Many of you know that Josh and I are enduring an agonizing wait over where we’ll be living in 2-3 weeks. Most of this is beyond our control and not worth mentioning…let’s just say it’s been nerve-racking. At my Mom’s suggestion I conducted the following experiment to see where Hobbes preferred we moved:
Exhibit A: Wet Cat Food Representing Denver

Exhibit B: Wet Cat Food Representing Seattle

Hobbes was actually extremely suspicious about the entire experiment. She thought we were up to something, (well, I guess we were). Most likely she thought The Cage wasn’t far behind with a trip to the vet. At any rate, I placed her at equal distance between both plates…and she wouldn’t budge. It wasn’t until after we left the kitchen that she made her choice:

Not a huge surprise, considering that’s all I talk about these days. However, Hobbes was born in Summity County, Colarado at the impressive altitude of 9,000 feet. It impresses me that she would want to leave her birth state behind and live at sea level for a while. (Than again, she’s only a cat).

Well, it’s not exactly like we’re letting the cat make the decision for us, but her input is valued. On second thought, it’s not. I think I’ll eat her for dinner tonight…
