"I'm sure he thought I had made the mess." Probably not. According to Peaches, cats don't have a word for "mess" in cat language. Their frame of reference is the jungle, and things are where they are in the jungle...if something gets knocked over, it is just in a new resting place. "I thought he was just being grateful, but now you tell me it was because he forgot it was there. (Wow! Look! SOmeone left food out! Neat!)" As I said yesterday, cats don't comprehend where we get their food. So, it is not that he forgot it was there, he just does not expect it to be there. Some cats don't comprehend the idea of owning humans or training them at all, no doubt Blue is one of those. Others don't agree with it. According to Peaches, there has been somewhat of a controversy for about 8,000 years about the advisability of cats owning humans. A lot of Cats think we are utterly untrainable. Those who think we are trainable have to respond to critics who question what it is we have been (or can be) trained to do (verb tenses get confusing here, since cats do not comprehend future or past tense) -- producing food on a regular schedule the way we do it is considered rude by most cats...as I explained yesterday, so you can see the difficulty.
