I know I'm going on and on about the fishes, but somehow lately they have been more and more on my mind. Also yesterday happened something that I could call a breakthrough in my plan to get my paws on the fish. Well, it would have been a breakthrough if I hadn't, well, chickened out...
The staff was cleaning up the aquarium, which means the fishes were collected into a bucket during the clean up. I had the golden opportunity to get to them, since this is how close I was able to get:
Can you believe my luck! There I am, just a few centimeters away from the fish! But then it finally hit me, the fishes are UNDER the water. I'm a cat and I hate to be under water. I tried to put my paw into the water, but it didn't feel nice at all. I just couldn't go through with it!
I don't quite understand, everytime there is fish on my food bowl, there is no water there, only the fish. How does that happen? How do the humans take the fish out of the water? I can't understand how I didn't realise the fish were actually in the water when they were floating in the aquarium. I kind of thought that the glass of the aquarium was the main obstacle..
Oh the frustration and disappointment!! All the careful planning and waiting going to waste!! How can a cat get over this kind of letdown? Maybe I should turn my interest towards the birds instead... What's the catch with the birds? How should I prepare myself?
Carlos, espero que você não tenha medo de altura hehehehe
ReplyDeleteNão desista!
Não, eu não tenho medo :-)
DeleteYou has fishes at your house? OMC, you is a lucky cat!
ReplyDeleteMaybe your beans are not as scared of the water and that is how they gets into your bowl? We don'ts know but we does know we lubs watching birds on the cat television. We never caught one though! ;(
Yes, I consider myself quite lucky. I believe you're right, I have seen the staff even voluntarily going into water, so that must be it. Birds must be hard to catch too I guess...
DeleteBirds have a nasty habit of getting up is the sky.
ReplyDeleteThat's true.. I must practise my stealth so that I could reach them before they do that.

ReplyDeleteYou think so? I agree with you that fish ARE more interesting. Actually the big one is a fisherman, and I know he has fishing poles around the house. There are even smaller fishing poles for the smallest of the staff. I hadn't even thought about that, good thing I can get advice from a pro like you!
DeleteCarlos, we don't think catching the birdies is gonna be any easier than catching those fish. But at least you won't get your paws wet trying.
ReplyDeleteI'm beginning to realise that too...Maybe I'll keep trying for the fish with some kind of tools to avoid getting wet.
