Reason # 67 why Roxie scares me
 

When we received Marilyn's babies, China Doll and Randy--who is now known as
Master Philip or Fella for short--we knew we had to acclimate the family to a
new feeding structure, to the chagrin of the other spoiled darlings. The
Fella is a dignified, toothless gent who needs canned food, ordinarily given
the others as a treat to break the monotony of the four different kinds of
dry we serve them. And so we have an envy issue, not to mention a challenge
to the intellect of Roxie, our most devious little girl. She'd gotten onto
the counter a few days ago, got a can of Fancy Feast out of the bag, and went
to work. Louie was in the, um, reading room and heard a "ping...ping"
punctuated by abrupt trills. When he was through with his, um, book, he went
out to find Madame holding the can down with one paw, and picking at the
little ring-thing with the claws of the other.

Madame Roxie would do well with the CIA or Scotland Yard. She already is
dressed like James Bond out for a night in the baccarat room.

Blessed be,
Baha

I have a cousin with the CIA in your state. I'd ask him to get in
touch with Roxie, but I don't have his number, and I suspect she does.

Wonder if it would affect his clearance if they knew he used to wear
my hand-me-down clothes as a child?

Fortunately for him, I dressed in Jeans and T-Shirts before most girls
did.

I've got an envy thing going on here too, trying to put weight back on
Abelard, he is getting a can a day in private (because he eats so slow), but
no one is trying to open cans. I usually put down three cans for the rest of
the clowder to share, so they don't feel so left out. They don't finish it
all, so Abelard may get some more later if he wants it - and he usually
does. He's making up for all the weeks when I had to force tiny amounts into
him to keep him alive.

Remember when Persia did something similar back when she got FF as a treat
on Sundays? She didn't try to pull the tab (although I wouldn't have put it
past her) but she did manage to get a can down off the pantry shelf and
scoot it to the middle of the kitchen floor where she sat, waiting with it,
until I walked in :)

I don't know what FF does, but even the cans must smell good to them.
Whenever we bring the (3!!) cases home each week at least one of my will
jump up and rub all over the case (I wonder if they soak them in catnip
juice??!). LOL

Wouldn't put it past marketing to put something in the glue they use
to put the labels on.

My friend Bruce had several cats many years ago, all but one RB, and a
big d*g named Konrad. The cats would knock loaves of bread off of the
kitchen counter and Konrad would take the wrappers off. Then they
would all feast on bread fresh from the store. Persia was waiting for
a servant to open the can.
