The Amazing Jumping Rainy

Rainy is obsessed with a piece of fluff that is floating on our ceiling. We have two fans that run at all times in the bedroom, and for the last couple days there's been a little piece of fluff that has been in just the perfect spot near the ceiling. It casts a shadow on the ceiling, and Rainy is obsessed with it. He is always on the bed meowing at it. Well, I was sitting on the bed tonight and out of nowhere he runs onto the bed and jumps all the way up to the ceiling. I am not exaggerating. He was maybe one or two inches away from touching the ceiling itself. He has always been a really good jumper, and he can easily jump to the top of our fairly tall dresser, but this was a pretty amazing feat.

Way to go Rainier!

Here is a funny, thought you might enjoy it.

An oldie, but a good laugh nonetheless.

Dear Dog & Cat...


The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food The other
dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in
the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming
your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the
slightest.


The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating
me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I
fall faster than you can run.


I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry
about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure
your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they
sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other
stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking
tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to
maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.


For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by
some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not
necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw
under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the
same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for
years--canine or feline attendance is not mandatory.


The proper order is kiss me, THEN go smell the other dog or cat's butt.
I cannot stress this enough!


To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our
front door:


Rules for Non-Pet Owners Who Visit and Like to Complain About Our Pets:


1. They live here. You don't.
2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture.
(That's why they call it "fur"niture.)
3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
4 To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who
is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.


Remember: Dogs and cats are better than kids because they: eat less,
don't ask for money all the time, are easier to train, usually come when
called, never drive your car, don't hang out with drug-using friends,
don't smoke or drink, don't worry about having to buy the latest
fashions, don't wear your clothes, don't need a gazillion dollars for
college, and if they get pregnant, you can sell their children.
