After a while a guy sees and hears plenty of things, and learns even more. Some of my more recent educational moments include learning the phrase “Happy Hour,” and also how to use my looks and charm to work the system.
We’ll start with Happy Hour. Perhaps Those Two wouldn’t like me sharing this, but they often like to have an evening nip at the bar in our house. Somewhere along the way, they started luring me downstairs with promises of some nip of my own, and before I knew it, I had become a regular! They even shout out my name when I enter the room!
Pretty soon I learned that if I just sat quietly at their feet and looked cute enough, they would also give me some cat treats. Here’s my begging face.
See what I mean? Right, who could resist that?!!
Anyway, Those Two have realized they’ve created a bit of a monster, because now when they go downstairs for any reason, at any time, I think it’s Happy Hour! Mama G wasn’t too happy about that when she recently had to share a barstool with me as she drank her morning coffee.
A couple of nights ago, I even wowed them with my amazing leaping ability by jumping directly onto the bar, right between their still-full shot glasses!
Security! I guess some cats just can’t handle their catnip and treats.
