Thompson was lying peacefully on the floor cleaning himself. Suddenly he leaped about a mile in the air. This may qualify as normal behavior for Theo, but I'd never seen Thompson act that way before. I took a closer look and sure enough there was a huge ant crawling up his leg. He was able to shake it off and then trap it with his front paw. The difference between Thompson and Theo? The ants attacking Theo are usually imaginary (as far as I can tell)...

Did you come down off the ceiling yet, Thompson?
ReplyDeleteWhoa! An ant on my pantleg would make me leap, too!
ReplyDeleteThompson, we hope you had the opportunity to give that ant a swat for scaring you like that!
