Cat Tales

This morning when we got up at 4:30AM to go over to the other side of the island to see sunrise on 12/12/2012, our water pump turned on. Strange, as we weren't using any water or hadn't flushed a toilet. Ummmm. While going downstairs, Ed heard the washing machine start running. And, checking it out, it had indeed filled and had started its wash cycle. A sheepish looking cat, Kitty Whitty (not being too original we name all cats Kitty Whitty), was rubbing the door and Ed's leg.  So, the mystery was solved. The cat sleeps on top of the washer, she must have touched the start buttom or rubbed up against it. You can see from the photo below that the blue start button is located low enough for her to start the machine. From now on, we'll unplug the machine or try to train the cat to load dirty clothes!

The flash on the camera must have been a bit much so early in the morning!
