Trying to fool a cat

Our friend Pete sent us this story and it is so funny I have to share it!!


"I was originally going to put together an article called "10 Ways to Confuse (or Annoy) your Cat". I jotted down a few ideas and was going to make a list around the premise. As I started thinking of ideas I couldn't help but wonder how Carl would react to some of these situations. So instead of putting up the list I figured I would take a whack at some of the ideas. Today I bring you the first of such experiments. I call this one The Switch.

I keep Carl's food, water and litter box in a separate room from the rest of the apartment. Some folks like to call it the "pantry", I call it the food bunker. As you'd expect Carl makes countless trips there a day to eat, drink and take care of business. On the rare chance he has food, water and a clean litter box all at the same time it looks a little something like this...


Carl's setup has been like this since day one. And unless I move, get evicted, Carl kills me or my apartment slides down a mountain it'll stay this way. He's a cat, why would he suspect anything else? Today, however, will be different. We're gonna turn his world upside down.

First up? His food dispenser.

What if everything Carl has grown to know and love was suddenly different? What if after chewing on some killer 'nip he got the munchies for Science Diet only to find it replaced with kitty litter? Or his kitty litter replaced with water? Think Freaky Friday with more cat food...and less Lindsay Lohan. Also, before we begin and in case you guys were curious, I thoroughly cleaned everything before and after the experiment. No need to worry.

I started off by emptying all of his food into a bag........."

Keep reading this hilarious post here! I might try this if it were not for the fact I think my cats might play a equally mean trick on me. Never doubt a cat.
