Don't worriez wi savez UUU!
Yesterday I was baking egg shells to grind up into powder and add it to the feed for my chickens, but I got sidetracked and unwittingly had the oven on way too hot. I went into another room and was happily pottering around in there when I happened to glance at the doorway, and saw my cat, Solly peering around the corner at me. As soon as I looked at her, she ran off. I thought nothing of it, and went back to what I'd been doing. A few seconds later, I looked at the doorway again, and Sandra's cat, Ami was there peering around the corner at me. When I looked at her, she made a funny 'chirrupping' sound and she too ran off.
Curious, now, I followed her and was immediately struck by a strong, nasty smell of burning.
"Omigosh! The eggshells!"
Both cats were hovering at the kitchen door looking at me, then into the kitchen. They were obviously trying to tell me that something was wrong.
And people say animals are dumb? Dumb or mute, they may be, in as much as they cannot speak our language, but stupid, no way! They knew that the black smoke and the bad smell coming from the oven was not a good thing and they made certain they let me know about it!
I couldn't help thinking of the lolcatz site and the kittehs both trying to say "Don't worriez! Wi savez UU!"

Animals may not speak our language, but they are definitely not stupid. I've seen with my own animals that they are very smart. So much smarter than most people give animals credit for.
I'm glad the cats were doing their best to alert you to the eggshells burning.
Awww they saved you! And they were worried about you. That is so sweet. Animals are amazing, nicer to us than we as a species often are to them. Glad it ended well!
i haven't been here in so long...glad u are ok..burnt eggs shells don't sound like they taste very good...even un-burnt egg shells are a stretch for me:) Smart Kitties:)
@RobinAmyBass - Hi Robin it's great to hear from you! I didn't use the eggshells after all that, just threw them into the trash. LOL
