Thanks for the smiles all... some happy stories and visions of your cats doing these various antics made my (otherwise rather crappy) day!
Cram and Kristen7 - that's funny, my Luna is much like that... when I get home she's all quiet until I look at her and say "are you gonna say Hi?" and then "Meeeeeoooooooow!"
Cyber - holy, trilingual IS a great trick, I'm not even trilingual!!
Pappillonmomma - too funny about the moooom and seat stealing! Mine won't trick me on purpose, but sometimes when I vacate a warm spot she's right in there with a
'what? you left.' self-rightous look.... and she's right.
Jiorji - some cats vacuum up meals like dogs... A friend nick-named her cat 'hoover' because of that!
Dogastrophe - I have to fess up, there were a LOT of treats used to encourage the kisses I get... and 'lie down' usually still requires one. Mind you, now when I'm holding a treat I get about a dozen kisses, no matter what I'm actually asking of her! Pretty cute stuff.
THANKS again for the smiles!!
