I am beginning to believe in this
article I once read about Tuxedo cats being smarter than other cats up to 200% and other cats in the same household will benefit. I live with two five months old kittens. One is a Domestic Shorthair Tuxedo and another is a Russian Blue-X...
Although the Russian Blue-X is much bigger in size, the Tuxedo is definitely the leader at my household. Recently, I have done the following changes at home:
- Switched my open-top garbage bin to the type with lid and placing dumbell above the lid to prevent my cats from rummaging for table scraps
- Keeping away food in covered containers and leaving them on top of my two-door fridge
- Keeping the bathroom door (sliding door) shut all the time so that my cats will not drink off the bathroom floor and risk getting worms
This weekend, I discovered the following:
- The too smart for her own good tuxedo cat (1.6kg) has learnt how to push the 2kg dumbell off the garbage bin lid, open the lid and rummage for table scraps and share them with the Russian Blue!!!!
- The Tuxedo cat was ON my fridge top, and the fridge is as tall as I am (5' 3")!
- Found my bathroom door gapping on two occassions and my Tuxedo cat in the bathroom, happily drinking off the floor!!!
What should I do?
