5,000 CAT TOYS

KITTY TREASURES -- UNCOVERED & DISCOVERED!!!

When I was a child, I had a fleeting desire to be an archaeologist and go excavating. Today I got my wish.

We've been busy little bees today, moving tables and chairs and cat condos and silk plants and lamps and our 6-ft tall giraffe statue so that we can get our carpets cleaned tomorrow morning. We've had the carpeting in the front half of the house for 2 years, and this is the first time we've had it professionally cleaned. In just 2 short years, it seems that our industrious cats have managed to hide about 5,000 cat toys under (or behind) furniture in every room in our house. And, in addition to cat toys, we've discovered a treasure trove of plastic bottle caps, bread twist-ties, pens and pen caps, strings, shoelaces, one dehydrated baby carrot, a half dozen earrings (so THAT's where they went!), several bracelets, toothpaste caps, dental floss picks, Q-tips, rocks (where did they get rocks?), dice, Trivial Pursuit pie wedges, two keys, one bra, two socks (not a matched set), several quarters, one old phone bill, a pair of sunglasses, and a mitten. The only reason we didn't find a bowling ball was because it wouldn't fit under the furniture!

I think my cats are kleptomaniacs.
