Another stupid pet trick story...

I probably would've shared this with you anyway, but after reading Bonnie's story I had to post it now;
Most of you know I have three cats and a dog. Marty brought home a purple mum for me for Easter which I placed on the kitchen table. Before he went to bed, he noticed my one cat, Milo up on the table (yes, we do not have any control in our house), sniffing at the plant and looking to taste it. Marty then moved the plant to our kitchen counter, directly next to our trash can. Now, our trash can is very tall and it has a a flap on the top that swivels back and forth when you toss something into it and when it stops moving it will close. Well, sometime in the middle of the night, Milo decided he was going to try and get those flowers again. Apparently, he must've stepped on the top of the trash can cover and fell in!
I woke this morning and got the animal's breakfast ready. When I put it out, I didn't see Milo, so I started calling for him, looking in closets, in the basement, the garage, etc. I woke Marty up because I started to panic. We both were searching and Marty just happened to look inside the trash can when he saw two little eyes looking up at him! The poor kitty - he doesn't meow much and I had already tossed an empty cat food can in there, not looking inside.
So, Bonnie, it just may be that our pets are getting Spring fever or something and are just acting funny or something!
