In addition to the feline-canine frolicking that triggered the phenomenon described in this podcast, Bamboo has added yet another game to his repertoire.
I call this the Cleopatra Game because he grabs the edge of a rug with his claws, rolls himself up it it, and waits for the dogs to check it out. When they do, he growls and makes them jump. If they move closer, his paw snakes out and clobbers them. When I come along and unroll him in an attempt to reclaim the rug, occasionally he looks miffed. But more often he ignores me and saunters off as if he’s the coolest cat to ever walk the planet.
Sometimes I get the feeling that my response is as much of a part of his game as the dogs’. When he rolls himself up in the same or a different rug as soon as I’m not looking, I’m sure of it.
