So I bought this cat bed at IKEA...

And now the kitten's convinced that she's being stalked by a giant big-eyed cat.

1. The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger

wouldn't go _anywhere_ near that. :scared:

We got his bed at IKEA, too. It's a rattan chest that sits, with his "lamby" on top of it, in a windowed corner of our bedroom. It's perfectly window height, and he _loves_ it. :hi:

4. Nope. There's a rattan ottoman in my studio

that Ginger has designated as his claw sharpening device. :rofl:

2. That's so cute!

Cats are so easy to mess with.

5. It does appear to be in pouncing mode

Maybe you should make some black tape eyelids so the kitten will think its sleeping.

6. The adult cats figured it out in nanoseconds

The kitten is either not mature enough or not smart enough to figure it out. She's a sweetie, but at six months old, I'm beginning to suspect she's not the brightest bulb in the chandelier.

7. I have an adult cat with a rather low IQ.

I play with the other cats by bouncing ping-pong balls towards them. They try to pounce on them, or smack them back to me. When I bounce one to Gabby, it bounces off her face. She's my sweetheart, though.:loveya:
