Gee, too bad the store is so far....I had a cat who went to the store for what he wanted! Of course the store was only a block away.

It's true...my ex-wife & I lived in Lawrence, Kans., and had an old Siamese tomcat who demanded his Purina dry cat chow ON TIME! Well, one day we got a phone call from a little neighborhood grocery.

"Are you the folks who own a Siamese cat? He's down here at the store." (The local kids recognized him and someone knew our name.)
So off we go...one block and around the corner.
   It seems we had run OUT of cat chow, and Mr. Magoo had somehow figgered out where the 'mother lode' was, had gone down, waited till the screen door was opened (very small store), gone down the aisle , found 4lb. bag on bottom shelf, drug it into the aisle, chewed off bottom corner...and was happily having lunch when we arrived, half embarassed, half proud, to pay for the bag and tote Himself and his booty home!

This same cat later, back in Wichita, after we had moved from one house to another, did one of those famous tricks of disappearing, and turning up 2 days later at the old house...almost 5 miles away and crossing a number of major streets.

I hate to imagine what Mr. Magoo would have done if he'd had access to the car keys!
