Does your cat dance on its hind legs?
Oscar does this thing when excited whereby he stands and runs like a bear on his hind legs. It is so comical to see and I wondered if this was an Oscar quirk or a coonie thing. None of my previous moggies have ever been seen doing this. Our new kitten Jessie doesn't know what to make of this but has learned that it is often the prelude to an attack (playfully of course as Oscar adores Jessie) and she gets out of the way quick smart.

Little Minnie used to do that quite a lot when she was younger, often in order to challenge the others into playing. I once saw her running on her hind legs towards Tatja, who was stretched out on the floor, and leaping over her like a little kangaroo.

Ha ha. That's a lovely image! Oscar better up his game to include kangaroo jumps. I guess it's coonie-speak for "play with me"!

My River (domestic shorthair) does this i. He is that good he can stay up for a few minutes. We taught him this when he was younger. Hopefully i can do the same with Basil that would look so funny. Little and large

Both of mine can do this, and both can hold it at least for a little bit. But aside from the one time Winston scared the crap out of Archie by jumping out of a closed shower, they only ever do it if there is food involved. I call it prairie dogging, they will pop up to peek at what I've got out.
