Hoop-La

July 6, 2015 By: Summer Samba49 Comments

I can feel her eyes staring at me

There I was, minding my business when I heard my human looking at me. What? You don’t think it’s possible to hear a human looking? Then you must not be a cat.

What?

My human occasionally gives me practice hoop jumps, and the last time she did, she left the hoop on my scratcher lounge. So what was I going to do? Shove it off? Sit there and complain about it until it got moved? These are the sort of things humans do, so no — I made use of it. We kitties are resourceful. I don’t know why my human thought it was a big enough deal that she had to take photos.

Maybe circles really do attract cats

Of course, the commotion she made attracted some unwanted attention.

Always wanting what some other kitty has

Sorry, but this is a one-kitty hoop. Sublets are not allowed.

    You’re right, no room for two in that hoop. Glad you made use of it, it looks rather comfy! Thank you for always joining in the Pet Parade and for being here on our 100th Anniversary! Always glad to have a famous kitty joining our humble parade.

    Hoops are sorta like boxes–except they are round. Still fun to sleep in though.

    Summer, we can hear our mom look at us too! and why do they always do it when we are sleeping?!?!? You know, though, you’ve got the cute factor going in spades the way you are curled up in the hoop. our mom would’ve gone for the flashy box too. and what is a photo shoot at your place without a Binga-bomb? 😀
