Friend Jill saw him coming across the back yard with a stick in his mouth and wondered aloud what he was doing - cats don't fetch sticks they thought. Curious, they watched as he stuck the stick into a mole's tunnel. Then he waited. Soon the stick wiggled, cat struck, and up he came with a mole! As you say, they are intelligent.Barbee'https://www.blogger.com/profile/11316077390373348067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218275625589637009.post-1732812270171581982008-04-22T16:58:00.000-05:002008-04-22T16:58:00.000-05:00Barbee--I did a lot of research before getting a c...Barbee--I did a lot of research before getting a cat and read that manx are known to fetch and retrieve as well as open doors via the door knob.

I did a post about him in the cat section of my web site. Being presumptuous here, but anyway I will leave the link if you are curious. Not the best writing in the world. <BR/>http://aclowderofcats.blogspot.com/2005/07/buster-and-mademoiselle-jade.html<BRBarbee'https://www.blogger.com/profile/11316077390373348067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218275625589637009.post-47021299001176825012008-04-14T18:35:00.000-05:002008-04-14T18:35:00.000-05:00Frances--oh I've course I've read her!

(At least the dog has the decency to head for a hard surface like the kitchen tile or hardwood as opposed to the priceless oriental carpet or Navajo rugs.) My own longhaired twins, Linus (looks) and Layla (brains) have a birthday this month, and I'm trying to settle on appropriate celebration activities. But I'd never, ever dare to try party hats!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
