Can pets have pets? Rooney has adopted Sam's stuffed squirrel. He carried it upstairs from the basement like carrying a kitten in his mouth. And now he goes over and licks it around the ears like he does with his brother. At first I thought he regarded the squirrel as an enemy (see Kitten Chronicles - part 82?). But now I see he's using it as a companion for the times Rufus won't play with him (Rufus, in his defense, wants to do sensible cat things like lie in front of the hot air vent and Rooney wants to chase and bite him constantly - this gets old fast) So now Rooney has his squirrel pal. Despite being severely cuffed around the squirrel won't chase him. This causes him to chase his tail instead. I'm beginning to think it's all the plastic he's been eating that is rapidly unhinging him. Yesterday I caught him on the kitchen counter gnawing on a spatula - so I've hidden all the spatulas in a drawer.
I don't want to contribute to his feline breakdown. The Big Cat ain't no enabler. Better he enjoy his stuffed squirrel. xxx dad
