Cats are very clever.

Cat's daily routine baffles owner

A cat is baffling his owner by wandering off at night before expecting to be collected by car every morning at exactly the same time and place.

Sgt Podge, a Norwegian Forest Cat, disappears from his owner's home in Talbot Woods, Bournemouth, every night.

The next morning, the 12-year-old cat can always be found in exactly the same place, on a pavement about one and a half miles (2.4km) away.

I heard of a cat once that used to disappear the same night each week for several hours at a time; the owner finally trailed it one night to see where it went — turned out that it went to a church and sat in a window sill to watch elderly people play bridge.

Well, the silly went and picked the cat up by car at that location. The cat trained him. Had he not, the cat would have come home on its own! :lol: :lol:

Can anyone doubt the intelligence of cats when they've domesticated nearly all of mankind and made sure we supply them with food? :-D And even being worshipped as gods back in ancient Egypt.

Puffy has taken to wandering off in the afternoon. I know she doesn't go far, but I want her to be around when it's time to feed the cats.

That's a good point. Without the guidance of cats, mankind would not have come as far.

Without cats there would be no democracy. Who's in favor of a cat-shaped flag?

Cute!

I used to have a cat that followed me to school, one of my mom's friends always had to pick him up in her car and bring him home.
