[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 411205, member: 1233"] Our cats have always been more people than my kids in many ways. The first cat we every had got our dog trained in how to open the drawer that the dog bones and cat food was kept in. She preferred eating out of the box because the bowl was on the floor just like the dog's bowl - and she was NOT a dog. So she taught the dog to grab the handle and pull it open. Then she would let the dog get two milk bones out. Just two - if the dog took three the cat went after her and took one away. She would push it under the couch in the other room so the dog couldn't get it - and then tell me when I got home. We didn't know what was going on for quite some time because the second bone was for closing the drawer wehn the cat was done eating. Only learned about it because one day the dog shut the drawer too early and the cat was inside it when I got home from school. Captain Morgan has a life goal. He wants to be Garfield. He will watch Garfield cartoons on tv - thank you has some videos and the cat is hooked on them like Garfield is his guru. After one episode where Garfield has Pooky in several scenes, Capn Morgan went and found a brown beanie baby bear and now it is his. He also LOVES only two people foods. Bread - regular or toasted, butter is okay but not necessary. The other food? Lasagna. If we have or make lasagna and he doesn't get some the entire house hears about it for two or three days. He sulks. He tosses things off of every flat surface (usually he just likes to weave around/through them - this is deliberate shoving them off done after he gets your attention. He also HATES it when my door is closed. I usually keep it closed because otherwise the kids and cat think it is their storeroom/playground. He sits at the door and gritches. Not a meow, or a whine, this funny noise that is sort of like a meow but not and is just griping. At 3 or 4 am, every single night, he launches his 15+ pound body at the door. HARD.
