Mole Cat

George and I would like to explain a new nickname that I have give him.  I call him, Mole Cat.  With this explanation will be a small insight on George's shoe fetish as well...

Mole Cat.

People always wonder what their pets do when they are not at home.  I know that I for sure wonder!  My family tested that one summer vacation with my cat Peppermint.  We went to Disney World and called the house.  The phone rang once, twice, thrice, and just before ring number four, we heard the phone pick up on the other end and heard the softest sound of a meow!  Peppermint was answering the phones!  But wait, if she was answering before our call, how is she answering now... the phone we thought would then remain off the hook.  So we tested that theory.  We all said by-bye Pep, and low and behold, the cat put the phone back on the hook!!

But back to Mole Cat.  I know what George does for 80% of the time I am gone...sleep.  He loves to nap, being that he is a cat, but my cat doesn't normally nap in the sunshine of the window.  He doesn't normally nap on the big comfy comforters on my bed.  No.  He naps in places way to small for him :)  He naps in hidden places that are nearly impossible to find him in if you aren't looking carefully.  His main 2 places are under my bed in the back corner between an unused fan and the headboard, and on my shoes in the closet.

So when I get home, I of course look for him if he doesn't greet me at the door (which he does 90% of the time).  But on those days when he is hiding, the days before I learned his hiding places, I would call out MOLE CAT!  and he would call back MAMA! and slink out of his hiding place!  No other name would work.  I would call his name or his other thousand nicknames, but MOLE CAT works every time!

So when you come by, and for some reason you can't find George, call out MOLE CAT! and George will find you :)
