I don't get it. Our cat, Caillou, is this big, lazy, grumpy old curmudgeon who never does anything more exciting than roll over. But every time Summer sees him she goes ape-shit! She jumps and kicks and squeals in delight! Over NOTHING! Recently she started reaching for him saying "Hitty! Hitty! Hitty!" in this sort of excited, awestruck whisper. I do not get it. He just lays there. He doesn't scamper about, he doesn't chase balls of yarn, he's like, 13 years old...he might as well be one of the couch cushions.
At approximately 2:30pm each day, the cat decides it is supper time and he rises from his spot on the back of the couch to demand that I feed him. This is like the most exciting event in Summer's day becuase the cat is actually moving around and lets out the occasional disgruntled "meow". This sends her into spasms of sbsolute ecstasy. In fact, I try to make a point of putting her in the exersaucer at this time of day so she can watch the cat walk around being grumpy and jump around like a crazy person.
It is currently 2:25pm and this exact scenario has been going on for about 10 minutes. The cat is sitting at my feet as I type, meowing angrily at me, and Summer is screaming and jumping and reachng for him. HILARIOUS! She does not react this way to any of her cool toys that talk, sing, buzz, jump, pop, light up, or all of the above. ONLY the cat does this to her. I do not get it.
