My Very Clever Girl…

Gossy hasn't ever done that with her water bowl but has with her food dish.
When she's hungry she'll nudge it and paw it until she can get it turned over then grabs it and THROWS it at me. :D

Ours also nudge their bowls when they want more water. We have 2 bowls with water at all times, one on the first floor and one on the thrid floor. We have a front porch off teh second floor that they love to lie in the sun on and when the weather is right we will put a bowl there as well. Since a couple are on hard tile floors they make a huge racket when they are shoved around. They will even pick them up and move them so they slam down and I think they might break. We have found the bowl several feet away when we did not come in time.

The way those little feet can grasp and manipulate things, it's almost as if they do have a psuedo thumb (like pandas).:)

Opposable thumbs are often related to species that are considered to have a higher order of thinking. Those of us here that have ever said "How the h*** did the dog(s) do that!!" may secretly think they just hide their thumbs till we're not looking :D.

Higher order of thinking? Who knows. Prankster order of thinking? Absolutely!!
