Every night around now, our cat comes in from the garden for the last time before bed (he’s kept in overnight) and we go through a rigmarole of him pawing and scratching at his cupboard as if he’s starved, despite having food in his dish. The conversation goes along the lines of, “there’s nothing else coming out of that cupboard, eat what’s in your dish”, and always ends up with “kitchen’s closed, the chef’s gone home”. He will then eat the food in his dish. Every night. I don’t know why it makes me laugh so much, and I also don’t know what he would do if I suddenly produced another meal from the cupboard at 11pm.
Another regular chat we have is that he takes himself off in the afternoon (never any other time) to nap under the throw on the armchair. One of us will say “where’s Louie?” and he will miaow to say he’s there until the throw is lifted and oh, “here he is!” and he jumps down.
How about you? what are your daily chats with your cats?
