Hungry, hungry

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. I'll bet that when she looks so worried waiting for her bit of fresh meat, she always gets some! Alas, this is true. -- Marina, Frank, Miranda and Caliban.

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! As someone remarked, when discussing the difficulty of training cats to do tricks. "Cats are VERY intelligent at being cats - they just don't have the same priorities dogs do." 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? ;-)) I wouldn't entirely count it out! :-) Invariably, if I find some of my cat's favorite food on sale and stock up on it, she'll promptly decide she doesn't really like it, after all. (I swear she must read the price tag or the register tape or something!) I think modern cats can read the bar code. ;o) -- Adrian (Owned by Snoopy and Bagheera) A House is not a home, without a cat. http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk |

Hungry, hungry
I. 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? ;-)) The one that amazes me if when I come back from the supermarket and I have say 3 bags and the cats (The other cats as well as the Furballs did this) always go straight to the bag that has their food in.... Sarrasine can tell kibble by sound. I rattle anything else and she doesn't bother with it...Last week I ran out of Iams (Naughty slave!) so I got something else and when I rattled the box she didn't bother but she can tell Iams by noise!
