But a cat would more than likely play or hide these things, not eat them (I hope). As for paper, any cat person knows that one cannot read the newspaper without the cat lying right on top of the section you're trying to read.

Time to take advantage of this 'retirement' status - and not have to do something when we don't feel like it (as we had to do when working).<br /><br />Thanks for the compliment, but not sure it's a talent... more of an ability that brings joy (does that make sense? hard to explain)<br />Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-67664645215341153412013-04-10T15:38:33.014-07:002013-04-10T15:38:33.014-07:00Thanks, DJan.

If one of the other cats tries to crawl up close to me while he has my attention, he gets insulted and leaves.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-19246603274986694832013-04-10T15:36:14.915-07:002013-04-10T15:36:14.915-07:00Am trying my best to stay well before (and during)...Am trying my best to stay well before (and during) the trip... and yes, pets definitely add to our life.

Toby, a black and white like Tuxedo, will carry them off otherwise, no matter, and put them in his secret hiding place under Laura's bed.
