things we’ve discovered about juniper

March 13, 2009

Her fur has a kind of odd texture. Soft, but like a cheap stuffed animal.
She hisses at Sophie, but it is often preceded by a pig-like grunt. Normally, she's very quiet, but her regular voice sounds like a Tribble.
Somebody must have let her eat people food off the dinner table. She is terribly persistent. When she eats her own food out of her own bowl, she grabs a mouthful of kibble and turns away, dropping half of it on the floor while she eats it. No doubt from living in a trailer with 10 other cats
She loves her belly rubbed and gets very excited, then grabs her hind leg and chews on her toes.
She will sometimes chase her tail.
She is the only cat I've ever heard of that doesn't run to another part of the house when she hears the vacuum.
She must climb on everything, as high as she can go. It's like having a squirrel in the house.
She likes to chew on things — including large rubber or plastic things. She's been working on the side rails to the treadmill, which she can barely wrap her jaws around. It's like having a Kea in the house.
If she can't get her face in a beverage, a paw will do.

Super Science Fair Projects April 14, 2009 at 8:43 pm: Pets are very interesting to watch and try to understand. They also make a great test subject for science fair projects. Observational projects about pets can help students to better understand the similarities and differences pets have to humans.

Since this Fall, I have my own (I adopted a stray's litter that had been at my Mom's- all fixed now of course).

Their elegance is much appreciated. Having Dogs all my adult life (and still) I have missed such feline felicity :->
