He is too cute, Sarah! You were so lucky to find each other.

Mine don't seem to like that toy, or the one I love that has the little mice that pop out the sides when you roll the ball. By far their favorite at the moment (speaking of things scaring you out of a few years of life) is opening the very heavy sliding closet doors. The previous owners did not have closet guides reinstalled when the put in the carpet, and my beasts have learned they can pull at them enough to get them swinging, then sneak into the closet. Needless to say, the first few times you wake up in the middle of the night and hear doors banging in your empty house........

Boston sounds like such a character!
Good for you and your husband for taking the cat "that nobody wants".

OMG the mystery of the moving things drove me insane!! I thought that maybe I was sleep walking, that Dave was playing tricks on me. I first noticed it because Boston brought out both shoes of a pair that I hadn't worn in months and months because they were uncomfortable. And some nights he would move 8 or 10 shoes and put them all in the living room. Before I would go to bed every night I would scour the house to make sure that all shoes were put away, only to find a pile again in the morning in another room! My mother in law thought I was nuts and that the dog was moving things (but she was always locked out of the laundry room) - until she animal-sat one day, had Riley outside for hours while she was away, and then came home to many shoes moved

That is outrageous! Boy was he working hard.

He finally revealed himself one night when we stayed up late chatting with a guest. We heard Boston meowing and he suddenly walked into the room dragging a sock.

Nice to know you weren't insane & your mother-in-law could relax.

I remember that Cleo made me tidy my clothes - she'd chew the armpits out of my tops if I left them out of the hamper! She was a devil. Cleo would sit beside the coffee table, look me in the eye, rub her head along my book & then slowly open her mouth & sink her teeth into the edges. She would then race out of the room before I could reach her. Another endearing thing she's do was pull on cupboard doors or the front door to make them bang, just as I was settling down for the night. It was a good thing I loved her - what a cat!

Vive would eye a pencil on the table & then you'd see a paw lowly appear over the edge. Then the wild eyes would appear &then she'd kill it. She was our 'pencil cat'. Much sweeter than Cleo.
