Mary is in love with Missy, our 15-year-old cat. On this morning, Mary was playing a funny sneak-up game on the hapless cat, who was patiently waiting by the kitchen door to the dining room so she could escape upstairs to sleep under the bed all day. Mary would stand flush against the front of the refrigerator, looking down at the floor (because if she's not looking at Missy, then Missy must not be able to see her). Then she'd shuffle her feet and squeeze around the corner of the refrigerator, always keeping her back flush to it and her eyes cast down. She'd get around the corner and then "surprise" the old cat.
Here I caught on film the end of Mary signing KITTY.
Amazingly, this very crotchety old cat has never scratched either of the kids.
