The Ballard Bunch at the Catlanta Catlympics
SMURGLING
Tally, recognizing her strengths, entered the Smurgling competition.
Here is the announcer's call of her performance:
Talisker Pippin sits quietly at the edge of the arena, gathering and
centering herself in the moments before she begins her routine.
And now the amazing Talisker Pippin prepares for her mount--she'll
be using her meowmie as smurgling target and they make a furry nice pair,
both extremely fluffy and soft. Talisker's meowmie lies down as if asleep,
and now Talisker makes a running leap, dropping...um...delicately (yeah!
thatza werd! "delicately") onna bed while the mattress bouncebouncebounces
from her four-feet-down landing. She's making a statement here, furry
early in her routine. She's furrry focussed.
Now she mooves to the hed of the bed, walking from her meowmie's feet
to her tummy to her shoulders, each foot leaving deep depressions in her
meowmie's body. Now she sticks her noze in her mewmie's ear, whuffles,
and -- yes! she purrrrs! It's those graceful little details that make her
presentation so appealing!
Now Talisker performs the standing-kneading skill, standing on all
four feets on her meowmie's tummy and chest, purrrrring in perfect rhythm
with her front feets, which are kneading up-an-down-up-an-down, sinking
deep into her meowmie's...uh...fluffiness (yea! thatza werd! "fluffiness")
with each step. There's the tiniest glimmer of dampness at the corner of
Talisker's mouth -- just the beginnings of the tremendous drool skill we
know she's capable of.
And now we see Talisker moving to the pillow above her meowmie's head.
She circles purring in a regular pusling rhythm. Now she settles
her tummy right on her meowmie's head, and --yes! -- she snuggles
in so her whole tummy, complete with lion pouch and soft tabby fur, is
completely over her meowmie's face! Her meowmie turns her face slightly
to one side so her attempts to breethe won't disturb this amazing cathlete.
Now Talisker wraps her arms around the top of her meowmie's head, the drool
is reaching its full extenshun, and her front paws reach the back of her
meowmie's head and now...yes!...she begins to knead her meowmie's head
wif those enormous paws (hard to believe she has only the standard number
of toes on thoze giant paws!) wif her claws going in-n-out-n-in-n-out of
her meowmie's hair and skull. And she's still purring and her drooling
is fully extended and this is a tremendous effort, folks! We're
seeing smurgling history today!
Now Talisker Pippin's meowmie reaches up and grabs her wif both hands
and here comes the dismount . . . she flies through the air, leaving a
trail of drool in her meowmie's hair, and lands . . . right back wif all
four feets on her meowmie's tummy! What a cat! What a great performance
this has been! It's been a privilege to witness this amazing demonstration
of smurgling prowess, so focussed, so disciplined--nothing breaks her concentrashun,
and that's what you have to aim for when you compete at this level. Whatever
the results of this competition, Talisker Pippin has to be proud of her
showing today!
And now for the next contestant.
