From My Hiding Places

Silly Lilly

We are NOT old cats and certainly Takoda Crow is still a kitten and still playful and loves to climb the drapes and to play chase and hide 'n seek, but Lilly is even driving him crazy. She is like a monster when the room door is closed and tied shut not so hard shut that we couldn't get out if we wanted but she goes into a major catniption fit panic and starts rattling the door and mreowing and yowling and cat howling and cauterwauling until she gets that door open or someone comes to check on her. She is driving us crazy, just straight up the wall and we have tried giving her a good bat of the paw but that doesn't work and makes it worse and then she chases us around the room yowling and cat crying like she might be dying and trying to rub up against us and lay across us. Claustrophobic cat and not the first one I've met but a very bad case indeed. Rob accidentally grabbed Leah our friend and family cat or so he says. Crow and I have our doubts and think that Lilly was driving him so crazy that he needed a day or two vacation from her and that he accidentally on purpose left her here and then accidentally on purpose took Leah home with him instead of Lilly the lunatic. She is a silly little girl cat, just zoooooming around the room at high speed and turning on the walls by putting her paw up and bouncing off of them in an accurate depiction of bouncing off the walls. Spastic. Know she is a kitten and a recovering feral but oh how can a cat take a nap, have some relaxing time watching the birds with Lilly around? She has to yowl howl at the birds too and scratch at the glass and sometimes lick the glass because she wants to catch and eat one so badly. She also got us into trouble because Mel thought we pooped on the bed when Lilly did it, thought that we didn't like the canned cat food and turned over the food container and took our paws and smeared it all over the sheet on the bed. No, we did NOT! She also thought Morse pooped on his bed but no, the door was open for awhile and Lilly got in so she pooped there too. Our fault in part, though. Sigh. Lilly lacks the skills a Mother cat could have given her and she does not cover anything when she uses the litter box which makes us quite angry with her and we have swatted her. She is a know it all little kitten older kitten too and so ignores our attempts to show her how to use the litter box and cover it. She uses it but likes to go against the edge and not cover it. She's not a crazy cat really, just a wild kitten trying to become a domestic indoors house cat and going totally wild in the process. Most energetic kitten I have seen in awhile too and I thought BabyCat was spastic and energetic until I met Lilly!
