you know they are going to make a slave of him, don't you?
I'll relay a funny story about my cats...
My 22-pound orange kitty, Tomas, would deliberately swat the vertical blinds next to my side of the bed until I woke up. He wanted breakfast, you see, and my being asleep interfered with his eating schedule.
He tried it on my husband after I flew out here, and received a blast from the squirt bottle. After a few days of wet fur, he stopped.
The other day, my husband watched him slink into the room, get up on the nightstand, tap the blinds, then bolt for the safety of the door where he peeked in to see if hubby had woken up.
Smart kitty!
