Slinky

The kitchen, for whatever reason, is a terrifying place.  One would think the Source of All Goodies would be Cannoli and Boadicea's favorite place.  But Cannoli thought the kitchen is a very scary place.  Not too surprising.  In contrast, Boadicea is so bold on the floor; the wood floor hardly slows her down.  But when plopped onto far side of the kitchen floor, she also became as timid as Noli!

Even after a few trips to the kitchen, Boadicea figured the safest way to leave was to dash to the cabinets, slink under the ledge and the refrigerator door, then scramble towards the familiar side of the room.  It's the only time I've seen her act so timid.  What's so scary about the kitchen floor?  (Other than this video shows how badly it needs to be swept!)
