M...Just browsing through your blogs and found this. My wife and I had, at the time, suspected our Abyssinian (Sheba) understood more than she let, and one day in the bathroom my wife spotted a particularly large daddy long legs. She screamed of course! ;-)<br /><br />So I came running to the rescue, as did Sheba. After clearing away the nasty spider we expressed to Sheba that maybe she could earn her keep by checking the corners of the bathroom for spiders. My wife and I chuckled and went on with what we were doing.<br /><br />Sheba, however, took her new duties seriously and from that day onward regularly checked at least one corner in the bathroom when she came in. Having since moved house to a place with even more spiders, we asked Sheba to also check the kitchen for spiders.<br /><br />This too she has been doing regularly... first a wee close-up look under the toe kick, then a tentative wave of the paw (I'm guessing this is to check for spider webs that she couldn't see).<br /><br />It's quite amusing to watch, and we always try to remember to thank for checking.<br /><br />There have been many, many, many other instances where we believe she understands us... her timing for meows when we talk about here are a dead give-away!!Pooleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08039951709697019446noreply@blogger.com
