From Not Always Right: Time To Acquire An Office Cat
At work, we have a communal jar of peanut butter, a communal jar of jam, some communal fruit and yogurt, and a communal loaf of bread. We each take turns refilling these things as they run empty; there’s a rotation on the board.
I make myself a peanut butter sandwich with the bread. It tastes off.
Me: “Hey, [Coworker], does this bread seem off to you?”
He smells it.
Coworker: “Yeah. It smells kinda like mouse.”
I picked up the bag of bread to inspect it more closely and discovered a mouse hole chewed in the rear of the bag. I removed a couple of slices of bread and found a mouse and several mouselings nesting in the middle of the loaf of bread.
In a very manly fashion, I screamed and threw the bread. I don’t know what happened to the mouse or her pinkies. Subsequent investigation showed that several of the fruits had been nibbled, and a hole had been chewed into the side of the (plastic) peanut butter jar.
We hired an exterminator, and afterward, management changed the policy: no food in the break room pantry overnight.

No problem. Ten seconds later you’ll be asleep again.

I would think it would be what wakes them and gives them the zoomies in the middle of the night

In all honesty, I don’t think cats care.

Who is going out in the open range and counting fish?

And it better be dolphin-free, otherwise I’ll miss my mid-morning, mid-day, AND mid-evening naps.

Moggy will be really concerned when he starts pooping net. :)

to all appearances, our visiting cats spend most of their time worrying about whether they’re getting more food than the other cats…
