Hoodlum kitty

[madbaker]

Some years ago, before they went back East, cynvirtue gave me a period-style sleeping coif. It's a hood made from grey polar fleece and has a black ribbon to tie under the chin. I still use it, on the (currently) infrequent times we camp SCA events and it's cold overnight. In the meantime, it's stored in the dresser with some of the other SCA underthings.

Well, Tuesday morning I was particularly bleary as I got dressed for work and I left the drawer open.

Galen investigated. "Something soft, fuzzy, and with strings attached! It must die!"

My wife found the coif on the ground, and started to pick it up.
He pounced and carried it off proudly, then started running away ("You're chasing me! My trophy!"). Picture the kitty carrying a hood half as long as he is, running around the house. My wife chasing him, alternately laughing hysterically and mildly cursing.

Yes, Max has a fake fur "tail" of some variety (basically a cone of fur with a ring on one end to hang it from)...not sure what it was originally intended for, but I saw it and it screamed "cat toy" at me.

It has been his wrestling buddy since he was small enough to trip on it as he carried it away, it being bigger than him and all. He has since developed the proper hold and trot so that he dousn't step on it as it trails along between his feet. Quite funny to see. (Even funnier to see him hugging it tightly while savaging it with his back feet and teeth, growling all the while!)
