Post by: elmore3003 on September 07, 2018, 04:24:28 AM: Annabelle's climbing landed her in real trouble last night. I turned off the lights around 10:30. I knew she andThatch would play until midnight, then go to sleep. She's been climbing a lot lately, and when I turned out the lights, I was sleeping directly under her landing spot when she jumps down.

Title: Re: THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF THE ANGRY PLAYWRIGHT
Post by: elmore3003 on September 07, 2018, 04:27:29 AM: In the past, she landed on me but last night she climbed up to a higher plateau, about 8 feet off the ground and jumped onto the bed, She and Thatch ran off to play. I dozed off. Around 11:20 a huge crash and a splash of cold water woke me.
Title: Re: THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF THE ANGRY PLAYWRIGHT
Post by: elmore3003 on September 07, 2018, 04:32:48 AM: I don't know when she climbed back up there, but she had moved further down the book shelves, and from the books on the floor I think she put her weight on the wrong spot, lost her balance and fell onto my nightstand =, bringing the books with her. The fall knocked the fan, and several books onto the floor and bed, along with my glass, about 1/4 filled with ice water. Nothing was water damaged, but Thatch's portion of my bed was wet. By the time he joined me, the sheet was mostly dry.
Title: Re: THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF THE ANGRY PLAYWRIGHT
Post by: elmore3003 on September 07, 2018, 04:37:00 AM: As soon as I turned on the lights to see what happened, she vanished. I cursed a lot, picked up the books, tried to determine exactly what happened, set everything up, and then tried to find Annabelle. When I did, I picked her up and held her, then checked her over for any signs of injury. She seemed to be okay, but for the first night in several weeks, she did not sleep on my bed. This morning, she seems rather subdued, so I'm a bit worried about her.
Title: Re: THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF THE ANGRY PLAYWRIGHT
Post by: elmore3003 on September 07, 2018, 04:43:17 AM: I picked her up, and she showed no signs of pain or discomfort. She also ate breakfast, so I hope she's fine. I do not want to return from City Center and find her dead.

The video that DR ELMORE posted yesterday was heart breaking.

It was something beyond heartbreaking. Sometimes I simply have to choose not to view or dwell on these things; the emotion is really beyond description.

BUT -- speaking "scientifically" -- I'd be very interested to know more about that specific situation, about the deceased owner's activities and the video itself. It's hard to believe that there's anything about a video playing on a cell phone for a cat to recognize or respond to. And yet, there's no other way to interpret what we see there. Well, like I said...it's beyond description.

Because of irritations and the incompetence of others, nothing I needed to finish today was done on time.

I needed a couple of hours to work on the dance I am in for SISTER ACT for rehearsal tomorrow....which I won't get to do....unless I do it when I get home from BAREFOOT IN THE PARK...which I probably will do so I'm not the ONLY person in the room tomorrow who doesn't KNOW the routine...

I've seen Thatch watch TV and react to things he sees, my brother Randy's dogs bark at dogs they see in the television. The cell phone picture should be no more different, and unless the voice were distorted, I'd think the cat recognized voice patterns and vocal rhythms. When I mention "treat," the cats know it, and I do believe they recognize certain words very clearly.

Post by: elmore3003 on September 07, 2018, 01:55:05 PM: Yep! Annabelle and Thatch know their names.

She fought me like hell whenever I got that syringe of water near a nostril. I did get some water up one of her nostrils and she sneezed and wheezed like crazy before she decided it was time to avoid me. If she's still not eating tomorrow and wheezing and struggling to clear her nose, I'll call the vet.

The general manager last night was struck in a hit-and-run. She's in the hospital, facing a number of surgeries.

Oh, no!

Title: Re: THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF THE ANGRY PLAYWRIGHT
Post by: TCB on September 07, 2018, 11:36:52 PM: So, why she wanted to go to the senior ball with me, I will never know.
Title: Re: THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF THE ANGRY PLAYWRIGHT
Post by: TCB on September 07, 2018, 11:38:29 PM: But she did. She got my friend, Bill, to convince me to ask her to the prom.
