Parrothead Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 For what ever reason there was a large paper bag with handles in the second parlor. The cat was in the bag. At some point she attempted to leave the bag by sticking her head through a handle. The bag tore. The cat terrified herself and started hissing. The dog jumped down to see hat was going on. The upset the cat even further ( she hates the dog). There they go. The cat with the bag handle now around her body, the dog in hot pursuit, the bag and cat making the most unholy racket. Through the first parlor, then the foyer, up the stairs to where the other cat was sleeping. Eventually I found one cat on top of a bookshelf, one cat under a bed with a bag still attached, and a dog unable to decide which cat to "help" At this point dh comes running up stairs from the basement. He has no idea what is going on. Dd and I lift the bed (remember he has had shoulder surgery recently) the cat bolted again. We caught her and had to cut the handle off to release its grip on the cat. Do you know what it is like to come after a terrified cat with scissors? Oy! What an adventure. Quote
Parrothead Posted January 12, 2013 Author Posted January 12, 2013 You couldn't even see the cat, just this torn bag screaming by at Mach 4. Quote
Parrothead Posted January 12, 2013 Author Posted January 12, 2013 And come to find out somehow in all the ruckus, the pellet stove or got opened and the fire went out. Now it is cold. Oy what a day! Quote
Lady Florida. Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 :smilielol5: :rofl: I can so picture that, and found myself laughing as I read it. Something like that could easily happen here with only a few differences. We're down to one cat now, and she and the dog are buddies. Our dog would have though it was play time with his kitty. Quote
Annie G Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 I really, really wish you had a video of this. I can picture it, but still... Quote
beaners Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 I love how cats are simultaneously drawn to bags and terrified of them. Quote
RoughCollie Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Very funny; I enjoyed reading this, and I'm glad nothing funny is happening here. Quote
Parrothead Posted January 13, 2013 Author Posted January 13, 2013 I really, really wish you had a video of this. I can picture it, but still... Oh, I wish I had also. But the initial ruckus was over so fast, hilarious as it was. Quote
MyLittleWonders Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Oh too funny! That reminded me of the kitten we had when I was in high school. She got a little too curious one night and stuck her head in a Kleenex box. Poor thing was terrified and was banging her head around attempting to get it off. My mom found her in the bathroom (it was about 2am), and was eventually able to catch her and free her. That cat gave us more hours of entertainment. Quote
Parrothead Posted January 13, 2013 Author Posted January 13, 2013 I love how cats are simultaneously drawn to bags and terrified of them. Yeah, what is with that? I'd had that bag for at least two Christmases. I used it to store holiday stuff. Now I have to go shopping at Macy's to get another. Do you think dh will like that logic? :lol: Quote
