Mischief Monday - Stupid Ideas from The Internet - by Styxy

 hi friends, hi friends,

Besides hats, I think people should be banned from looking at stupid things on the internet.

Lady was scrolling along waiting for Man to make dinner and she came across videos of people setting a cucumber behind their cats and seeing the reaction. The cats were freaking out. 

So she made our dinner, and when we weren't looking she put a cucumber behind us.

Then we ate and she waited and waited and made so much video of us eating. 

Finally, I finished first and saw the cucumber. I did not freak out, but I very, very slowly walked around it and checked it out.

Here is a screen shot from that.


2 minutes later Grissie finished and she just walked right up to it and checked it out. She thought it was stupid and walked away.



We didn't have the reaction of other cats, but apparently it still amused our Lady (who clearly needs a life).

your pal Styxy the cautious

  3. You two are just a couple of cool cats that won't let a silly cucumber upset you.

    Yeaahhhhhhh.... maybe Lady needs to remember there are an awful lot of folk with too much time on their hands and they get busy on things called large language models... You proved to her that she ought not to believe everything she sees! Hugs and whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx

  6. People look at dumb things on the Internet because they can't afford the dumb things in newspapers.

  7. I don't like those videos where they scare cats. I am all for hats on cats though. :)

  8. I saw some of those videos. It's probably not the cucumber itself, it's the fact that anything suddenly appears behind a cat can spook it, they don't like being snuck up on.

  9. Mom would be nutty enough to pull that prank on me too, Styx, and I would probably eat the cuc!
