As you know, our living space is limited. Karma’s natural instinct to hunt, point and attack prey has been modified to include bugs, flies and spiders that dare to enter our house. With respect to the spiders, Ruthi greatly appreciates Karma’s attention and Boots capture. With the errant fly that opts to enter our space,
Karma is very focused. After she does her point, we attempt to slap/kill the fly and then let her eat it (gross – but Karma really likes them!!!).
Today, we had the toaster on the table with the plug stretched across open space to an outlet. Karma’s attempt to point/attack the fly (before we could slap/kill) ended up with her pulling the cord down and the toaster with it. Loud noises ensued as the toaster crashed to the floor.
Now, Karma walks across the living/kitchen area on the far side of the road from the “crash” site. She is terrified of the toaster, cord, and table side. Karma now wants to lie down in the narrow hallway from the living area through the bathroom to the bedroom. To Karma, it seems to be the only safe area – poor baby.
