Uh oh

Oh Hell. Perrine just discovered that my keys make jingly noises when she plays with them. I hope I can find them in the morning when I need them.

(Chanting, "Do not assume intent where shiny and jingly are sufficient explanation ... Do not assume intent where shiny and jingly are sufficient explanation ... Do not assume intent where shiny and jingly are sufficient explanation ... Do not assume intent where shiny and jingly are sufficient explanation ... Do not assume intent where shiny and jingly are sufficient explanation ... Do not assume intent where shiny and jingly are sufficient explanation ..." Even if she did try to tell me to go to bed just beforehand. And even if she is smart enough to know that I need the keys when I go away and leave her alone. Nah; shiny and jingly is sufficient explanation...)

Perhaps now would be a good time to find all the defunct keys and make a Perrine ring with them. Kitchen junk drawers accumulate them, I find. (Keys, that is -- though somehow I'd not be shocked if yours accumulated something furry and playful ;-)

Not unless you can convince her that the real keys are not in the set of "things I am allowed to play with and consider mine."

What taste does she really really dislike? You might need to put some on your keys for a while. The only problem is getting the taste on your hands, then.

I wouldn't be so sure. One of my cats has "keys" associated with "outside", which, to her also equals "bad place". So every time I pick them up, she bolts away from the door. And Perrine has already demonstrated she's a lot smarter than the average cat. :)

When we go out and come back our cats meet us at the door, I can only assume they can hear the keys jingling in the outer hall. But only when I am the one unlocking the door, when G uses his keys and we have to walk in before they come running from the other rooms. My key ring is brass and has a distinctive ring to it. Luckily my keys are too heavy for Lily to pick up and drag around the house. But I once went to bed and left my pocketbook unzipped and found the contents of it strewn around the house the next morning. Hmm... nail file, whats this doing on the floor... nail clippers, Hmmm... chapstick? huh...

Too heavy is a good solution. When you walk into the house, clip them to a brick on a lanyard next to the door.

Perhaps it's time for a hook to hang them on (and out of feline reach)?

new toy

James knows I'm going out because I run around finding things and getting dressed. Pulling out keys confirms his suspicions. The kittties don't like the hubbub and generally don't care. But no, Perrine is not average. I feel a toy concept coming on...

Update: Perrine lost interest after noticing that the keys don't bounce. Too much work to keep them jingling. Ping pong balls and fur mice with plastic bodies under the fur are more entertaining to bat around. *whew* So if she plays with the keys again, they at least shouldn't get moved too far.
