Another milestone in Smokey and Amy's relationship
0 comments
Today, Smokey made his first calculated pounce on Amy (that I know of). Amy was just laying there, watching me putter around fixing breakfast, and Smokey kind of sidled by me looking at Amy sideways, and when he got a couple feet away, he turned suddenly and pounced on Amy's face.
It was so funny, he was wrapped around Amy's muzzle like the baby aliens in the movie, just hung there for a second, then dropped off and walked away like nothing had happened. Amy was looking at me with a puzzled look on her face, like she was saying, "What just happened?"
I was practically rolling on the floor laughing, Smokey was just sauntering away with his tail twitching in the air like he had taught Amy some kind of valuable lesson.
The funny thing is, all the times Smokey has ambushed Amy and swiped at her with his paws, I'm certain he has never extended his claws because Amy has never yelped or acted like he has hurt her in any of those episodes, and this time wasn't any different. It was so obviously play.
Now I just need to convince that darn cat to keep his claws retracted when he plays with me!
