The Cat Learned How to Work the WHAT? Katten lærte at arbejde i HVAD?

When I carried him home, he was this tiny little bundle of fur, approximately three weeks old. Når jeg transporteres ham hjem, han var dette lille lille bundt af skind, at cirka tre uger gamle. He is mostly white, with some mutlicolored stripes, cute beyond belief, but he was being abused and starved at his current home, so I just couldn't leave him there. Han er for det meste hvid, med nogle mutlicolored striber, søde ud over troen, men han var ved at blive misbrugt og udsultes på hans nuværende hjem, så jeg bare kunne ikke efterlade ham der. I tucked him under my sweatshirt and off we went. Jeg skubbet ham under mit sweatshirt og slukker vi gik. My husband and son came home from their respective schools, they both fell in love, we named him Machiavelli, and that was that. Min mand og søn kom hjem fra deres respektive skoler, de begge faldt i kærlighed, vi har navngivet ham Machiavelli, og det var det.

In our home, he found three adult, spoiled and pampered feline friends, one dog who thinks she's a cat, food bowls that are always full, treats galore, toys in abundance, and fresh water always at hand. I vores hjem, fandt han tre voksne, forkælet og pampered felin venner, en hund som tror hun er en kat, mad skåle, der er altid fuld, behandler i massevis, legetøj i overflod, og ferskvand altid ved hånden. What more could a little fellow want? Hvad mere kan en lille stipendiaten ønsker? Life is good, for all of us. Livet er godt, for os alle.

I must admit, however, that we were not prepared for how smart he would turn out to be. Jeg må imidlertid indrømme, at vi ikke var forberedt på, hvordan intelligente han ville vise sig at være. I thought my other boys were pretty smart, but this fellow takes the cake. Jeg troede, mine andre drenge var temmelig smart, men denne kollega tager kagen.

When he was just a few months old, my husband and I were sitting in bed watching television, suddenly we heard him crying. Da han var blot et par måneder gamle, min mand og jeg sad i sengen ser fjernsyn, pludselig hørte vi ham gråd. I called out to him, to make sure he knew where we were, and to reassure him of our presence. Jeg råbte til ham, for at sikre, at han vidste, hvor vi var, og for at forsikre ham om vores tilstedeværelse. He cried again so I asked him what he wanted. Han råbte igen, så jeg spurgte ham, hvad han ønskede. Well, he decided to show me, he came into our room and climbed up on our bed with his favorite food bowl in his mouth! Tja, han besluttede at vise mig, han kom ind i vores værelse og klatrede op på vores seng med hans livret skål i sin mund! It was empty, he wanted it filled, and I guess I was to dense for him to make his point the easy way. Den var tom, han ønskede det fyldes, og jeg tror jeg var til tæt for ham at gøre hans punkt på den nemme måde. Of course, after a few months of these antics, the bowl had to be tossed out, alas, it was so full of fang holes that it looked like Swiss Cheese. Naturligvis, efter et par måneder af disse fjollerier, skålen skulle kastede ud, desværre, det var så fuld af fang huller, at det så ud som schweizisk ost.

Upon the addition of a new bowl, he changed his antics, and now if they are almost empty, he just throws them onto the diningroom floor, remaining food and all. Efter tilføjelsen af en ny skål, han ændrede sin fjollerier, og nu, hvis de er næsten tom, han bare smider dem ud til spisestue gulvet, resterende mad og alle. He then leaves the bowl in the middle of the floor, in the middle of the night, so he can be sure you will trip on it, and be obligated to fill it. Han forlader skålen i midten af gulvet, i det midt om natten, så han kan være sikker på, at du vil rejse på det, og være forpligtiget til at udfylde det.

He also astounded us by outsmarting our resident bully. Han har også overrasket os ved outsmarting vores bopæl tyran. Mr. Whiskers has been in charge around here for five years, until Machi moved in that is. Mr. Whiskers har haft til opgave omkring her i fem år, indtil machi flyttet i det er. This little fellow just refused to be intimidated by anyone. Denne lille medmennesker blot nægtede at lade sig skræmme af nogen. The fist instance occured at the waterbowl in the kitchen. Den knytnæve instans fandt sted på den waterbowl i køkkenet. Mr. Whiskers was getting a drink when Machi decided he was also thirsty, he approached the bowl and Mr. Whiskers hissed at him. Mr. Whiskers var at få en drink, når machi besluttede han var også tørstig, han nærmede skålen og Mr. Whiskers hissed på ham. Well, Machi, still being tiny at the time, just strolled right under the much larger cat and went on to get his drink. Nå, machi, fortsat er meget lille på det tidspunkt, blot strolled rettigheder i henhold til den meget større kat og gik på at få sin drink. The big bully ended up being the one to freak out and run. Den store tyran endte med at blive den ene til flipper ud og køre. Guess he didn't know how to handle someone who just didn't care in the least about his attitude, or seniority. Gæt han ikke vidste, hvordan man håndterer en, der bare ikke pleje i de mindst om hans holdning, eller anciennitet.

Machi still won't let Mr. Whiskers bother him, when he cops an attitude, Machi just stares at him, then slowly starts circling around the older, and larger cat. Machi stadig ikke vil lade Mr. Whiskers gider ham, når han betjente en holdning, machi bare stares på ham, derefter langsomt begynder cirkling omkring de ældre og større kat. Drawing every closer and closer. Tegning hvert tættere og tættere. He won't hiss, swat, or growl, just stare, and slowly diminish his circle. Han vil ikke skratten, fluesmkker, eller knurre, bare stirre, og langsomt aftage hans kreds. It never fails that Mr. Whiskers gets freaked out and runs off to hide. Det aldrig undlader at Mr. Whiskers får freaked ud og kører ud for at skjule.

On night when he was approximately seven months old, Machi came into our room, hopped on our bed and meowed at us. Om natten, da han var cirka syv måneder gamle, machi kom ind i vores værelse, hoppede om vores seng og meowed på os. We tried to figure out what he wanted, but it remained a mystery until my husband pulled aside the bedclothes and found one of his toy mice. Vi forsøgte at regne ud, hvad han ønskede, men det forblev et mysterium, indtil min mand trukket bort fra det bedclothes og fundet en af hans legetøjs mus. He made sure that Machi saw it in his hand and then tossed it out the door so he could go play. Han sørgede for, at machi oplevede det i sin hånd og derefter kastede det ud af døren, så han kunne gå spille. Surprise! This turned out to be a fun game, so Machi brought the mouse back to be thrown again. Dette viste sig at være et sjovt, så machi bragt musen tilbage for at blive smidt igen. We ended up playing fetch with a toy mouse that night for nearly an hour, and ever since, this has become one of his favorite games. Vi endte spiller hente med en legetøjs mus, der natten til næsten en time, og lige siden, er dette blevet en af hans foretrukne spil.

Now, I am sure he thought he was really entertaining us silly people, and this was fine with us, until the evening he caught a real mouse. Nu er jeg sikker på, at han troede, han var virkelig underholdende os dumme mennesker, og det var fint med os, indtil den aften han fanget en rigtig mus. Yep, you got it, he tried to bring the bloody corpse into our bed so we could play fetch with it. Jep, du fik det, han forsøgte at bringe den blodige lig i vores seng, så vi kunne spille hente med det. He just couldn't understand why we didn't want his new prize toy in our bed. Han bare ikke kunne forstå, hvorfor vi ikke ønsker hans nye pris legetøj i vores seng. I finally had to pick the thing up and take it outside to the garbage to end the problem. I sidste ende var nødt til at vælge de ting op og tage det uden at skraldet at sætte en stopper for problemet.

There are many other escapades where he has shown off his intelligence, including learning what the television remote is for, and not being shy about using it when he doesn't like what we are watching, or leaving small toys in our shoes, because he enjoys the reaction when we have to pull them back off to figure out why they suddently don't fit right but none astounded me as much as my most recent discovery. Der er mange andre Velkomst, hvor han har udvist fra hans efterretninger, herunder læring, hvad tv-fjernbetjening er for, og ikke bliver genert over at bruge det, når han ikke kan lide hvad vi ser, eller forlader små legetøj i vores sko, fordi han nyder den reaktion, når vi har at trække dem tilbage fra at regne ud, hvorfor de suddently passer ikke rigtigt, men ingen undrer mig så meget som min seneste opdagelse.

If I hadn't witnessed this one for myself, I would never have believed it in a million years. Hvis jeg ikke havde været vidne til dette en for mig, ville jeg aldrig have troet det i en million år. It started over the winter, I would find the house getting chilly for no apparent reason, and at other times heating up like we lived at the equator. Det startede i løbet af vinteren, ville jeg finde det hus bliver kold uden synlig grund, og på andre tidspunkter varme op, som vi boede på ækvator. I wasn't sure what was going on, for quite awhile, I just assumed my husband had adjusted the thermostat for some reason, I set it to a comfortable temperature and thought nothing of it. Jeg var ikke sikker på, hvad der foregik, for ganske lidt, jeg lige antages min mand havde justeres termostaten eller anden grund, vil jeg sætte den til en behagelig temperatur og troede, intet af det. Then one day, after my husband had left for school, and I found myself freezing, I called him on his lunch break to ask why he had to mess with the silly thing, when he knew he was leaving the house soon. Så en dag, efter min mand havde forladt for skolen, og jeg befandt mig frysning, jeg kaldte ham for hans frokost pause til at spørge, hvorfor han var nødt til at rod med de dumme ting, når han vidste, at han forlod huset hurtigt. He denied having touched it. Han benægtede at have rørt det. So, I thought maybe our son had done it. Så jeg tænkte vores søn havde gjort det.

When he returned from school that afternoon, I asked him about it. Da han vendte hjem fra skole, der i eftermiddag, spurgte jeg ham om det. He denied touching it as well. Han afviste at røre det. Being a ten-year old, he of course hates to get in trouble, so I must admit, I just assumed he was denying to cover his butt. At blive en ti-årig, han naturligvis hader at komme i knibe, så jeg må indrømme, jeg kun antages han nægter at dække hans Butt. When it happend on weekends, after company had left, I just assumed one of them had done it, I would reset it and forget about it. Når det happend i weekender, efter selskabet havde forladt, jeg lige har antaget en af dem havde gjort det, jeg vil nulstille den og glemme alt om det. That is, until one day, when I knew for a fact that I had just done fixed it that very morning and no one else was home, and suddenly, I felt like a turkey basting in the oven. Det er, indtil en dag, når jeg vidste for en kendsgerning, at jeg netop havde gjort fast, at meget morgenen og ingen andre var hjemme, og pludselig, følte jeg gerne have en kalkun basting i ovnen. At this point, I was very perplexed. På dette tidspunkt var jeg meget forvirret. Was something really wrong with the thing? Var noget virkelig galt med de ting? Did we have a ghost who had its own ideas of the most comfortable temperature? Har vi har et spøgelse, der havde sine egne idéer af den mest behagelige temperatur?

Then, one day, I was having a lot of pain from my back problems, so I had taken some pills and hit the bed for a nap. Så, en dag, jeg var der har mange smerter fra min ryg problemer, så jeg havde taget nogle piller, og trykker på sengen for en lur. I woke up to go to the bathroom and when I was walking through the diningroom, what did I see? Jeg vågnede for at gå til badeværelse og da jeg var til fods gennem spisestue, hvad gjorde jeg se? Why, a Machi, of course, balancing atop a door we had leaning against the wall, stretching up as tall as he could, and moving the thermostat. Hvorfor en machi, naturligvis, balancering oven på en dør, vi havde hælder mod muren, der strækker sig op så høj som han kunne, og flytte termostat. I quietly watched to see what he was doing, if it was just something interesting to play with, or if he had really figured out what its purpose was. Jeg stille og roligt fulgt for at se, hvad han gør, hvis det kun var noget interessant at spille med, eller hvis han havde virkelig regnet ud, hvad dens formål var. I watched as he slowly slid it to the right, a higher temp, he paused after sliding it a little, cocked an ear and when he heard the furnace turn on, he jumped down, and ran into the kitchen. Jeg så da han langsomt gled den til højre, en højere temp, han midlertidigt standset, efter at skubbe det lidt, cocked en øre, og når han hørte ovnen tænder, han sprang ned og løb ind i køkkenet. I then found him in the bathroom, laying on the heat vent, getting ready for a nap. Jeg fandt ham i badeværelset, om på den varme, udluftning, bliver klar til en lur. He certainly had figured it what it did. Han havde regnede det, hvad det gjorde.

Another time, after sleeping on the heat vent for awhile, I am assuming he woke up a little too warm. En anden gang, efter at sove på varme slids for et stykke tid, jeg går ud fra han vågnede lidt for varm. I watched his balancing act again, but this time, he moved the dial to the left, a lower temp. Jeg så hans balancegang igen, men denne gang, han flyttede skiven til venstre, en lavere temp. As before, he moved it a little, cocked an ear to listen closely, and when he heard the furnace shut off, he was satisfied and jumped down to continue on with his day. Som før, han flyttede den en smule, cocked en øre til at lytte nøje, og da han hørte ovnen slukkes, han var tilfreds og sprang ned for at fortsætte med hans dag.

You can of course see where this new skill can be a problem, he has fur, Sometimes when he is warm, we aren't. Du kan naturligvis se, hvor denne nye færdigheder kan være et problem, han har pels, Nogle gange, når han er varm, er vi ikke. Sometimes when he is cold, perhaps from sleeping near a drafty window, or door, we aren't. Nogle gange, når han er koldt, måske fra at sove i nærheden af en drafty vindue, eller dør, er vi ikke. But you know what? Men ved du hvad? He is just so darned cute, that we have never had the heart to move that door to a new spot! Han er bare så darned nuttet, at vi aldrig har haft hjerte til at bevæge sig, at døren til et nyt spot!
