Late at night when Mamma is sleeping…
Austin from Austin Towers gave Kajsa and Tessa an important advice:
Take it from me! Never underestimate a human!! Was my big mistake!
Tonight, Kajsa and Tessa taught me a lesson: never underestimate a cat!
I was profoundly convinced that they couldn’t open zippers. I was also sure that they would stay away from this bag. It’s the Evil Backpack, where I keep their antibiotics and ear drops. They normally have to sit on this bag when I treat them. (Yes, we were seeing the vet, they need twice a day antibiotics and ear drops, in addition to the ear cleaning. Sigh.)
Well, think again. It was a huge mistake to keep the rewards they get after the treatment in the very same bag.
So who’s to blame? I don’t know for sure, but I think it was Tessa. I know, in comparison to Kajsa, she seems to be sooo cute and kind. Truth is, she’s a sly cat, and shamelessly using her innocent reputation for her own purposes. She’s curious, stubborn and crazy about treats. I should have known that; after all, she fooled me before.
… and bossy Kajsa? She is doing her best to hide her cute and needy sides on this blog, but she needs her Mamma quite often. Ok, I admit: I need my little baby as well.
Last, but not least: I’m actually glad that this happened. They only got some treats, and if I’m unlucky, they swallowed small pieces of the packaging. Ok, I’m convinced (here we go again – do I ever learn??) that they wouldn’t eat their medicine. My first attempt to give them their antibiotics was bloody. You can probably guess who was bleeding, and no, I’m not only talking about my heart. However, I really need to find a safer place for their medicine!

Oh yes, the sneaky girlcats have outsmarted their servant. No surprise there. Zippers – no problem: teeth see to that! Hehehe. Well done girls.
But do something about your Mamma’s imagination – seems like she has weird dreams. But good for her to dream about Stran! He was the bestest buddy a cat, or human, could ever have had.

(I was only yesterday thinking about ordering activity toys for them. You know these “intelligence toys” stimulating your cats mentally. I don’t really think they need one, I can make up challenges myself.)
Stran seemed to be an adorable cat! I’m currently reading your old posts, that’s why I probably dreamt about him.

Little tinkers! Cats will outsmart us every time even if we are as clever as Einstein (who, incidentally, was a cat lover)!

He. I sometimes call Tessa “my little Einstein”. I didn’t know that he was a cat lover!

Well done, girls ! You’re training your human very well ! Purrs

Thank you! We were really enjoying her face when she came to the kitchen that morning. /Kajsa and Tessa

Such cuties 🙂 Clearly you have a mouse problem- just kidding.
May 20, 2015 @ 09:27
Hehe. Yes, I have. Many things are disappearing here.

I am very pleased to see the girls took my advice to heart!! MOL
The Staff here says welcome to the club – the being-outsmarted-by-the-kitty one! 😉

Haha! They love you, Austin! I denied them reading your blog, but it somehow shows up in my browser history??

MOL! When treats are involved…where there’s a will, there’s a way. 🙂

Indeed. I learnt a lesson, I really did. Tessa has been interested in the fridge recently. I really hope she doesn’t get how to open it.

OOPHS! Long ago when I had cats, I was amazed they could open the screen door to the patio if I didn’t lock it. They never learned to close it behind them though, lol.

Uff. I hope they never learn how to open doors!!!
