The calico is chasing the tabby who weighs twice as much as she does all over the house. She's gone into demon mode.

Ah, my black cat and gray cat do this all the time. Especially at 3 in the morning. The calico just watches in disdain.

I was gone all weekend (though a pet sitter came in) and when I got home this afternoon 17 pound orange tabby chased around 7 pound black tortoiseshell, until 7 pound began chasing 17 pound. They both yelled at me for 2 hours.
It's been hell on paws tonight. Good luck, spork!

Do you hail from Planet Hello Kitty? It's like an action movie, but boring.

That is so funny! That's what I always say about my one cat--he actually seems to be galloping at times, whereas the other one sort of scrambles. But the smaller one (who's about fifteen pounds) literally gallops after the big one (who's about 22 pounds). He keeps his ears pressed to his head and his tail kind of curls. It's really very cute because you can tell he's having fun.

Our black and gray cats also gallop at night! Drives us CRAZY. The black one then goes into "death meow" mode, a mode in which low-pitched and long, desperate, pathetic mrrrrrowwwwws are emitted. These are designed to worry the humans enough to get up and check on the cats. When the groggy human does this, both cats trot toward the kitchen/food bowls, casting hopefuly glances over their shoulders. Manipulative little @#$@%s. |

I like this thread.
My cats also throw hopeful glances, though these are upward since they're usually doing figure eights through my legs as I walk toward their food bowls. They are trying to kill me.
My other cat is frequently caught with a woollen afghan in his mouth, while he kneads it and stares into the distance with glazed eyes. Very pervy. I think it's a nursing thing, but very occasionally he actually seems to be trying to hump it. Poor guy.

Our new cat kicks ass. She is a year old and just started going outside this spring. She is such a beautiful soft kitty I was surprised that she turned out to be hell on four paws. She slays the neighborhood birds with frightening skill. One early evening last week she came up to the door with a freshly killed bat in her mouth! The really surprising thing is that she totally intimidates and runs off all the other cats in the neighborhood. Our neighbors harbor lots of tough half-wild underfed cats. Our kitty charges at them if they set foot in our yard and sends them packing. She has no fear.
She is also shedding huge quantities of that soft long golden hair all over the house.

What cracks me up is when a cat is in the yard looking still and serene--then out of NOWHERE she suddenly does this bolting galop across the street, as if Cujo is right on her heels. Some kind of supersonic sensitivity?

Cats are wacky. My littlest will attack the fatty (20 lbs) and run amok too. She's also a fiend when I play with her with my hands. A hand model candidate I am not.

I LOVE it when cats gallop around like demons are hot on their tails! So funny. We live in a small apartment so the kitties don't have much room to gallop, so they hurtle over the sofas to add a little dimension.

A favorite trick: cat lurks around the corner. When unsuspecting human walks by, cat launches herself from behind, soars through the air stretched out like Supercat ... and grabs human around the waist with both paws! As the startled human shrieks/wets pants/drops breakable items, cat goes tearing out of the room at supersonic speed with ears back and tail curled.
We call this maneuver "bringing down the water buffalo".

Can you do it back to your cat? I had a cat I could play this stalking game with...it was hilarious. Of course, don't squish the kitty. |

I prefer beagles myself, though most cats are probably brighter.
