Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2008Archer and Ozzy
I know I haven't posted a lot lately - I've been lurking only because life has been whipping my butt something awful and I tend to go into full retreat mode when that happens. However, I just needed to share this story. The other morning DH let me "sleep in" (until all of 8AM!!) and he fed the cats for me. I was in the kitchen about 15 minutes later and heard a loud, disembodied meowing every time I spoke (OK, with 5 cats in our clowder that's not an unusual occurrence). Also, Archer was hanging around the pantry door and meowing too. "You've already been fed, boy, and your daddy's a better cook than I am so what are you complaining about?" I asked him (not expecting him to answer since I'm not completely around the bend yet). DH walked into the kitchen to ask what was going on. "Did you chase Ozzy out of the pantry when you fed them this morning?" a thought occurred to me - Ozzy always materializes out of nowhere when the pantry door is opened because he knows that's where we keep his food and treats. "No, I didn't see him in the pantry," he replied. I walked over to the pantry, opened the door and out walked Ozzy looking quite smug and self-satisfied. Now, my pantry isn't very big - it is only as deep as the shelves plus about 6 inches in front of the shelves. On the floor of the pantry were various items that should have been on the shelves. On the first shelf our canned vegetables were scattered and rolled around. On the second shelf our boxes of Jello were overturned. On the third shelf our bottles of ketchup and other sauces were knocked over. On the fourth shelf the cans of Fancy Feast were even more scattered than the cans of vegetables on the first shelf. On the fifth shelf Ozzy had hit the jackpot. There was the bag of cat treats, still sealed at the top, but chewed through completely around the middle and much less full than it had been only 15 minutes earlier! Hopefully, in the future, DH will learn to check the pantry before closing the door and I'll have less cleaning up to do after a naughty boy's pantry raid!

LOL, Lor! Thank goodness you knew to look!! I have a similar type pantry/lazy susand. I keep popcorn in there, which I eat almost every day (love it as a snack). Oscar, my little runt Siamese, finds it facinating in there. On numerous occasions, he sneaks in there w/out me noticing. Usually, Maui will let me know with loud yowles that brother Oscar is snooping in the pantry!! And since were in the kitchen, after letting Oscar out, I thank Maui by giving him a twirl! :) Signature·.·´¨ ¨)) -:¦:- ¸.·´ .·´¨¨)) Laurie ((¸¸.·´ ..·´ -:¦:- ((¸¸ ·.· *~*LiveLoveLaugh*~* All that I am or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother. ~Abraham Lincoln On Mar 24, 10:09 am, "~*LiveLoveLaugh*~" <nob...@myjunkaddy.com> wrote: LOL Don't count on the DH to learn from this experience... <chuckles> I love reading your stories here....hehehe I dont have any DH yet, but it seems my brother look-a-like your DH experience, LOL;) btw your site is cool, a magic block with cats picture on each side:) and your webdesign is neat, I like it! unfortunately the 1st picture in this webpage http://www.possibleplaces.com/CatNipped/With_Mommy.asp couldnt be seen properly, I'm curiosity kill teh cat to see it:) but, dun worry, my curiosity will do no harm to my feline family, heheheh.... cheerz, -eri- Join my pondering today on feline & human at http://felinesophy.blogspot.com like how cats can be nominated furr the best communicator in feline nation!

Thank you! I used to be a web architect for a living before the bottom fell out of that market, so it shames me that I don't put more time into keeping that site up-to-date. That picture you're referring to is a Java applet, you probably don't have the plug-in needed to see it (it's just a slide-show of a few of Sammy's pictures that are also on her page as regular photos).

Yes, after all, he could have starved to death in there. :) I'm amazed that the only thing you (Lori) could hear was the meowing, and not the crashing and banging of an orange menace knocking over everything in sight!

I think he already done that part before I got into the kitchen and was only meowing when he finished eating and was ready to come out for his breakfast! ;> Hugs, CatNipped > Joyce >> > "CatNipped" <CatNipped@PossiblePlaces.com> wrote in message >> [quoted text clipped - 55 lines] > >> Joyce He may have just levitated the stuff down. >>> > "CatNipped" <CatNipped@PossiblePlaces.com> wrote in message >>> [quoted text clipped - 57 lines] > > He may have just levitated the stuff down. This is true - DH swears he teleported into the pantry since DH would never have been so careless, don't you know! ;> Hugs, CatNipped Thanks for posting about the boys.
