Pearl and Ike are let out, first thing in the morning and the weather is still nice enough, to leave the solid door open. After a night's rest, both dogs are in a mood to romp and play. The cats sit at the screen or on the windowsills and taunt the dogs.
Pearl loves nothing better, than playing with Rowdy. She tries her best, to get Opie and Buddy to play with her but, they are having no part of that bumptious beast. Instead, they tease her, by sitting in windows and doorways. Pearl goes absolutely nuts, jumping, whining and bringing her toys, to try and entice the boy kitties to play. Naturally, Opie and Buddy sit there, with smug looks on their faces. They know that Pearl can't get into the house and they aren't about to go outside.
This morning, I guess that Rowdy had had enough of Pearl's antics. Pearl had been jumping and pawing at the screen and Rowdy ran behind the wood door and closed it, right in Pearl's face!
Buddy and Rowdy have a new way to tease Pearl. Shell sent us an assortment of cat toys. The fuzzy mousies are ignored but, the jingle and rattle balls are a hit. Rowdy and Buddy will bat them around, right by the screen door. Having cats playing, in such close proximity, drives Pearl crazy! SHE wants to play, too and can't get in. That's when she brings her toys, up to the screen door. The cats don't seem to be too interested in mangled tennis balls, knotted rope or an old coffee can, though.
Whatever I've spent on pet food, shots, litter, etc. is well worth it, just for the entertainment value, that I get from these crazy critters.
