Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2005Psychic Tyche
So yesterday I was lying in bed for a rest with Tyche meatloafed behind my head. She was doing that purr thing that inevitably puts me to sleep if she does it long enough. Yesterday, though, she suddenly stopped purring. I muttered, wondering what happened. About twenty seconds later, she suddenly got up and bolted off the pillow. Five seconds after that, I heard the key in the lock. My partner was home, and Tyche was there to greet him. I wonder how she knows he's coming. She can't recognize the car engine, because he walks home from a bus stop that's a good third of a km away. Also, our apartment door is right beside the stairwell, so it's only about three steps from exiting the stairwell to opening the door. Can she recognize his footsteps on the stairs, even through our apartment door AND the stairwell door?! She'd have to in order to suspect his approach 30 seconds before he puts the key in the lock. Is our Spikey-Tyche psychic? --Fil > So yesterday I was lying in bed for a rest with Tyche meatloafed > behind my head.

She had to be a mile away when he started up. It is amazing. > So yesterday I was lying in bed for a rest with Tyche meatloafed > behind my head.

They can not only hear the sound of a mouse moving in dry grass from considerable distances, they can detect and locate it when the wind is blowing the grass and leaves around. In the wild, this ability is the difference between eating and going hungry. Domesticated cats still have this ability, they just use it for other things that interest them. SignatureT.E.D.

My parents were there one day, helping me clean out some old things. Dad and I went downstairs to take out some things to the bins. I only had Frank at that time. When we came back upstairs, Mum said Frank had gone to the door and looked expectantly at it several minutes before we came in. Frank must have heard us come in the downstairs door (that was some climb - it was an old house from the late 1800s, and each floor was about four metres high. I loved that high ceiling).

If their hearing is that sensitive, it's a wonder they don't mail hairballs to our neighbours who are constantly playing rap with the bass thudding through the bedroom wall. "To The Losers next Door Turn That Sh!t Down Or More Of These Will be Comin' Around We'll Pounce On You An' your Pitbull Pup Then Gulp You Down And Hack You Up Your Singing Sucks Your Talk's A Bore Love from The Four Kitty Cats Next Door." --Fil > > It's amazing. > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Love from The Four > Kitty Cats Next Door." Fil, I *LOVE* your rap - and everything else you write (I really missed you while you were gone). Do you write professionally? If not you should consider it!

I'm a cartoonist for a monthly newspaper, have written a magazine article, am working on a newspaper article, have done some historical conferences, published some poems, and sent a defence paper to Ottawa. Still a dabbler, but building a foundation. --FIl > "To The Losers next Door > Turn That Sh!t Down [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Love from The Four > Kitty Cats Next Door." LOL! Another great catsong (rap?) from Fil.

That's a scream! Can you do the whole act, w/the movements & everything? Katz Loved it! Thanks. Best wishes, SignaturePolonca & Soncek > > It's amazing. > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > --Fil > Loved it! Thanks. > Best wishes, Thanks guys! It's gotten to the point that I can make these up in the spur of the moment, as I did with that one, and sometimes I'll be singing along to a song and DP starts laughing at me because I've "rewritten" the words into a kittysong and /am not aware of it/ as I sing along. Never thought of doing actions...maybe I should try videotaping Smokey, Nox and the Bits to do a video.... --Fil >> Loved it! Thanks. >> Best wishes, [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > --Fil DH & I were watching some movie based in Los Vegas (Lost Wages for those of you who frequent there), and as he got up to get a snack, he started the Elvis song "Viva Los Vegas", but changed it to "Viva Los Weebles". I had to giggle. --? The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington!
