We all swear the wife's cat - Virgil - is very.. special.
He's the one the others always manage to talk into trouble. He'll do something blatantly against the rules of the house, two feet from us, and when we yell about it, he gets this expression.. then looks to where the other three cats are huddled together, watching him. They see us noticing them and bolt to various points like they've suddenly sprung similar polarity. Now we yell at the other three when he does something wrong and they're huddled like that.
One day, hubby pulled out a closed and buckled (but not plastic sealed) box of 40 CDs for us to clear some space off drives. This box sat next to hubby's desk, on the floor. Weeks went by and we forgot about the box being there, since the computer room is always a chaotic scramble. Until...
*plip* . . . *plip* . . . *plip* . . . *plip*
I look over, and Virgil has opened the box and is very VERY carefully reaching inside, snagging a claw on the inside of each disc's hole, lifting it OUT of the box, then setting it ever so neatly in a pile... beside.. the box. And this wasn't a haphazard thing, either. The stack was so neat you'd think someone grabbed a handful of blanks and set them there in a column. By the time we realized what he'd been doing, he'd managed to get almost all the discs out of the box, each one flipped upside down from how it had been inside.
Hubby.. once he got over the shock.. scooped up the discs and dropped them back in the box, telling Virgil not to touch them. Virgil scrunched the two mounds with whiskers (his are terribly pronounced) so they were all pointing forward like little white spears and let out this exhasperated little noise, took a couple swipes at cleaning his face, and dipped right back into the box, started pulling them out again.

*dies laughing* Virgil sounds like he is a very special cat :D
sara_dippity:
I want Virgil. He reminds me of my old Bernard. Bernard used to corrupt my grandpa's well behaved dog. It was great.
starrling:
We need to clone Virgil!
(and I want him in my game...unfortunately even the "smart" side of the scale on a maxian cat isn't that smart)
Strangel:
XD
He's an idiot savant. He seems totally retarded.. and I mean that in the medical definition of the word.. but then he pulls these stunts! I told hubby I'm starting to think he isn't as stupid as he pretends to be, that he just ACTS like a dingus so we won't force him to behave or learn tricks.
