The Game Player: Combo Cat Scratcher
It was another one of those dreary, wet winter days and Sandy, the cat, was looking for something to amuse herself with. It was just too nasty to go outside! Besides the fact that she might actually get her paws wet.
Well, scratching on the furniture was definitely forbidden. She knew she would get into serious trouble for that! Ah, the next best thing to do was bite the Snake or Mother-in-Law’s tongue plants that lined the top of the stairwell. She would get scolded, but not in any real trouble for that. What to do? She raced around and over the furniture in the small apartment bit the plants, and still felt restless. Finally, mom came to her rescue. She brought out the SCRABBLE game and set it up on the floor. Since this was one of her favorite things to do, Sandy spent the next two hours happily moving the pieces around on the game board. She was settled down and we had peace once more and she was a happy cat!

Is Your Cat a Collector
Cats can become “collectors” of various objects. Some cats like jewelry and will latch onto various pieces and hide them. My cat was a rock collector, and my neighbor’s cat, Yatzee was a paper collector. He would go out and pick up gum and candy wrappers, receipts, and other various bits of paper. Both cats would bring their treasures into the house and stash them in their favorite spots.
One evening my neighbor’s fuse box caught fire which was pretty scary. She asked me to let the workmen from City Light in the next day to repair it while she was at work. When the workmen arrived I went and opened the door for them, and they just stood and stared in disbelief at the litter all over the house. Yatzee had had a very busy morning! All the trash baskets and tissue boxes had been emptied. When I commented to the workers that her cat had created this mess, I could see that they didn’t believe me. Proof positive, however, was when Yatzee came bounding into the room with the end of the toilet paper in his mouth and the rest of the roll streaming out behind him!
