You can never have enough...

[Lilith7]

Some of us are just harder to train than others. I am still resisting the 'breakfast at 4am'  lessons.

I know that feeling - I have the two alarm system, Madame Le Cat & Madame Le Dog. The latter sits beside the bed (handy for cold nose on human treatment) while thatbloodycat walks up & down the bed, with special attention to the bit the human is in. She's been known to jump from the dresser onto the hapless human's head...
Sometimes, I wonder why the hell I got a cat.

And then I remember the gleam in her eye when I went to look at her..

Good morning from freezing Hawke’s Bay - string cold winds yuk

We had a magnificent huge Abyssinian called Asher who demanded his fresh fish was heated slightly in the microwave - he too liked to eat in the early morning - at first he tried head butting my son who was unlucky enough to have the bedroom next to the kitchen - he was a big cat and his head butts were not able to be slept through - if that didn’t work he would head out to the kitchen and stretch up and repeatedly ping the microwave door - the longer he was kept waiting the more incessant the pinging became - the staffis would start whinging as they knew there was about to be much shouting about who should get up and feed that bloody cat .The old boy shifted the microwave up higher and the evil sod worked out he could jump on the top of the fridge and still reach the microwave .
Unfortunately he developed feline aids and we really missed him .

What an intelligent cat - he sounds like quite a character - makes me resolve never to have an Abyssinian cat, this one's bad enough.
