If I was in Scotland and I heard that, I'd assume someone was talking to their child!

When I lived in Indiana there was a gal whose cat would bound out through the snowdrifts to its favorite stump, where it would excavate just enough snow to be able to plop down and observe "her" several-acre wood. One day it went out just as snowfall was starting and stayed there over an hour, with the result that snow falling along the edges of the 'cliff' surrounding it caught and extended the snow until the cat was sitting in a little cave.

Gimme the damn bread!

That first cat with that fur and white patch and ears. Just handsome and gorgeous.

I love this one because the neighbors of some friends had a glass coffee table, and one day my friends' cats decided to go visit. The neighbors' cat was dozing on the coffee table and my friends' cats didn't noticed it until they walked under the coffee table. I don't know which cat 'struck' first, but it was hilarious watching two cats slapping at the glass from below and one slapping at it from above. That went on almost a full minute until one of my friends' cats saw a tail sticking over the edge of the coffee table and attacked it directly, no longer through the glass. What ensued we called a "catsplosion": briefly there were two cats on top of the coffee table who rolled off and then the third cat pounced. It was a "fur flying everywhere" situation for a few seconds then seemingly in coordination they split up at the same moment and ran to different spots in the living room high up on furniture all watching each other.

Cats on opposite sides of a sliding glass door are also fun but they don't go sliding around like on a horizontal glass surface!

Though this image also reminds me of once in Indiana when the lake was frozen. A gal's cat was wandering through the snow near the lake and someone tossed a ball cat toy past it a little too hard: it went out onto the ice, followed by the cat who went sliding, spinning as it went. It was funny at first but the poor cat couldn't get purchase on the ice until it slowed down enough -- leaving a trail of claw marks behind. Once it was almost totally stopped it ventured one paw at a time and discovered that so long as it kept going slow it could walk on ice just fine, so it went out and retrieved the ball and then came back almost strutting. Once at the shore it followed its own meandering trail backed through the snow back to the cottage where, once inside, it went to the lounge fireplace, hopped up on the hearth and began meowing its demand for a fire.
Oh -- it refused to surrender that toy the rest of the day.
