I trust you all know what this is - when inclement weather would confine us kids to the cottage in Maine (such as a rainy or foggy week) cabin fever sets in. There are just so many jigsaw puzzles or monopoly games that can distract. After a day or two, you then go sort of crazy. In retrospect, I genuinely regret what my mother had to put up with.
In the case of my Sainted wife, she can hold out for, oh, an hour or so before going bonkers. What you might call a low cabin fever threshold.
What I didn't know is that cats get it, too. Confined to the house because of the frigid weather this week, Tiger the Wonder cat has developed his own form of cabin fever.
I don't think I have ever seen a cat run around the house as fast (well, he IS a Wonder cat). In addition, there is the jumping from piece of furniture to piece of furniture, jumping on top of the fridge and then back down again, waiting for me to make a sudden move and starting the whirlwind all over again.
It is great fun, but after about 15 minutes, he disappears - probably beaming back to his home planet to rejuvenate.
