If you think that's funny...you should see what happens to a cat that grew
up on marble floors the first time he tries a corner on a carpet.  Junior
put on the front brakes and figured the back would slide around...but his
front claws caught in the carpet and his back end went OVER the front and he
ended up on his back with his front claws still in the carpet over his
head...with a very stupid expression on his face as he tried to figure out
exactly what happened.

Then again, there was the games of tag that Junior (an 18 lb Italian Barn
cat) used to play with mom's dachshund, Spunkers.  They would start at one
end of the house...one chasing the other down the hall to the other end of
the house, where the dog would go under mom's bed, the cat over, and switch
places going back the other way.  One time Junior decided Spunkers was going
too slow...so he sped up and leapt over the dog and kept going...Tag!
You're it!  Dad said he wished he had a video camera...because it would
surely have won him a chunk of money on America's Funniest Home Videos.
