Mommy Here:

I just had to tell you what happened last evening.  I asked Katie first if it was OK to do so.  She agreed.

Last evening an hour from bedtime, I was sitting with my iPhone in my hand getting ready to check email, but the password would have had to be entered to use it.  Then, I would have to swipe through and find the camera icon, and then I would have to find the photo app out of all the others such as video, etc.  Why worry about that?  Because of what happened.

Kitties and woofies and mom's,  I glanced up in time to see Katie come out of the kitchen standing fully upright  ON HER BACK FEET!  Hopping toward me!  With her arms spread as wide as they could go.  She truly hopped about three feet.  Right toward me, arms still outspread.  Her eyes were like, half dollar sized and she was looking right at me.

At first I was startled as I wondered if was she mad at me.  Then I immediately started laughing.  She finally lowered herself down to begin hopping on all four feet sideways across the room and back with her back arched all the way up with her eyes still as wide as half dollars, head turned toward me looking straight at me.  I laughed more.  She got down and attacked her tunnel and all arched up, she went at her paper bag.  I got a wand toy and she fought that bag like the warrior Queen she is.

ALL this and not a picture to show.  You know how they are.  You aim and they quit because these shows only last a few seconds each.  I had to call Mariodacat and tell him.  Right after I hung up she started again!  Who would ever have thought she would do that again?

OK Katie, thank you for letting me take over this once.  XXXOOO and treats are coming out for you as soon as I hit send...just as I said they would.

Katie, that must have been pretty awesome to see. Too bad your human wasn't able to get a pic or video! We need a repeat performance, of course!

Brian's Home Blog said...

Oh we would have loved to have seen that one!

SailorEdgar said...

I'll bet Katie did that as a special performance just for her Mom!

ANGEL ABBYGRACE said...

What a wonderful experience! Oh Katie you are too special. (hugs) Sweet girl.

CATachresis said...

Oh Katie, you are indeed totes amazeballs!!! Perhaps you could warn Mom next time, eh!! She needs about half an hour to set everything up, get the lighting right etc!! MOLMOL

Terri said...

We don't understand why kitties do the best stuff when their humans can't capture it!

Angel Simba said...

Oh, Katie, I believe every word your Mommy has written, but I also SO wish she had managed to catch a picture of some of it. You are such a funny bunny!

Clarissa said...

What a show you put on for your meowmie, Katie!!! Mom hasn't seen any of us hop on our hide legs. She said it has been a very long time since she has seen us do the "Halloween cat" pose (arched back, hoping sideways) either. However, she did see 11 year old Serendipity chasing her own tail yesterday!

The Whiskeratti said...

Oh, for a picture of that.. even better, video! That must have been a pawsome show.

BeadedTail said...

Katie, you are just so cute in everything you do that you even have our mommy wrapped around your paw! We wish we could've seen a picture of you doing that but it was nice of you to let your mom tell us anyway!

Mariodacat said...

Oh sweetie, you are just too too funny! M was laughing hysterically when your mom called. She could hear your mom go screeching and hollering yelling "there she goes again - hopping on her hind legs" They were laughing so hard. We too just wish somehow a picture could be taken of you doing that.

Photo Cache said...

Oh that would have been wonderful to see. You go Katie.

Katie, this just confirms what I have always thought - that you are really a kitten at heart and always will be!

Saku said...

Funny Katie! That must have been a very funny sight for you mom to see. Maybe next time you'll let mom take a picture or two!

Andrea and the Celestial Kitties said...

OH my gosh! I would have been squeegeeing so much it would have scared her to death! MOL How cute! Katie must have been in a particularly playful mood! Wish I could have seen it!
My three are always cutest when the camera is out of range!

Kwee Cats and Art said...

Oh! We wish we could have seen that! Katie, great job freaking out your Mom! You just gotta do that every so often - keeps them young and on their toes. Excellent job, your Mom will live longer for it.
Hugs!

Sounds like you put on a first class performance for your mum Katie.

Cats Herd You said...

Oh, Katie, you're too funny! We always stop doing things whenever the camera comes out, too. For whatever it's worth, newer iPhone operating systems (the past few years) have a camera icon on he lock screen. You can touch the camera icon on the lock screen and swipe up to go directly to taking photos. This can be disabled somewhere in settings, so if it's missing and you want it, let us know, and we'll get the head peep to find you more information. Hopefully this will help you capture more Katie goodness!

Laila and Angel Minchie said...

Encore, Katie! We need to see that on video! MOL!

Marg said...

Katie, so glad to hear that you are feeling so frisky. Well done. Bet that was great fun for the Mom. You all have a great evening.

Mickey's Musings said...

Well Katie, you are full of surprises aren't you?
That must have been a sight to see. Glad you made your Mom laugh :)

Purrs Georgia and Julie,

Tamago said...

OMC Katie san! I would love to see when you do that again! Reading what your mom wrote and imagining how you were hopping on your back feet made me laugh :-)
I usually swipe up camera icon on the right bottom corner of iPhone's screen, which brings camera up without password and has helped me capture some good moments. Still, I've missed a lot of moments, too!

Ivan from WMD said...

Katie, it sounds like you had your mom on HER toes too!

The Island Cats said...

Katie, you are quite the character. And that's why we love you.

Cathy Keisha said...

Holy moly! Hopping on 2 feet. TW would have panicky that my front paws were broken. She loves when I hop sideways with my back arched but only during the day when she can see me and knows I won’t attack her.

BTW, I don’t care for the Gravy Lovers’ FF but like the grilled liver and chicken feast.

GLOGIRLY said...

Oh my Katie!!!
That is AWESOME!!!
We're going to be thinking about your hopping all night long!!!
hehe!

xo

Lone Star Cats said...

Katie, ya need to do dat one again so it can be videotaped!

Seeking Serenity said...

hahaahahaaaa!!!! oh MAN i cannot imagine that!!!

dellgirl said...

Just like a little kid, so so cute. I sure wish I could have gotten a glimpse of that. Kitties do the darndest things, just like kids. KatieGirl, you are such a sweet character.

Clooney said...

Wow, that must have been a sight for sure! Why Miss Katie Isabella you are such a fascinating & precious being... you truly are!

Donna said...

Awesome! U can fly!

Anonymous said...

WOW! My goodness....what a show you gave your Mom last night Katie! Guess you were really "feeling your oats" and just had to dance to show your Mom how happy you were! Good for you.....I know she loved every second of that dance and the fun that came afterwards! WOOT!

Hugs, Sammy

Cat and DOG Chat With Caren said...

OMC that is hilarious! Maybe she is preparing for Easter? MOL!!! Isn't it always like that, they do something great and that is the one time we don't have our phones/cameras ready to go? I think they know that BEFORE they do something cute or hilarious! xoxo

pilch92 said...

That sounds so cute- I would love to have seen a video. Maybe you will get one eventually.

Shaggy and Scout said...

Oh my goodness!!!!!! What a sight!

Anonymous said...

What fun! This was the best gift to give Mom! We love when the cats dance! Thanks for your prayers and purrs. We appreciate them...and you two. ~xoxo~

Jo-Anne's Ramblings Aussie Jo said...

What a sight to see, it would have been cool if you had a camera that you could have quickly taken a photo but as is often the case when things like this happen by the time you have the camera ready the moment has passed

Gigi said...

Purrsonally, I think that sounds pretty scary. Don't you come hoppity-hop-hopping like that at ME, Missy! Your Mommy might think it is funny and cute, but I think I might have run screaming for my Human. You aren't possessed or anyfing, are you, darling?? You aren't gonna do a 360 with your furry little head, are you?

Anonymous said...

A clear case of FRAP! It happens ta us too an TBT seldom has the flashie at hand, Thank Bast!

Just Mags said...

What fun that must have been watching sweet Katie enjoying herself. It would have made a super video, maybe another time you will be able to capture her doing it again. Hugs and nose kisses

Unknown said...

Katie, that was way cool! BUT, now my Mommy wants mes to walks on my back legs! Tee Hee!
Mes loves yous lots!
Kisses (and to Mommy too)

Seville at Nerissa's Life said...

Oh gosh, Katie... You've just GOTTA do that again and let your mum catch it on film. YOU'LL BE A STAR!!! Well, an even bigger star than you already are 'cause you already are a star, for sure.

Purrs,
Nissy

meowmeowmans said...

OMC, that must have been some sight to see! Mommy Carole, you'll have that wonderful memory to delight you for the rest of your days. Thank you for sharing -- your description was fantastic.

Katie - you are one talented kitty, for sure! Beautiful, too. :)

Hugs!

Kitties Blue said...

Astrid does some weird moves like that when she is zooming. We have no photos or video either. You don't want to stop looking long enough to grab whatever you need to record it. Way to go Katie! XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth snd Calista Jo

Kjelle Bus aka Charlie Rascal said...

Must have been pawsome to see !
For once I think it´s to bad your mom-person hadn´t the flashbox ready :)

XOXO

Marty the Manx said...

We are so glad that Miss Katie feels good enough to want to play full force like that! She was in full fun hunt mode! Love how she includes you so much in her play!
