Who let the cats out
What self respecting cat would hang round in the bushes next to a dog agility class? One with a death wish or with a serious sense of mischief. Jake, whose end of term report, sorry, Xmas card, read "Jake is extremely intelligent...," sat patiently at the start of the course, only to take off into the bushes. Though even members of the collie borg did the same. (More of the collie borg in another post).
Now that we know that Jake is extremely clever, we keep spotting signs of his extreme cleverness. Viz how he has learned that whining at our bedside in the middle of the night gets him unceremoniously sent back downstairs. How extremely clever of him to simply sneak in under the duvet, on the off-chance his people are fast asleep, and first realise they are a trois when one of them falls onto the carpet. Or there's a fluffy arse in their face. Or very long lurcher legs digging into their back.
Revenge is sweet.
Here is Jake in his Xmas jumper, handknitted by a nice ebay seller. So very cosy for those 300 mile drives accross country to see relatives. How cute he looks. Bwah-hah-hah. But His Extreme Cleverness has taught himself to sit up and beg, and it's as much as his Gussie & Roderick can do to try to attach a command ("meercat") to it. How the relatives coo over his new trick! How many biscuits & scraps of turkey are his reward!
And how many high jumps at agility to work them off.
