Of cats and plaster...

Jul 09, 2005 13:30

I could seriously kick BooBoo's little furry butt today. Well, if I thought it would do any good. :P

Woke up this morning to find out that he'd gotten into the fridge again and eaten the almost-whole game hen I had wrapped up for the cats, and was working on the sliced deli ham. Somebody ate that game hen anyway. It'd barely have been a few ( Read more... )

Cats know not guilt. Especially of the wracked variety.

If only they gave lessons...

You take gorgeous pictures of your cats. :D BooBoo looks completely full and completely smug, guilt is just written all over his cheeky face! lol

Good look with the renovations it sounds like you have a big job a head of you! Plaster dust - I know how you feel. *choking here* I look foreword to seeing some more pictures of both your house and your cats (I'm nosey and your cats are too cute for words and I could always do with some house tips!) :D

Hee--love that icon. ;D

And I'll see if I can't come through on the house pictures finally. I've been threatening to post some for almost two years now, but I keep finding mercy for my f-list. ;)

(Here via friendslists, hope that's okay).

My cat likes to open the fridge. He doesn't try to take things out, he just seems to like staring at the lights - they apparently have a strangely hypnotic fascination for him.

Unfortunately, he doesn't appreciate the need to shut the fridge door afterwards, so this has been known to lead to unplanned defrosting.

Perfectly ok. :)

Heh, could your cat come and teach mine about the coolness of the light? I'll see about traning the dog to shut the door. If I can explain to him that it's to spite the cat, it just might work!

The pictures of your kitties always turn out so wonderful. His paws are so fuzzy! Just adorable.

Cairo likes to open the fridge and pull out whatever is on the bottom shelf, so we now have to put a weight in front of the door to keep him away. We also have weights in front of the pantry and the upstairs closet. Cats.

dualbunny July 9 2005, 12:40:42 UTC

Hehe, I'm trying to picture all of these weights. Are we talking dumbells? Did you have a picture of the one with your fridge one time, and I'm just forgetting what exactly it looked like? :) Maybe I should be happy to settle for a latch. ;D

Your cats are very cute, but I think I'd be quite irate if I were you.

The closest my dog ever came to such behavior was when we tried to shut her in the kitchen overnight before she was housetrained. The kitchen had a swinging door, and no matter how we blockaded it, we'd come down to see her on the living room couch in the morning.

Silly puppy.

And would you believe he's still sitting by me on my desk right now, trying to nonchalantly steal some of my sandwich. No freakin' shame. Lily is at least begging politely from the floor. And guess who's going to actually get some sandwich? ;}

Somehow I am not surprised that a single door couldn't keep a dog and her couch separated. ;D

thisficklemob July 9 2005, 16:51:16 UTC

And guess who's going to actually get some sandwich? ;}

I hope Lily, if either? I keep preaching the gospel of "don't reward begging"... waiting nearby is one thing, snuffing up at the table and panting is another. Unfortunately, it's mostly my mom I have to convince.

Funny part about the couch - that was the one she wasn't supposed to be on. Later on she was trained to only get on the old beat-up couch in the tv-room, and stay off the nicer newer on in the living room. Now, of course, she's old, and my mom actually gets off the couch to let her get up when she barks at her. First time I saw this, I reacted with horror. Like, omg, you've let her be alpha dog?!

dualbunny July 9 2005, 20:46:29 UTC

Aww, old puppies deserve to be catered to once in a while. ;)

And yes, Lily. I admit, I'm good about being firm with Miles, mostly because I couldn't handle 120 lbs of ill-behaved dog. I'm a sucker for the cats though. Gerry is constantly telling me I spoil them. I do try to be fair though. If the cats get to lick something out, I make sure Miles gets a lick too.

Honestly, Lily's about the only one that really gets away with the begging. I just can't deal with the cute. ;D
