Wedding Ring 3

Posted on March 13, 2003 in Cats Possessions Relationships

We still haven’t found the ring. Raye wrote that she found her glasses in her dog’s bed.

It’s making me wish that we had a dog. Cats just don’t pick random things up in their mouths and move them off to a personal treasure chamber like that. I have known cats to play with random toys and push them around until they end up under a chair or a gigantic bureau or bookcase that you require the assistance of the Army Corps of Engineers to move, but never have I known one to be a packrat.

Those neat piles of toys that you see all over our house when you come to visit? The cats didn’t make them. We did. From time to time, we walk around, picking them up and stacking them by the fireplace. Next to a tigre (in this case, a leopard — any large cat that isn’t a lion gets called a “tigre” in Spanish it seems) statue. In time, the cats get bored, we throw them one of the toys, and they bat it around until they can’t find it anymore. Or they get bored and just leave it right where I am going to trip on it in the morning.
