She laughed, and said "That's crediting them with more consistency than they deserve. Perverse creatures. Good thing they're so appealing."

They hunt for the dum hoomins to eat

I sometimes think I was just a walking "warm place to sleep" to a few of the cats I've known. They'd sit there and kind of 'herd' you to where they wanted you to sit, and then jump up into your lap and stars above help you if you tried to move once they were settled!

Yeah they tend to get butthurt if you move them while they're settled in
Unless you're giving them scritches

Or it's Mop
MYEEEEEEEEEEEEH
No Mop you can't steal that pipe cleaner ._.

Pipe cleaners are a personal play toy for Mop?

Yup
And he plays fetch with them, especially on the stairs
This includes picking it up and bringing it back up to be tossed down again

Oh wow, I've never heard of a cat who will do that! How on earth did he figure out that this was a useful thing to do?

I have no idea
He doesn't always do it tho

It would be far more alarming if he did. A consistent cat would be a cat I'm deeply suspicious of...

(I do love cats, though. They're just such individualists.)

I put the pipe cleaners away and Mop got butthurt XD
