cat with a dog brain
Mongo, our loud mouthed siamese housemate, in many ways acts like a dog.
Outside, he'll come if I call him. If I walk somewhere within a block of the house like the pool, a neighbor, etc., he'll follow along about 10' behind the whole way. When I was at an apartment complex, he used to walk with me to the mailbox every day. His latest doglike activity is that he is getting really pushy when we have dinner. We usually eat dinner in the living room in front of the TV and mongo always gets some of what I'm having. Last night we had pork chops and he ate about the equivelent of 4 human mouthfuls. At some point I'll say "that's it!" and he used to know that he wasn't getting any more. Now, he's not satisfied with that and will walk right over to my plate and try to help himself. With that siamese cat stubborness, he is like an untrained dog. http://pets.webshots.com/photo/27707...qqL?vhost=pets http://pets.webshots.com/photo/20410...BIL?vhost=pets http://pets.webshots.com/video/30804...TpY?vhost=pets |

Caliban is like that when it comes to food. Even though he knows by now that I never have any meat on my plate, he still needs to inspect everything I'm eating and tries to steal bits off my plate. http://pets.webshots.com/photo/27707...qqL?vhost=pets http://pets.webshots.com/photo/20410...BIL?vhost=pets http://pets.webshots.com/video/30804...TpY?vhost=pets I hadn't seen that video. Miranda is a climber like that. Caliban tries to, but he just doesn't have the body for it. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. |

Even though he knows by now that I never have any meat on my plate, he still needs to inspect everything I'm eating and tries to steal bits off my plate. Mongo hasn't gotten that aggressive yet. About the worst thing he does is wave a paw over my plate. I used to have a bread machine and eat fresh bread from it and had a kitty who liked to eat anything I was eating especially potato chips and bread. I'd be watching TV and a paw would come out of nowhere and snatch the bread. It's only a matter of time before Mongo does the same. http://pets.webshots.com/photo/27707...qqL?vhost=pets http://pets.webshots.com/photo/20410...BIL?vhost=pets http://pets.webshots.com/video/30804...TpY?vhost=pets I hadn't seen that video.

Even though he doesn't eat any of the food I eat, he still needs to see if anything might appeal to him. Best wishes, Polonca and Soncek |

When I had my scooter, she and the cats wee grazers! They ate out of each
others dishes on a regular basis. I think O. T. has lost some weight since he doesn't have to dog food anymore. wrote in message ...
