Showdown

A couple months ago we bought this cat from Rawbean's Etsy shop for our new nephew. Rawbean came to visit and she brought the cat with her. Brad propped it in the window. Here it is.

So, Rawbean and I went out for dinner and while we were gone something mental happened.

Brad said that Ziggy was walking along, minding his own business and did a double-take when he saw the black cat in the window. He froze, then started stalking it.

This behavior went on forever. Long enough for Brad to get the camera and take a video. That's where these pictures come from.

There are two possibilities - like I said he thought it was a real cat, or the eyes were freaking him out. Ziggy has a 'thing' with eyes. Any type of googly eye is immediately ripped off a toy. There are a bunch of 'eyes' in the bottom of a little basket that holds his toy mice....

At any rate, he sat like this forever.

LOL Oh this is awesomely hilarious! So would you say the showdown was a draw?

You are right - Ziggy and my Rilo look a lot alike!

She's into rawbean's creations too. I bought some cats for baby friends, and rawbean threw in a couple of homies, and Rilo went through a phase where she attacked them.

Haha I totally remember that - wasn't ziggy sort of swinging his head from side to side?

I love the blurred buildings in the background behind the plush cat!

Christielli - Well, if it was a staring contest, the black cat won. When we gave this cat to our nephew, it turned out to be his favourite thing ever. Her stuff is such a hit!

Rawbean - HA! As I was blurring the building through the window I thought "Rawbean is totally going to notice this...."
Yeah, we had a little bit of a show but it got worse when we left. (Your fabulous new shoes are under the table!)
