Norbert likes pouncing on a freshly swept pile of kitty litter. Then she likes to run away thereby spreading it back across the livitchen.
Norbert likes to play high low. The point of high low is to choose things which are not yet on the floor, and push them onto the floor. These things include clocks, writing utensils, CDs, vitamin bottles, remotes - anything with a lower coefficient of friction than she has. High low is the reason my mouse pad is taped to my desk.
Norbert has trouble with transparent/translucent things. To reduce the meowing I've taken to putting a Tupperware bowl full of water in my bathroom sink and her water bottle has been relegated to the cupboard. With the bowl in the sink, when she splashes around in it all the water goes down the drain and not across the floor. But since it is in the sink she has to bend down quiet a bit to drink. So on Friday I was sitting on the toilet and I decided to hold the bowl up for her. She looked down at the bowl, and swiped a paw well underneath it. Then she lowered her face and took another swipe, still well above and below, respectively. 4 or 5 swipes later her paw was just as far away as it was from the beginning, but she'd gotten a snoot full of water. She snorted it out and started over. Swipe, lean, swipe, lean, swipe, lean, snort. After 3 more repeat performances I set the bowl back down for fear she might drown. I would hate to fill out her little headstone:
2005 - Later in 2005
She was cute and soft, but not very bright. Also, she was sharp. Very sharp. Literally, not mentally.
