Cats have a sense of humor. Isn\u2019t that one reason we keep them around? I can tell you that getting to know Olivia has been a blast and she has sure kept us entertained over these last 10 months. I wonder if cats know they\u2019re comical or if they\u2019re just being cats. Are they puzzled by our laughter?<\/p>\n
What are some of the things your cats do to make you laugh? Winfield used to drink water with his paw. Rather than lap up the water from the bowl, he\u2019d dip his paw into the bowl and lick the water off his dripping paw.<\/p>\n

during the game it\u2019s hilarious.<\/p>\n
Winfield used to check his kibbles bowl every night before bedtime. If it was full, he\u2019d go on to bed. If not, he\u2019d sit at the bowl, wait for one of us to walk past on our way to shutting down the house for the night, and he\u2019d alert us. \u201cHey look, I can see the bottom of the bowl. We need kibbles in here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once we\u2019d fill the bowl, he\u2019d walk away. I\u2019ve never known a cat to so blatantly plan ahead. Do cats really have that ability?<\/p>\n
I\u2019d allow Katy, my elderly Himalayan, yard time when I was outside. She pretty much stayed with me wherever I was\u2014always in the backyard. But occasionally, she\u2019d slip away and start to walk toward the front. I\u2019d call to her\u2014\u201cKaty, come back here.\u201d She\u2019d stop in mid-step, turn around and return. I guess she didn\u2019t want to lose outdoor privileges.<\/p>\n
Katy is also the one who would put me to bed at night. She\u2019d trot into the bathroom with me, then on to bed we\u2019d go. She\u2019d lay next to me on my pillow until I was good and relaxed, then off she\u2019d go to parts unknown as if her job was complete.<\/p>\n
