Winter boredom is a killer. And how do you combat it? If you're a cat stuck inside a house in East York day after day you may resort to wanton destruction. Actually "may" is too mild. Destruction is your mainstay in the fight against boredom. Looking for something to do? Quick knock a picture off the piano. Remove the leaves from a plant. T.P. every room in the house - it's fun!!!
So it was with satisfaction that I viewed the return of an old favourite game last night. It's called' kitten in a blanket' and it involves no destruction - imagine my relief. Here's how it works. One cat crawls up under the blanket over the couch in the TV room. He twitches provocatively. The other fur-face notices this twitching. What is it? Something's moving under the blanket! The cat on top then "tries to establish the identity of what's twitching". This involves biting the twitching lump through the blanket. And pouncing on it. Which of course results in even more frantic twitching from under the blanket. Eventually the twitching lump twitches so much it falls off the couch and onto the floor. And look! It was Rooney after all! What a surprise! The regular chasing resumes.
Nothing gets broken. The Big Cat smiles. He is pleased. xxx dad
