Wild Cat Antics

by Danielle Hurley

     I have four cats, but two are wild. Their names are Shere Khan and Queen Cleopatra. Shere Khan is a bengal and Queen Cleopatra is a Savanna. Bengals and savannas are exotic breeds of cats. They are a certain level of wildness depending on what F they are, for example Queen Cleopatra is an F3, which means she is three generations from an actual wild cat. A Savanna is a descendant of a Serval, and the Bengal is from an Asian leopard cat (alc). They have a ton of silly antics that I will post throughout the year, and hopefully you will enjoy them.
     So first is Queen Cleopatra, she steals straws; she will walk right up and snag it. Sometimes you look at her and see her cleaning a paw or something innocent, and the second you look away she leaps up, grabs the straw, and takes off with it. Occasionally, she knocks the whole cup over in her attempts to get the glorious straws. She especially likes milkshake straws because they have sweet chocolate on the bottom.
     And now for one of Shere Khan’s antics; hiding on top of the curtains. He will claw his way up the curtain then walk right on top to a certain space and nap away. Sometimes, he will poke his head out the side or let a paw dangle. It’s quite cute and funny to just walk in the dining room and look up and he’s peeking out at you.
