Our TV Watching Cat

Now maybe some of you have animals that do this but I never have…and I've had lots of pets in my life time.

Our little cat, Uku has recently decided that the TV is a pretty interesting thing. She seems to really like sports. I guess it's because of the fast moving action across the screen that catches her eye, or something like that.

Here's a picture of what really got her interested inTV, the Olympics.

Uku Watching TV

 

Her favorite seems to be Bobsleding and Ice Hockey. Although most anything that has a lot of movement will get her attention.

Anyone else have a pet that like to watch TV?

Oh, Come On Fargo

As you might have read in past posts, we have been going to training class with Fargo and he has shown to be quite quick at picking up things.

At home, for the last several weeks we’ve been working with Fargo to get him to ring a bell at the back door to let us know that he needs to go out.  Currently he goes to the door and will either just stare at it or sit there waiting for us to come open up the door.  When he does this, we go over and show him the bell and get him to sniff it or to paw it to show him that he needs to ring the bell.  We’ve also tried putting peanut-butter on it to get him to mess with it but so far, no such luck.  Fargo just has not grasped the idea…at all…not an inkling that the light bulb has even flickered on this, but we keep trying.

Tonight for the very first time, we were sitting at the dinner table and what did we hear?  Why it was the bell!  Oh my goodness, could it be?  Did Fargo finally understand to ring the bell to go out?  Could we be that fortunate after all these weeks?  Sigh, why no! Uku, our cat, rang the bell to go out! We haven’t even been showing the crazy cat what the bell is for!

Sigh, Fargo, you’ve been shown up by the cat….who got to go out!
