    This is my cats job. If he hears an ice cube fall he will run in, find it, and start batting it around the floor. Within seconds it’s under the fridge.

      I have two cats and one of them can play with a toy reliably for whole minutes at a time without losing it under a piece of furniture, the other one, instantly pushes it under the sofa. Why?

        I don’t have it on have but some theorize it’s to recreate the endorphin rush they get when you play with them and it’s momentarily out of sight. Having to find it is part of the fun; of course, they’re unable to find it, now…

        Dunno how universally that’s held but I did read it, one time.
