The Bouncing Cat

Tweet

Under normal circumstances I would not find the idea of a real bouncing cat that funny. But my Cat Moochum who was a small lazy Chubby ball of furr used to barely fit around my neck spent most of his life wrapped around my neck comfortably as I wandered around out side when he was not living up to his name munching on some food somewhere. He when he rolled up was the size of a basketball and he was so lazy he even as a kitten would just glare at you when you tried to get him to play.... But one day Moochum decided he wanted to try to hunt... He obviously had a poor hunting choice... This was around mid summer. My Sandhill Crane and Geese friends would bring their babies into the yard and parade them around showing them off to me and my family as they have done for years... Third day they come.. Moochum starts to stalk a baby gosling... The Gander, Daddy Goose.. would grab him by his tail and pull him away from his baby.... This went on for 20 minutes.. then Mama goose wandered off with her babies... As the Gander goose picked up Moochum by his tail flew slowly up to 20 feet and dropped him... Moochum tucked and rolled and bounced around the yard... Then if Moochum was sleeping in the yard when they flew over The Gander around sometimes do it again and my English shepards would run up and bark at them.. and then cuddle with My Moochum who would often sleep on them as well. :) .. Moochum was never hurt from it sometimes he would jump out of trees rolls into a ball and bounce around. Yes, he is the same cat from the Mink Story :) ... Added to calm some nerves: The land Moochum bounced on was 4 feet tall marsh grass he was not injured I had tripped and bounced in that grass. very springy thick grass for those concerned :) .. He was fine, he was vet checked that day... By a horse vet that came out... she also would help me with my cats... She did small animals as well as horses.
