Sora the menace

[telophase]

So I posted a video a few days ago of Sora playing fetch with his recently-uncovered feathers-onna-stick toy.

We have created a monster.

Now that he's rediscovered the toy, and how much fun it is to play with it, playing with that toy is ALL HE WANTS TO DO. myrialux reported that during the day yesterday, Sora dragged the stick over to him at his desk, asking to play with it, several times. I got home from work and sat on the couch, here comes Sora with the stick. We go to Jason's Deli and get dinner to go and as we're sitting down and eating, Sora drags the stick over. I'm watching Top Chef bundled up on the couch with Nefer sitting on my feet, and Sora keeps picking the stick up and dropping it, hoping I'll get the message.

Last night, at some point in the middle of the night, I woke up to hear the strange almost metallic sound the stick makes as the end not in his mouth drags against the hardwood floor, all the way down the hall to the master bedroom. God help me, I pretended to be asleep to fool A CAT.

God help me, I pretended to be asleep to fool A CAT.

Don't worry, I do the same to fool my DOG.

He wasn't fooled. He was just disappointed in you.

If this was FB, I'd like this a zillion times.

Now you just need to film a few consecutive fetches and send it to planet's funniest animals or something.

Sadly, I don't think cats are fooled when you pretend to sleep. At least, mine aren't. If I'm awake enough to think "I'll just pretend to be asleep", I'm sending out enough consciousness vibes to alert the cat that he can just put that paw up my nose or lick my mouth and he'll get attention.

If Sora really wants my attention when I'm asleep or pretending to be, he gently pats me on the mouth.

I had a cat growing up who once, when I was pretending to be asleep and watching her through barely-cracked eyelids, reached out a paw, daintily extended a claw, and lightly tapped me on the nose.
