This morning, my cat Cannoli was playing with a new toy. We’ve had a couple of helium-filled balloons floating around my house for a few days. Jenny and Cannoli have been playing with the strings. One of the balloons was out of helium and was lying on the floor. Cannoli walked up to it and batted at it. It popped in his face.
Cannoli didn’t know what to do. He and Jenny were staring at it. Slowly, they approached the popped balloon, unsure if it was a threat. While Jenny busied herself with the string, Cannoli batted at the balloon, checking to see if it was dead. Once he was sure he had killed the balloon, Cannoli wandered off, in search of another balloon to play with.
