I'm concerned about my human. She's becoming increasingly erratic. Lately she's been turning on a loud noise and moving her body in strange ways. When this happens, I immediately retreat to my safe place under the bed or the sofa so I can observe without the risk of being kicked or stepped on. I worry that she's sick or hurt or possibly even possessed... but she looks like she's having fun? What's going on? Should I be concerned?
Sincerely,
Cookie in Oakland
Dear Cookie,
It's so nice to hear that this is normal human conduct! The loud human in my house often exhibits this behavior. I've heard her refer to the limb flailing and erratic jumping as "dancing." At first, I was put off by it, and even a little frightened. However, the more I observed, the more I realized that she thoroughly enjoys thrashing about; it seems to cure her of bad moods. I've even tried to join her on occasion (from a safe distance, of course). Cats are much more coordinated and graceful than humans are, so I do so subtly, as not to upstage her and ruin her good mood.
My advice is to let your human embarrass herself. It will improve her mood, and she will be more likely to give you pets and stinky fish. Maybe even try to join in one day. I find that the humans' good moods can be contagious.
XOXO,
Bubbles
P.S. Cookie included a photo of her hiding space, which I included below.
