the crazy cat routine

This morning, while I was in the bathroom attempting to tame my hair (it's getting really long, I swear it grew two inches in the last week), Juliette made her morning appearance. So I turned on the faucet and let her drink the cold water. Then Atticus found the shadows on the shower curtain to be fascinating and he joined in the bathroom party. Have I mentioned our bathroom is small?

We call Atticus' addiction, "kitty tv". He will sit and stare at the shadows on the wall all morning. Willing them to move with his Jedi mind tricks. If a bird flies by, look out! He will go after the shadow. Bill and I have both started to play shadow puppets with him. It's amusing, just as amusing to us as it is to the cat. The best part is he doesn't seem to connect that our hands, which are right behind him, are the ones making the shadows. Nope. He is intent on catching whatever that thing is that is on the wall.

We should buy a laser pen. He would go nutters for that.

Instead we will continue to play shadow puppets and share the small bathroom with the cats. As Bill said last night, maybe we should talk about boundaries...
