CAT FANCY editor Susan Logan's cat Madison waits at home while Susan is away. |
When I unpacked my suitcase at the hotel this last week, I found a little present inside from my cat Madison. It’s the second trip in a row that I found her favorite toy in my suitcase.
Madison loves to play with my ponytailers. In fact, she can catch one when I toss it to her. She’ll sit on my bathroom vanity and wait for me to toss it to her and she will catch it with one paw, two paws and sometimes with her teeth. Then she’ll either toss it over her head and dive at it, or bat it back down to the floor and wait for me to toss it to her again. I’d love to get a photo or video of her doing this. It’s quite impressive.
Sometimes Madison will fish my ponytailers out of an open drawer and walk off with them. Needless to say, I find them all over the house. But the fact that I find one in my suitcase when I go on a trip makes me wonder if she’s telling me to have a good time while I’m away or to think of her. Not that I need to be prompted to think of my cats when I’m away from home; I can’t help but miss them. But I have to admit, when I find a ponytailer in my suitcase, it makes me smile.
