Subject: Glider v. Siamese Cat - Cute Story
Posted by Wendy on January 29, 1999 at 16:35:28:
When I first got Furby back in December, I accepted the fact
that Merlin, my siamese cat, was going to be a concern,
consequently, I always keep a close eye on the both of them
whenever they're in a room together. After the first week
or two, both have been able to co-exist in my lap at
night while I watch T.V. with no problems. Merlin is
definitely aware of Furby, in fact each night they start off
with a small mutual nose sniffing thing, but then they both
settle down, Merlin to his napping and Furby to his snacking. Anyway, last night the most amazing thing happened. First
off, Furby got it in his head he wanted to groom Merlin's
back, which amazingly, Merlin tolerated until Furby nibbled
once, just a bit too hard. Then it gets better; Merlin starts thrashing his tail and
Furby began chasing it. He would dance around, jump up,
catch it in both arms, hold it down as best he could, and
groom it a bit until Merlin whipped it out of his grasp and
they'd do it all again. Believe me, the cat knew exactly
what was going on. He almost seemed to be enjoying it.
This went on for several minutes. My husband and I just
sat there and shook our heads in complete amazement. Merlin is different from most cats, in that he has always
enjoyed what my husband affectionately calls, "the tail
game", this is where my husband yanks and pulls on his tail
and the cat digs his claws into the carpet or couch and hangs
on for dear life. So, this looked to us to be another version
of the "tail game". What absolutely amazes me is that a
9 year old male cat is allowing an animal that in the wild
would be considered lunch, play with his tail. ~W~
