Hungry, hungry
Boyfriend has seemed hungry today, and he has already eaten three pouches of
wet food, so when he asked me for more a while ago I decided to give him some dry kibble. He has a dish for his wet food and one for his dry, in a different part of the kitchen. I got a new box of dry from the porch (we were out of it in the house) and when he saw me with the box, he moved from his wet food bowl where he was begging to his dry food one. I find that a bit scary. How did he know that the box meant kibble and he had a special bowl to eat it in which he moved to? Wow! Tweed |

We had a poodle that was so dumb, we were afraid to move her food and water for fear she would starve or die of thirst. Jo |

He surprises me often with with his insight and intelligence. I really don't know what to make of him, he isn't like any cat I've ever known. We had a poodle that was so dumb, we were afraid to move her food and water for fear she would starve or die of thirst. Now that does surprise me. I had a job when I was a teenager, helping in a poodle parlour, shampooing and grooming. All sizes, toy, miniature and standard. They were all smart intelligent dogs. It gave me a new respect for poodles. Maybe your one had some sort of mental disability. I have a friend who took her miniature poodle to the heights in obedience competitions. Tweed |

Tweed We had others that were brilliant. I really think the first one was deprived of oxygen at birth or something of that nature. She was the sweetest dog ever but dumb as a post. A shame too as her coat and conformation were perfect. But a champion has a spark, and trust me she had no spark whatsoever. Jo |

Oh yes, the boys here know where the wet food and where the dry food go. Miranda doesn't eat either, but she knows where her bowl goes. In between her eating, I have to lift it up out of the boys' way so they don't eat her food. When she wants to eat a little, she sits down where her bowl goes and just looks at me expectantly. -- Marina, Frank, Miranda and Caliban.

I expected him to know where each dish was, what surprised me so much was that normally I keep his kibble in the kitchen cupboard in a white plastic container. I get that container out and shake some into his dish. I wouldn't find it remarkable for him to recognise the plastic container and move to his kibble dish. Actually he knows where it's kept and if he wants some he will miaow and touch the cupboard door. I was amazed because this was a *box* of kibble which I fetched from the porch. It could have been anything, cornflakes etc for myself, but no, somehow he knew what it was! You don't think he can read do you? ;-)) Tweed |

(I swear she must read the price tag or the register tape or something!) |

I'll bet that when she looks so worried waiting for her bit of fresh meat, she always gets some! |
