While Xena admires herself in the mirror, Beano spars with that other creature. If he pummels the mirror any harder, one of these days it will fall right on top of him! (If it does, it’ll just scare him — it’s light plastic.)
Yeah, there’s no mistaking who’s the female and who’s the male between them. At night, I have to keep under the covers or else Beano bites my wrist and tries to hump my arm. I don’t know what I’ll do in the summertime when it’s too hot to stay under the covers! It’s disconcerting to wake up in the middle of the night by some sharp teeth and… oh, let’s not go there…
Back to the video: I took it in low light and tried to brighten it and bump up the contrast in Final Cut Express (which I got at Christmas and am still trying to muddle through). The soundtrack is from David’s eclectic collection which includes jug music. Once I get the hang of Final Cut, it won’t look/sound so rough!
One of my favourite bits is the expression on Beano’s face around the 28-second mark. Arliin would’ve laughed her way into next week if she’d seen this; she was telling me on Jan 1 how much Beano liked the mirror on that shelving unit we dragged up to her apartment — “he was beaming at that handsome kitty on the other side!”

Zara’s kitten, Floyd, does this to our shower stall glass door. I think she sees her reflection.
omg that’s so funny! You should submit it to cuteoverload.com! See at your house that’s cute. At my house, one would be boxing with the mirror while the other checks out what is behind it and the whole thing would come crashing down. Mine always take it one step beyond cute into disasterous.
It is a purrfect video for sharing on all those sites that people visit for a good laugh! If Xena watches this silly but determined routine it would be delicious to read her mind!
Actually, I look to Gailatlarge every day for the NEWS! This is an especially good day!
That is hilarious Gail.
They remind me a bit of the typical comedic pairing of straight and funny man.
Getting Beano Over the Hump
You can try getting a surrogate for him- I know that a plushy stuffed animal a little smaller than he is may work for him- it does for a recently tamed feral male cat I know about- still not a pretty sight but at least your arm will be safer! Just make it available only at bedtime. I hope it works!
(his urinary problems may be causing some crystal deposits, and a little rub-a-dub is giving him some relief) (or he is simply enjoying!)
I’m just curious Gail, in your professional opinion…who won?
