Neat little story about two cats

[lucyrima]

Long ago we had a Maine Coon, Squeak (her pic is here in another thread) who jumped onto the stove and burnt her paw a bit, Months later we got a few-months-old Russian Blue we called Plato and one day Plato jumped up to the stove, but Squeak yelled (yowled?) at him and gave him a push away from the element. Almost gave her a medal for that one. It was very clear she warned him off and he never did it again!

Wow! Good for Squeak.

Thank you so much for sharing this, it absolutely made my day

Might as well mention that Plato was also special (they all are of course) and would walk outside with me (resid. street/park down the block) and no leash, so we went lots of interesting places within a few sq. blocks. I miss him ... at least as much as all the others to be fair, but sometimes a little more. Once he got his nose stung by a bee and it just killed me waiting for him to recover - in a few minutes, but it felt so long! Once someone's wolf mix dog came along and wanted to get at him, but while it had me plastered up against a low rock wall, it couldn't get at Plato, who'd jumped up to the higher part of the wall and just looked down at the creature who thankfully took off in a few minutes.

Could someone please tell me (I'm still pretty new here) why my orig. note re Squeak's stove warning was moved to another forum (which one plse?) as I don't yet know the rules and don't want to mess up.
Thanks!

Hi - when moderators move a thread the intention is to have it in a more representative section of the site. When they do this there will be a pm message that will tell you where it was moved to and why. Click on the little envelope icon in the heading bar above and look to the right, that's where private messages/conversations are.

Presenting... Plato

 

[lucyrima]

And the last two - Angel, and of course Ecco, who you all have heard about too much

Oh and Cody + Jesse (or are Sammies not allowed here?)

 

[lucyrima]

Did I make a big faux pas here? Thx - not sure of the rules re doing this.

Did I make a big faux pas here?

By posting the dogs in this thread? I don't know how strongly the mods feel about one picture, but you could start a thread about them in the Other Pets and Animals forum

Ok thanks again, don't want to start more, it just seemed mean to not include them in my list.

Love the story of Squeak warning Plato about stove. Cats are so smart.
