Our daughter's former cat, who came to us in January, '08, has developed a new "thing". He is age seven, and has spent most of his seven years living outdoors. Now that he is with us he is 100% an indoor kitty.
About a week ago, he picked up a new (cute?) habit. Every time we sit at the table to eat, he sits at the opposite end, all prim and propper. He doesn't eat people food - he just sits and watches.

As John Wayne once said: "Life's tough. It's even tougher if you're stupid."
