World's smartest fuzz
Nietzsche has got to be one of the smartest fuzzes, ever. She has repeatedly demonstrated her intellect in many different situations. Examples include:
- When the house cleaners come, we put Squirt & Nietzsche in the basement and close the kitty door using a metal slide-in face plate. On the 3rd scheduled house cleaning session, Davinder decided to put in the metal plate first before putting the fuzzies in the basement. Nietzsche happened to be nearby and as soon as she saw this, she ran upstairs. Squirt on the other hand followed Davinder into the basement.
- When we’re packing for a trip and the suitcases come out, Nietzsche immediately knows we’re leaving soon and becomes a little upset. The other kitties just go on about their business after the initial calming down period of having new items brought out.
- If we pull out the kitty carrier, all the kitties scatter. It seems like they all know equally well that one of them may be forced in it and hauled off to some torturous place (a.k.a. the vet).
- If you throw a blanket or sheet over each of the fuzzes, they each take varying amounts of time to escape. Nietzsche is usually the fastest at escaping. Scout sometimes gives up and decides to sleep there. Squirt can usually get out fairly quickly but she sometimes gets confused over which way to go.
- All the fuzzies can push open a door with different levels of strength but Nietzsche is also able to pull the door open by putting her paw underneath and pulling towards her.
- When Nietzsche wants to leave a room where the door is fully closed, she will stretch up towards the door handle and scratch the door whereas Scout will just sit there and stare at the door. Squirt actually wins this one because she’ll jump up and hold the door handles with her front two paws, hanging for a few seconds before letting go. If we had a lever type handle, I’m sure Squirt would be able to open the door.
- When we return from some outside excursion and Scout somehow got trapped in a closet, Nietzsche will try to let us know by chirping a lot and hanging out in front of the door.
- While the other kitties become very excited and chase a red laser dot all around the house, Nietzsche will not. She looks at the dot moving around but instantly knows there’s nothing worth chasing.
