It rained, and Small Unit (California, USA) saw a worm moving on the patio's wet concrete. Her entire mental model of the world shattered, and she circled it like a lion while meowing very loudly for some time.

All the ways cats are smart
The Spooner the Better
Tiny (Glasgow, Scotland) is a big fan of licking a little bit of peanut butter off a spoon.
Cassiel the chemical warfare cat strikes again!
Cassiel (Ontario, Canada), despite eating the same things as all the other cats, produces intermittent rounds of chemical warfare, and is somehow the only creature not affected!
Previous Cassiel stories are here:

A Cunning Disguise
Bonnie (West Sussex, UK) has disguised herself as a curtain. The pigeons will never suspect a thing! Once they let their guard down, all she has to do is work out how to open the door.
Not So Cloaked
Doug (Somerset, UK) is, in theory, a very camouflaged cat, especially at night. Unfortunately his humans think this may have made him somewhat complacent, and his recent hiding places have not been very thought through. Hiding under a cushion is not quite enough to disappear.
Dirty Methods
Prince (Bristol, UK) likes to sleep in the laundry basket, on the dirty laundry. However jumping up into it can be a bit tricky. Luckily, he's discovered a better way, just knock the whole basket over! Now he can sleep in it easily.
A Day Of Choices
Two balls were placed in front of Doug (Somerset, UK) to see which he would pick. It was not an instant decision, but the humans now know he prefers the yellow bouncy ball over the green wicker ball (today at least).
A Cat In The Right Place
The human has been getting some organisational supplies, including a file organiser for their desk. Lydia (Greater London, UK) is an excellent office manager, and tested it immediately. She reports that it is far too small and that cats cannot be organised.
Pressing Some Buttons
Lisa (Ontario, Canada) is of the opinion that if the humans really wanted the laptop, they would move her. They never do, therefore, it is fine for her to keep sleeping there.
Leave Nothing to Chance
Heavy rain meant that Bonnie (West Sussex, UK) couldn't escort her human to the garage to fetch lunch. He's managed it by himself before, but just to be certain, she stood by the back door, mewing instructions.
