Yesterday Watson had his “big day” and came home from the vet with a rather hilarious Elizabethan cone on his head and strict orders not to interact with Dexter until his wound has healed.

Dexter missed Watson terribly while he was away and put on quite the needy kitty show for us.
When Watson arrived home he spent most of last evening purring in a very stoned manner and looking at CK and I with unfocused glassy eyes while Dexter sat outside of the spare room (where we sequestered Watson) crying pitifuly and trying to poke his paws under the door to touch his kitty friend.
This morning I woke up at 6:00 AM to check on Watson. Somehow he had pulled the cone off his head (of course). So we re-attached it. But this time Dexter had a plan. While CK and I were eating breakfast who should appear but Watson. We thought maybe we hadn’t latched the door completely so back into the room he went and Dexter continued his vigil. But then it happened again, and again. It occurred to CK that Dexter might be actually opening the door and letting Watson out. So I decided to stake out the situation:
The double paws! The hands! Mine opens doors too. And boxes. Flapped sealed boxes. Nothing is safe with a Hemingway cat. Nothing.
And my, Watson is getting so big!
Oh my goodness- that is hysterical!! I love that they love each other so much to dedicate that much effort to being together again (well, Dexter anyway!)
That’s hilarious, naughty, and super cute! Kitties these days are just too smart for their own good!
Mine do the same thing, too. Too freaking funny, Erin!
THAT is fantastic! Adorably cute and precious.
That is hysterical and amazing! Cats are so cute!
Omg! Your cats are so smart!….I’d keep an eye on them!
That is an awesome video! I had to watch it twice. I am glad the 2 kitties are such great friends now. I can not wait to see more of the antics!
A-freakin-mazing. So awesome.
How supercute that is… Dexter rescuing Watson… Ooooo
Wow! Dexter is a genius! BTW I love Watson’s lampshade hat.
That is totally da bomb
holy cow!!! you’ve got one crazy cat there
they are both gorgeous!!
You should see if he can flush the can! A friend of mine adopted a similar cat and soon found he could open doors with his massive paws and then was awoken early one morning to the sound of the toilet flushing… he was quickly dubbed “Loo” as in “I have to go to the …..”
[...] decided it would be best for Dex to spend the night in the spare bedroom. Of course, since Dex can open doors we had to lock him in (with litter and food and toys mind you). Well the next morning when I went [...]
Who says cats are not intelligent….it wasn’t just once..watch, he continually knew that was where the problem was. Once of course it worked then there was no more wondering. Cats are awesome. These need to be shared. He knew his friend needed him..and he did for comfort.
[...] has given him superpowers. One of his amazing feats is the ability to open doors. I even have video evidence. This means that if you want a good night’s sleep in my house you have to lock yourself into [...]
