Kitty Parkour


Since we live in The Un Named Flyover State, said state laying in the
northern tier of states, we have this particular meteorological
phenomenon, I believe the locals call it “winter”, every year.
The sky turns cloudy, the air gets cold, and generally the
sunbathing-and-picnicing-season, is over.

In order to moderate the percentage of my paycheck I must send off to
The Utility Company, TDW-Mark II and I place plastic film over our
windows. I am disappointed at the amount of billowing that this film
does, once we have “sealed” each window.

We have noted slices in this film, lately. Since our Cat Ranch has had
surgical removal of the front claws (what with me being a
anticoagulated geezer, that seemed prudent), we were puzzled at how
this transpired.

Until today. TDW observed that one of our cats, whose “spirit animal”
is Dart, had graced her with a display of Kitty Parkour, involving
sprinting about the house, a graceful leap over the couch, and a
springlike rebound from the (film covered) window, leading to another
dash to points unknown.

The film suffered in that encounter, subsequently demonstrating slices
identical to the last several repairs that we had effected.

A more definitive solution is as yet undetermined.





One thought on “Kitty Parkour

  1. One word, plastic, er, I mean kevlar.

    Bonus points to whoever knows the movie source of the original phrase.

    Mayhaps a white bedsheet over the window film? Kitty may find getting entangled rather than bouncing to be less fun.

    Good word-picture, BTW. I can definitely see the feline action.
