They're too smart for my own good...

So, I'm sitting at the computer today, and there's three cats arranged on the set of shelves that were originally intended for my fabric hoard, but have become a sort of kitty bunk-bed.

"Aw man, will ya look at the time...this FARK website absolutely sucks it up like a black hole!"
Click...click...I've assigned a wav file from Monty Python's The Holy Grail to 'Close Windows'.

HELP! HELP! I'M BEING REPRESSED!

Finnegan stands up, yawns, stretches, mrrrowps? at me and prepares to accompany me out of the room...and it occurs to me he's been doing this for quite some time now.

He recognizes this particular wav file as the conclusion to me sitting at the computer...
and that now we're going to go do something else.

How much else of their intelligence and responsiveness am I taking for granted and not appreciating?
They amaze and humble me...:blush:

1. It is scary how they can read us so well.....

I walk in a certain direction and my German Shepherd and 2 cats are under my feet, anticipating where I am going..

I just think about cutting the cats' claws, go into the bathroom to get the clippers...and when I come out...the cats are nowhere to be found.

2. My dogs are attuned to two distinct sounds:

The click when I turn off the TV and the noise made when I put the footrest down on the recliner. Both sounds indicate that I'm mobile. :)
