Sharing

If your cats are like my cats then the younger one doesn't know the meaning of SHARING. My little Wiggles just cannot stand it when Tyler has something he doesn't. They each have their own food bowl with the same food in it, but when Tyler starts eating, Wiggles will come, push him out of the way and start eating. So Tyler will reluctantly, but very sweetly go to Wiggles' bowl. You'd think Wiggles would be satisfied, but NOOOOOOOOO. Wiggles must then go and see what is different in the other bowl and commences to push Tyler out of the way again. So they both end up eating out of their own bowls in the end, but only after a lot of pushing (done by Wiggles).

A similar thing happened just happend two nights ago. Tyler found a piece of ribbon on the floor. He started being cute and playing with it. He was jumping up in the air, rolling onto his back, well, being cute, when what does Wiggles do? Guess. If you said, he very rudely came over to Tyler and sneakily took the "toy" away from him and started playing with it himself, then you were exactly right. Wiggles really needs a lesson on sharing.

They are my little brothers that are so cute, sometimes a little annoying and other times they just have to be all around your legs and almost trip you. They are still learning right from wrong, there are times when they get in trouble with my dad and there are the other times when they are just the perfect little angels. And they are still learning just like we are.

Cats and Earthquakes

There is a great question about cats and earthquakes. Can they predict them cant they not? Some people say yes, they are sensitive to vibrations of the earth and don't like it so they make a noise or go and hide. Others say it is because, cats have an advance warning system and they respond to changes in static electricity. But we don't know which if any of those hypothosis are correct.


Recently in where my family and I live (in Southern California) we had a pretty big earthquake. Where we live it is quite wierd, we can acctually hear the earthquake coming before it hits. Just a low rumbling, but still we know that one is coming.


Anywho my mom heard it first while we were eating lunch. She looked over at me, but I didn't hear anything and neither did the kittys. A few seconds later she said "I think we are having an earthquake." At that very instant I heard it. And what do you think the kittys were doing? SLEEPING!! There ears weren't even flicking. Then when it hit our house (it lasted for about 5 whole seconds) the cats jumped down from the couch started meowing, trying to be heard over over the noise. Even after it passed our house we could still hear it for another full 5 seconds more. The cats tails were huge and they were bumping into the walls blindly and meowing all the while, but then as soon as it was over they just ate some food, said hi to the litter box and went back to sleep.

So now I don't know about cats and earthquakes. Can they really sense them or is that just a fable? Then how do you explain the other stories about cats and earthquakes? Or maybe my cats, (as smart as I think they are) just don't have that earthquake-sensing-capability.
