Cats might be mental but they ARE good for something.

As I posted in my first post, I think cats are a little bit mental. They do on occasion prove useful however. Mainly due to the fact that they can jump and climb higher than me. In the past Rowdy, the siamese cat, and I have collaborated in theivery. This is his picture so you will know who to look for if things go missing from your pantry.

Our best joint effort was the time Rowdy climbed all the pantry shelves to get the cat biscuits and knocked the container down so I could get the lid off and we ate up all the biscuits for a snack. We were very kind we even shared with Rastus, our dalmatian brother. Rowdy still complains that he didn't get his fair share but I can't help it if he eats slow.

Today we collaborated again. My upright was fixing up her aquarium. It has been neglected in favour of agility, obedience and herding classes, which is as it should be. Apparently it's also due to grooming me every week which may be taking things a little too far. I'm happy to skip the grooming, no probleemo.

Part of the fixing up of the tank involved ripping out lots of overgrown plants and replacing them, which required a trip to the aquarium shop. She brought all the stuff back home and then rushed off to an appointment. So Rowdy helped out again. He jumped up on the aquarium and got down the new packet of fish food. Rowdy and I have done this before and I liked the fish food last time. The fish already had a little taste and they liked it a lot, so I figured it was probably pretty good.

It didn't take me long to get the packet open and finish all the food. Apparently it would have lasted the fish ages but they're littler than me, with littler tummies. When my upright got home she found the empty packet on the floor near my bed. I looked innocent and stared at Rowdy, he deserved it, he was complaining too much about me eating all the fish food myself.

But the ruse didn't work apparently I have "fish breath".

Oh well, at least it's not sheep poop breath. There were lots of dogs at herding eating it but I abstained because I'm a good girl. (Except for the fish food).
