This famous game has been popular for generations! The players sit in a circle, except for one
person who is "Poor Pussy." "Poor Pussy" - let's call this unfortunate PP - kneels in front of any player and meows. The person must stroke or pat PP's head and say, "Poor Pussy. Poor Pussy. Poor Pussy," without smiling. If the person who is petting PP smiles, he or she becomes the next PR and PP gets to sit in the circle. It's almost impossible to keep a straight face when you're patting someone's head and saying "Poor Pussy," and to make it even tougher, PP is permitted to do ANYTHING to crack you up, including making weird purring sounds or ridiculous faces or other silly cat-ish moves. Other people in the circle are permitted to laugh, hoot, whistle, and do whatever they can to make it more difficult to keep your cool. |
