My son says my cats have ME trained

[Medusa]

Every morning I make a cup of coffee and heat the skim milk in the microwave. Coco Puff loves warm milk . (I know, most people think cats are lactose intolerant but none of mine suffer any symptoms whatsoever. They ALL love skim milk.) I always pour some in a saucer and blow on it to make sure it isn't too hot for his cute little meezer lips. My son walked in and saw me doing that and said "Boy, do they have you trained. I asked what's for breakfast and you said there's cereal in the cupboard but your cats get special treatment. I see how it is around here." He was kidding, of course, but he may have something there. Whaddaya think?

YOU SHOULD EXPLAIN TO YOUR SON THAT HE HAS TO LEARN TO BE SELF RELIANT WHERE AS THERES NO WAY A CAT CAN GET THE MILK OUT OF THE FRIDGE OR SKIM IT FROM THE COFFEE!!!
I AM THE SAME AS I CANT WALK PAST THIER BOWLS WITHOUT SEEING IF THEY NEED REFILLING OR WHETHER THE WATERS FRESH IN THIER BOWLS.
AND WHEN I TAKE A PIECE OF CHEESE OR DELI MEAT TO SNACK ON, I ALWAYS, ALWAYS BRING EXTRA AS I KNOW THAT THE LUCKY FOUND CATS, ESPECIALLY SCRAPPY ANGEL AND SCRAPPY 2 WILL WANT SOME TOO!!!
I GUESS I AM AS TRAINED AS PAVLOVS DOG!!!

My son says my cats have ME trained!

Just remind him that HE had you trained when he was that size, too!

[Medusa]

Yeah, he was just kiddin'. Actually, he offers to make me breakfast when he visits. He's a good boy.

LOL! Howard and Luna would like to say that your cats did a fantastic job of training you

As for the lactose intolerance, neither of mine show symptoms of this either. Although I never give them large quantities. Howard loves ice cream. Whenever I have some, he always helps me "wash" the dish afterward. And Luna loves cheese, but only mozerella cheese. She can be asleep at the other end of the house, but if I open the fridge and take the cheese container out, she's immediately sitting at my feet, balanced on her hind legs, meowing, and acting as cute as she possibly can...so I HAVE to give her a small piece (now keep in mind that I keep the cheese in an ordinary plastic container, identical to plastic containers I keep other, non-cheese stuff in...but Luna only comes for the cheese container opening. Somehow she can tell the difference )

As for my personal training, Howard has me trained to wake up a half hour early every day so he can get in a good, long massage/petting before breakfast.

*snicker* Tell your son that kitty can't fix his own!
