Crazy Cat


About two years ago I inherited this crazy cat. Not that I knew at the time that she was crazy. I don't go around looking for mad moggies to adopt but Buffy came to live here anyway. She is a big girl (twice the size of my male cat) and not on the face of it friendly.
Buffy however does not seem to acknowledge her bulk or how it might impact on her catty ways. So the first time I saw this rather large feline sitting on the edge of the fish tank (it's a large tank)sipping fish water I knew I had one of those cats that value pleasure over safety. The last one of these I had used to regularly fall out of upstairs windows!So I guess we are going to have to get Buffy swimming lessons or water wings any suggestions gratefully recieved.
Buffy also never used to go outside which sort of was the reason she has always had a litter tray. Not the most pleasant of duties the emptying of the tray (but better that following your dog for miles with a tesco's carrier bag (second thought what happens dog owners when free bags finally disappear?)). She does now make the odd trip through the cat flap which is an exercise in itself. Most animals understand if you push with your head the flap opens. Not our Buffer she prizes it open inwards with a paw then drags herself out, but odd opening method aside, she then always rushes back in to use her tray (yes I know I could wean her off it but life is short guys).
She also sometimes sets up ambushes for Mr Tibbs the male cat and leaps on him from a great height but Tibbs like the smaller of most species always seems to have the last laugh and these eposodes end with a freantic chase up the stairs and Buffy not being seen until next feeding time.
