My step-daughter came and got her piano today.

Much to Harry and Oreo's delight, when we moved the piano away from
the wall, hundred of little furry mice, kitty balls, bells, and other
toys were found.  It's like Christmas for the kitties all over again.
April, being the dignified grande lady that she is, is pretending that
playing with such kittenish things is beneath her.  I'll catch her
pawing the catnip mousie around when she things nobody is watching
later, though.

Grins,

Lori

Sounds like our clowder on the day we clean the kitchen floor--moving
the fridge is their favourite part.

LOLOL  That's just like Persia!  She doesn't want me to think she's been
playing with a crinkly mylar ball or a little mousie so she sneaks around.
But I'm not totally stupid <G> I know when they have been moved.  Aren't
cats the greatest?

My piano haven't been moved for years. Wonder what are
hiding behind it. Rusty loves to sleep under the pinao bench.

We moved the piano out about a year ago and did a mousie rescue
operation.  It's an upright piano with vertical wooden boards across
the back of it with about a foot of space in between them.  We did a
cat check, found them all, then proceeded to move the piano back.  In
the middle of the operation, the phone rang, we got distracted for a
few moments, then moved the piano back against the wall.  

Didn't think anything about where all the cats were for about 15
minutes when we heard a quiet, piteous squall coming from the dining
room, where the piano was.  Looking behind the piano revealed our
fluffy cat, Harry, pressed against the wall by the piano, sitting
upright in the space between two of the boards.  He's such a goof.

Grins,

Lori

LOL! Similar to my recent carpet cleaning and the cleaner found a
few dozen mousies under the couches. I just followed him around
with a box to put toys in. He laughed at me and my spoiled cats.
Now I regularly do a "clean sweep" under the couches when I don't
see any mousies laying about. :) It's like Christmas, they agree!  
lol

Then, there was a couple of years ago when I had to have a termite
company come in, and the guy came downstairs, saw all the mousie
toys and told me they also do rodent control.

I often wonder what the people who bought our old house found when they
had to replace the kitchen stove. There's a comedian, Bill Engvall, who
describes how their cat loved to bat around his son's little GI Joe
action figures. He says when they moved the stove, it "looked like a GI
Joe POW camp under there."

One of my old kitties (Nosey, RB) used to go into the kids room and
bring out the Lego men- never the blocks, just the human figures and
drop them in the middle of the floor.  I could pick up EVERY Lego
before going to bed and when I got up in the morning, there would be
15-20 of them scattered all over the floor.

Nocturne dismembered a few Transformers in her day (luckily I could put
them back together again.)
