Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2005how to create a kittycat explosion...
Just open a container of yoghurt (or of pudding) anywhere in the house... the cats will explode out of wherever they're hiding and stampede to the source of the sound. :) What's really funny is that they'll also come running at the sound of ANY opening foil packet, whether it contains food or not. I don't think they REALLY wanted to eat my new dishclothes... well, maybe they did but that's a different story (they're dishcloth theives of the first order!) What brings your cats running? ~Karen aka Kajikit Crafts, cats, and chocolate - the three essentials of life http://www.kajikitscorner.com *remove 'nospam' to reply LOL! In this house, anything that even remotely resembles the sound of shaking a container of dry cat food will bring you two mrrping striped companions. Case in point: my husband gave a vigorous shaking to the carton of Silk (soy milk -- an alternative to milk for the lactose-intolerant). Captain and Stanley practically TELEPORTED into the kitchen. DH thought it was so funny, he shook the living daylights out of the Silk just to see what the cats would do. They kept watching him, certain that this shaking noise was going to eventually lead to dishes of dry cat food being produced. A minute or two later, when he actually poured the Silk into his coffee, it had a foamy froth on top. SEVERAL minutes later, when I poured it into MY coffee, I got a layer of froth, too. And the poor kitties eventually went away bewildered, wondering what happened to the part of the process where they get fed cat food after being summoned by the sound of something being shaken. ;o) Poor guys. Good thing their dishes already had crunchies in them prior to all this.

I buy Silk too. Have you tried their chocolate flavor. They've come out with a soy yogurt now. I'll give you a review after I've tried it. Lactose intolerant too. Suz > Lactose intolerant too. So am I, and thanks for reminding me that I need to re-order DairyCare!

I used to take those, too, but I got tired of having to think about everything I put in my mouth ("Do I need to take a pill with this? Two? Three?"). The ease and convenience of this once-a-day preventative are unbelievable.

Mine rarely get canned catfood (or substitute, like the liquid left over from sardines or tuna), but they still think that any can-opening sound, whether it's the manual opener or one of those pull-tabs, needs investigating. They get quite disgusted when the can turns out to contain tomatoes, which is by far the most common outcome. -- Cheryl (snipped cute story) > What brings your cats running? > ~Karen aka Kajikit > Crafts, cats, and chocolate - the three essentials of life > http://www.kajikitscorner.com LOL The sound of *anything* crinkly. Waxed paper in boxes of crackers; chips, toilet paper, foil; the sound of the pantry door opening. The sound of the oven opening... well, that's just gotta be for Persia! Jill Jill > What brings your cats running? LOL. For Daisy, aka Miss Piggy, the crinkling of a Doritos bag. Katz, Doritos fan Heh. When I saw this title I thought of an explosion *away* and thought sneezes. Not now, because Pearl doesn't bat an eye, but it used to be if Grant and Sugar were sitting on me and I sneezed, it was like a kitty explosion. > Just open a container of yoghurt (or of pudding) anywhere in the > house... the cats will explode out of wherever they're hiding and [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > http://www.kajikitscorner.com > *remove 'nospam' to reply [[Heh. When I saw this title I thought of an explosion *away* and thought sneezes. Not now, because Pearl doesn't bat an eye, but it used to be if Grant and Sugar were sitting on me and I sneezed, it was like a kitty explosion.]] Oh, now if you want to create THAT sort of explosion, you could have cats in the same room as I am when there's a hockey game on TV. I've been known to cheer vigorously, and also protest referee calls vehemently, while watching a game on television. Ditto for my friend, Donna, the one I requested purrs for when her elderly cat went to the RB a few days ago. She coined the phrase "hockey wings" to describe the reaction of cats at rest when their Meowmy suddenly lets out a loud noise. :o) Well, Melody and Harmony, bless them, both had their hockey wings bestowed on them years ago. They're probably comparing notes at the RB right now with other kities whose Meowmies and Paws watched sports on TV. Captain and Stanley, on the other hand, haven't seen me watch a pro hockey game on TV yet, because the NHL is locked out in a labor dispute. So they haven't got hockey wings yet. However, that might change tonight. There is a rare televised road game for the Philadelphia Phantoms, our minor-league local hockey team, for which DH and I are season ticket holders. So the kitties are finally going to witness me in the act of watching a televised hockey game. This could be interesting. :oD I'll have to report later on how many cat-shaped dents in the ceiling DH has to repair. ;o) Donna, Captain, and Stanley hehheh. > [[Heh.

Smokey's hideous caterwaul that heralds the dawn. mmrrrRRRrrrrOWOWmrOWmryowYOWmrOW..... The others now know that when Smokey begins his tune, the humans will not be able to tolerate it long, and soon will be going to the kitchen to open cans of gooshy food and fill water dishes and kibble bowls. As for Smokey, what brings HIM running is a possible contact on the Sandwich Radar, and/or the pizza guy. --Fil >>>What brings your cats running? > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > --Fil When Tony decides it is time for canned food, he will come in and start campaigning. Whether he gets it or not, the other two come and watch in case he is successful in his campaign. I swear they know exactly what he is saying.

Refrigerator door opening 2. Paper bags crumpling. 3. The sound of bread going into the toaster. 4. Cupboard doors opening, especially those with squeaky hinges. 5.Plastic bags rustling. 6. "Kitty Breakfast/Kitty Supper!" 7.flour being brushed off a counter 8. The vaguest possibility of an insect sneezing 9.Milk being poured into my teacup. 10.The tea biscuit box being opened. If they haven't heard it before, it has at least the potential of leading toward a meal, or at least a kitty snack, and they follow it up. =o) Melissa >Just open a container of yoghurt (or of pudding) anywhere in the >house... the cats will explode out of wherever they're hiding and >stampede to the source of the sound. :) That's an *implosion* - an explosion is when half a dozen cats are quietly minding their own businesses in a fairly small area and something sends all six of them running at near Mach 1 in about eight different directions. >What's really funny is that they'll also come running at the sound of >ANY opening foil packet, whether it contains food or not. I don't [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >What brings your cats running? Any clattering of dishes or other kitchen activity brings Millie. Taking a bowl down from the caminet brings several more. Seating the can opener on a can of anything brings Millie, Ozy, and Avery, the last two only if they are inside. Getting four bowls down and lining them up on the counter brings about half a dozen (this is step one in *tuna*). Actually opening several cans of tuna brings all but one or two into the kitchen, some from hundreds of feet away outside. The other two usually show up within ten minutes or so. T.E.D.

Since I handle the cat boxes and DH does the gooshy food, nothing I do will cause one. For DH, on the other hand, leaving the house for even a short period and returning will cause cats to congregate. The little dears seem to believe that Mommy must have forgotten that she fed them before she went out and is now ready to be convinced that the kitties are starving. Regards and Purrs, O J
