i always knew my cats were strange .. this morning it was confirmed
just a little background ..
sometime in august of last year my daughter got herself a hamster, with
his long hair, we decided his name would be Samson
when my niece came to live with
us for a few months at christmas, my sister was kind enough to offer to
keep the hamster with her .. he'd been driving my daughter crazy since
his cage was kept in her bedroom .. his nocturnal exercise had kept her
awake several nights
when we helped my sister move
saturday we brought Samson back home again .. deciding to keep his cage
in the living room to allow my daughter to sleep at night
this morning i woke early to
find 3 of our cats, sitting in the living room near the TV, all intent
on watching something together
as i walked into the living room,
turned on the light .. here comes Samson, walking calm as can be,
BETWEEN the cats on the living room floor .. at which time they lined up
behind him, all walking towards the dining room
it was the strangest parade i've ever seen !!
not knowing how long he'd been
roaming the living room or knowing exactly how long his luck would hold
out, i quickly decided against the idea of stopping to grab my camera
to take a picture, instead i scooped him up and turned to put him back
into his cage, surprised his cage remained perched on my daughters desk
intact .. the little door to his cage was latched firmly closed
the mystery remains as to how,
exactly, he managed to escape from his cage .. i seriously doubt he
stopped to latch the door shut after his escape .. doubting even more
seriously that the little guy had the strength to latch the door closed
why our cats were content to
watch him from a distance rather than pounce on him is another mystery
.. i'm sure the fact that he was walking slowly rather than running
contributes to the fact that he's still alive
as i'm typing this journal entry,
the 3 cats are sitting, waiting patiently beneath his cage .. i suppose
waiting for him to come out and play again
i have a feeling theres a life lesson in there somewhere
