FUZZY, THE PROFESSIONAL NAPPER

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.
