But I&#8217;m learning a great deal about the cats in the neighborhood. They&#8217;re mean, sneaky, and like to make all the dogs go crazy! We have a neighbor who takes in homeless cats, and so at any time of the day there will be cats outside the front window. And you <em>know <\/em>how much I love to look out the front window. The thing that really gets me is, that as soon as the cat hears me yelling at it, it freezes and doesn&#8217;t move for what seems like an eternity. I think it stays there just to make me upset. Bully cat!<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nHere&#8217;s something interesting&#8230; it&#8217;s been studied and <em>proven<\/em>, that a cat&#8217;s memory can last as long as 16 hours, while us doggies have memories that last no more than 5 minutes. Now I don&#8217;t know about the researchers in the University of Michigan who conducted these so called <em>tests<\/em>, but I&#8217;ll tell you that <em>my <\/em>memory lasts a heck of a bit longer than just 5 minutes. <\/p>\n<p>For example&#8230; if Nala steals a bone from me, and then takes it and hides it in the bedroom, I&#8217;ll remember about that bone&#8230; and it could be 15 minutes or more. But as soon as Nala leaves that bone I will go into that bedroom and take that bone back. <\/p>\n<p>And when mom is cooking and drops something on the floor, even if she picks it up and wipes up the spot&#8230; I&#8217;ll be back to check out that exact spot, and lick it to make sure she got it all, no matter how many hours it takes for her to leave the kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing I remember about, are the bones that get pushed underneath the couch. If my brain only remembered things for 5 minutes, how in the world would I remember hours later that one of my bones is stuck underneath one of the couches? <\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.baileybegood.com\/img\/blog\/BullyCats1.jpg\" align=\"left\" alt=\"Bully Cats\" \/>Getting back to the neighborhood cats&#8230;one time I looked out the window to find one of the bully cats actually walking with the lady and the 2 dogs. The dogs were on the leash and the cat was just walking with them! I couldn&#8217;t believe it! <\/p>\n<p>There it was, walking so sweetly with the family, pretending to be so innocent. Even if this lady thought the cat was behaving so nicely, I know the truth.<\/p>\n<p>The cats in the neighborhood are <em>not <\/em>a nice bunch. They walk around like they own the place and laugh at all the doggies that bark at them from inside their houses.  <\/p>\n<p>I won&#8217;t let the cats bother me &#8212; I know my memory lasts just as long as theirs, if not longer. I&#8217;ll challenge any cat to the test! Are there any of you brave enough? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p><P>&nbsp;<\/P><span style=\"font-family: verdana; font-size: xx-small;\"><em>Copyright \u00a9 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.baileybegood.com\">BaileyBeGood.com<\/a>.
