Yes… I can say that I have indeed done this. Last night, even. See, my cat & I have this game we play. Ring Toss for me… Ring Fetch for her. I have a white plastic ring that I salvaged from some old curtains that has become my cat’s favorite toy. She’ll even bring it to bed with her… much to my wife’s & my chagrin. We’ve taken to hiding the ring at night to avoid the 7 am scurry on our bladders.
Anyway, last night, as Saulīte brought her ring back during a one of our nightly games… she had it turned up, so that the ring went above her nose, instead of hanging out of her mouth which usually gives her the ring-through-the-bull’s-nose look. With the ring encircling the top of her nose, she looked quite funny. I started laughing uncontrollably. My cat actually started to look around & then began backing up to the other side of the couch out of my sight. My wife exclaimed, “You embarrassed the cat!” She could still see her & she gave me the play by play. “She’s dropping the ring! Now, she’s picking it up the ‘correct’ way!” After correcting her apparent social blunder, she came back around the couch proudly strutting her bull-self. I laughed even harder.
I hope to get video of this soon.
