After all, we are very important, possibly the most important parts in their environment, especially around meal time, so they probably study us very carefully, perhaps even more so than other humans around us.

He always knows when my daughter is coming to pick me up and he's included - he loves to go for a ride in the car. As for the vet - yeah, he kind of knew something was up.

Some dogs and cats can co-exist, but not all.<br /><br />Normally when I came home, the cat would follow me about until I settled down somewhere and that meant lap time. However, when I brought her home from a trip to the vet, she would disappear for several hours before she deigned to come out and bless me with her presence.

It's just with my dogs who attack cats (I got to pay a neighbor's vet bill-bad story) and my guinea pigs and bird who might not be safe from cats, they are probably not a good fit right now. I do love them, though.<br /><br />Cats are certainly very clever and let you know when they are displeased.

I've made two other posts that have similar parodic verse.<br /><br />Are cats smarter than humans? I think the answer is obvious.<br /><br />Dogs are finally catching on as they slowly adopt the cat life style and move out of the "working for a living" pattern.

Hmmm. Cats, btw, a smarter than humans. Really! I have three rescued feral cats who outsmart me everyday, but that might say more about me than them.RTDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113953356514605424noreply@blogger.com
