Easiest Path

Dammit Cat,

You have a full bowl of food. It is out where you can easily get to it. That is why I have to ask-why did you make a giant mess to get to a piece of dog food?

Yes, it fell behind the holder that the dog's water bowl is in. Did that mean that you had to figure out how to shove the holder aside to get to it? While I am impressed with your single-minded determination to get a single little treat, it hardly seems worth flooding half the kitchen over. What makes it more baffling is the fact that whenever I offer you a piece of dog food, you ignore it.

Is the work making it taste all the sweeter?


...Wait. You... You pushed the holder out and splashed water everywhere to get to the dog food, then you just [i]left the piece in the middle of the floor[/i].
