3421.0. " Hey, what up there?" by SALSA::DEFRANCO () Wed Mar 14 1990 11:25

    Sam was soooo cute last night.  John and I had just finished trimming 
    a dead branch off of a tall fig tree that we have in the living room
    and we were standing there looking "up" at what we had done.  In walks
    Sam, and guess what?  He starts looking "up" just like a person would
    do.  Every now and then I would look down at him and he would look at
    me.  As soon as I started looking up again, so would he.  
    
    Gosh, I wonder what was going through his mind.  I know what I was
    looking at but I wonder what he was looking at?  I swear he thinks he's
    a person and not a cat.

    P.S.  He's also been eating lots of people food lately.  Last week, he
    ate mushrooms, tofu and onions and of course his favorite, chillie!

3421.1OH... I'm just curious...USCTR2::EVIOLAWed Mar 14 1990 11:5915
    Yes..........I believe it has to do with their curiosity.....
    
    "They must - know all!"
    
    TV -- "What are ya doing?" --- "Where are ya going?"  -- "Can I have
    some of that?"
    
    What are they thinking?  {"I wonder what the heck she's looking at?"}
    			       all they do is go - go - go.  They talk to
    			       me and try to explain.... They must learn
    			       MY language.........MEOW talk!

3421.2FSHQA2::RKAGNOA Cat Makes a Purrfect FriendWed Mar 14 1990 12:3325
    Jeanne, I can't do *anything* without a cat accompanying me.  Kirby
    is the biggest pain, my husband always jokes about trading him in
    for another cat.  He has to see whatever I'm doing, if I'm cleaning
    the toilet, he's trying to hang over the rim, if I'm doing the bathtub
    or taking a shower, he's got his paws up on the end of the tub peeking
    in.  He hates to be alone, and will think nothing of destroying
    something to get our attention.  With him around, we need a squirt
    bottle in every room of the house.
    
    Murdock's curiousity always gets the best of him.  One Saturday
    morning, he got up on the dining room table and was looking up at
    the wicker chandelier.  Next thing I knew, he had his two front
    paws into it, jumped in the air, and starting swinging.  Well, it
    couldn't hold his weight, and both he and light came crashing down,
    sending the vase of silk flowers toppling over and skidding across
    the table.  Grrrrrrrrr.  And he didn't even learn his lesson!  Twice
    I have caught him trying to repeat this circus act.  He is never
    purposely destructive (like Kirby), he just wants to know about
    everything, and see what makes it tick.
