07:00.000-05:00We call that Crazy Cat Time at our house.

Today Chantilly was acting very batty - you know when the cat starts zipping in and out of rooms and up and down stiars just because? During that she'd pause and give the crazy eyes to one of the fancy poinsettias I bought this weekend for holiday gift giving. It is now being moved to a high shelf.WashingtonGardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03950523974356540767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16905485.post-40547783118713907862007-11-26T14:01:00.000-05:002007-11-26T14:01:00.000-05:00Speaking of cat v. plant showdowns . . .

Seeing as this is the only plant my mom has ever been able to keep alive for more than a month, we are a bit concerned and it's now hiding under a sheet of white netting. I swear that palm shivers every time the cat comes in the room.<BR/><BR/>jbFirePhrasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461093040715853173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16905485.post-25997212093451295412007-11-25T20:28:00.000-05:002007-11-25T20:28:00.000-05:00You should definitely keep the orchid, and give it...You should definitely keep the orchid, and give it a little neglect to see if you can trick it into reblooming.<BR/><BR/>Kitty can not win!
