Another mystery....

Mom came home last night and discovered this:

OK - we know he is on the counter, but that isn't the mystery. Nope - notice there is NO collar on the cat. Mozart's collar is red and there was no sign of it. Mom sighed and figured it was at the same place as the camera....and never to be seen again.

Until this morning. Mom was laying in bed and we decided she needed to get up. Tim went over to the window and pulled the shades back. And there, hanging on the hook to hold the curtain back was this:

Well, at least we know the breakaway function works. He must have stuck his head back there yesterday morning before mom kicked him out of the room to go to work and didn't notice his collar was missing at that point.

So, one mystery solved.  :)

Unsolved Mysteries

Mom had to think about this.....

We have some weird mysteries, but sometimes they solve themselves. Like - how was Tim getting his first collar off? Turns out one of the foster kittens was taking it off (swear to cod...we saw it happen). There are several minor ones that happen: who surfed the big box down the stairs? how does the crinkly tube get down the hallway?

But, right now, there is a bigger mystery. See, Ivy likes to sit on the half wall by the stairs. And then she does this:

And then this:

And the mystery?? WHAT THE HECK IS SHE LOOKING AT????  Drives mom nuts (which, knowing Ivy, may actually be the goal, but we don't think so considering how often Ivy can be seen doing this).
