The Cat Expresses His Views on Cards

A very short post today, as I try to put together the posts to do justice to a massive box that arrived earlier this week.

My cat Gus loves jumping on things and getting off the floor. He loves to climb on the vanities in the bathroom, on our cedar chest, on the chair next to my desk, on my desk -- you name it, he will climb up on it.

Here he is, for example, staring at me from the corner of my desk:

Recently, he's taken to jumping on my card sorting table in my office. Most of the time, he does a circuit past my cards that are sorted there and jumps right back down to the floor.  Other times, though, he just stays there for a while.

A couple of days ago, he jumped up on the table and took a seat.  As he did it, he started staring at some of the stacks of cards there.

No more than 10 seconds later, he took a swing at some cards and knocked a stack of them over.

The odd thing is that he only ever goes after one year's cards when he wants to knock cards over. It doesn't matter where the cards are on the table -- I've moved the stack around a few times.

He just (apparently) HATES 2014 cards.

It's like he's read the blogs and our complaints about them!
