Bad Cat!


Arnold has an unusual habit of going on the prowl at dawn. He walks around emitting a mournful howl while trying to open cabinet doors or push aside the venetian blinds in our bedroom. We have had to take down a framed picture from above our bed because he tries to push it aside apparently thinking it is a door.

Last night he pushed on a lamp on the bed headboard and it came crashing down, luckily not on my head.

What happened next gave both Peggy and me pause. Immediately after the crash he quietly left the room like he knew he did something wrong. We are probably over anthropomorphizing but the behavior seemed unusual.

Oh, by the way, the photo shows one of our less active cats, Tom, surveying the crime scene.
