We don't know about her I.Q., but our little grey brat-cat Emily's M.Q.
(Mischief Quotient) is very high. We've already told you about other
manifestations of this part of Emily's nature, such as short-circuiting our
house's telephone system (twice), dumping our stereo system on the floor,
eating ribbon off a gift package and regurgitating it on the living room
rug, etc. Now she's into a new venture - moving small items around the
house. First it was a long string of beads from the Christmas tree which I
found the other day in an upstairs bedroom. And this morning I set a pen
beside me on the bed, intending to install a new ink cartridge in it. Emily
marched over, picked it up the pen in her mouth and jumped to the floor with
it. At the bedroom door she placed the pen down, and studied it. Apparently
undecided on what to do with it, she abandoned it and wandered off in search
of other activities. Do any of your cats transport small objects around
your home, and possibly hide them? I'd like to feel we're not alone!
