Braised some 'country-style' pork ribs (bottom of the freezer sort of
thing) in the Crockpot o/n. Our new kittenish addition to the family,
Jasper (aka Jazzy-Purr and 'whatever you're doing, stop it!') came into
the kitchen for her breakfast as usual.
After dining and scrubbing up, she stopped and stared over at the
counter where said Crockpot was stewing away. She didn't take her eyes
and ears off of it. Kept wandering around, fixated by the pot.
Took me a while to work out that it was the blurping it was making as
the ribs were plootering in the braising liquid. Took pity on the little
thing and shut it off. Mystery solved, she wandered off to commit more
feline felonies

(The Senior Diva, Ruby, didn't pay the least bit of attention to
anything but her breakfast LOL.)

That's too funny. I had gotten Angie the resident felid a little radio
controlled mouse. Once she figured out that I was controlling it she
compltely lost interest in it.

Of our five cats, only one hasn't figured out what the laser pointer is all
about. The other four ignore it. The one will chase it tirelessly, even
crashing into walls.

Haha, once Moxie figured out I was behind that weird red
dot, she walked away in disdain. Sometimes she'll still
play with it, but she hears me take it out of the desk drawer
and she'll play for a couple of minutes to amuse me.

My cat does also; she'll play with the laser pointer for hours.

That was why I got the RC mouse. She played with the laser pointer once
and then ignored it all the other times.

Yet neither of ours will play with it for even five minutes.
