Sassy cats — The bag

Gallery

Posted on April 12, 2019 by Kate Crimmins

My cats love bags. Here is Sasha in one.

Shortly after this, Gracie entered the same bag. There is no picture because it was a blur of a bag tumbling across the floor. There may have been a lively discussion going on inside the bag. Or a tussle. This is what it looked like when it was over.

It’s at a different position and not exactly in great condition. However, two cats were happy.

No one plays with my bag!

Here is Gracie with the battered bag. Happy as a clam.

All the bag kitties here wish you a great weekend!

  I’m working on a video of Sasha doing her “you are not feeding me fast enough dance.” It’s accompanied by a soprano trilling that I can’t describe. It’s way different than a trip to the vet serenade. Don’t hold her breath though.

Gotta love they can find so much entertainment with something as ordinary as a paper bag. Love it!

  Cats like the simple things. They don’t play with things that cost money. Of course that doesn’t count what I had to buy to get the bag! 🙂

That bag looked like it was a lot of fun a few moments ago. Maybe it was cozy and so a hit with the cats. And still looking like a cozy spot in the end 🙂

How funny! That bag is toast now! LOL! I wonder what persuaded Gracie to enter in. You have to wonder if she went in just to mess with Sasha’s enjoyment or actually thought the two could share the space. They are certainly entertaining! 🙂

  It surprised me too. They tussle sometimes as they are the youngest and still playful. I wouldn’t have expected Gracie to go in such a confined space with Sasha though.

Boy, that takes me back! We used to have one (Scooter – he was also one-eyed) who LOVED bags and being on or preferable in bags. And one of his house mates loved bags as well, but not as much as he loved tussling with Scooter. We had a lot of paper bag fragments around the house then 🙂

  I haven’t seen it happen again but you never know. The new bag is still there in good condition. Yes, I still find bits and pieces of the old bag.

  Something must have startled her. Maybe the bag tearing. Not sure what she expected. She slept on the new bag last night so she’s back in the game.

I don’t really have any bag kitties. Sophie (twice now) has gotten her head stuck in the handle loop on that same type of bag in your photos. She freaked out both times. Zipping, zooming around the house – bag in tow.

  They are simple creatures. Other than the cat tree and beds, they don’t play with things that are “bought.” Although keeping them in shopping bags requires shopping and that can get expensive!

  It was hysterical as the bag (and the cats inside) were rolling around the floor. I heard some snarks, some hisses and a yelp before it burst and cats came flying out. Would have made a great video. Unfortunately they don’t tell me when they are going to do something cute so I can be ready with the camera.
