We've had a number of weird cats over the years from Maia who believed in food, love, and the extermination of all other life; Beluga, the head-injury cat, who would walk a couple miles a day in time to music; and Horace, who would carry socks around the house while crying piteously. But Oso is, hands down, the weirdest cat we've had. Since we got him two years ago, he would pull q-tips out of the bathroom cupboard and leave them scattered around the house with special emphasis on leaving them in the food bowls. Today, I watched him with a q-tip at the food bowl and he dips the q-tip into the food, pulls it out, and licks the food off the q-tip, and repeats. This might be the first evidence of a cat using utensils.
