DH came across this. be.chewy.com/cat-intelligence-quiz/ It's a cat "IQ" test. We always joke that our cat, Sid, is the dumbest cat we've had. According to the test she is spectacularly stuuuuupid. She is a -8!!!! When you look into her eyes- there's nothing there. We love her though... not sure why sometimes, but we do.

Before her, we had Bailey. I LOVED that kitten! He was such a people kitty and smart. His mom abandoned him in our yard in the winter. Well, it turns out that she abandoned him because he had a genetic problem with his colon. Sadly, he passed away toooooo soon.

Midnight was big black cat then there was PeeDee Cat big yellow cat with a funny walk
well it was runt of the litter and Remo bottle fed him milk and whixkey might have contributed to the wobble
any way that darn cat was best friends w/ Mixxy our pet Australian sheep dog slept on top her pals!

I love cats, too. I love dogs, as well, but for different reasons. Our Sid may be dumb, but she has A LOT of personality. I think her purr box is broken. She makes a raggedy sound that I think is a pure, but we're not sure. She will growl and hiss at you if you tell her NO. But, she'll listen, anyway. She's spunky.

We've had cats but for the past 32 years (our anniversary is today) we've had a cocker spaniel of two. Maggie is the latest and has a few quirks. She won't beg for something but she will grunt. She also rubs back and forth across our legs at times when we are standing just like a cat will.
Short rant: A friend who is a vendor at one of our local flea markets bought a few kittens from a homeless guy a few weeks back. He gets really pissed at them because they take them away from their moms way too soon and bring them to the flea market to sell for $5.00 each. He bought all five kittens, nursed them along until he was able to adopt them out.

Most cats we end up with are from the SPCA or from strays.
Maggie is a doll.

Well, it turns out that she abandoned him because he had a genetic problem with his colon. Sadly, he passed away toooooo soon. Tela, mom cats (and dogs) can sense those things. Years ago, we acquired a cat that was already pregnant, we picked out (what we thought, lol) was the perfect spot for her to have her kittens. I guess she didn't think much of our decision, instead having her kittens in an upstairs closet. We moved them downstairs to our preferred location, she started carrying them back upstairs again. Okay, we thought, back in the closet it will be. Before she was finished relocating them again, there was one more she hadn't moved, we thought we would be dears and carry that one back upstairs for her. Not long after, she moved them out of that closet. The one we had moved was still in the box, deceased. Momcat knew there was something wrong with that one, moved the other ones away from it. Too bad us clueless kids made it so hard on her! If I knew then what I know now!
