So that'[s where that went.

I stopped using a pick about 2 months ago but every so often I break it out (mainly when I don't feel like plugging in my amp). Well my favorite pick came up missing last week. Couldn't find it anywhere. It wasn't anything speacial. Just a dunlop tortex 1mm, but it was perfectly broken in and boardering on OCD I won't use another pick. I have a dozen in my gig bag and only ones' been used in the entire year i've been playing. ANYWAY I'm rambeling... so I was cleaning the litter boxes this morning (we have 4 cats so we need more then one cat-crapper) and wouldn't you know there' my pick half burried in the litter. I think it's time to start breaking in a new pick.

Good choice... at least that proves you were only BORDERING on OCD regarding that particular pick...

I have a habit of holding a pick in my teeth when I'm not using it. That would break that habit REAL quick ...

I had a favorite pick for years and years. I got tired of constantly having to keep tabs on it and just went out and bought 30 more just like it. lol

Haaaaaa my cat has swiped picks before, but I've never found em in the litter box! I swear the dog has eaten a few......

Did find one inside the band sign once....took a bunch of shaking to get it to come out of the little hole it fell in.......

My cat steals knobs....I had a Fender 'boner' bass and the knobs had caps that held on the rubber grip and he would snag both the caps and grips and I'd find them later under a couch somewhere. He was obsessed with them because as soon as I'd open the case or set the bass down, he was right there....

I have a cat that makes Darwin look like a jack$#@.

Among the many non-food things he loves to eat, he will bite the high e string on my electric guitars until they break. Then he will chew up the broken pieces of the string until they're all crumpled and crooked. It'll have straight sections about 1/4" long (which I presume is the distance between his retarded teeth) and then a 60 degree bend. Another 1/4", another bend. He'll do this to the entire length of string.

He also eats styrofoam, plastic bags, and bird droppings. He also refuses to eat table scraps like steak, chicken, etc. I sometimes wonder if it's some kind of self loathing thing he has going on.

Does he chain smoke and drink too much coffee? Hates the sun, even life itself? If so, your cat is 'Goth.'

Tonight he was out on the back deck eating a bug, gagging, choking, and foaming at the mouth. Then he caught another bug, ate it, gagged, choked, and foamed at the mouth. Then he caught another bug...

I finally put him inside for his own good. The goth theory is a good one, but I think instead that he's trying to be a circus freak. Maybe I should try to drive a miniature nail into his nose.
