And I’ll use the cube…been awhile since I’ve been in here!!

 

Island Cats’ Mom here:  Yep, these boys sure keep me guessing.  They haven’t used their hammick much since getting it almost a year ago nor have they showed much interest in the cube.  I was thinking about putting the hammick and cube away since they weren’t being used.  But the other day, low and behold, there was Ernie in the hammick and Wally in the cube!  And then a little later that day, I found Wally sleeping in the hammick!  I haven’t seen him in the hammick since the first day I got it!!  I swear, they conspire to do this stuff just to get me!!

    Don’t you know that we cats can read your mind? Don’t ever think that you can outsmart us!

    Our momma says that cats are like little kids – they don’t want something until they can’t find it and momma thinks that you’s kitties can read you’s momma’s mind an’ like to trick her☺

  4. Madi and Mom Says:

    First I (mom) love you window seat. If I had one of those I’d sit there all day with a book and a cup of coffee.

    What a cute post and I can certainly identify with it. What is it about kitties revisiting things they haven’ touched in years. Madi is the same way. I’m of the opinion they can read our minds? SCARY!!! Thanks for the smile.

  6. Goldie Says:

    Got to keep them on their toes! They lead waaaaay too boring lives, these beans!

  7. Laila and Minchie Says:

    It’s totally useless for Moms to try to out guess us. hehehe!

  8. The Kitty Krew Says:

    Bwahahahahaha — way to go, boys! It’s good to keep momma guessing. We do the same, every time The Mommy is thinking of putting a toy away in the toy box, we start playing with it again, so she decides against it. Then we don’t touch it again for weeks. MOL

    Purrs and hugs,
    The Kitty Krew

    PS – we’re glad you liked our “island” posting yesterday! :D

  9. Whimpurr Says:

    Sounds about right! :o )

  10. Cory Says:

    Ah yes, the mindreading trick! Works well boys. I bet the second she had a thought in her head about putting those prizes away, you were totally on to it!

    Nice work.

  11. The Kool~Kittie~Krew Says:

    WTG on makin’ yer mommy go nutty, guys!!! MOL and LOL!!! Those hammicks are super cute! And, our mom LOVES the window bench you have! Have a GRRR-8 day!

  12. Iris Says:

    Isn’t it fun to confuse our Moms? We like your cube and your hammick. We think we would both lay in it at the same time and it would break because we are big cats.

  13. Sam and Andy Says:

    It’s an unwritten law that we have to keep our beans guessing!!!!!!!!

  14. Cheysuli Says:

  15. Lizzie and Connor Says:

    That’s what’s written in the Cat Handbook–always keep the humans on their toes!

  18. Katie (Glogirly's smart and good looking cat) Says:

    Of course!!!
    That’s what all the smart cats do, keep you guessing.
    It’s in the manual on page 1 right next to “sleep only on CLEAN laundry.”

  19. FourCrazyCats Says:

    You guys were lucky…looks like you were close to losing those valuable sleeping spots. Better keep rotating around, so you can keep your stuff!

  20. Sniffie and the Florida Furkids Says:

    Great job! Never let Mom get too sure of herself!!!

  21. Lisa Co9T Says:

    Ha! We try to keep our cats guessing by moving the neglected object to a different part of the room, or turning it around a different way. All of a sudden it’s something new and everyone wants to sniff it and check it out.
    We humans have tricks up our sleeves too…

  22. Cat with a Garden Says:

    Just today mom found Siena snoozing in a spot she never ever used before. You’re right, it’s great to drive them nuts.
    We just saw Ernie’s masked Monday picture, it’s great!

  23. Sakura Says:

  24. Angel and Kirby Says:

    We understand! Ours went crazy over the turbo track for a few days. Then nothing. Now Angel plays with it after 10 pm. ans sometimes at 3 AM!

  25. BeadedTail Says:

    It’s certainly best to keep the beans guessing, especially if they wanted to get rid of your hammock and cube!

  26. Mickey Says:

    Hahahahahaha!!! That IS a fun thing to do to Moms! They can’t figure out how we knew they were going to put something away,heehee!!
    Great job boys!

  29. Lisa, Jack, and Baby Says:

    Baby says: “I did that with a tree I had. I wasn’t in it for awhile, then I heard Mom talking about giving it away. I slept in it that very night!”

  32. Gracie Says:

    Is that the trick? Keep the mom guessing. I will have to try that sometime.
    The cube, I have one and love it so much. I spend a lot of time playing inside it.

  33. Tuck Says:

    Sounds like you two have a little Operation Chaos going! We like it.

  37. Hendrix Says:

    ha ha ha that is great! i used my hammock a lot and then didn’t for a while. mommy couldn’t figure out why. she moved it next to the blowy boxes (mom says the “vents”) and i love it. especially when it blows warm air

  38. Katz (And Other) Tales Says:

    “I was thinking about putting the hammick and cube away since they weren’t being used.” They heard you!

  39. Hendrix Says:

    PS have you guys had any luck with a communicator?

  40. Derby Says:

    hehehe, keep up the good work guys. Keep your mum guessing and on her toes.

  41. Fin Says:

    Excellent work!!

  42. Caspersmom Says:

    Yep, it seems like it takes them awhile before they use the stuff that is given to them. Took quite awhile before Casper would use his igloo. And it took awhile before Casper and Cleo would use the cat tree. They sure do keep you guessing.

  43. Rumblepurr Says:

    We LOVE to do this to our mummy too!! The second we hear her say to daddy that we don’t use something…

  44. Caspersmom Says:

    Ernie, loved your masked picture on Zoolatry.

  45. Cory Says:

    A very happy birthday to your mom!!!!!!!!

  47. Karen Jo Says:

    Way to go, boys! Always keep your humans guessing and confused. That way you get to keep all your stuff out. Happy Birthday, Island Cats Mom!

  48. Milo and Alfie Says:

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY Island cats’ Mom ~ have a wonderful day! We like to keep our Mom guessing too!

  49. Huffle Mawson Says:

    Good job boys. You make me proud.

  50. We love Luna Says:

    You know guys…sometimes I do the same here at my place. Sometimes I also forget my bed . I think your mommy don’t be worried about it. Anyway this story is funny !
    Take care sweet friends!
    purrs and love

  51. Forty Paws Says:

    Happy Birthday Mom!!!

    Glad they are using their hammick and tent again!!!

  52. Amy & The House of Cats Says:

    That is so funny – I am convinced cats have phases – like something, then ignore for a long time, then like it again. I am sure it will switch to ignore soon, and as soon as you think about putting the stuff away again they will be in it! Somehow they always know!
