I know about this "hole" thing...

Either hole-o-phobia is a common behavioral trait or Clarice and Tinker have a lot in common with my cat, Burrl (my screen-id cognomen). Burrl will find me wherever I am in the house and complain (for hours if necessary) until I cover a "hole" in even just one of the food dishes.

Now crumb-o-phobia... That I know is prevalent throughout all kittydome.

Or, uh, are there some out there that actually prefer crumbs (crumb-o-philia)? I guess any response on this will disprove that assertion.

Burrl is a male flame-point Siamese. If you are wondering how he got such an odd name, this is the story:

We thought he was a "she" until the vet told us otherwise. We had named him Purrl! :O

We did some quick thinking and told the vet receptionist to just add another loop to the "P"! -- Purrl became Burrl, just like that.
