| IS IT TIME??? |
They both knew that the only time I entered the kitchen was to clean. Now I also go into the kitchen for their treats. So, if we haven't just finished a meal and I go anywhere near the kitchen, both cats come running. When I call them for treats, they go nuts. Dudo stands on his hind legs. They both "talk" to me non-stop until I place the plates on the floor.

| DUDO (BOTTOM) STARTS WITH THREE TIMES AS MUCH. HE FINISHES FIRST. THEN HE HELPS MOOSE. |
While I was at the hospital the other evening, San Geraldo gave them their treats. When he invited them into the kitchen, they looked at him like he was crazy. He asked them if they wanted treats and they both just tilted their heads at him. He took a can from the shelf and they still didn't have a clue. They didn't pay much attention until the can was opened. When I got home, they tried to convince me they hadn't yet had any.
DUDO AFTER TREAT.
After treats, they're both over the moon. They run circles around the house. Chasing each other or themselves... or their imaginary friends. They fly out the door to the terrace, return seconds later through a window, only to fly out still another window. They tease each other. They pounce. They wrestle. And then they sleep. They love my cooking.

Dudo and Moose - what STARS!

DeleteSo do I (obviously)...
'Fess up. You have some left over substances from the eighties and you have been mixing it in their food.
ReplyDeleteAndrew:
DeleteThat would be some shelf-life!
Wonderful! I just loooooove those little guys :)
ReplyDeleteJudeet:
DeleteThey are definitely entertaining (and adorable).
Krazy kitties! A recent visitor left Bert some nice dental treats and he loved them. Now that they're gone, he does not understand and comes to ask for them every day. I can't find the treats here (they're American), so I just started giving him some of his kibble, which seems to satisfy him. For now.
ReplyDeleteWalt:
DeleteThe other day, I was out of the canned treats. I gave them a stick trick that they both like. For the rest of the afternoon and evening, they still expected the canned treat and they let me know it.
Ours do the same thing.
ReplyDeleteThe minute dinner is over any trip into the kitchen brings the three of them running and yapping--yes, cats can yap--for treats!
Bob:
DeleteThe "yapping" is hilarious. Our other cats didn't do it.
Oh, they're wonderful! How smart, but also, how companionable. I didn't think cats would talk the way you describe them doing. It's great.
ReplyDeleteKristi:
DeleteMoose has a bit of a "mutter" that he does at times that's pretty funny. It's fascinating how many different vocalizations cats make (and some more than others).
I don't know what treats you're giving your kitties but, based on the results, I could use some.
ReplyDeleteStephen:
DeleteOh, if only life were as simple as that.
Cats at play, though their actions are predictable, are always so damn funny. I think part of it is that they seem to take all their frolics extremely seriously.
ReplyDeleteGreat music vid, by the way.
Raybeard:
ReplyDeleteWe come home and find them in any one dozens of the same positions, Still, without fail, we call the other to come and look. And I usually end up taking pictures. WE are so predictable.
cats are up to no good that's for certain.
ReplyDeleteSpo:
DeleteJust about always.
Our dog, Socks, continually astounds us. We were told by his breeder not to expect an overly playful pooch, as Scotties tend to be "rather reserved." Socks is not reserved. He is totally shameless. When I get home from work in the evening, he follows me up to my bedroom while I change into sweats and then lays on our bed, on his back, legs splayed like a cheap pickup. He is used to getting a belly rub from me and assumes the position EVERY night now.
ReplyDeleteMaria:
DeleteWe should take great pride in the fact that we can be so easily trained.
It goes to prove that you can't give Spanish Fly to the cats as a substitute for treats.
ReplyDeleteRaulito:
DeleteBut the cats aren't complaining...
