Poppy has hidden all sorts, she favours my work tag but has done other things, her greatest was my neighbours $400 belt that he lent me, I still have not found it. I am just scared that I will come home one day and the damn TV will be missing!!!

My gosh, how I love that Byron story. But it perfectly illustrates how cats “cache” things for future use. Which makes them pretty smart; just as smart as dogs who do it with bones.

I’ve known for quite some time Duhban’s a hider though not as bad as Byron. But if you leave your cellphone laying around and it rings….well have fun finding it though odds are it’s now shoved way underneath the couch.

The funny thing is that it seems to be the noise and vibration (yeah I was bored one afternoon so I did experiments) I do not know why but it’s how he is.

Still I love my ninja kitty

At my job, we got a locking cash box that had only 2 keys. We had 3 managers, so the idea was that we would swap the 2nd key between whoever closed that night to the next day’s closer. I was first up, and I didn’t put it on my keychain, as I was only going to give it to someone else the next day. But Kitten Byron had other ideas!

It was gone the next day. I crawled all over the floor, looking everywhere and groping under furniture trying to find it. I finally gave up. I had to go to work (and explain why I had no key). I’d find it when I got home. It turned out to be no big deal; we had a spare, and also discovered that our $50 cash box could be opened with a freakin’ bent paperclip.

I didn’t find the key when I got home that night, despite the most thorough search ever. I joked that I might find it in a day or 2 in the litterbox. But I didn’t. I kept looking for weeks, and it never reappeared.

I did finally find it. Just lying on the floor, out in the open. After SIX MONTHS. Byron had hidden it somewhere, kept it there, then brought it out. And a good thing, as the cheap first key had broken in half since then, and so Byron’s key replaced its replacement–which, yeah, was a bent paper clip!
