Nomm nomm breakfast

[supertinks]

Jamie and I just cooked a massive fry up and oh my god it was tasty. Sausages, bacon, black pudding, scrambled eggs, beans, toast, chips, and fried mushrooms. And tasty V8 fruit and vegetable juice.

I am absolutely stuffed.

And I am sad that I didn't have a camera handy, as Mr Fidget was demonstrating his amazingness really well, I bet none of the rest of you with cats can say with confidence that if you were sat at your dining table eating a meal, and your cat was sitting on the dining table as well, that your cat would completely ignore all the food that was on offer and sit quite quietly at the other end of the table out of the way.

Fidget was sitting across the corner where Jamie's drinks had to go, when I was laying the table. So I said to him "Fidget, you can't leave your bottom there you know" and he promptly got up, walked to the other corner of the table and sat back down, totally out of the way, and then sat very quietly throughout the meal. At one point he got up, but only to move into his bed which is on the table, and he curled up and went to sleep.

He is a professional cat!

See, I reckon a professional cat would have ignored you, protested at being moved, moved back the moment you took your eyes off him then sent his tail off to create a distraction while he piked your bacon, which he would then leave on the floor because he finally remembered he didn't in fact like bacon.

Mr Fidget sounds more like a professional dog :-)

you know, we quite often say that Fidget behaves very much like a dog, so maybe you're right.


its like those people who have gender reassignment surgery say they are men born in women's bodies etc. maybe Fidget is a dog born in a cat's body!

Heh. All the dogs I've met will sit and stare wistfully at you, desperately trying to convince you that they're *starving* if you have even so much as a packet of crisps.

Ash is kinda like a puppy (wags his tail when he's happy, follows people around a lot). Rat is of the above nature - she won't pike food, but she'll sit and stare at you like she's trying to imbed an idea in your brain through the power of thought!

Both cats will, however, wait until the plates are on the floor to eat any leftovers. :-)

see Fidget doesn't even do that. He just is not interested, full stop. He likes to know whats going on, and when we're cooking and stuff he'll watch and be like "ooh that smells interesting, what are you doing" but if you offer him any of it he just sniffs it and goes "no, its ok, I don't actually want to eat it, I just wanted to know what it was".

I could quite happily have left my plate on the table, gone back into the kitchen to get something and come back, in full knowledge that he wouldnt even have moved an inch closer to my plate.

yeah, he's like Tess. Older cats just don't seem so fussed.
