d_ashley's blog post - other things about Baby...

since I had reposted the blog about Baby then I guess I will finish the story about her then.
Baby was quite adaptive in learning how to do stuff all on her own and quite unique to see, as I have been around cats all my life and some you teach and some just dont ever seem to get it but to say that Baby was adaptive in learning then I can say that she had figured out that the only way to get my attention as when she was outside was to climb up on the ledge outside the kitchen window and use her claws to scratch the window making a noise like freddy krouger in the movie "a nightmare on elm st."
heh, I could even hear that while at the computer with the headphones on. )
then she figured out how to open the bedroom door as it swings out and normally it wont stay open on its own just enough so as not to latch. now this was the coolest act that I loved to see as when she did this move. for it resembles a karate kick I guess and so with every morning when she has gotten me out of the bed we would head over to the door and without even waiting for me to push the door open she would without breaking stride use her front leg and "sidekick" the door open. as for me that was a cool trick as I would be right there with her and to look down and watch her leg fly off to the side without breaking stride like I had said was facinating to watch. indeed. the only way I can describe it in relation to what we would do is that while we approach a door and with out even slowing down just quickly reach out and hit the door so that it will swing open as we continue walking through it. now try this manouver sideways and on all fours. ) so now I hope that explains that one better now.
and so like I said she never quit learning to adapt. such as this winter I kept her locked indoors and she didnt mind but since she was being cooped up all day long she became more and more excited and happy to see me when I got home from work and so since I turn off the heat while Im away I developed a routine of quickly changing cloths in the bathroom right when I get home and so Baby couldnt wait for me to change any longer so she learned to jump up on the bathroom counter and stand on her hind legs so that she could hug me since I am at the counter anyways as I walk into the bathroom[the room is small mind you] then she learned to climb up and sit on my shoulder rubbing her head against my neck and head. now this you must know, and that she was about 7 years old during this winter and had never been up on my shoulders while I was standing up and moving around for cats dont like this at all and to get one to do this would be to train them at a early age. but Baby wasnt the one to settle into the usual stuff that most cats do anyways. )
and so Baby had become very proficiant in hunting and to my amazement it wasnt the big easy stuff like mice or rabbits but she would hunt moles the littlest of critters that dwell under the ground. wish I could have been able to follow her into the night to see and understand how she is able to find the moles.
now this last one will killya for not but just a couple of months ago she figured out how to open the kitchen drawer, clean it out, mostly small stuff, and then crawl through it so that she could get outside for there is a hole under the counter through the floor that she uses by pulling open the cabinet door to go through the hole. but it was winter and I had latched the cabinet doors shut. so she just simply pulled open the drawer clean it out and so that was that. problem solved.
and so like I said I shall miss her dearly...with all that she kept me in amazement with and more. )
sorry for all the typos but no time to reread its bedtime now. alone again tonight ohh did I mention that she would crawl under the covers to stay warm with me?? )
