Pilly is in love with Richard's slippers. Deeply in love. He has to put them up on the counter when he isn't wearing them. Even if he is wearing them, she'll sometimes try to take them off his feet. If he forgets and leaves them where she can get them, she will grab and run as if the devil were after her. If you try to take a slipper from her, she will hold on for dear life, her little legs moving as fast as they can on the linoleum and getting nowhere fast. Chaucer also has a foot fetish, but of a different sort. When he wants attention, he will stand right next to your feet. Or between them. Or on them. You dare not move for fear of tripping, so you give in and give him a treat. Or two. Or three. Chaucer also snorkles in water. He'll dunk his head in all the way up to his ears! He also paws at the bowl and gets water all over his belly, then wants to be picked up so he can get you wet too. And he likes to get in the shower. He is definitely a water ferret! Cassie is a little princess and wants to be treated as such. She's a little slow waking up many mornings and wants to be cuddled and petted when she yawns and curls in a little ball. So I can go about my morning routine, I put her in the pocket of my robe, so she is truly a "pocket pet"! When there are other females (of the human type) in the house, she will cuddle nicely, and then give a little nip to let them know this is HER house!
