No more pets
Jen and Jordi came by last night to pick up Fred and George. I was quite sad to see them go, especially because they were finally starting to feel comfortable in the house and around us. Fred was still on the timid side but I took comfort in the fact that he continued to hide under the bed even when Jen (A. M.) tried to coax him out.
Random observations:
- Only George knew how to open doors that we left a bit open - he was quite good at sticking his paw into doors that opened towards him and getting up on his hind legs to push doors that opened away from him.
- The cats like turkey (I fed them while making sandwiches for myself).
- One night I left a half-consumed can of cat food on the counter. A few minutes after turning off the lights, I heard the spoon fall out of the can. Coming out to investigate, I heard one of the cats jumping off the counter. It seems that they know they’re not supposed to be on counters and tables.
- George is awesome at catching his red and white octopus with his front legs.
All in all, it was a fun experience, and I’m glad that Jen and Jordi trusted me with their beloved pets.
