My cat has learned a new trick. Well, it's not a new trick per se but simply a new variation to some old tricks.
One of the games she's played for a while is jump onto the shelf that holds my alarm clock and then from there, jump behind the book case and pretend she can't figure out how to get back out. Then, recently, I caught her on the bookcase in the kid's room. She was sitting there pulling books out by their bindings with her claws, and then when they had tilted far enough, grabbing them with her teeth and dumping them on the floor. I found it amusing at the time.
Yesterday morning I woke up at 6:00am to *Thump*Tump*RattleRattle*Thump*. It took me a moment to figure out that Imbri had done her morning routine of climbing behind the bookcase and THEN she discovered... BOOKS! Only these books weren't nice light paperback like she had played with the day before. These were heavy, hardbound books, so when she would try to slide them out by their spines, as soon as she would let go of them they would slide back into place with a nice satisfying *Thump*. Suddenly she wasn't so amusing anymore.
