Curiosity... what a wonderful thing.
The phrase "curiosity killed the cat" was probably coined by a time
traveller who met my cat, then went back in time. Some of the things that attract Lynxie's attention are just bizarre. For instance, last night I started disassembling my mouse to clean out the crap in it, and within a few seconds of unscrewing, Lynxie, who was in another room, came running in and jumped up on my desk and stuck his nose right into what I was doing. He smelled the mouse and the screwdriver obsessively, even though both items routinely sit on my desk and are normally ignored. Today I was opening envelopes, and within microseconds, there he was, ready to play with the bits of paper that get torn off. When I eat breakfast he will sit right next to my bowl of cereal and politely wait until I give him corn flakes. He devours them with almost as much enthusiasm as he devours his Friskies treats. If I'm getting ice from the fridge and an ice cube falls from the ice maker onto the floor, within milliseconds he runs into the kitchen and searches for the wayward cube. He usually doesn't find it until I kick it in his direction, though, then he plays with it for like 30 seconds and leaves it to melt into a puddle of water that's ripe for slipping on later. Gotta love having a cat. He makes time at home interesting in his own wonderful fuzzy way. } -Z |

She just HAS to smell and touch it, but acts like she hates it when she gets any stuck to her. Around here tape has to be put in a drawer, or it will disappear into that great void which also holds a myriad of other items. -- Steve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html |

I love watching Tiger's nosiness overcome his timidity when he ventures inside. He sometimes forgets to be nervous because he's so busy checking everything out, hee hee. ------ Krista |
