Uhhh….what? *grin*
Have you had any coffee yet?
By the way, the rabbit parents have waved back at you, in the comments of my most recent post.
I’m not sure they should be encouraged in their eccentricity, but alas, I don’t think I can do anything about it….
If you have a cat door though the rabid flying raccoons can get in and eat your face off.
I don’t speak cat. But it would be cool if I did.
My boy cat wakes me up every morning with a “Mrow!” Usually with a ‘feed me’ tone to it. I haven’t had an alarm clock in years.
Linkmeister or he could use his teeth.
i have come to understand pretty much what kitty is saying, which is neat. the problem is he habitually decides he needs ‘outside’ around 4-5 AM and back in around 6 (for this he bangs on the door rather insistently — the screen is loose and he bats at it until you get up and let him in). this is waaaaaaaaay before i get up. as if my sleep pattterns weren’t already messed up enough.
Our eldest cat is getting needy as the weather cools. She meows at me almost continually: lap! lap! lap!
well, kitty’s not much for laps, though he likes to be near feet. however he’s very talkative when he firsts get back in the house, i imagine he’s just saying, hi, how’s it going, i missed you, things of that nature.
he’s not much for being petted, he likes to control the interaction. but he’s trained us quite well, we pretty much do as he asks.
Cats don’t have exclusive rights to the banging on doors; my pointer dog does the same thing. If I’m not quick enough, Tigger just whacks the screen to get my attention. It’s better than a 2×4, I suppose.
You could turn him into a house cat.
a possum? that might prove difficult.
also fully mature third generation ferals (we have a few in the area) aren’t particularly tame-able.
Cat flaps are excellent – I’ve had one ever since our dog devoured the contents of the litter tray one night and threw up all over the sitting room >:( Thankfully rabid raccoons aren’t a problem here
the only thing i’d worry about, is possums. we have those. oh, and feral cats. we have those too.
i don’t know if they’d be bold enough to come in the house, but if it smelled like food …
