4821.0. "HEATHER WAS SCARED" by CANYON::WARKMEISTER () Wed Jul 31 1991 12:51

    Mike, and I actually saw Heather scared last night!  We couldn't help
    but laugh!  She is always confident, and fearless!  Mike, and I were
    playing with her.  She was getting into that high energy stage.  He
    whispered a low, scruffy voice, and she didn't know what to think.  Her
    back arched up, and she started to get a bottle brushed looking tail.
    She didn't like that voice at all.  She jumped up on one of the chairs
    in the living room, and when Mike moved toward her, she tried to defend
    herself!  You could really see the fear in her eyes.
    
    What are some of the ways you have scared your cats without really
    meaning to?
    
    Hope to hear from you!

    P.S. - I remember one lady telling the story that her husband
    was in disguise.  This scared their cats.

	A couple of nights ago, T.K. was curled up in a basket sitting on a coffee table. The basket is not his, we use it to throw mail in but he decided he liked it. Doesn't bother me. Anyhow, he is laying they dozing and I was picking up a few things. I picked up a sock filled with some catnip and tossed it onto T.K.'s back. I expected him to sniff it and start playing. Nope, he leaped out of his skin, sent the basket and everything on the coffee table to the floor as he flew halfway across the room! I was laughing so hard and he just looked at me disdainfully and gave himself an indignant bath. Karen
4821.2	What a chicken.	SELECT::RIVERS	I'd rather be rich.	`Wed Jul 31 1991 15:38`	10
	I brought home a rabbit last night. Freeway, who in kittenhood was absolutely fearless, was terrified of it. His eyes were huge, his fur stood up all over, back was arched, tail was big, head down low, and he was motionless. Very stifflegged when he did move. Considering that the bunny sat it her cage and didn't so much as venture out near him, I thought it was rather amusing. kim
4821.3	Another scary story :-)	AUKLET::MEIER	All accounted for? ok, close the door!	`Thu Aug 01 1991 14:28`	6
	A couple of nights ago, my husband Bill was having a very bad night, awaking several times from nightmares. In one case, he woke up with a shout. That woke me up immediately, yelling from surprise. All of a sudden the bed was alive with furfaces running for cover!! Jill (Tigger, Hemi, CJ, Penny)
4821.4	Dinner's ready!!	MCIS2::HUSSIAN	But my cats ARE my kids!!	`Fri Aug 02 1991 13:19`	10
	Once the smoke detector went off (OK, so It was because I BURNED dinner!) and we just went into the other room to shut it off for a few mins. I didn't even think about it scaring the cats. Almost TEN minutes later I went into the bedroom & they were both hiding in there, puffed all up like they had been in the dryer, and big eyed! They were looking like they were defending themselves against one another. I immediately interrupted the stare down w/ lots of love and everything was fine. It was pretty funny seeing them like that tho! Bonnie
