Homesteader Update: Whistle While You Work October 15, 2013

I must confess. I have serendipitously discovered a new weapon in the war against cat independence. I accidentally stumbled on a way to get the Homesteader (Nosy Rosy, White Dish Rag, Cat!) to stop what she's doing--whatever it may be--and "behave." What is the cat magic? I whistle. She immediately stops, perks up her ears, and begins looking around for the noisemaker. For some reason she can't figure out that it's me, no matter how obviously I try to make my guilt evident. I guess she thinks the old human doesn't have enough "ingenuity" to come up with something so enigmatic and mysterious. I can feed her, pet her, clean her box, provide a lap, feed her, pet her, provide a . . . But be clever? No chance! I'm enjoying the power. And abusing it! Heh, heh. Whistle while you work . . .
