Do you ever wonder what the cats get up to while you sleep? Sometimes I hear Brazil rushing about in the dark, though he usually sleeps the same hours as I do. Yet this morning, I woke to see the ratty, fuzzy, orange octopus on a volume of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, on my dining table. The book I placed there in the evening. I’ve no idea how the ratty, fuzzy, orange octopus arrived, or why it was placed where it was.
It’s probably best not to think too much about what happens while you are asleep. It’ll keep you up nights.
Ha! I agree, it's best not to know what they get up to, and why. Could we mere humans ever fully grasp their advanced reasoning anyway?
ReplyDeleteMysterious toy invasion.
ReplyDeleteI guess the octopus wanted to learn something. :)
ReplyDeleteToo bad this isn't "Sound-a-Comment". You'd hear me laughing. At the blog and especially your very last line! Thanks for the laughter!
ReplyDeleteWe have security cameras that capture all the fun times!
ReplyDeleteActually, John...your place is haunted.
ReplyDeleteMy Willow has a toy mouse that she carries around and I never know where the mouse will turn up. Many times I've found it in my bed in the morning.
ReplyDeleteIt is his gift to you.
ReplyDeleteAwww...someone brought you a present. :)
ReplyDeleteObviously, one of the cats wanted to look up the "octopus" entry to find out if they can really be orange...
ReplyDeleteAnd ratty and fuzzy...
DeleteMe thinks someone is trying to tell you something but what that would be us anyone's guess
ReplyDeleteYou need a couple of cameras set up.
ReplyDeleteLike Undine, I wondered which volume of the encyclopedia it was.
