A friend of mine has a cat that will eat shoelaces right out of the eyelets. The whole freaking shoelace.

I've known cats that do the same thing with ribbon. Unfortantely, the undigestability of the ribbon means it will make a return appearence, and not necessarily the way it went in.

I might have told this story... a friend of mine had a party. One of the guests was blind. Her dog discovered that she could easily steal food from the blind guy's plate. While he was holding it....

Before my puppies became dogs, they would simply eat shoes. No shoe was safe.

Hah! Seriously. And I'm sorry, I don't buy that search and rescue bit. Unless she also thought I was inside the CD case, and the chair leg, and that spot on the wall.

Oh, and Lucy had a puppy thing for socks, too, and she'd use those crazy sharp puppy teeth to try to snatch them right off your feet. Ouch!

Though, a word of warning, Plei's cat wrestled my purse to the ground and was going for the killing bite before it was rescued. Not by me, I was laughing too much.

Same cat will attempt to eat Pete's head on a regular basis, as if he were a human Tootsie Roll Pop.

Nom nom nom! Pete has a flavor!

Have I mentioned that I really adore Shiva? Cause, yeah. That's a great cat.

Yes, but we can be consoled with cute kid pictures and stories. You brought some, yes?

oops.

I've been meaning to upload vacation pics for like a whole week! I'll get to it one of these days.

I do have a treacly story! Lately Isaac has taken to replaying The Runaway Bunny with me, only his version goes like this: "Are you my mommy bunny?" "Yes." Wide smile, "I your baby bunny." "If you try to run away from me I will run after you, for you are my baby bunny." "I don't want to run away! I don't want to run away!" HUGS

No, but it might melt.

Melting would be bad.
