The cat would like to thank Pergo flooring....

The cat has become very brave. I guess she REALLY wants to be around us (we left her for two days). She's been venturing into the kitchen (under the gate) to sit up on the kitchen table. Normally I do not let her sit up on tables and counters, but since there are few places for her to get up away from Maggs right now I let her. Today when she jumped off the table she startled Maggie, who was sleeping in the family room. Maggs tore off into the kitchen before I knew what was happening. Mao would like to now thank Pergo flooring because the only thing saving her from whatever it is Maggie wants to do to her is that Pergo kitchen floor. As soon as Maggs hits that floor running she starts slipping and sliding...even crashing into the garbage can on a few occassions...and she can't quite make the 90 degree turn past the fridge to catch the cat before she squeezes under the gate back to the dining room. It reminded me of crash I saw on the Tour de France today...Did I mention the clicking and clacking noise Maggs makes when she's trying to catch her footing in the kitchen? Needless to say, it is quite a loud scene.
