The Cat and the Crystal Figurine
Anyone who is a cat owner can appreciate the old adage “Curiosity Killed the Cat.” and the cat behavior known as “Cat and Mouse Games.” Our cat, Doc, was a ten month old male that displayed a very high degree of curiosity, sniffing and examining anything new that came into the house,
Doc loved playing with a stuffed cat toy. He would swat it across the floor and pounce on it, catch the toy in a claw and throw it into the air and bat it down. This is a cat behavior that became good practice for the real event – cat and mouse games. We saw him repeat this with a field mouse he caught in the side yard. Doc had a good time playing with the mouse, but I don’t think the mouse enjoyed the game.
One Saturday morning I saw a disaster about to take place. I was on a stepladder cleaning the outside dining room windows. When I looked in the window I saw Doc sitting on the dining room table, something we don’t allow. Since cleaning windows is not my favorite job, I decided not to climb down the ladder to go chase him off the table until I had finished the windows.
When I leaned to the side and glanced back into the room, Doc was pouncing all over the table, jumped to the sideboard and was swatting the wall. The behavior amused me for a few moments until I realized what was happening. My wife had left a crystal figurine on the table. When I leaned to the side I had moved from blocking the rays of the sun. Doc was trying to catch the reflections from the figurine.
I laughed at the spectacle until Doc jumped back to the table and gave the figurine a good swat.. My heart sank when Doc swatted the figurine again and it rolled off the table closely followed by Doc. I jumped off the ladder and raced into the house thinking I have to clean up the shards of glass before Doc cuts himself. My next thought was how angry my wife is going to be that Doc had broken her favorite figurine.
As I entered the dining room I saw clothes on the floor from a turned over laundry basket. Doc was swatting and pouncing his way into the living room. I caught up to him and rescued the figurine. Much to my surprise, the figurine was not broken, chipped or damaged in any way. It was one of those moments of great relief. Apparently the figurine fell into the laundry basket and then onto the rugged floor when Doc jumped down into the basket.
You can say that there is a moral to this story – whether out of curiosity or cat games, cats and crystal figurines don’t mix. If you have cats, even older cats, your crystal figurines should be placed in a cabinet for safety. Apparently, the sparkle in crystal that we enjoy and appreciate is also an attraction for cats.
The irony in the case of the cat and the crystal figurine is the figurine was my wife’s favorite crystal cat figurine. Of course that didn’t matter to Doc. He just saw the object as fun waiting to happen. Incidentally, the mouse eluded Doc and got away.
