Our kitten, Smoke, has a few odd quirks, as I'm sure most
kittens and cats do. However, this one is truly weird. We have
a flat stone, which we picked up on the shore of Lake Ontario.
Smoke goes over to the stone and either rests her front paws on
it, sits on it as though she's trying to hatch it, or just
cozies up next to it. She will race into the room and go right
for the stone. A touchstone? Who knows?

Does anyone have any insight into this weird behavior, or have
stories of similar weirdness?



My Bonnie (former feral) lays on the AC adapter of my laptop power
cord. I've always noticed that it's as if she's trying to hatch it.
One of my newest pair (Scarlett) is obsessed with water, and
whenever I either dump the water from the dehumidifier reservoir,
or dump and refill the water dish downstairs, she's right there to
watch the water go down the drain. Related to this odd behavior is
that every morning she knows I'll be doing this ritual, so she sits
on the washing machine, in the dark, waiting for me. The look on
her face as she stretches her face toward me when I reach in the
room to turn on the light always makes me laugh.
