Ronron and the Mysterious Invisible Yogurt

One day, I was enjoying a cherry flavored yogurt and thought I'd be nice and offer the cover to Ronron to lick. Ronron was sitting on the counter so I just dropped the cover in front of her.
I didn't see how she managed it, but she ended with one front paw covered in bright pink yogurt. "Silly girl", I thought, "she'll lick it clean in no time". So I took the cover and bent to drop it in the garbage under the counter. When I stood again, I saw Ronron was still sitting with her paw all pink and watching me with big round eyes. "Ok, so she hasn't noticed her paw is covered in yogurt yet, no big deal."

She stood up and was about to jump off the counter when something happened. Did she sniff the yogurt? Did she feel her paw was heavier? I guess we'll never know, but she reacted.

Ronron started sniffing the counter passionately, looking for the yogurt she could smell but not see.

I could here the lil nose go "sniffysniffsniffoo" and was already giggling. She was getting closer and closer to her paw, so I thought my fun was over, she'd find the yogurt, lick and, that's that.
Well that was overestimating Ronron, it seems, because when she reached her paw, she lifted it to sniff the counter under it. That made the yogurt move backwards and so she started sniffing in that direction. "Surely she won't do it twice", I thought.

Well not only did she do it twice, she did it a lot more than twice. She was walking backwards in circle, sniffing the counter and always moving her paw away before she could notice the yogurt she was looking for was there.

I tried to hold her paw gently to her face so she'd see her error, but she gave me such a puzzled look, I burst out laughing and she went back to her trotting and sniffing.

After a few minutes of this, I walked away. Soon Ronron was coming my way with a clean paw and begged for love. I'm thinking she just wanted a place to hide her red face...

Amanda, the Cheese Freak

I had adopted two kittens the beginning of this year. One of them, my female Amanda really likes cheese for snacks. She quickly figured out where I kept "her" cheese. I was talking to her one day when she came up and jumped in my lap. She knows what "cheese" is.
I asked her if she wanted some. Of course she gave me her please mom can I have some before I die meow. I told to her to come on, so she hopped off my lap and headed for the kitchen and stood at the fridge and looked at me. I asked her again if she wanted some cheese. She gave me the same meow.

I opened the door (dummy me didn't close it) and sat the cheese on the counter, grabbed the knife and cut her off a piece. I turned around put the cheese back in the fridge and closed the door. I washed off the knife stuck it in the dish drain and looked down to see where she was.

I didn't see her. I called out to her and told her I had her cheese. No answer and she was nowhere to be seen.
I figured she went into the den and was waiting for me to come back in there with her treat. I went to look for her. She wasn't there, so I looked down the hall towards the litterbox. Didn't see her there.

I heard a noise in the kitchen and I went to see if she was in there and I looked over her. I looked around in there and saw nothing she wasn't under the breakfast table, on the bottom shelf of the microwave cart, or on my bakers rack.

About that time I heard a noise again. I turned around and listened to see if I could hear it again. I did. Somthing in my fridge was clanking the bottles together on my door shelves. I opened the door and saw Amanda. She wandered out of the fridge and looked up at me amd meowed. I caught out of the corner of my eye the cheese in the fridge. She had pulled the saran wrap off the cheese and had taken her a few bites.

I sat her on the stool at the breakfast table and gave her the cheese I cut off for her. I grabbed a Ziploc bag and wrote on it cats only and stuck the cheese in the bag, put it in the fridge, checked to see if any cats were in it there, and closed the door.

I have never had a cat climb into the fridge before. I was suprised. I have learned my lesson though. Look before you close the door since I have a cheese crazy cat who will stop at nothing to get her cheese. That has been the only incident and attempt, so I think it's safe to say she learned her lesson too.
