[ Sigdis, a chonky black cat with a white splotch on her chest, is flopped at her ease on a piece of plywood on the floor. One forepaw is stretched out. ]
In other words, Sigdis was being a pain in the BUTT, & Morgyn wanted a break, so they brought her over here & I put a hunk of plywood over the stairs down. Which she promptly laid on.
This lasted us a while, but inevitably she got bored. Which requires her to stand up. Which can take a minute, she’s a mighty chonker.
[ Sigdis, slightly blurry, in the process of standing up. Her mouth is open in a quiet meow. ]
Fortunately she is easily distracted by the prospect of Love, & came over as soon as I offered her some.
[ Sigdis, seen from directly above. She’s hunkered down on the carpet. My hand is visible, giving her a good scritch right on the scruff. ]
BUT THEN there was a CATNIP TOY
[ Sigdis is hunched over a catnip toy. I’m not sure what it’s supposed to be; it’s a yellow cylinder with green felt leaves. Yellow carrot? Naked pineapple? ]
So then she had to BEAT IT UP.
[ Sigdis has laid one gentle paw on the toy, and is leaning over it for a good sniff. ]
But enough violence for now!
[ Sigdis is sitting next to the toy, staring into space. Her brain cell is lonely. ]
Okay done now!
[ Sigdis is sauntering back to her spot on top of the plywood. ]
How smart is Sigdis?
She’s very pretty.
