Beats the heck out of looking at pics of John Kuthe's "creek" or paint
stained driveway any day. :)

LOL Buffy pays no attention to what is going on outside. (I'm waiting
for my stalker troll to chime in with a fake post.) She sits on the
back of the couch and a hummingbird will hover in front of her at the
window and she doesn't care. Ho hum.

More outdoor fun, a butterfly:

Really, watching wildlife right outside the window is soooo much better
than discussing paint. :)

OB Food: Grilled cheese sandwich on sourdough bread for lunch.

That's pretty odd for even a lifelong indoor cat not to do the
twitch and skittered meow when natural prey is outside. Did you also
say your cat doesn't eat human-cooked meat and fish?

Cat could be blind. They can hide that amazingly well.

Don't animals become like their owners? It's a biddy cat.

She turns her nose up at fishy cat food. I've never offered her
human-cooked meat or fish but she doesn't beg for anything I'm eating.
The exception would be ice cream or frozen yogurt. She starts talking
up a storm and tries to get at the bowl when I'm eating a couple of
scoops of Espresso Chip fro-yo. :)

She doesn't eat them. She can beg all she wants but I don't feed my cat
ice cream.

She's a weird cat. Doesn't pay attention to the birds outside. Doesn't
like fishy cat food. Isn't curious about anything I'm eating and doesn't
try to mooch of my plate. I do not feed her people food.

Persia was a different story. She once stole a burger. I set my plate
on the coffee table and walked a few feet away to grab a napkin.
Couldn't have been gone more than 30 seconds... came back and the
toasted bun was still there but the burger was gone. LOL Good thing I'd
grilled 6 of them! Those were the recipe for "Oriental" burgers my
mother had given me. It called for lots of filler ingredients including
chopped mushrooms and water chestnuts. Strange thing for a cat to go
for... oh wait, she was half Siamese. ;)

You can tell just by sniffing?
