Maybe a year ago, Jessa brought home a balloon for some reason. My cat attacks and chases imaginary things a couple times a day, so I thought she’d have fun if I tied the balloon string to her hind leg.
Oh, was I wrong.
She completely freaked out and starting tearing around the house. Completely freaked out. She couldn’t stop moving. She ran behind the couch and pulled the balloon after her. The balloon popped and I think that set her off even more. She eventually calmed down but acted weird for the rest of the day.
It was Jessa’s birthday a couple days ago, so I brought her a big ‘happy birthday’ balloon when I picked her up from school. When she walked in the door with the balloon, the cat took one look at the balloon and ran into the bedroom and dove underneath our bed. When she came out to eat, she’d take a few bites, then look around for the balloon so she could make sure that it wasn’t sneaking up on her.
Poor kitty girl. I know now not to bring any more balloons of kitty doom into the house!
