Now, I know that as foster mom I agree to keep a space open for any cat who needs or wants to come home if they've been adopted out, but having the cat ring me up in purr-son to complain about the living conditions and feeding schedule is a first! ;o) Huffy I've heard of cats dialing the phone before, and also of cats fascinated by the answering machine and people calling so their cats can hear their voices. Never heard of one calling to complain to foster mom about a feeding schedule! Too funny! Jill Hey! That is one smart pussycat! MLB |
