Emma's new blog

[gwyn]

After months and months of trying, I finally caught Emma on tape carrying her beloved flea comb around. It was very hard, and it's just a quickie video, but it's a rare sighting -- only a few select people have ever seen her do this. She carries it from room to room, talking loudly to it in meows, trills, and beeps. She no longer does a lot of her other seriously cute, weird behaviors, like hooking her back claws into the carpet, behind her head, and twisting around with her butt up over her head, but I'll settle for the flea comb because it's just high-larious. I set up an imeem account to upload the video, which is here and I also hope to upload more pics of her there so I won't have to deluge LJ with stupid cat pics. that sound in the background isn't a baby crying, it's her talking. She is really loud. Notice also the broken teeth -- years of carrying it have taken most of the teeth off on either end.

ETA: I sent it in to Cute Overload, my very favorite web site. I don't know if I'd be lucky enough to get it on there, but it can't hurt to try.

This behaviour is very, VERY similar to what Belle, the downstairs kitty, does with Roger, her stuffed toy kitten. She won't let you SEE her doing it... if you come across her carrying Roger, she will drop him INSTANTLY, and walk away, all "what stuffed kitten are you talking about? I don't have time for this nonsense." Yet strangely, Roger has appeared in every room in this house, on table tops, in chairs, in the back yard, in the front yard, out in the STREET, (she's not always a great Mom) and if you can approach unnoticed, you will hear her doing that same distinctive YOWLING thing, like she thinks she's a much bigger lion.

OMG, that is HIGHlarious. I've told Emma she is not alone in this behavior but she seems unimpressed. Honestly, I don't even think she realizes in the tiny little walnut brain space that she is doing something. At least it sounds like Belle has an inkling that others would think it funny; Emma acts as if it's all part of kitteh-hood. I wish so bad I'd had a digital camera a few years ago to catch her other weirdnesses she's long stopped engaging in. (But I am at least glad she's stopped taking things out of my bag and hiding them.)
