- Our apartment is a graveyard for those blue rubber bands--they are
- everywhere!! Our kitty does basically the same thing as Tamora,
- only she jumps up on the couch with a rubber band in her mouth, and
- then let it drop down into the cushions where she can't get to it
- (rocket science is not exactly her forte).
-
- She also LOVES bottle caps. The white ones that twist on top of the
- 16 oz. coke bottles. Those are now all over the $%#@ apartment! She
- has learned to identify a bottle cap that is still attached to the
- bottle, and dives on top of our cokes when we set them down. We
- picked up the couch cushions yesterday and discovered several bottle
- caps. We've been trying to figure out a way to create a Stupid Pet
- Trick out of this!
