2. When my 19-year-old cat starts to retch, he runs to his litter box.

He stands beside it and then retches into the box.

Don't know how he picked this up (I did not teach him this), but he has done it since he was young.

He is a true treasure.

Yep, he can turn doorknobs, open cabinets, get into the refrigerator. Midnight Writer Aug 8 #5
