The kitten and I have a new game. It’s called peek – a – Pru. It works something like this, Pru crouches down behind something, the ottoman to the purple chair, a pillow on my bed, anything so she’s just out of sight. Then I say “Where’s Baby Kitty?” [I call her Baby Kitty a lot. I don’t know why. But the nickname has stuck] After I say that, I have to lean forward, until I just barely see her, and then POP into her line of vision with a gasp. “There she is! There’s Baby Kitty!” Then I lean back, out of her line of vision. She POPS her head up, eyes opened wide, then I gasp in surprise and say “Baby Kitty!” She hides again, and then the cycle starts over.
It may sound infantile, but it is the cutest thing, when her head pops up, and her eyes are practically round, and she’s on alert, ready to pounce, if need be. Trust me.
I call my cat Pretty Kitty…that’s actually her name. She was a stray and I just kept calling her Pretty Kitty and it stuck. She’s very playful but doesn’t like to be startled. I think she was abused before she found me. Is there any chance of us seeing photos or perhaps video of you playing Peek-a-Pru?
I called Joey “baby cat” throughout his entire 11 years.
my coworker’s cat is named “pussy galore.” bwahaaa! i need to meet pru. i need a kitty in my life… especially one who plays peek-a-pru.
I think it would be quite difficult for me to take a picture of the peek-a-pru game. I could probably get a picture of her peeking over something, but she’s fast. And she doesn’t like her picture taken.
We have another game that we play, mostly in the mornings, when she is ready for me to get up. It’s called Kitten on a Hot Plate.
