eom

Now to move on the figuring out what the motivation is. That's much harder.

Denis apparently likes his loot pre-killed.

would bring me silverware and jewelry. Miss that cat.

Harry (siamese) regularly steals socks, hair bobbles, ribbon, wash clothes, etc... and stashes them in his basket. It's hilarious to watch. He will look around all innocent like... then let out a mew or two, then he nabs the object and packs it off. Sometimes he brings his latest treasure to us in the evening during tv time... but we're only allowed to admire, not keep. lol

but I'm imagining a clowder of cats canvasing the neighborhood for jewelry and electronics.

The resident cats here only conduct experiments in gravity, just push things on the floor, and nothing too big, mainly lighters and pens...
