Ohhh - I already know how that story is gonna end.... :~o
It wasn't pretty.
This is also the cat who once in a great while likes to get on a shelf and push items off one by one to watch 'em fall. Fun for him, but...
The worst was when I had the dachsies. He'd push something like, say, a ballpoint pen onto the floor and then sit and watch what they did with it. I'd seen him pushing stuff off for them often enough to know he was the one doing it, but if I walked in on him, he'd give me an angelic look, like "Look at what those *bad dogs* are doing! Aren't you glad you also have sweet little me?"
