Intelligent pets

I had a flatmate once with 4 cats. The oldest cat was originally a stray. My flatmate was the cats third owner. The first owner had emigrated, necessitating a LOT of packing.

The poor cat always associated suitcases with being left and would get distressed whenever she saw them being packed. Fortunately for her (and the other 3) my lovely friend is devoted to her feline babies.

Our cat has trained DH!

Our dog is only allowed on the old sofa in the conservatory, if she wants to change sides and your sitting where she wants to be (and the starring at you doesn't work) she will go to the door to be let out so you get up and then run back to the sofa and pinch your seat.
She is also aware that my husband needs to sit down sometimes when we're out on a long walk and will go and wait beside a bench. He says its uncanny how she knows his legs are starting to hurt. She's a weimaraner.

Many years ago (about 4o-ish) my dog, an Alsation named Lucky, opened the front door and let the plumber in.

Neither the dog nor the plumber seemed to find it unusual....
