I got these cute little cat bowls from Walmart for $4 each. Now everyone has a bowl and there's no fighting. Right? Except on Friday night they started playing musical bowls. "This one is my food, and this one is my food too." There's more than enough for all of them.

When Gemma was a baby, if I put her down for 30 seconds to go to the bathroom, she'd start screaming like she'd been abandoned. Now, If I even try to pick her up, I'm infringing on her civil liberties. And while Noel was a bit more ndependent as a kitten, he's just as bad, and he's got this lawyer on speed dial!

He may act like a goof ball, but Noel is really, really smart. Most cats have a human vocabulary of about 300 words. I'm pretty sure he knows more. The other night, something was beeping, and I couldn't track it down or figure out what it was.

"What's beeping?" I asked him. "I know you know because you're a nosey little bu**er and have to check everything out."

He went and lay down on a pillow on the bed. I checked underneath and there was my phone, beeping, because the battery was going and it wanted to be plugged in. See, I knew he knew.

There's this cat on the internet whose Mom made him a talking board to communicate with. He lets her know when things need to be done, like litter box clean up. Noel does not have a talking board, but he lets me know when things need to be done anyway, and tonight he pointed out that the drinking fountain needed attention. So while I had it pulled apart I noticed the filter was looking groddy, so I opened the cabinet to get a new one out. Mr. Curiosity here had to stick.his nose in to see what I was doing, and he found...the slotted spoon! I've never had a cat obsessed with a kitchen utensil before, but the slotted spoon is paws down Noel's favorite. In fact it's on his list of top ten favorite things. So I had to juggle getting the filter, and the cat, out of the cabinet while attempting to keep the slotted spoon in it. Anyway, drinking fountain is fixed, and Noel is fairly content (but probably missing his beloved slotted spoon.)

I know, my cat follows me to the bathroom isa popular theme. My cats usually don't. I litter box train them int he bathroom so they know what goes on in there. We are all doing the same thing. But following me to the bathroom as become Noel new obsession. He will come in, noticeably agitated and swirl around my legs, and if I take too long, he will start scolding me. He wants to watch me flush the toilet. He likes to watch the water. It's his new thing. I'm going to be in real trouble if he figures out he can flush the toilet on his own.

This boy...I swear. Usually, Noel follower me around all day, learning to "human". Yesterday, I went to feed the feral cats, and he vanished. Now he never goes outside, or if he does, he comes right back in because he's a scaredy cat, but you can never be sure. So, I called for him - but no response. Tried clicking my tongue and all the usual ways I call him, no response. Tried shaking the Temptations. Gemma came running, but no Noel. All day, no Noel. I was really beginning to worry, that maybe he'd gone out, vanished under the porch - but then I figured he'd come home when he got hungry. It wasn't until sundown that he came out from his hiding place and jumped up on the bed. He never left the house he was just being evol.
