Master Tricki Woo!
Indeed!
The greatest books ever written, especially if you're an animal-mad teenaged girl. I have the entire series, plus most of the stories published in single format, or smaller collections, too. Always more than entertaining. The BBC series was decent, but the books are just classics.

I did find out why he is such a touchy-feely cat, his real name is something like 'Peepers' because he was born with over large eyes. They look normal now but they are a little defective, and he can't see well with'em so, he likes to feel that you are there...
The other crazy thing as a male cat he has no reason to be doing; he's steals my clothes! The more recently worn the better, if I don't shut my bathroom door, he's immediately into the hamper and draggin away my sweat pants or socks! I've had rabbits steal tissues to build beds when it was nesting season, but this is a MALE CAT.
Loca, mine also loves to sleep in my clothes. I think its a soothing thing -- your clothes smell like you, so he can pretend you're home and cuddling with him. It can't be for his fashion sense

I had a cat who liked to sleep in the dirty laundry basket. We went away for two weeks (with a cat-sitter coming to visit every day), and there was nearly an inch of cat hair on the top of the clothes...also had a German Shepherd who like to eat dirty underwear. Ick.
As you all know I have some home improvement stuff going on at home.
So tonight I'm grilling some chicken breasts and while I'm waiting I'm tidying up the garage. I untie the cord from the hose (which i used to hoist it up to the deck as well as keep it up there) and wind up the hose. I wrap up the cord as well knowing that I'm going to need the cord in order to hoist up the railing I decide to toss it up to the deck since that will be the best place I'll be needing it. Little did I know Misty was enjoying the out of doors at that moment.
Needless to say I scared the crap out of the poor little thing.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.
