We used to have a half-Siamese (full of vinegar; acted like a full Siamese) who once did his very best to “tell” me about an earthquake that had occurred while I was out of the house. *Some* cats are blobs that sit around and do nothing but eat. (Hm, like some humans! LOL!) But other cats are loyal, smart and excellent company. (And good at “pointing” earthquakes!)
There is a requirement of the ‘Poodle Guild’ they know these things.... Trust me... I am around Rufus and Emma too much.
