Has He Learned?

I don’t know if Ginger has learnt anything from the two days of being humiliated by the green-netting because yesterday, I saw him peeing in the litter box in the bathroom – TWICE.

Well, to be fair, previously, he also pee-ed in the litter box but stopped doing this for some weeks now.

In any case, the spraying has nothing to do with having no place to do a proper pee. The spraying is all about marking territory.

Our Cow, Bunny and Indy do proper pees by squatting at the drainholes, but they still “have to” spray to mark territory.

Feeding Ginger chicken reminds me of some mothers who have to run after their child who cannot sit still, with a bowl of food.

If it’s duck or quail, Ginger would happily eat it and ask for more. But if it’s chicken, no. He’d rather go mooch around the house, looking for potential targets to spray on than to eat.

He did not even finish his 37g portion of chicken today. He was too busy sneaking around the house. And yes, I was running after him with the bowl of food just to ensure he’d eat something for the morning.

Ginger: What are you serving us today? Chicken? No, I don’t want chicken. I want to go spray on something. You want me to sit quietly and eat? Give me quail or duck.
