Hmm. Do you have a cat? My cats think everything small, bright and shiny is a toy I provided them just for their fun and amazement.

Today, I found several small missing parts under the sofa and inside the hall closet on the floor where they 'hid' them in their private collection. They especially like tape recorder pinch rollers because they roll when batted with a paw. Endless amusement.

I gave up cats a few years ago...and yeah, You can spend 15 dollars on cat toys...soak them in 10 dollars worth of catnip, and they would rather play with the little thing that comes off the gallon milk jug when you open it.

Spend $300 on beds and places for them to lay around.....but COX cable brought them their FAVORITE little cat bed and hooked it up to my Samsung TV. Before that....they would rather lay on my nursing notes if I have them in a nice little pile on the coffee table.

I love the cats.....I miss the cats, but I now have hardwood floors in a RENTED apartment, so I have been afraid to find a cat again.

I do go see my old cats though. Ativan, Xanax and Percodan are all doing just fine at two other friend's house

I did just find a "jesus clip" in one of the fish tanks though. One of the ten or so I've lost in the last couple years...somehow knew it WOULDN'T be lost if it landed on hardwood floors, so it made SURE to land in the 46 gallon bowfront. Also found an old "eject mechanism" spring BEHIND that same tank...which I had lost when working on a GE 3" color TV/boombox/micro cassette about three months ago. YAY!!!

A very close friend of mine has three cats...they're like furry nuclear reactors--they're always energetic, and getting into trouble. We compare them to Samus Aran's 'Screw Attack' ability from the Nintendo 'Metroid' game series: both have been referred to as 'a mobile ball of deadly energy'. Indeed, everything from screws to vacuum tubes is considered a cat toy. Any small, shiny object is fair game!

"We are Si-Ah-Meeze if you Plee-uhz...We are Si-Ah-Meeze if you DON'T pleeze..." Remember THAT one from "Lady & the Tramp" ?!? Cats are Eeville, just WAITING for the time they can jump up on you when you're fast asleep & Suck all Your Breath out...(grin)

Most of my cat's life has been spent in places with wood floors, and I think wood is better for cats than carpet.....They can't scratch it, and when they have to deal with a hairball you don't have to scrub the puke stain out of the carpet.

Mine rarely messes with my electronics, but likes to lay on my college home work while I'm trying to work on it. She don't need any fancy cat beds the 7"x7"x8' box mom's fruit trees came in has become her favorite spot next to my chair in the dining room(which she always seems to be in around dinner time). She likes drinking straws(she used to fetch them), and string and has been known to collect them under couches. More than any inanimate object she loves small animals...Mice(if she don't eat the ones at the cabin she will be sure to place them or their guts right were you'll step on them barefoot on the way to the restroom in the middle of the night), chipmunks, bugs, squirrels, birds, etc. The only thing of ours that I can recall her absconding with were some metal Risk soldier game pieces.....She would shake the draw string bags open and hide the pointy pieces in lots of places(took us years to find them all) including one of dads shoes(his reaction after trying to put it on was rather amusing)!
