Angelo has been getting more and more active in the last few weeks / months.
He’s been sick for a while, some sort of intestinal thing, and I think the steroids he’s been taking for months have finally built up enough in his system that he thinks he’s a “He-Kitty” and thus Master of the Universe. Or at least the apartment.
Angelo will now stare us down if we are in his spot (any corner of the couch or bed) and makes sure he flashes you his butt as he turns around in front of you. He also bats at thinks, and goes crazy several times a day clawing at furniture. Sadly I don’t think he knows he doesn’t have front claws.
And of course, his new best friend is Skunky. Skunky is a squeaky toy shaped like a skunk (obviously). And every time he is touched he squeaks loudly. I’ve woken up to find Angelo batting him around at 2am at several occasions. I also knew he played with skunky because I will consistently go to bed with skunky out in the living room and wake up to find skunky at the foot of the bed.
Saturday I got to see Angelo and Skunky in action. It was awe inspiring. Here’s my 13 year old kitty being all rough and tumble with Skunky.
You go Angelo.
