I've told this story before. I used to have a cat named Sniffy and people kept asking me why I hadn't returned their calls because they left a message on my answering machine. I kept saying I hadn't gotten any messages.
One day I was home watching TV and the phone rang and I decided to let the machine get it. Sniffy ran up and listened to the message and then promptly took her paw and smacked the button to play the message. After it played once it was erased, so no wonder I wasn't getting any !
I watched her do that time after time.
I really miss Sniff.
