Jumping Bean

Our evening ritual, "jumping The Bean". To insure a good night's rest for all, it must be done. Otherwise, she's pacing on our pillows all night long.

Oh, Bean, you are so lovely and can visit me and pace on my pillow any time!

G said...

I love the fact Charlene is predictable enough that you were able to set up a stationery remote camera to capture the Beanie goodness.

Kitty said...

Look at The Bean being all active and stuff (lol).

You know, for a big girl, she's very light on her feet! :) How are those floor joists holding up, 'though?

Getting a little glimpse of this last week was wonderful. But this ~ oh this is fabulous!

lovin the new lay out very cute!

Laurel said...

Nice form, Charlene! >^..^<

Meg said...

I love that idea. Elvis gets a bit rowdy. I may have to try that.

Cynthia M. Suprenant said...

Hey Charlene, I didn't mean to imply that you were fat or anything like that. I mean, you're substantial, but more in an attractive, big-boned, curvaceous kind of way. No hard feelings, okay? ;)

I try it with Marbles, but she just watches the item land and looks at me like I an NUTS. Or she leaps at it about 15 seconds after it passes.

Lily said...

Well, she's just a health-conscious sort who insists on getting her cardio in each day. If you won't provide an opportunity, she has to come up with one herself... ;)

Cat Skyfire said...

Maybe you need to jump the bean some more, so she's less...'floofy'...

We have our evening rituals around our house, too, and if we don't follow the rituals EXACTLY ON TIME, we risk getting stared to death. Or swiped with claw as we walk by. Or--my personal favorite--swatted on the butt and yelled at by an angry kitty or two.

I am not even Butterbeans owner and I am offended by some of the comments about the kitty's weight -- she looks fine and she is very fluffy. She isn't excessively overweight.

Poofy tail is poofy! How'd I never notice that before?

Jean said...

Nice cataloons too.

that's really cute

Darin said...

Oh, Anonymous, don't worry about the comments. the regulars here love Miss Charlene a great deal - and any comments about her weight are meant lovingly. We know she has a propensity for kitten food. She is indeed very charmingly floofy. :-)

Milo and Alfie said...

Very cute. Mom and Dad encourage us to play in the evenings too ~ know we know why!

Catherine said...

Miss Charlene ~ so graceful and beautiful! That looks like a great nightly ritual to me!

Nini said...

So funny! I love how she comes back to the same precise spot each time... cats are like toddlers, they never get tired of their favorite games!

Here we have to exercize the four monsters before bed too, or it's a yowling fest all night... laser pointer and peacock feathers work wonders on rowdy kitties :) I wish they would jump like this though haha

Lynda said...

It's a bouncing Baby Bean!

Charlene puts me in mind of Maren, who is part Manx, and built very low to the ground. Some of Mare's nicknames are Wide Load, Tank (she looks like a propane tank w/legs) and Maraboom. To tell the truth, our little sweetie takes after me!

janna said...

I must be the only one who read the intro and thought YOU were going to be jumping over Charlene! The reality is much better!

Cynthia M. Suprenant said...

Hey, I'm sorry if I offended anyone with my teasing about Charlene and structural damage to the floor joists. I think she's just about perfect and she's just as God made her. I swear I wouldn't have teased if Charlene hadn't started it with her "I'm not fat, I'm floofy" campaign.

Thanks, Darin, for understanding what I meant.

My little kitty is, er, floofy, too. I affectionately refer to her as Behemoth Kitty. We all love the husky kitties, and their feelings are not hurt when we poke fun at them.

HubbleSpacePaws said...

Cynthia, I think most of us could tell your comment was just good natured joking! Don't worry about it! Gentle, kindly meant ribbing has been one of the fun things about this blog, to me anyway!!
:-) I have my own "Portly Prince," btw!

Laurie Cinotto said...

We're not offended. And truly, she's a completely healthy weight.
