Dinner with friends

When I was just a wee-little guy, I wasn’t a very good eater. I really liked the warm milk my mommy fed me from the bottle. Plus, during feeding time, she snuggled me up tight and loved on me — who would want that to change. But it turns out my mommy is smarter than I give her credit for.

You see she tricked me into learning to love wet food. As you probably know, us cats are very social eaters. So, she set up a plate of wet food with my stuffed friends around it. I thought my friends were eating so I joined right in.

Of course, now that I am older and smarter, I know that my stuffed friends weren’t actually eating. And I also now appreciate her showing me the ways of the yummy food (and treats).

Casper

My big brother Casper is a weird-o! I don’t understand most of what he does but I’m always intrigued by him. For instance, this morning during our pre-breakfast playtime, I caught him wondering into Mommy and Daddy’s bathroom. This totally interrupted my playtime as I just had to find out what he was up to. So, I snuck in behind him and peaked around the corner. OMG! You’ll never guess what I caught him doing. He was drinking the water out of Daddy’s toilet! I was literally floored. I plopped down right there and just watched in disbelief…and wonderment.

I wonder if one day I’ll be strong enough to stand up on my back legs and enjoy the fresh water of the magical toilet. Although given Mommy’s reaction when she joined me in the bathroom to see what I was watching, I don’t think I’ll be trying it anytime soon. I do NOT like making my Mommy made because when she’s mad at me she doesn’t play with me as much. I try to tell her that if she’d just play with me she’d be less mad at me but she doesn’t listen when she’s angry or frustrated.

So maybe someday I’ll get to try the toilet water but until then I’ll stick to the water-bowls that I know I’m allowed to drink from.
