My little guy loves pipe cleaners. I get him the extra fluffy ones. He'll fetch them when thrown and carry them around the place. I have to hide my own supply! I use a plastic pencil box he can't open.

Watching Andy Griffith with the guys (looks like they've already seen this one)
@Derby Today is St Francis Feast Day. I think Bogey deserves some treats!
This is Piper, the best cat I’ve ever met. Loves tummy rubs, doesn’t have a mean bone in her body, and is as cute as they come. I found her behind a dumpster at a very difficult time in my life, and she brought me a lot of peace. Since then, one of my biggest priorities in life has been returning the favour and ensuring she enjoys the best life possible. She eats better than I do! Quail eggs, fatty salmon, nothing but the best!

Thank you! I do in fact write poetry which no one understands, which tells me I'm doing my job and that my work might be above average

Where did you copy this from? I love the hidden malice for the humans, though when there is punishing peeing I guess it is no longer hidden

It’s been on the internet for quite a while, I don’t remember where I saw it first. There is also a dogs journal and versions of both geared towards dog or cat peopleWhere did you copy this from?

Bad kitty! A while back one of our two cats decided overnight to poop on the rug in the master bathroom. I cleaned it... he did it again... I cleaned it again.... he did it..... you get the idea. We finally gave up and removed the rug. Yesterday we went out garage sailing and by pure luck found a perfect replacement. It's about a $200 rug we got for $10 and is like new. (Boy, do I love garage sales!}. Last night we put it down and did the test, so far, so good. No poop! I guess it's because he can't smell anything to signal this is the spot. And yes, I cleaned the old rug extremely well, but he has a cat's nose. I know you cat people are on pins and needles to see what happens next, so I'll let you know if he's bad again. 
They say if you have 2 cats, you need 3 litter boxes (we do ok with 2 since our 2 guys get along well). Worth checking what they say here about pooping outside the box. FYI, this is a great reference book:Bad kitty! A while back one of our two cats decided overnight to poop on the rug in the master bathroom. I cleaned it... he did it again...

When our guy started peeing outside the box, luckily I'd read it could be urinary crystals, and we got it diagnosed before it became an emergency.
This is really funny if you know the movie (The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly):

Eight nights ago Oscar slipped out of the house when I went out to check the coon trap. I didn't see or hear him as cats don't exactly stomp their feet when they walk. Shortly after I came in I went to bed. It wasn't until the next morning we realized he was gone. For a week the wife and I have gone crazy doing everything we could think of to find him. We put up signs all over, flyers on people's front doors, visited shelters, walked the neighborhood at night with a flashlight calling him and posted on every lost pet site in our area. I'm happy to say that he showed up at our back door earlier this evening. He was hungry, a little thinner, but otherwise ok. Now we know what it feels like to have a missing child. Tonight we'll have our first good night's sleep in a week.
I'm so glad that Oscar came home. As you say, like a lost child. I try not to yell at my cats, but I make sure they maintain a healthy respect for the door as I enter and exit. So give Oscar kisses from me for his safe return. Yeah!

After worrying us to death for 8 days and nights we decided a chip was not enough to id Oscar. So we got him an id tab for his collar. His name and our phone number are on the back.
