My family already had the cats when I came here... they seem sneaky but as long as they don't get in between me & my petting time I guess I won't have to step on them (snickers) But.. ahh.... cat food does hold my intrest.... That succulant smell.. I always hope that a kitty kibble will fall from the counter my way....
There's also a boa constrictor that comes out of the tank from time to time. I try to smell it but I'm not allowed to, so instead I just watch the strange moving rope as it's transfered here and there. I can't help but laugh when the snake gets fed though. That border collie "Zip" goes nuts since the boa is large enough to eat fresh road kill squirrels! Zip keeps thinking the squirrels are for her, and instead they are given to the snake.

Well, there's been a new development. My family has added a mini rex rabbit to the house. At first I thought hmm.... it's smaller than the cats... and moves too! The small creature isn't afraid of me - aren't these things made for dogs to chase??? Instead I find that when I go into the computer room, the rabbit jumps up to race towards the cage wire to greet me. I can't help but sniff back as our noses touch. I nearly fainted when I came in from the yard to find the cage empty one afternoon!! Where was my bunny?! My little sniffing pal?! I looked through the house frantically before going back to the empty cage again. I then looked to my humans to ask them with a demanding 'WOOF'.... "Where is the bunny?!' before going back through the house to look... coming back to the empty cage... Geeze...
Later that afternoon I find out that the bunny went to work & then to the vet to be checked out for sneezes.. I hope its not allergic to the cats..
Of course a few days later after supervising the changing of the rabbit cage litter I notice a new litter being put in. This one doesn't make my bunny sneeze. I know that technically it's not really MY bunny but since its cage is near my bed in that room..... I just know eventually I'll get to play with the bunny.... maybe for xmas? Ok.. I know that's not going to happen, so instead I'll just be content to mooch carrots through the wire from my pal.
