Friday catblogging - Bad Weather Edition

Friday, January 4th, 2008

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.

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.”
