3. The "Evening Crazies", methinks. . .
I've found cats are most susceptible to this activity post-dusk and pre-dawn: those are prime hunting times for cats out in the wild.

5. Mine wake up promptly at 11 pm and 5 am to do their "hunting"
Edited on Wed Mar-16-05 04:58 PM by Merlot
With an occasional romp pre 6pm feeding if I can get them motivated.

I love living with small preditors.

7. One of mine seems to get confused
and mistake my foot for his playmate every so often.

OW that hurts!

14. I'm lacking a digital camera
But my parents have one, maybe tonight when I get home I can steal it for a few minutes. My Monty's black and white, where one eye is black and the other white, and his nose has a black spot on it.
Oh, and he a polydactyly, with 6 toes on all of his feet.

8. My two males do that all the time
Sometimes one will stop short and the other will be forced to jump over the other. Very entertaining.

(My female is above it all.)

11. I've always wondered how they can be so loud.
It sounds like elephants going through the house, with the occasional crash. Every morning the newspaper from the day before is scattered over the room. And one night they found the stash of catnip that was in a sealed bag, ripped it open and was all over the floor.

15. We have carpet through out the house
but they can still get it to sound like a herd of horses thundering through. I do not know how they do it.
