More Cat Harrasment

Just a few more creative ways that Brianna has come up with to tease her poor kitty without really crossing the line into torture...

Bree's new thing is to jump OVER the cat. It makes him really nervous and unhappy (naturally) to be used as a hurdle. But, I haven't exactly figured out what to say about this one. "Please don't jump over your cat. He doesn't like it," maybe. But technically she's not doing anything to him so I dunno if I even have enough energy right now to start that arguement...

The other new creative cat game lately is to give him a "Dr. check." Bree got a Dr.'s bag for Christmas and her favorite patient is Bogart. She'll chase him down, hold him in place and use her stethescope to listen to his heart, she'll take his temperature, give him a fake "shot" and pretend band-aid even. None of which is that abusive to the cat (other then the holding him down part which is pretty mild) and is actually pretty darn amusing to any watching. But, there is one part that gets a little questionable at the very end...when for some reason (apparently to "make him better") Bree usually manages to use her little plastic tweezers to pluck a clump of hair out of Bogart's back. She always get's one good pinch of hair out before I can get over there and stop her, although I've never really heard the cat crying about it so maybe it's not a big deal. Still, better safe then sorry I say, probably best to discouraging pinching globs of hair from your cat. It's just not good pet etiquette.
