cats + bags= heart attacks for mommies and daddies

[heatherlynn22]

does anyone elses fur babies have a thing for paper bags or gifts bags?

yesterday was the boys birthday party and 90% of their gifts came in medium to enormous sized gift bags. so i'm being a slacker and left some of the gift bags on the floor....the kids like to play with them. well...venus has started to play IN them. earlier i was getting everybody ready for my bff's wedding reception and was not paying any attention to her. so she snuck into one of the big gift bags (it was laying on its side) so when i walked past she leaps out of it attacks my legs and runs back in. i think my neighbors up the road heard me scream "VENUS!!!!" so daddy comes downstairs to grab his white shorts out of the laundry room (we've learned our lesson about white pants and kids as well...they don't mix well) and he walks past THAT gift bag. guess who's inside waiting for her prey. if you guessed venus you guessed right. well eli is CRACKING up. he thinks it is hilarious that the cat is attacking everybody. greg gets close venus leaps out (not knowing it's him) is ABOUT to attack his leg when he does his daddy's voice of "VENUS" i swear she stops midair...sinks down to the ground does her "merow" and runs back into her bag. i had to bring one upstairs for her. well finish bringing it up. she was DRAGGING this HUGE gift back up the stairs...backward like a little dog. so i felt bad and brought it up for her. she's laying in it right now.

she's such an oddball

HAHAHA-  My cat Taz LOVES bags (coats, towels, blankets) of any kind.  He doesn't necessarily get into them, but he wants to lay on them.  Sometimes he will get into a bag and go to sleep, but it makes me too nervous because I don't want him to suffocate.  Guess I'm a paranoid mama.  He loves to get under the blanket if it's hanging off the bed or couch.  If he's "not visible"  or at least he thinks he is- usually the little butt and tail is hanging out. He also plays tumble tag with Lucy under the blankets- they pounce and run from each other.

see if you don't spend money on it they want it. if you do spend money on it...absolutely not!

My kitten Honey loves bags! I brought home a bag with some cat toys. She plays with the bag. Why????? I don't know!

My cats like to ride in the gift bags around the house. They like to THINK they are the gift and WE should be honored to have them with us. They LOVE to be inside any kind of bag.....seriously...

lol lynne. that would drive me crazy. luckily for me venus makes lots of noise. when she's in attack mode is when she's quiet.

lol perhaps annie just enjoys making her mommy go crazy. lol. she silently snickers to herself.

Annie was so bad about hiding and getting stuck inside absolutely everything and never making a peep, that she had to wear a beeper on her collar until she was about thirteen years old. Even so, she would send me off on one adventure after another, because she could kill the beeper by dunking it in her water bowl, and it didn't have a very big range to begin with. One time I was sure I had packed her up in a box that I had already mailed at the post office. I almost got arrested -- it was after 5pm and they were locked up already -- I banged on the door and screamed until a worker let me in and I pushed him to the floor and stormed in, found my package, and opened it with my keys. No, Annie wasn't inside it, she was at home underneath a cabinet that had only 1-1/2 inches floor clearance -- how she crammed her head under there, she has never revealed! And she was under there all day without a peep while we cried, tore the house apart, drove and walked all over the neighborhood, crawling through storm drains and under people's porches ... She's a black kitty, and anybody who has one, knows that they can MORPH themselves!

hahaha....oh man. cats....i'm telling ya. my threat to her now is "Venus if you don't stop i'm sending you to a chinese restaurant and your going to become kitty kabobs i swear!!" i usually get some back talk and an ankle bite and she runs away.

Snickers did this to me one day too......only i thought he had gotten outside.  I was in major panic mode looking for him, calling for him the whole nine yards.  I decided to back upstairs and walked into the bedroom and all of a sudden i felt something on my ankle.......here he was in a victorias secret bag.  He could of cared less that i was just about having a stroke looking for him!!!!!!!!!
