If you were forced to give up one sense, but gain super-sensitivity in another, which senses would you choose?
“Already possessing six super senses we do not really need to give up anything.”
“Yes Tabby, but they say there are only five senses.”
“They being humans, but they do not possess telepathy. We felines are always one sense ahead.
I think I fancy a nice tasty ant meal, there are a few on that leaf on the other side of the meadow. See you later Fluffy. I have returned, they were quite tasty.”
“But Tabby, there are ants crawling around in the lawn. I could feel them with my paws. Why did you go to the other side of the meadow, when they were nearer here.”
“Beause I did not see them Fluffy.”
“But they were right in front of your nose.”
“Are you insinuating that I do not have a super 3-dimensional wonder sight.”
“No, just that you do not see what is in front of your nose. By the way I can smell cow meat. I think Mrs. Human has just taken something out of the fridge for lunch.”
“Yes, Fluffy, the waft of a meat is reaching my nose.”
“Do you think there will be something for us.”
“If we play our paws right. When she serves it, just sit staring at her with that pleading look on your face and she will crumble and toss a few portions our way.”
“Good idea Tabby, she always does. I can feel a flying insect in my whiskers. Think I will take a jump. Got it between my paws.”
“I must say Fluffy, not bad for a blind cat.”
“What’s blind Tabby.”
“Forget it Fluffy, lets go back to sleep to resharpen our senses.”
Dear Tabby and Fluffy, If I sit quietly on the floor to the left of my human when she has dinner, there is always some for me. She always crumbles. You’re right; I should keep her. Yours always, Dusty T. Dog.

Very good Dusty, you human now feels that she has a purpose in life. Do you produce fur balls as well? Just asking.

Dear Tabby and Fluffy, I shed as much as I can. This year, that’s quite a lot. My human alleges it’s because there are real winters here and my underfur came in very thick. I used to like being brushed, but I’m about sick and a half of it now. What about you? Fluffy, I’m sure you didn’t get your name for nothing! You seem to have long, curly fur like my frenemy, Mindy T. Dog. Yours always and forever, Dusty T. Dog

P.S. I was wondering if your telepathy is so good, why are we writing to each other?

We are writing to each other so that the humans can read it and feel more secure. If we did it all in telepathy they would fell threatened and unsafe. The might get the idea that we are planning to take over.

Dear Tabby and Fluffy, I think it would be a hard job to take over. Who would drive us around when we needed it? I know you two don’t like road trips, but I do. BUT I hate the vet just like you do. I think it’s best if we let them believe they are the masters. Yours forever, Dusty T. Dog

One of our dogs is deaf. Completely, as far as I can tell. She does pretty well anyway. Dogs’ and cats’ sense of smell apparently makes up for a lot.

If I have a special treat for fluffy, like ham or chicken, I put it on the floor, tap my fingers on the floor and he follows the noise, he also sniffs his way – it is something like Pavel’s dogs I suppose. Every morning it is tradition that he waits when I arrive, in front of the fridge. I put a small piece of butter on the floor and that is his first treat of the day.
