For Dog Only

Yes, you read correctly. Things my cat Shea is a dog. At least thats what we think she thinks. ITA really hard to read the mind of a CATA.

When my father-in-law decided to sell his huge house and move into a condo, my husband and I inherited her cat. We liked Pi, and had been intending to get another cat since we last had a stroke, to acquire Pi if wasnÂ'ta problem. After having to give us, I suppose, is more appropriate.

Over there were some problems, however. Pi has been used for both a cat inside and outside. She spent her first five years in a neighborhood with houses huge, huge pie shaped lot on a cul-de-sac. She was able to walk without anyone disturbing it was close to traffic. She managed to chase the squirrels and birds at leisure. And she is quite right to verify the contents with his people from time to time for some food and petting.

Pi When we moved in, things were different. We lived on a cul-de-sac too, but the lots were small and ours has not been closed. There were two ways forward and back in our neighborhood, and even if the speed limit was 25, the car accelerated in the street going 50 times. We really didnÂ't think Pi would survive an outdoor cat here, so we will have kept indoors.

Perhaps it would have been good with that. It didnÂ't mind using a litter after all. And she could sit in our kitchen's bay window and watch the world. But day after day, it looked like our son and his little friend were walking their dogs outside to the bay window. The more she saw the dog out, the more she wanted more freedom too. Soon she started dashing for the door whenever it opened. And as we had imagined, she headed for the area street filled whenever she has to flee.

We bought a collar and leash for Pi, but his first reaction was, Â "Are you crazy? IÂ'm Cat! Â "She soon realized that in order for her to spend time outside, she would have to be tied.

The first day she helped me put the leash on and take off. It has expanded rapidly on the ground and refused to budge. The second day, she ventured a few feet, then planted in the yard. And so on. Now, months later, she took the habit of having a track the man she leaves behind. It works quietly in the courtyard and on the sidewalk, trying to pretend she is alone.

But Pi had to observe more than just how a dog happens to walk on a leash. She must have seen another "benefits dog" and has embraced some of them as his own.

Pi now loves to eat any meat, but especially hot dogs. It also decided that milk and cream are not at all interesting. She wants to lick a plate of food, whether it once contained vegetables, pasta or meat products. But no fish. Pi decided that tuna and other fish is totally gross. It sits near the door and meows softly up that one of his people understand that it does not walk.

Fortunately, she has still act like a cat. Often, she meows loudly, sounding almost as if Shea shouted my name. Â "Meooooooooowlyn.Â" And when I hold in my lap, telling him that I donÂ't really understand what she wants, she jumps quickly, glancing at me over his shoulder with disdain.

I suppose Shea still a cat after all.
