Poor Muggles. Last night we slowly realized our cat was running in circles after the sound of running feet did not seem to go anywhere in particular. He was chasing his big Maine Coon tail... how cute! And funny - so we were laughing, but then realizing... he isn't stopping!

Circle circle circle circle circle circle circle... this is weird. I don't think this is him having fun any longer...

So we go over to the (weird) boy, and take a closer look - there is a small price tag sticker stuck to that big fluffy tail! And he is STILL going around in tight circles, refusing to stop! So we of course grab him (he is still trying to go in circles) and Pete pulls the sticker off. Then we noticed a bit of drool down his mouth... we think he must have been very dizzy after all those tight circles. Poor boy!! (we clean him up)

Now Muggles ain't so bright... but... what if we weren't home? Would he have ran chasing his tail for hours until he fell over? What would he have done? Do we have to cat proof price tags now (not that we leave them laying around... but the stray one gets left around I guess)?

I must say, it was funny in a sad sad way... poor Muggles. I wish he was a tad brighter.
