Cats make wonderful pets and can be very entertaining to watch. Their behaviors can also be a bit eccentric at times, such as the cat who has been calmly and deliberately cleaning himself for an hour and then suddenly tears off down the hall and up the side of a door.

peering down as though a mouse might conveniently pass his way. Although sometimes odd, they can certainly make you laugh.

As you survey the ruins, you should realize that this can't continue, but what's the answer?
