Tin foil. From a cigarette pack. It's a cat toy. Been a ritual since it was a kitten. I'd tap the pack against the butt of my palm, strip the cellophane and crunch it and open the pack.
By the time it came to stripping of the foil there's a pair of eyes, somewhere close by, scrutinizing every move of my hands with a glittering intensity.
I throw it, she springs after it, bats it around for 2-3 minutes and loses interest. Been doin it for years. *yawn* It was 'cute', now it's just ritual. And, I gotta pick the little foil balls up all the time. They turn up in interesting places.. but I digress.
Back to the ritual. Tonight, she does the usual bit.. tenses up like a coil spring, launches after the foil ball while it's still airborne. The tin ball hits the floor; the cat lands.. stops and starts to give herself a freakin bath. As an afterthought she pauses, looks at the ball, then walks a few paces away, sits and stares at me.
'now, this is odd', thinks I and we stare at each other for a few long moments, and then it's my turn to get bored. I reach for the keyboard, and the moment I look away the cat expodes on the tin ball. Total side assault, ball goes flyin; cat goes rippin after it, does a full four paw wall spring with incredible precision to intercept a ricochet... at last the attack drifts on into the kitchen.
And then I had an epihany. Guile.. instant mood changes. demanding. unexplainable. unfathomable. and occasionaly possesed with instant tenacious ferocity... cats really are women in lil fur coats.

Now I'm convinced you're a lesbian.

Yup. That's what I tell all the other lesbians.

Try to pay attention to a cat and it will at best feign interest, at worst bite your hand. Ignore a cat and it will jump into your lap and stick it's butt in your face.
You may be right. :lol

Meooowwwww.

Most cats are still very good instinctive hunters.
If you watch her, she'll pretend like she's not paying attention to the tin foil. But you can see her eyes move over to it even though her head is looking the other way.

i think the cat was telling me something... the long stare, followed by the viscious attack on the foil the moment i broke eye contact.
i think i got my bellybutton kicked in effigy.
