Thankful Thursday...on Friday

My Human says all of her felines have had very distinctive walks.  None of us has "sounded" like the other.  She could always tell who would appear in the room by the sound of their walk, except for "Girlfriend" who would appear like magic, silently. 

So, my Human is thankful for:

Doogie's Hop
(Doogie only had one back leg so she could hear his hippity-hop)
 Girlfriend's Gracefulness
(She was so light on her feet and walked silently)
Clooney's Strut
(She says I walk with a lot of purpose and swag and sound like a herd of little elephants)

Neytiri's "Ragdoll Shuffle"
(She drags her little feet and you can hear her "hairy" paws)

  1. this post could not be more true.

    i laugh because one of my step children were visiting one time and i remarked to a noise we heard, ' oh that was Stripes' and another time we heard a meow and i said 'that was lucky' . my stepson was amazed - he said 'you know them by their walks ! '

    and i said, well of course !


    loved your post. it is so true.

  4. Our Mom can tell us apart by our walk too! We have never heard the Ragdoll Shuffle, but it sounds cute!

    I hop like a bunny, Deli is very delicate and fast, Sweet Pea stomps because of her extra toes and Bella just slides along almost undetectable!

  8. Rag Doll Shuffle really made us laugh. We has carpeting all over, so no one hears me walk unless I take off on a zooming streak. Den I sound like an effelant or 10 kitties (I'm an only cat).

  9. My Sam is chortling over here. He said, "See, Mom? I'm not the only one that stomps through the house", sheesh, and there's carpet. I on the other hand am very dainty as a girl should be. Talk to the hand, Sam.
    We are sending nose licks and head bonks all around :)

  14. I always laugh when Cody comes running into the room. He is a small cat in stature but he thunders through a room like a little baby elephant! lol

  15. Aww, what a sweet post. Each kitty has a recognizable walk.

    Your cats are so beautiful.

    And you are so lucky to live with that handsome George!

    I just found your blog! Looks like a fun place.

  16. cats certainly do have very unique ways of walking. :) Fae walks very purposefully, kinda like the big cats you see on TV or at zoos. she also hops like a bunny sometimes. it's weird lol.

  17. It's really nice to meet you! Funny thing is, the quietest walker of all of us is me, and I weigh 18 pounds. 'Course I like to sneak up on the other kitties and scare/attack them. That's why I've got my own room!

  20. How cute. Target and Au are silent but Boris thunders like an elephant.

    Great news! Au ate some roast chicken and some salmon treats. Crossing fingers he's turned the corner. Thanks for your purrs. We're really hoping this is the start of the cure.
