Correction: Abelard Found STANDING in pool.....

The answer came several day's later. Clifford had jumped on my
ex's desk, and ran across the office-style telephone. He
managed to step on "speakerphone" and a speed dial button.

My sister's cat called me one time.

Clifford definitely understood the game of hide and seek, but considered
it
very much a rules violation if he was found merely because his tail stuck
up.
He made it clear that he believed his tail to be invisible
when playing such games.

Clifford sounds like he was alot of fun.

He was the only cat I knew that was proven to have made obscene phone
calls. One day, my ex-wife and I received a Very Serious phone call from
a distant telephone company, saying harassing and obscene calls had been
traced to this number. On asking for the times, we were mystified.

Coincidentally, my mother-in-law mentioned she had been getting heavy
breathing phone calls.

A very intelligent cat, he recognized voices over the phone, definitely
of people he knew, but occasionally a stranger saying a word such as
"cat". When my M-I-L answered, Clifford, logically enough, went to
greet her, by sniffing into the microphone. Of course, what this sounded
like...

When the mystery was explained to all concerned in a hysterically funny
conference call, my M-I-L's last words were "well, he COULD have at
least said meow."

ROFL!!!!
