Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / October 2005He's learning
Caliban is a very food-motivated cat. He is always trying to snarf, not just his own food, but Frank's and Miranda's food, too. This is not good, since I mix Frank's hyperthyroidism meds in his food, and mrianda still refuses to eat any sort of cat food, and only eats fresh meat and fish. Caliban gets a few pieces of meat or fish now and then, but I can't afford to feed them both fresh meat every day. So Caliban gets his own kitten food. After a couple of months with us, Calban has learned that when he goes to sniff Frank's food bowl, Meowmie will say sternly, 'Caliban, no!' Then Caliban will commence solemnly burying the food. I think he's learned that it is not fit to eat. He still steals meat from Miranda's bowl whenever he can get away with it.  SignatureMarina, Frank, Miranda and Caliban.

The most spectacular thing Laku's learned from Nico is to eat kibble! Laku didn't seem to comprehend that kibble was food and only played paw-hockey with the bits earlier. I remember the first time I saw Laku eating kibble - I called DH Janne over to witness the miracle, but he'd already seen it before. Mind you, Laku still doesn't eat a lot of kibble, but does munch a few now and then, when he feels the wet food in his bowl isn't fit for consumption.

Have you moved everything now? How did it go? How did the cats take to the new place? SignatureMarina, Frank, Miranda and Caliban.

How did it go? How did the cats take to > the new place? Yep, everything's moved last weekend. There are still plenty of boxes and bags of all sizes around that need to be unpacked. The cats, especially Nico, seem to enjoy all those hiding places and climb around on the piles of stuff. They seem to like the new place OK, but we haven't let them out into the yard yet. We'll have to get another set of "clothes" (harness and leash) for Nico, as he doesn't have any of his own yet. We cannot let them out unsupervised as 1) it's in the "house rules" not to let your pets out without being leashed and 2) I wouldn't want to find either of my babies squashed along the Asolanväylä - a large road with heavy traffic not far from us. Good thing that I can get online at work, even tho not as much as I'd like. Dang job duties interfere with my online surfing... ;) Now we'll just have to wait until Sonera graciously connects us to the net at the new apartment. Won't be long now, I hope. Christine in Vantaa, Finland (who'll probably get withdrawal symptoms over the weekend...) Enjoy the new place!
