You have to fit in with them as much as they do with you.K T Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10259428595745509790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22301740.post-28512835666049890472013-02-23T14:06:54.219-08:002013-02-23T14:06:54.219-08:00I had a cat (an Abyssinian--they're a little c...I had a cat (an Abyssinian--they're a little crazy) who not only could open the cabinet doors, but figured out how to open them after I put those little latches on the inside for earthquake preparedness. He hated cat kibble, but loved the dog kibble--he'd walk underneath the dog to eat or drink out of her bowl. He could only use the litter box once, after which it HAD to be scooped. (I had six little litterboxes to get me through the day.) He liked to sleep on my face, which frequently had me gasping for air.) When he wanted food, he wanted it NOW. NOW! NOW! He liked dogs, and I did take him on walkies, and a couple of times to the dog park. His name was from an Amharic word for honey, but I called him Ellerby--short for "Little Rat Bas***d." But I really loved him. He died a few months ago, and I still miss him terribly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22301740.post-48681271577203821842013-02-21T07:25:42.949-08:002013-02-21T07:25:42.949-08:00Yep, and cats have been doing the same things to u...Yep, and cats have been doing the same things to us for hundreds of years:<br /><br />http://quigleyscabinet.blogspot.com/2013/02/manuscript-moggy.htmltim eiselehttp://somethingscrawlinginmyhair.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22301740.post-17161090859808473822013-02-20T05:42:33.687-08:002013-02-20T05:42:33.687-08:00I love these cat stories.

She'll pluck at the bed right next to me. Before I can swat her, she's run off towards the door. A short range weapon like a spray bottle won't do.
