Her latest antic is to race around the room at high speed.”
I’ve had a number of cats over the years and none did this until my current one. She flies through the room, leaps high enough to careen off the back of an upholstered chair and then continues to race back into another part of the house. It is just too weird. I also have to keep the bathroom doors closed because she has taught herself to turn the faucets on. Rather disconcerting when I forget and wake up during the night to the sound of running water.
Would love to know what is going on in her mind - or maybe not...
I have had many dogs thru the years that were scary smart. Outside of a strong instinct to survive, I have never really considered a cat’s intelligence.
But I’m learning. No doubt that they are pretty darn intelligent. When she wants to go outside, which she sometimes does, she starts jumping up to reach the doorknob.
It cracks me up!
