Too smart cat

Cat Five may be too smart for us. I got Kathi an electric heated throw
blanket last Christmas for lounging in the living room as we turn the
thermostat back (damn natural gas prices are extortionate in NY). Yesterday
instead of it being on Kathi's chair, I found it on the floor in the living
room and Cat Five was laying on it. Such a sweet kitty, I went to pet her.
The blanket was warm, the damn thing was turned on!!! It was turned off
when we went to bed last night, WTF?!?!?! Sometimes when the control hits
the floor, the power button gets bumped, but it takes *two pushes* to put it
up to high, which is where it was found as it was warming her butt! Freakin'
cat!!!! :O LOL!

That's the very reason I did not buy several of the floor
lamps I wanted - an on/off toggle switch on the lamp base
(or on the floor) is NOT a good idea when one has companion
animals!
