Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2004My Kind of Host!
Last night I went to a a board of directors meeting for the shelter held in the home of another board member, a very distinguished gentleman who is a retired corporate attorney. He had set a beautiful table, a formal dining room, complete with a wonderful presentation of china & crystal. In the middle of each plate set a dainty little salad plate with a fresh fruit salad topped with cottage cheese. We were adjourning the meeting in the living room when all of us looked over and saw Buddy, his Siamese, standing in a chair and lapping up the cottage cheese at one plate. With perfect aplomb and grace, he scolded Buddy, then swept up Buddy's foiled treat. Then he switched it with the salad at the head of the table, where he intended to sit. Is this our kinda people or what?? Sherry >With perfect aplomb and grace, he scolded Buddy, then swept up Buddy's foiled >treat. >Then he switched it with the salad at the head of the table, where he intended >to sit. >Is this our kinda people or what?? What a wonderful dinner that must've been. I guess that's to be expected from animal lovers! (Well, except maybe for me, because I can't cook anything good, even though I love kitties.) > Last night I went to a a board of directors meeting for the shelter held in the > home of another board member, a very distinguished gentleman who is a retired [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Is this our kinda people or what?? > Sherry Definitely our kinda people!

That's why you're our kinda people, too! It's nice when you get a chance to socialize with people with whom you don't have to worry about the furkids minding their "housecat manners."

Except there's really no point in scolding the cat. :P Theresa My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com alt.tv.frasier FAQ: http://www.im-listening.net/FAQ/ >Absolutely! Except there's really no point in scolding the cat. :P > >Theresa LOL, that part was for our benefit. We razzed him about it. We told him it was the oldest trick in the book, fein shock when the cat gets on the table in front of company. This cat is a classic brat Siamese, and it's pretty obvious he *runs* the house. I'm guessing he not only gets on the table regularly, but probably dances on it and sleeps on it too. Sherry > he *runs* the house. I'm guessing he not only gets on the table regularly, but > probably dances on it and sleeps on it too. Wait a minute, are you implying that's not normal behaviour?

That was exactly what I was thinking, Victor. Julie >Absolutely!

Wouldn't bother me a bit! I have shared my food with my cats licking off my spoon. ;-D -- CATherine >So...did he eat the cottage cheese? Wouldn't bother me a bit!

Wouldn't bother me a bit! I have > shared my food with my cats licking off my spoon. ;-D I've done so too in the past. However my new kitten was recently diagnosed with Giardia - an intestinal parasite - that I was informed can be transmitted to humans and causes awful abdominal cramping, vomiting and bloody diarrhrea (this was the day after I had allowed her to lick my mouth is a kitty kiss!!!). Giardia did not even slow Sammy down (though she HATED the medicine she had to take twice a day), but it's really hard on humans. I was very lucky that I did not get it from her. So... be careful, especially if you have kittens or puppies (and those of you who may have kids that like to share their ice cream with their pets). Hugs, CatNipped CatMom to: Bandit, (a.k.a.
