Hi All, In late afternoon DH called up the stairs to ask if I was doing "kitty torture". I said no unless he meant by making a slow cooker stew so she's thought it was her dinner time for three hours! I went downstairs and saw she had something about 3/8" (1cm) wide around her middle. I looked closer and it was my 5" (12.5cm) embroidery hoop! I got it over her tummy towards her back end and started to ease it over her backside but she got away and couldn't move well with the thing on so I finally picked her up. DH came to help but by this time the cat was curled up like a cooked shrimp - and yowling too! It ended up that I held her lower so her back feet could just touch the floor and DH slid the embroidery hoop off. Whew!
Kitty torture is what we call play that might make her a little embarassed - like putting scotch tape on her nose (though we never do that <G>) but never mean or painful or humiliating! And I'm so careful to keep dangling things out of her way and close up plastic bags so she doesn't crawl in them. I really can't figure out how she got into the embroidery hoop! She does have cabin fever (inside too long) so she's getting too curious. I hope the temps. go higher so she can go out and expend her energies outside! Jane in Vermont, USA where I don't even want to look at the temperature. I didn't have to go out today so that was nice.
