Aby-a-Day – January 25: There’s gonna be a rumble tonight (Friday Flashback)

Earlier this week I was going through some old photos and waxing nostalgic for the days when Angel used to play with Jacoby.

While their “play” was fairly combative, it was still better than the way they do it now.

Now, Jake tries to play with Angel, and Angel responds by hissing, growling (yes, actual angry-cat growling) and whapping the crap out of him while running away to her haven.

Back then, Angel would play with Jake.

Of course, her playing still involved smacking him around, but at least she seemed to be enjoying it.

It was so much fun to watch.

*Sigh* I wish they’d play like that again.

Here’s a video of one of their epic floor matches…of course, Jake’s a little distracted by the camera…But weren’t they cute?
