Fuzzy
is my cat. He loves to climb out of my 2-story-high window
and roam free. When he gets hungry, he meows at the door and
I let him in. Every time he does this, I give him a treat
to reinforce his good behavior. Lately, he’s been going out
the window and waiting at the door shortly after escaping.
I think he’s caught on that he gets a treat every time he
does that. Cats are a lot smarter than you think, you know.
You may think you’re in control, but the cat has you tricked.
I think Fuzzy got the better end of the deal.
Fuzzy
is a professional napper. If he’s not outside, he’s nestled
on my fuzzy blanket purring away. Anyone who gets near him
when he’s cuddly gets a case of the “sleepies” and quickly
nods off to dreamland.
Fuzzy
likes flavored water, I’ve discovered. He doesn’t like the
water I put in his bowl. He prefers to drink from the toilet,
like most dogs; in the bathtub, sometimes while I’m taking
a shower; and out of dishes in the sink. But his favorite
place to get water is straight out of the cup I’m drinking
from.
