Hey that's mine!

Dreary day here in SW OK, cloudy and rain off and on all day. A little
while ago, during a brief break in the clouds, the sun came out for a
few minutes. Little Bit wanted to check and see if any of the
neighborhood cats on been around, so I decided I'd put on the girls
collars and let Sammy and LB out while I smoked a cig. LB and Sam only
wear their collars when I take them out. They come running when they
hear the tags jiggle, and wait patiently while I put them on.

I grabbed the collars off the hooks, and the girls came and stood by
the door. I bent down to put a collar on LB while she looked outside
and waited patiently. Sammy reached up and wrapped her paws around my
hand. I was about to put the blue collar on her mom. The look she gave
me obviously said that everyone knows momma wears the red one, the
blue belongs to Sammy.

I quickly realized my mistake, and put the collars on appropriate
necks, and we went outside. Unfortunately, a couple minutes later the
brief sunshine diasppeared and it started sprinkling again.

Yes, I've read that not ALL cats are color-blind (as dogs are). I think
most of them are, but every once in a while one does something that
pretty clearly indicates he/she can perceive color.

A former co-worker of mine had a cat who only ate red flowers. She could
have any other colour flowers in a vase, but if she brought in red ones, the
cat ate them. It didn't matter what kind of flowers they were.

Avery [my ringneck dove, for those who don't know] was once seen
furiously pecking away at the one red button on a remote control. He
gets a fruit-flavored birdie snack as a treat that has red, orange,
yellow, and green pieces. I listed the colors in the order in which he
eats them. :-)

Mike loves to drink water that has a camellia floating in it, but only
a red camellia. He won't drink from a bowl with a white camellia, but
I have no idea whether it's because of the color or whether the
flowers from different bushes make the water taste different.

Single-mindedness is all very well in cows or baboons; in an animal
claiming to belong to the same species as Shakespeare it is simply disgraceful.
