One of my cats, Blacknose, would catch garter snakes and bring them to the house dead. She managed to do this on a regular schedule. She must have known that I do not care much for snakes.
A cat I had and later gave to my Grandmother hid in her shoe box for almost a full day. My Grandmother was frantic that she could not find her cat. She had searched every nook and cranny in her house for her cat. She called her neighbor up to help her look for her missing cat. Her neighbor saw her cat getting out of a shoe box. She had brought the lid back on when she entered the shoe box.
My Siamese cat Sugar once got into a small jacket I had lying on a chair. When I got home from getting groceries, I noticed her sleeping in my coat with her head sticking out of the same area where my head would stick out if I wore the coat.
When my cat Red was a kitten, he went to our Christmas tree, took a gold-colored bird out, and de-winged it. My older Chocolate Point Siamese cat looked at him like what is your problem? Don’t you know that that is an artificial bird? I think Red was a bit embarrassed later on.
I had an older cat named Trisha who tried to catch a rabbit when she was 16. She was very successful at it in her youth. Trisha ran for about an eighth mile at full speed and was entirely out of breath. That was the only time a rabbit ever outdid her. I was amazed that she would even try to catch a rabbit at age 16. She was an awesome cat and lived to be 18 years old.
