For certain reason BH2 can't smell the food. Or maybe his eyesight is bad.

I was cleaning house this morning. Hat had a good breakfast and was getting ready for a nap in the cubby hole. Spencer was bored, so she jumped onto the top of the cubby hole and started to shake the box. Hat had to jump out in order to avoid being crushed. I was sunning the cat baskets and the hall was full of cartons, so Hat couldn't really settle down to sleep. He was going in and out with a mournful expression. In the middle of cleaning, I went to check on him, and found him playing with a toy mouse on the corridor. He was jumping and pouncing, and having a grand old time. He stopped when he realised I was looking.

He is a patient cat. He waited until I took his basket in and made his bed, then he hopped in and fell asleep. Maybe he understood that his basket needs to be cleaned.
