Let the cat into the bag

January 19th, 2010

Hikari has a new habit: sitting in bags.

I’ve seen cats do this before, but none so obsessively.  If I can’t find the cat, I just look for the nearest paper bag, and sure enough, there’s a cat in it.

I don’t think he’s hiding. He’s a bold cat, and he’ll take on all comers.  He tries to take me on, which I find hilarious. Yeah, I may be ten times his size, but he’s not going into that carrier or getting his claws clipped without a fight.

He sometimes uses it as an ambush point from which to spring out at the other cats, but I’d like to think that’s more opportunity than planning. He’s enough of a handful without employing any sort of devious tactics.

I guess it’s his space, the one place he doesn’t have to contend with any other cats or humans climbing in. That or he’s trying to build his secret base out of brown recycled paper and odd bits of cardboard from which to take over the world.
