More Kitty Stories

This morning Kitty wouldn't stop meowing. She loves to wake us up in the morning, though we're not really sure why. She doesn't usually eat right away when we feed her, and we leave the door to our room cracked, so she can leave before we get up. She likes to play and everything, but a year and a half should teach her that the first thing Matt and I do in the morning almost NEVER includes fun play with the cat.

This morning she was especially excited to wake up, and I noted that it was at exactly 5:45, which is exactly the hour that Matt (therefore I do to...) wakes up every week day. She's so smart!!! She thought Matt's alarm didn't go off, and she didn't want him to be late for work. I'm telling you, she might actually be this sophisticated.

In other Kitty news, last night we heard a loud hiss, and we saw Cyrus run off, with something in his mouth, and Seiku wasn't far behind. They ran out of the kitchen and into their room. Matt found what they had - it was a grilled chicken wing. Kitty must have gone to get it from the BBQ pits (as IF we don't feed her enough!), and she somehow snuck it into our house, into the back of the kitchen. Then S and C must have seen her do that, and they stole it from her.

When S and C moved in (Thursday is their last day at Chateau Hildebrandt), Matt put up something like chicken wire on all windows and the sliding door and main gate. Now the cats can't get out, but somehow (she's brilliant, I swear), our Kitty found a way to push a piece aside with her little paw, and she goes outside. If they C and S were thinking properly, they would have collaborated with her, asking her to go to the BBQ pits and bringing back spoils for everyone. Now, everyone loses.
