My youngest cat is extremely playful. I had a runner coming in from the garage to the kitchen. She would roll herself up in this damn rug.Now, I have hardwood floors in my living room and the dining area of my kitchen where this rug is. My basement door is also off the dining area. Well, I had left the door to the basement open. She come running down the hallway, through the living room into the kitchen at full speed. She hit that runner (and I'm not exactly sure what she was thinking...) she twisted around. (now picture the old cartoons where the critter goes over the cliff and is still running...) The cat AND runner went DOWN the basement stairs like a freakin' flying carpet. I laughed until I cried, I wished I had my camcorder! the expression on her face was priceless. After that, she realized it wasn't so bad. I ended up getting rid of the rug because I got tired of dragging it back upstairs every day. I'm not home right now, but I'll have to upload pics of her playing hide and seek under the 7X9 area rug. She'd crawl under the rug then jump out at the dogs or she'd drag the rug down the hallway when I wasn't home. I keep wondering why I got anoter animal, must have been a weak moment or a moment of insanity LOL
