that's the kitty
He's got the glowing eyes of mischief. He's done things that I wish I had a videocamera for... such as:
1) Jumped onto a bannister that was slick, slanted, and barely wide enough for his fat belly. Usually he jumps onto unslick, unslanted surfaces. So this bannister was a surprise. He desperately tried to maintain his grip, before sliding off into carpeted oblivion.
2) Jumped into an empty shredder bin. Let me explain. I separated the bin from the shredding machine, in order to empty it out. Never got around to re-joining them. So he was curious. He didn't know that his butt would be "hanging out" over the top, since the bin's too narrow to fit his butt. His rear feet were flailing, too. His head was stuck. He started to wiggle, started to tip the bin over. Then he executed a backwards jump (if you understand), sort of a launch directed backward. He got out, amazingly without completely tipping it... it just wobbled back into place.
3) Pounced on a toy in a way that should be broadcast in youtube's funny cat tricks. He did this running pounce on a ball with a faint bell inside. When he landed, the ball was centered underneath his body, like he meant to cover it, to dominate it. Well, except he didn't know where the ball had gone. He looked left and right, left and right (several times over); with each turn of his head, the ball made its faint noise. He was so frustrated! Where'd the darn thing go?? Ok, he did figure it out eventually...
