Problem-solving!

Oh isn't it fun having a kitty in the house.  She's a little hoot!  I think the best part is seeing her personality develop.  She's taking on some of Cody's traits along with some of Simon's traits all mixed in with her own kitty-cat style.

We recently realized she can problem solve when she needs to. We buy the large bags of pet food now.  For some reason the large bag of cat food is not nearly as large as the big bag of dog food sold.  Cats just don't eat as much as dogs do I guess. Anyway we have containers of each type of food in the kitchen area then we keep the big bags, our surplus, in the walk-in closet that is part of the pet quarters.  The other morning I went into the pet quarters to get all 3 of them up for the day.  When I walked into the closet that is mostly occupied by little Ms. Piper, I noticed a hole had been chewed through the bag of kitty food.  I must mention the kitty food comes inside a bag that is made of a plastic material not a paper material like dog food bags. So this was a bit of an impressive feat, she had chewed through a plastic material to get to her food. It wasn't a big hole just big enough for her.  Piper-sized!  When I told Brad after he got up for the day his response was, "I like it!  She's a problem-solver!".  He immediately recognized she was hungry and she did something about her hunger pang.  Me on the other hand wasn't thinking about it like that at first.  My reaction was, "You little stinker. You chewed through the bag and now I have to figure out how to keep this entire bag of food fresh despite the hole you put in it.". 

I have now come around to Brad's way of thinking for the most part! It was rather smart.  She was likely hungry.  Had some midnight munchies going on and she did something about it.  However, on a side note...thank goodness it wasn't Simon that ever did anything like that.  The bag would have been emptied!
