Very often while half asleep, I try to identify the noise(s) being made throughout the house. Sometimes I can figure it out and then other times I won't find the evidence for days. Gabe loves to knock glasses of water off basin tops, scoot tweezers off dressers, look at himself in the mirror, weigh himself on the scales, walk along the book shelves clearing off whatever he meets and likes, thumping on the suitcase I have stashed in my closet. He is always into making noise and taking over whatever it is that I own. He looks in phone books, dresser drawers, pocketbooks, laundry baskets, trash cans. There is no place he doesn't find interesting. Sometimes I think he is a spy!

My favorite is when I go to make the bed and find beer bottle tops and furry mice in my bed. Gabe likes beer bottle tops and the other two cats usually bring in the mice.

They are such pains in the neck, but I do love them all so!
