There is this one floor board in the kitchen that squeaks when I or Zoey step on it. But the cats and Laddie don't weigh near enough to cause it to squeak. I'm so used to it squeaking that I tune it out.
However, this night the squeak did catch my attention. It wasn't Zoey or me that stepped on the board to cause it to squeak. I'm not sure what caused it to squeak.
It was late evening and Zoey let me know that she needed to go outside. So we went through the kitchen and I let her and Laddie out into the back yard. I was standing at the back door, looking out the window watching the dogs. All of a sudden, I heard the floor squeak. I turned around to see what caused the floor to squeak.
Well, Maggie was walking towards me. I was pretty sure that Maggie hadn't caused the floorboard to squeak. So I grabbed a can of kitty food and let her take a couple bites. I then walked to the other end of the kitchen. I called Maggie and she came and the floor did not squeak. I let her take a couple bites of the food. Then repeated the experiment several times. Not once did the floor board squeak when Maggie stepped on it.
I'm not sure what or who caused the floor board to squeak. I've been listening and have not heard it squeak unless Zoey or I step on it.
