A friend of mine in high school had a cat that would specifically ask for ham or milk. He would go, "Do you want ham?" and if the cat wanted ham, it'd go "AAAAAM?" And if it didn't say "AAAAM?" then he'd ask "Do you want some milk-milk?" and it would go "ILL-ILL!" Darndest thing I've seen.
oh Lana Turner we love you get up

Our cat Lilly will scratch on the floor around her bowl of wet food if there is a fair amount left and she doesn't want to finish it right then. I always figured it was some sort of instinct to try to bury or hide extra food so it could be eaten later. But now she's started doing it before she has a drink of water.

Chris' foolproof curry recipe:Lambchop wrote:Deej! Psst! Look! Curry . . . I bet he has a recipe . . .
Brown meat in pan
While meat is browning start a pot of rice cooking
Open jar of sauce
Add sauce to pan
Cover, then simmer until rice is cooked and serve.
I have occasionally tried cooking from scratch but even then I used a pre-prepared spice mix from a local specialist store instead of blending my own.

A small squirt bottle of water is an amazingly effective cat training tool when used judiciously. *Usually* the cat gets the idea that whatever they were up to just before the rude wetting is not something to continue, and they don't actually figure out who is responsible... that is... if you don't break into raucous laughter and make fun of the beast ... remember, cats are experts at wicked retaliation, so keep your mirth to yourself - practice looking totally innocent and keeping the squirt bottle inconspicuous. Set it to a thin stream for distance, or a wide spray for near targets, if you are already established as Alpha Cat.The_Celtic_Bard wrote:I just got a kitten well my brother did anyway, she is an adorable black calico named Kyo. I am very zealot about not declawing cats, so I am trying to convince my parents not to. Oh God I hope to God.
NOTE: Avoid spraying toward electrical outlets!!

Why build character when you already are one?
