...the name is Pie...Sneaky Pie

so...I took my camera into the bedroom to capture SPie going nutzo...
as I had previously described...
AND... she had just exhibited a desire to do again...

but of course..a prepared catstaffer, camera in hand...
gets NO feline cooperation...

but I did get a few "pieces of Pie"...

enjoy...



this is how I found her...upon my return with the camera...
after having been "ravaged" again by "tail purrr-suit"...



her pointy talons of cat vengence, sharp...
and at the ready...

so being basically, not one to let the hornet's nest alone...
I "roused" her... hoping for some antics...



with a look worth about 10,000 words of "cat-itude"...
she proceeded to yawn in my face[too blurry to use...]



then presented me with a perfect "calendar shot"...
but no action...until...
I realized that she was "fixed" on the camera's wrist band string...

of course all ensuing grabbing, swatting & biting were too blurry to use...
and by the time I regained enough control of the camera to switch to video...

she was on to this...



[experienced cat photographers will join me in saying...
"at least she's not washing her butt... or worse..."]

at this point, I left the room for a bit...
and returned to find...



"awwww"...so cute ...when she's asleep...

which is what I was planning to do, soon...

so I started to get undressed...



have I mentioned that she has a fetish for shoe strings ?

when I'm getting dressed...
she couldn't care less...
until I start to lace up my shoes...
then, there she is...



and the fascination doesn't end when they're off[or on...] either...
she often grabs them & unties them...
[those of you who know how "finger challenged" I am at the moment...
can imagine how much that is appreciated...]

she also attacks them after I take them off...
last night, I had to cover them with clothes...
THREE TIMES...
before she got bored and stopped digging for the strings...

CATS...

especially THAT one...

in the all-too true words of Miz Minka...
"what a loony cat !"

Every cat I've had has been shoelace-fixated. My husband is reduced to stuffing his shoelaces down inside his boots every night and covering them with his socks so they are not mangled. My last cat would chew the plastic tips off the laces, making it very hard to get them through all 10 eyelets of the boots. I stay with slip-ons. It's safer.
