Ming Loy looks just like any other kitty - until you see her walking or running. When she walks, her hips sway from side to side - enough that she often falls "bump" on her rump. When she's totally awake and playing, she'll just get right back up and keep going. Though it's kind of funny when she first wakes up and tries to stretch - she really can't arch her back without tumbling over. SHE doesn't know anything's wrong with her, though she will often lean against things for stabilization. Our legs, the cabinets, a chair - or the other kitties. The boys don't mind, and I'm sure they understand she's not "normal." And while Flowerbelle loves to play with her, she doesn't like being a leaning post. Spooky thinks Ming Loy is attacking her or something, but thankfully Ming Loy has learned basically just to avoid Spooky.

And MA - we and the kitties LOVE the space! Every once in a while Tuxedo will chase the heck out of Spook - but it happens infrequently. Perhaps it's just for "old times sake?" LOL! Every single one of them LOVES it when we bounce toys down the stairs - and we've learned how to throw them down there just right so they bounce into the living room. Our gang thinks there's nothing more fun that running down the stairs to chase whatever it is - though Tuxedo is fabulous at jumping to catch whatever it is.

Ming Loy and Flowerbelle both fetch, which is just the cutest thing in the world!!!!!

(And if we miss the RV, it's on a pad just outside the garage, so it's just a few steps away.....

Ooops - forgot to say - when she's tired and she flops over while walking, often she'll just stretch out and roll onto her back to wait for tummy rubs before getting up again. And when she runs, she's like a rabbit. She uses both back feet at the same time, and she launches herself up to four - five? - feet at a time. Now she has great control over where she's going. When she was younger, she didn't, which is why we had anything with a corner padded. We'd still have it padded if we needed it, but I must say, it's nice to not have bubble wrap, foam rubber and pillows EVERYWHERE, lol!
