Spock is an insanacat.

As any reader of mine might now, I have a cat named Spock. We got him from a rescue shelter, and his black-tabby charm got him a new home.

Well, the cat has had this pass-time hobby of jumping onto the counter and knocking everything off the counter. For a while, he had seemed to have forgotten about his uncanny ability because of Summer, our orange/white cat. She starting playing with him, and instead of the loud, annoying crashes of things falling on the floor, we would hear the louder, more annoying "CATHUMP CATHUMP CATHUMP" of two cats thundering around the house (and, you know how cats are supposed to be quiet and stealthy? Hmph, yeah right..).

But when I got home from school, I sat down with a bunch of grapes and tossed one at the cat, who was sitting on the counter reaching towards some milk. Instead of jumping off the counter, though, he just stopped reaeching towards the milk and pawed at the tiny grape. It rolled around a bit, and he found that immensely interesting. He pawed some more - his usual, 'if I touch it too hard I will get killed' paw - and it rolled more. He continued to do this until it rolled onto the floor, falling on our dogs nose, who quickly ate it. Spock was aghast! He couldn't BELIEVE it fell! He padded over to a little white med container and pawed, knocking IT over the edge. Crash! He was amazed!

This can only mean one thing;

spock has regained his uncanny ability to knock things over edges, then look utterly stunned and innocent.
