Through observation and keen intelligence, Kona has determined that the cats are not allowed to be on the kitchen counter. In other words, when one of them hops up there, we scold and remove them, and Kona has taken notice.
So now, she has taken it upon herself to police this activity for us, to much hilarity. For example last night Sasha jumped up onto one of the bar stool chairs, and seemed to be making a move to continue toward the counter.
Kona leaped off the sofa and ran over to the chair and started growling in Sasha’s face. I told her to knock it off and called her back, but she kept an eye on the cat. Every time Sasha peeked over the edge of the counter, Kona was on the case again.
I don’t know where she gets this from.
I’m gonna need Kona’s services once Boom! gets a little bigger. Does she commute? She’s smart, she can probably read the ferry schedule.
I think it depends on the cat. She only does this bossy bitch act with Sasha. She doesn’t dare try to tell Simon what to do. This morning Simon decided to hop up on my dresser to lick the bottom of my cereal bowl. Kona was aggravated by this, but wasn’t nearly as vocal. Because Simon outranks her and she knows it.
Kona must have a little sherpard/border collie instincts. Probably will have the “babe” corralled and generally protected from all fault.
