Round And Round The Futon, The Max Chased His Mama

Max's new favorite game is "chase", and he is the master of the flank attack. He will circle around the couch in pursuit, then change direction while hidden from his victim by the couch, so that every corner turned is fraught with peril. He is a tactical genius.

Look at that blood-thirsty grin! He knows there is no escape for us.

Observe his confident stride. Like a deer in headlights, we are powerless to even attempt flight.

Oh no! We've lost sight of him. He could be anywhere! Don't panic, that's the key. We'll just turn around and --

--AAAAARRRRGGGHHHH! My foot! My foot! He's got me! It's too late for me! Save yourselves!

Sora loves that game... oddly enough so does Gemini our cat.

Maybe he would like a furry partner!

Max will not doubt emerge as the next Great White Hunter or Sun Tsu.

Question: was Ian upset that you used the word 'couch'?

Actually, he hasn't said anything about it yet. Maybe the fact that I said 'futon' in bold print in the title threw him off the scent.

Sora and Gemini, I would be THRILLED to have a furry partner, provided that they have a flexible policy on tail/ear-pulling.
