Ummmm....What just moved in that drawer?

My morning routine usually involves cooking dinner. You see, I work a nightside schedule, while my husband works dayside, so I make dinner in the morning, bring it to work and we try to eat together in between newscasts so he can head home and I can get on with work. While I was humming along in the kitchen yesterday morning, something caught my eye. I hadn't quite closed the towel drawer all the way and I thought I saw something moving. We have three cats in the house, I thought, so mice shouldn't be a problem. I peered into the crack, and saw two little bright eyes peering back at me:

I wasn't a mouse, but you might call him a little rat! Our youngest cat, Mini, had climbed into the towel drawer and thought it made just the best hiding place. Just to clear things up - don't call Mini "Minnie" like a girl's name - it's "Mini" as in "mini-me." His mom was a neighborhood stray who moved him and his five brothers and sisters into our garage. We got to calling them the "mini-Sammie's," which we've shortened to Mini for him. He's kind of sensitive about it :o)

I'm with Sharon, beware the dryer!!! My cat crawled in AFTER the clothes were dry and I was folding them, apparently he climbed in before I got the door closed as when I was letting the dog out , I heard this faint meow and opened the dryer door and he ran out and never got in again (probably a few hours had passed before I discovered his whereabouts. Have a great 4th of July and hope our military are home by next July 4th

RESPONSE: Oh my goodness! I'm just glad kitty was okay!

Melissa, he's just the cutest. Careful of the dryer our momma cat hid in there.

RESPONSE: You're not kidding - Mini has already displayed a "curiousity" by standing on his little hind legs, with his little front paws on the edge, peering into the dryer! I always have to locate all the kids before closing the dryer door.

Pretty cool!! But it had your mind wandering for a bit I am sure. :) Just how long did it take you to open that drawer?

RESPONSE: You know, I thought about it a couple seconds - then knew exactly what was going on! Mini has hopped into the bathroom cabinet where I keep my hair dryer a time or two!

Wow that is neat. He is so cute. My cat Scardy Cat Bob loves to lay on dirty towels on the basement floor before we can get them in the washer. I think they are so funny. I love our pets.

RESPONSE: Our cats like to lay on the *clean* clothing when it's in the basket! Guess that's an incentive for me to put the laundry away quickly!

HAHA! How cute! He found a nice hiding spot. My cat had found a place that I didn't know about for a long time. We had a chair that had seen better days and the backing had been torn. He had a little nest in there! He had lost 4 collars in there and had all his toys hid away.

RESPONSE: Like his own personal campground!
