Maybe it's the lack of sleep today, but I find this so cool! Possum has figured something out!
For some reason Possum's collar loosens. I don't know if he does it himself, or what, but Loki's collar has never loosened. They are different brands, though, Loki's is Coastal Pet's "Safe Cat" and Possum's is Aspen Pets "The Safety Collar". I don't know if the whole line is like this, or Possum's is somewhat defective.
Anyway, a couple time a month Possum gets his paw/arm stuck and it will go around his shoulder. He's never really liked his collar, and it freaks him out a bit for me to put it on. So, previously he'd get a little freaked when I'd have to take it off to "rescue" him.
However, last week it was morning and I was sleeping and Possum was being pretty annoying and persistant. When I finally got up I noticed that his arm was caught again. I wondered if he had been trying to get me to help him, but I wasn't sure. But he did it again this afternoon! Again, I was sleeping and Possum was "nosing" me and pawing at my face. I tried to ignore him, and then he started to "nose" under my pillow. He kept doing that, and then I saw that his paw was caught. So, I freed him and tightened the collar, and he got up and settled down near my knees.
Possum sought me out to help him! He knows I can "rescue" him! Aww, what a good boy! I'm going to get him a new collar, but the ones I've seen are the same brand that he's wearing now.
