"Pet Tails": The Instigator

My cats are quite an interesting cast of characters. They have their own unique personalities. And of course....someone has to play the part of the instigator.

Now, I have written before how Sylvester will frequently appear out of no where when I am opening a package of sliced meat. This also has unintended consequences.

Oh, and it doesn't just apply for sliced meats. :)

For instance, on a break from work today when I stopped by the apartment I went to grab a snack. Thought I'd open the box of Froot Loops that I had gotten at the store, and was gonna get myself some to take into work to snack on. I had the box and was starting to open it.

At the same time I looked around and saw the cats here: my girls were laying over on a storage tote looking out a window, Porkey was laying on top of a cat jungle gym just behind the couch which is right behind me nearby my kitchenette area. Whiskers was laying on the bed, which I could see from where I was standing at at the counter. Sylvester? laying in an overturned clothes basket inside the bedroom to the left. Out of sight.

I grabbed the plastic bag inside the box of cereal and proceeded to open it.

RRRRiiiippppppppp!!! Apparently it made the same sound as a opening of a plastic pak of meat. Becuase before I knew it I heard him meow outloud, and come a running out. Had to see what I was doing. What I was getting. And if he coudl get any. As I proceeded to open it he kept on meowing and talking and calling out to me. As if to say "Jay, gimme some of dat!!" I tried to tell him to be quiet or the othe cats would begin to think that I had something for them....

Too late. The girls were now focused over looking at me. Porkey was awake and looking my way. Whiskers was awake on the bed staring at me, and then jumped off and proceeded to waddle his way out. haha.

Sylvester does this every time. Anytime he thinks I have something for them to eat...even when I DON'T....he'll get to talking. I dont speak cat talk too often, but I think part of that has to mean that he is trying to convince the other cats to come by.

It's as though he's calling in the reinforcements. Figuring if they all gathered around and looked sad...that I would have to give them some of whatever it is. And if its nothing for them to be eating....

Then I should get them something.
