So, what questions do cat's have to ask, I pondered.
I wouldn't mind hearing what people out there think their cats would like to ask, but for the sake of this post, I have asked my three cats at home- Pusski, Fitz and Dash, as well as Pandora (the boss) at work.
It was a surprise that, even though cats are renowned hunters, my cats decided that food was the number one question. Mostly, complaining that I don't feed them often enough during the night, as really, they are nocturnal hunters by nature, and I should be providing multiple meal opportunities through the night. So, I have deliberately avoided those kinds of questions, and went for some of the more unusual ones.
So, ladies first. This would be Dash and Pandora.
Pandora is the boss of Russell Vale Animal Clinic, and most of the time, spends her time walking up to dogs that don't actually like cats, or climbing onto the laps of clients who smell of dogs.

Answer: Patience, Pandora. Another day will bring another pile of towels, as you know we like our pets to sit and sleep on comfy bedding, rather than dry newspaper. In the meanwhile, you can sleep on the bed in my old bedroom at the back!
Dashie acting all innocent. |
Answer: Dashie, Dashie, Dashie. Do you know how disconcerting it is to have a tricolour thing dash around your feet whilst you are in the shower? And then you sit there waiting for another opportunity, with little beads of water on your head! But, since you love it so much, Ok, we will leave the door ajar for you!
So, gentlemen are next! And these are our cats Fitz (short for Fitzgerald Darcy), and Pusski (our inherited cat).
Mr Fitzgerald Darcy... says "Really" |
Answer: Dear dear Fitzle. You are going to have a short life if you continue to wake me up at 4 to come in for food, and then eat, and then go out through the cat flap, to then wake me again 15 minutes later to let you back in again. That was the long answer. The short answer is - there is no good time! But we love you anyway.
Pusski: How many hours have I slept today?
Pusski - And, I forgot the 15 minutes you sat watching a program on Bird Watching on Austar. |
I am sure you moved somewhere in amongst that for the usual habits of eating, drinking etc, but I still suspect you sleep for alot more hours than most!
Now, what questions would your cats ask?
