The weird part is that the silly cat is at least 6 years old, and he just now started this crazy thing. I’m going to have to find a way to get him to find another way to let me know he wants out. And, I guess I’m gonna have to get the old water squirt bottle back into use, too. Swatting him makes no impression. He’s well-padded. LOL!

It’s just the way they are. They’ll ignore something for years, then suddenly it’s a plaything. LOL
It does sound like it’s time to break the squirt bottle back out. :-)

Walking around? That’s a change of pace. You usually have to chase him down. LOL
I reckon you’ll have chilly weather today, ahead of our chilly day Wed.
We wouldn’t mind if y’all just hang on to the cold for a while. :-)
