Hmmmmmm.....yes, I believe his paw-writing does resember the ransom note. And he does try to ransom random household items....even Christmas decorations. I"m sure he's trying to tell me to be well-rested....he tries to lay on my face. He has never told me he didn't like me, but he does give me looks that indicate he could do away with me or my loved ones at any time. Especially if I do something unforgivable like shut him in the closet. In his defense, he ate both of my daughter's dance costumes, so I'm not sure he'd be into the pageant scene. He never eats hair that has been bleached or hair-sprayed. He doesn't hesitate to yank out perfectly good raw hair by the folicles, though.
