Cat Burglar

So I'm blogging in full view and full screen awesomeness in the office due to the fact that the whole office has gone for a 1.5 day offsite Business Review & Brainstorming Meeting. I'm not invited because I've already resigned and there are "confidentiality issues". Awesome!

Anyway, I took the opportunity to start moving today over an extended lunch period. Of course, the cats went nuts because there were strange men making lots of noise, and in the chaos, I couldn't find Speedy, the 1-year-old male. I almost freaked out. I thought it was going to be another Pinky: The Case of the Missing Bengal Kitten. And then the movers started to pick up a chunky bedframe and then BAM! he came running out of nowhere. He'd scratched a hole underneath the bedframe and had been hiding in there.

I related the story to my department secretary, a fellow cat lover, and she told me about her friend's cat who's a kleptomaniac. For serious. The cat collects anything - scrunchies, pieces of foil, bracelets, anklets - that's shiny, and squirrels them away in a tiny little hole. No shit. It's incredible. I'd heard of such behaviour from rats, but not cats. I'd love to see it for myself.

So that's that. Another entry will probably follow tomorrow, due to the lack of work and lack of people. Enjoying it while it lasts.
