Ambush

Psst! Psst! Fin here. I'm lying in wait for my prey. I have the perfect vantage point in the L-shaped hallway. I hear Mom futzing about in the laundry room. It can only be a matter of time before she strolls by... and yes, I would be shocked if she was actually doing laundry.

It's giving me time to plan my attack. A little something I like to call a granny ambush. I run straight in front of her lumbering feet and race into the bedroom at full granny speed. If I can score with a direct hit on the shin or foot so much the better. I love the startled squeal I get.

I hope she chases me back. Playing chase with Mom gives new meaning to the cat game of "Thundering Herds of Elephants" if you catch my drift. MOL

Oh! I hear her coming, wish me luck!

    Fin, we love being chased, too...as long as it's not by Crazypants Maui.

  2. I usually play THoE by myself. I'm too nervous that my human is going to trip and fall on me! And Binga plays THoE for keeps, if you catch my drift.

  5. Oooooh! Fin! Austin plays a similar game called thundering herd of buffalo (would be wildebeest, except he can't spell it!). It's such fun. Let us know the outcome ... for our records? :)

  13. Oh Fin, lots of luck to you in your game of THoE. We can't do that with our Mom, she would just fall down and then what we do for food. Guess we could push the cans under her hands and get her to open them while she is lying on the floor. Keep us update Fin.

  14. Oh THoE... I know it well. Usually the game is played by Darcy and Sookie at, ooh, 2 or 3 am: up the stairs, jump on the bed, under the bed, down the stairs and repeat!!
