    Lock and Key

     

    My daughter learned she could not leave anything carb out on the counter, or the cat got it and would eat it. My favorite story was she and her partner at the time came home late from a hockey game with a dozen Krispy Kreme's they had won for something. Put it on the table in the sealed box and crashed. They heard a thud in the early morning hours and ignored it until morning because they just couldn't get up. When they got up, the box of donuts was face down on the floor and one of the donuts was poking out the side, half eaten. (yes, this cat eats french fries, bread, etc.)

     

    They had to lock stuff up and put the cat on a diet because it would literally eat anything it could sink it's teeth into.

     

    I recommend locking cupboards

    Gopher, you know you need to ask the Cat what it's name is.

     

    "The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
    It isn't just one of your holiday games;
    You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter
    When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.
    First of all, there's the name that the family use daily,
    Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo or James,
    Such as Victor or Jonathan, or George or Bill Bailey -
    All of them sensible everyday names.
    There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,
    Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames:
    Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeter -
    But all of them sensible everyday names.
    But I tell you, a cat needs a name that's particular,
    A name that's peculiar, and more dignified,
    Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular,
    Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?
    Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum,
    Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat,
    Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum -
    Names that never belong to more than one cat.
    But above and beyond there's still one name left over,
    And that is the name that you never will guess;
    The name that no human research can discover -
    But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.
    When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
    The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
    His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
    Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
    His ineffable effable
    Effanineffable
    Deep and inscrutable singular Name.”
    ― T.S. Eliot, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats
