This definitely sounds like what goes on at our house.
“Ongoing turmoil in the troubled kitchen-floor region of the Branson household reached a boiling point Tuesday, as relations between rival house cats Boswell and Johnson erupted into fresh violence.”

So, there’s a huge storm hitting the Bay Area today.
This morning our cat Leo was meowing as usual at the sliding glass door to our deck wanting to go outside. The wind was whistling away with sheets of rain falling, and I tried to explain to him that he wouldn’t like it, but as you may know cats can be stubborn. I slid the door open a few inches and a huge gust of wind and rain blasted in, causing Leo to leap backwards in the air about 3 feet and tear off into the bedroom to hide under our bed.
Doing what they do best, here are our cats Leo and Grace being lazy.
Our cat Grace’s favorite pastime is lounging. She loves to sit on the easy chair with you, and once comfortable will often stay in a spot even if it becomes precarious, as it did one day when I was sitting with her for a while but had to get up.

Here’s a great story about a guy who trains cats professionally for a theater show. If it comes to the bay area Amy and I would go see it for sure.
“Each cat likes to do her own trick,” said Kuklachev, whose show has not been the target of animal rights protesters. “Maruska is the only one who does the handstand. I find the cat and see what they like to do and use that in the show.”
