Sydney Kong

I was looking on my computer at a review of the new "King Kong" DVD that came out two weeks ago, and my cat was sitting in my lap staring at the screen with much interest. I think the picture of Kong standing astride the Empire State Building, desperately swinging at attacking airplanes, has inspired my cat Sydney to imitate Kong.

Guess what his new hobby is?



The darn cat has been using the railing on our back porch to leap on the house. I've caught him up there 3 different times. The first time he was scared to jump down on his own and I had to reach up and pull him down. Got a few scratches for that adventure. Now he's overcome his fear of heights and he just jumps down on his own.

I better not be around when I watch The Lion King. Next Thing I know he'll be wandering off to the woods, and instead of bringing home a warthog and a Meerkat, he'll bring home a groundhog and a chipmunk, then they'll attack me.
