Do Cats Have Pockets?
I swear, I don't know where Buffy manages to hide her toys. She has a
little red ball covered in velveteen fabric she adores. And two golf balls. Last week the red ball disappeared. I tore the place apart looking for it. Moved the couch, looked under and behind everything. No luck. Then one evening it reappeared just in time for her to want to play. Since then the two golf balls vanished into the either... or were beamed to the Mothership. Again, I looked all over, couldn't find them. They have not shown up. I gave her a spare golf ball and she was happy. Where on earth do they manage to hide these things? Buffy is unusual in that she only plays with her toys in the living room. She has never batted or carried any of them into another room. Beats the heck out of me what she did with those two golf balls... unless she has pockets. Or a pocketbook. Jill |

He has a cat bed that he adores--large, round, soft. He tucks toys into the inside seam. The last time I "cleaned house" for him, I kept reaching down into the seam to pull out toys. One by one, I kept pulling out toys until I finally had a pile of more than a dozen of his favorites! Holly (RB) used to do the same thing. Her favorite toy was a little leather mouse, but it had to be red. I would find several of them tucked into the seam of that same cat bed. She used to bring one of them to me every evening. I would hear this "moaning" sound, and then Holly would enter the room carrying her little red mouse. MaryL |

Ours always manage to find the golf balls at around 2am. And we have bare wood floors. In our old flat, underneath the piano was the feline savings bank. Pencils, ping pong balls, plectrums, film spools, oatcakes, anything that might come in handy someday when the humans weren't providing enough entertainment. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |

Under the couch is a veritable treasure trove. The door to my hall closet has a gap at the bottom, and I discovered several cat toys in that closet. |

"Look what I caught" Lucy, my tabby, has no interest in toys. But for some reason, she loves grape stalks... I have learned the hard way not to leave a bowl of grapes unprotected, otherwise they tend to disappear. |

Grapes are toxic to dogs and can cause kidney problems in cats. MaryL |

Lucy doesnt actually eat grapes (to my knowledge) but loves to play with the stalks for some odd reason. |

Buffy saw the Big Orange Cat. I thought Buffy was "plump"... this cat was HUGE! It walked right across my back yard and onto the patio. Buffy saw it and started YOWLING. HISSSSSS! I tried to get a picture of it but by the time Buffy scared it off it was moving too fast. Unfortunately, I suspect my neighbor is cat-sitting again. The cat ran off towards her patio. I say unfortunately because she seems to think all cats (even those that are not hers) should go outside. The last time a cat on the patio upset Buffy she was cat-sitting. She takes them into *her* home rather than taking care of them in their own homes. And she lets them out. In what I would call unfamiliar territory. I don't like it and I don't like Buffy being upset. She finally has a nice quiet home. Of course I will not accuse my neighbor of this. But if I happen to see her outside tomorrow I might mention Buffy seeing a very large orange tabby and getting upset. She'll likely tell me if she's cat sitting. She did the last time this happened with a long-haired cat named Blacky. I know lots of people let their cats run loose but where I live is really not a good place to do it. Too many predators. I do have to wonder if the people she cat sits for know she lets them out in a "strange neighborhood". Jill |
