Never doubt the intelligence of your pets.
``Our cat, Klaus, was displeased when we switched him from mushy canned food to dry food,'' said Nancy Kelem of Los Altos Hills.
``We put his food in a two-part food/water dish and were impressed when he began to move pieces of dry kibble into the water. He quickly learned that putting kibble pieces into the water made them much more palatable'' -- and more like the mushy can food he loved.
``A few weeks after this, we noticed some new objects in the water side of his dish. Klaus apparently had come across some bits of wire in my husband's upstairs workshop. Finding them inedible, he remembered his new way of making things yummy, brought the bits of wire downstairs and dumped them into his water dish!
``This gave us even more respect for Klaus' resourcefulness.''
