What's better than the Best Game Ever?

[desperance]

Well, duh. The Best Game Ever with String, obviously.

(For those not in the know, the Best Game Ever is changing the bedsheets. With cats. Either one, or both together. But once the bottom bedsheet is safely emplaced - instate, we like to say - without a cat beneath it, then whichever cat is currently on top of it? Is going to be extra enchanted by added string, I am just sayin'. Also bleedin', I am just bleedin'. But only a little. Baz has claws, and string must be pinned down firmly.)

One of the Best Games Ever is changing the bedsheets. As you've noted, there are Extra Added Bonus Brownie Points for ending up under the sheet when the bed is made, prompting a replay.

If however, the human is inexplicably disinclined to change the bed on demand, the Other Best Game Ever is the Bannister Game. Bonus points can be gained in this by howling loud enough to bring the human to find out what is wrong, and lifting her hair off her scalp as she ascends the stairs, and then purring loudly enough to keep her playing when she has other (paltry) matter to which to attend.

Perhaps the Bannister Game is not much played in foreign parts without stairs?

Alas: Barry says the Bannister Game is long lost to him, indeed. Sometimes when he wanders around the house staring mournfully into corners, I suspect he is once again looking for the stairs.

The stairs, or the fairies, or possible the fairies on the stairs. Or the Ghosts of the Really Kind People lingering in the corners of the room where the Cruel People inexplicably survive.
