how to create a kittycat explosion...
Just open a container of yoghurt (or of pudding) anywhere in the
house... the cats will explode out of wherever they're hiding and stampede to the source of the sound. What's really funny is that they'll also come running at the sound of ANY opening foil packet, whether it contains food or not. I don't think they REALLY wanted to eat my new dishclothes... well, maybe they did but that's a different story (they're dishcloth theives of the first order!)

LOL!
In this house, anything that even remotely resembles the sound of shaking a container of dry cat food will bring you two mrrping striped companions. Case in point: my husband gave a vigorous shaking to the carton of Silk (soy milk -- an alternative to milk for the lactose-intolerant). Captain and Stanley practically TELEPORTED into the kitchen. DH thought it was so funny, he shook the living daylights out of the Silk just to see what the cats would do. They kept watching him, certain that this shaking noise was going to eventually lead to dishes of dry cat food being produced. A minute or two later, when he actually poured the Silk into his coffee, it had a foamy froth on top. SEVERAL minutes later, when I poured it into MY coffee, I got a layer of froth, too. And the poor kitties eventually went away bewildered, wondering what happened to the part of the process where they get fed cat food after being summoned by the sound of something being shaken. ;o) Poor guys. Good thing their dishes already had crunchies in them prior to all this. Donna, Captain, and Stanley |

Heh. When I saw this title I thought of an explosion *away* and thought
sneezes. Not now, because Pearl doesn't bat an eye, but it used to be if Grant and Sugar were sitting on me and I sneezed, it was like a kitty explosion. "Karen AKA Kajikit" wrote in message ...

[[Heh. When I saw this title I thought of an explosion *away* and thought

Not now, because Pearl doesn't bat an eye, but it used to be if Grant and Sugar were sitting on me and I sneezed, it was like a kitty explosion.]] Oh, now if you want to create THAT sort of explosion, you could have cats in the same room as I am when there's a hockey game on TV. I've been known to cheer vigorously, and also protest referee calls vehemently, while watching a game on television. Ditto for my friend, Donna, the one I requested purrs for when her elderly cat went to the RB a few days ago. She coined the phrase "hockey wings" to describe the reaction of cats at rest when their Meowmy suddenly lets out a loud noise. ) Well, Melody and Harmony, bless them, both had their hockey wings bestowed on them years ago. They're probably comparing notes at the RB right now with other kities whose Meowmies and Paws watched sports on TV. Captain and Stanley, on the other hand, haven't seen me watch a pro hockey game on TV yet, because the NHL is locked out in a labor dispute. So they haven't got hockey wings yet. However, that might change tonight. There is a rare televised road game for the Philadelphia Phantoms, our minor-league local hockey team, for which DH and I are season ticket holders. So the kitties are finally going to witness me in the act of watching a televised hockey game. This could be interesting. D I'll have to report later on how many cat-shaped dents in the ceiling DH has to repair. ;o) Donna, Captain, and Stanley |

Oh, let's see,
1. Refrigerator door opening 2. Paper bags crumpling. 3. The sound of bread going into the toaster. 4. Cupboard doors opening, especially those with squeaky hinges. 5.Plastic bags rustling. 6. "Kitty Breakfast/Kitty Supper!" 7.flour being brushed off a counter 8. The vaguest possibility of an insect sneezing 9.Milk being poured into my teacup. 10.The tea biscuit box being opened. If they haven't heard it before, it has at least the potential of leading toward a meal, or at least a kitty snack, and they follow it up. =o) Melissa |

Any clattering of dishes or other kitchen activity brings Millie. Taking a bowl down from the caminet brings several more. Seating the can opener on a can of anything brings Millie, Ozy, and Avery, the last two only if they are inside. Getting four bowls down and lining them up on the counter brings about half a dozen (this is step one in *tuna*). Actually opening several cans of tuna brings all but one or two into the kitchen, some from hundreds of feet away outside. The other two usually show up within ten minutes or so.

What brings your cats running?
Smokey's hideous caterwaul that heralds the dawn. mmrrrRRRrrrrOWOWmrOWmryowYOWmrOW..... The others now know that when Smokey begins his tune, the humans will not be able to tolerate it long, and soon will be going to the kitchen to open cans of gooshy food and fill water dishes and kibble bowls. As for Smokey, what brings HIM running is a possible contact on the Sandwich Radar, and/or the pizza guy. --Fil |
