Rainbow boys Wesley and Milo both insisted on middle of the night feedings but insisted I walk them to their bowls so I moved the bowls into the bedroom. That didn't work either so I brought in the bag one night to see what would happen since they always attacked the bag of kibble as soon as I brought it in if I left it on the floor. Silly kitties. That did the trick.
The night I adopted my late cat Pepe he was wandering around and doing just fine. Then later I couldn't find him and it was time for me to go to work. I was so frantic and I called my manager and explained what was going on and said I couldn't come in. I tore the house apart looking for him and went around the block knocking on doors and asking neighbors. I eventually found him in the strangest of places... He was curled up sleeping in a pot inside a cabinet in the kitchen! Silly kitten made me miss work but he was so adorable that I forgave him of course.Raise your hand if you ever find your kitties in just the strangest of placesyou know underneath a box spring mattress there's a thin felt-like cloth running the whole of it? Well there's a hole in mine, so if it gets really quiet around here I've found that's where she's sneaking around. I can't fit under the bed so it takes a few minutes to coax her out of there!
Oh my gosh how adorably scary! And maybe he was being sneaky on purpose because he just wanted to spend more time with youThe night I adopted my late cat Pepe he was wandering around and doing just fine.

Hahaha! Maybe! I miss my Pepe. He grew up to be a big tough guy. He would beat up the neighbor's cat and would even bring me that cat's collar sometimes as a trophy! Needless to say, my neighbor and I weren't on very good terms. Pepe would bring me all sorts of wildlife too, and even sticks and flowers. He was an awesome cat.Oh my gosh how adorably scary!

I love the idea of a cat bringing gifts. Carrot's gifts are always just the toys that he has, but I always praise him for being my best indoor hunter.Hahaha! Maybe! I miss my Pepe.

(And this was years ago before I became a vet tech and learned about proper care for cats. My cats now are all indoor only and if any one of them got out and beat up a neighbor's cat I would be mortified. But I was young when all this was going on and I found it hilarious. Oh, the follies of youth.)
I don't think Winnie has quite learned her name yet. We will continue to practice and in the meantime I'll have to keep coaxing her out if I need to until she finds a new super secret hidey-hole@Margd

Thank you for your kind words. Da Bird's pieces are currently resting on the mantel. Eclipse came in the living room sniffing the air with his eyes closed trying to fine it. So cute, he usually does it outside when he sits on the fence.
Fluffy has a hiding place upstairs. I have no idea where it is. She usually comes out if she hears her name.
Aw! He really loved you and brought you lots and lots of gifts! :lol3:Hahaha! Maybe! I miss my Pepe. He grew up to be a big tough guy.

My kitten doesn't seem to know her name yet either. Carrot responded to his from early on, but Angua doesn't. I think she's probably just stubborn. I make sure to say her name when I feed her and when we play so that she'll associate it with good things.
That's so cute! I used to tell my rainbow cat Milo the story of how he was adopted. He would rest his head on my shoulder and I would start. "Once upon a time there was a ginger tabby. And he lived in a shelter. And....etc."I sing to her all sorts of silly tunes with her name: Winnie the Cat (to the tune of Winnie the Pooh haha) etc.

Apparently they just really love their wet food more. Or just want to bother you and get your attention whether they have food or not. Crazy cats.
The smartest cat I've ever had refused to answer to his name. He showed how intelligent he was in a million different ways so I figured he must have known it. He just would not answer to it. A rebel at heart.
Tell me, too! Chula comes to "Chula" or "Paul" but Paul won't come to either one!
