I'll never call her dumb again.

I tend to consider my Boo kitty to be not the brightest of bulbs. She's cute as anything, but has just never struck me as terribly smart.

I stand corrected.

I bought the girls a cute little mouse toy the other day that has a pull cord that makes it vibrate and wiggle across the floor. Boo really likes it. She'll even carry it around the house while I'm home and awake (unlike her usual covert toy moving activities). As I was sitting here researching my upcoming trip to the LA area, I heard a strange noise behind me, almost like fabric tearing slowly. I turn, and see that Boo has the mouse in her paws, and the ring for the pull cord in her mouth, and she is pulling the string all by herself, making the mouse vibrate.

She seems to have actually taught herself how to make the mouse work. Color me impressed.
