This cat never ceases to amaze me. Since he's been on a mainly canned food diet, plus his pred. every other day (doing well on it, BTW) he still keeps trying to find Bonnie's food. She still won't eat canned so I have to hide her food from him, but leave it so *she* can find it since she free-feeds and I don't want to limit her to two separate meals of all dry (expanding food in her tummy and all that). During the day isn't a problem since they're separated. But in the morning and at night he goes on the prowl looking for her food. He's discovered the spot on top of the TV in my room and watching a fat cat precariously balancing himself between the arm of a chair to the TV top is pretty funny. Since that didn't work, I started putting her food on my dresser but he started jumping up there (!) amazing in itself since he stopped jumping to high places when he got sick. Soooo... I move her food to a higher spot when she's finished for the time being. I move it to a tall dresser about 5' tall, covered with clutter so there isn't room to jump up there (like I really thought he'd jump that high). Twice now I've caught him up there eating her food. grrrrrrrr... Running out of hiding spaces! Now I wonder why he hasn't found the dry I leave for Shamrock to crunch on that's right on a kitchen countertop. ROFL! You *have* to take a picture of that! I'm so glad he's feeling so frisky and agile. I bet he thinks he's the ****, pulling one over mom time after time. Don't tell him about the food on the kitchen counter, it would just take the wind out of his sails... |

I have to remember to keep the camera handy. I'm so glad he's feeling so frisky and agile. I bet he thinks he's the ****, pulling one over mom time after time. LOL You should see the look he gives me. And then the look when I take the food away. If looks could kill.... Don't tell him about the food on the kitchen counter, it would just take the wind out of his sails... Funny thing is that he sits on the floor looking up at Shamrock eating and crunching up there. The counter is no higher than my dresser, and definitely much lower than the 5' one he jumped up to so I don't get it. It's like the dragons in the McCaffery books. How much weight can a dragon lift? As much as he thinks he can. How high can a cat jump? As high as he *thinks* he can Maybe the dresser just *seems* easier (color, lighting, etc.) Karen |

on 20 Mar 2004: It's like the dragons in the McCaffery books. How much weight can a dragon lift? As much as he thinks he can. How high can a cat jump? As high as he *thinks* he can Maybe the dresser just *seems* easier (color, lighting, etc.) That could very well be it. So perhaps his confidence is building with the jumping he's doing lately and the counter is not a safe place to keep it away from him. Hmm.. Thanks Karen. I'll be monitoring that food more closely. It's easy to tell if he's found dry food because he won't leave a crumb in the bowl. The others only eat a small amount and leave it. -- Cheryl |
