Othello's obsession..

Anyone else's cat do this?


Every week I pack my meds in my pillbox for the week.

Othello comes over before I even open the first bottle to sniff the pills in every bottle.
He gets so excited. When I hold a bottle to get them out. As soon as I open it he pulls
the bottle towards himself using the dewclaw on my hand
to make sure I move it to him..

As I hold it tight he crams his little nose in as far as he can
and you can hear him breathing inside the bottle.

If I try to move it away before he is done smelling it
he will hold the edge of the bottle in his teeth so
I can't pull it away without spilling the pills.
So I wait until he lets the bottle go...

He has certain meds he loves the scent of
and others he likes the smell of less but regardless he's gotta sniff them all.

Does not matter where I pack my meds he always finds a way to come over and sniff my meds.
He's done it for three years now. I consider it part of my pill packing ritual now.
He insists.

He never tries to lick or eat the pills,thankfully.
Once the pill is out of the bottle he's not interested in it.
He apparently just really likes how my meds smell inside the bottle.
He is such a weird cat sometimes.

I go through this every week.
