Bathroom Kitty

Both Hunter and Pika love hanging out in the bathroom. Pika's deal has always been just sitting in the tub. I have these colored balls from when we first got the kitties but they never played with them. I was about to throw them out one day a few months ago when I randomly threw one into the tub when Pika was sitting in it. Now he loves it and he even sits there and meows to call me into the room to play with him.



I finally managed to have my camera handy when I was playing "catch" with him. I'll work on a better quality one soon. I'll record some of Hunter's bathroom antics soon too.

I was sitting at my desk one night last week with the window open so the boys can run in and out. I'm pretty tuned into their noises and comings and goings. I noticed Pika jumped through the window a bit more excitedly than normal (which is saying something). I looked out the window into the darkness and didn't see anything. Turning on the porch light I saw Hunter sitting on top of the step next to the gate. Nothing unusual. He sits there all the time and survey's his kingdom. I opened the door and was just about to walk over to him when I noticed what was up. Literally a foot in front of Hunter on the sidewalk was the ass end of a skunk with it's tail decidedly up in the air.

As I backpeddled and spoke in hushed tones for Hunter come inside, Hunter just rolled around on the concrete like cats love to do. It was like the skunk wasn't even there. You have to remember, Hunter goes ballistic anytime another cat is around. Here was a skunk, seemingly ready for action, right in front of him, and he wasn't even bothered.

The scene reminded me of a certain Looney Tune.



Fortunately the critter ran across the street into the darkness and I grabbed Hunter. Needless to say, I've been keeping the window shut and the boys inside the last few nights.
