Superpowers
August 21, 2019 at 12:22 pm
I now believe in superpowers.
My SO's cat has one.
I observed this tribble with legs doing what it does all day - sleeping in it's bed in the laundry room.
Me - 40 feet away - all the way across the kitchen and standing in the living room - with a running window mount AC unit running - about halfway between me and the cat.
I take the can opener - and begin opening a can of tuna - for my lunch.
The cat is up on it's feet and headed in my direction before I even get the top of the can off.
Superhearing.
Go figure.

My dogs have that hearing for the fridge door and chip bags.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

I had a puppy for a brief while. She could hear me rummaging through the dog bag in the kitchen, from outside the house.

My wife seems to be able to see money in my wallet.

One of my brothers used to raise guinea pigs. It got so that you couldn't crinkle a bit of cellophane within 200 feet of the house without those furry little bastards whistling to be fed.

Treats packages (or anything that sounds like treats packages) or chicken.
There can be no sign of a cat anywhere nearby but the moment you open one of the above, there’s at least one cat by your feet.
I swear the little bastards teleport in.
And I have no interest in other people’s money, you sexist bastards!
