Crazed Cat Fax I have heard of the DOG that ate the homework BUT a cat?

We have a client who tells stories about her cat being addicted to the fax machine. Apparently her husband works from home – the cat slowly learned the sound of the fax machine and that after it beeped it would feed out a fax. The cat started coming when the fax beeped and grabbing the fax and running through the house with it (away from her husband who would occassionally be chasing for an important document). He would then proceed to shred the fax to little pieces. It has progressed to the point where he now stands on the fax and presses buttons until it feeds out a piece of paper for him to shred!

Doggie Dictionary lol We needed this yesterday - to better understand our pets:

Leash: A strap which attaches to your collar, enabling you to lead your person where you want him/her to go.
Dog Bed: Any soft, clean surface, such as the white bedspread in the guest room or the newly upholstered couch in the living room.
Drool: A liquid which, when combined with sad eyes, forces humans to give you their food. To do this properly you must sit as close as you can and get the drool on the human.
Sniff: A social custom used to greet other dogs, similar to the human exchange of business cards.
Garbage Can: A container which your neighbors put out once a week to test your ingenuity. You must stand on your hind legs and try to push the lid off with your nose. If you do it right you are rewarded with margarine wrappers to shred, beef bones to consume and moldy crusts of bread.
Bicycles: Two-wheeled exercise machines, invented for dogs to control body fat. To get maximum aerobic benefit, you must hide behind a bush and dash out, bark loudly and run alongside for a few yards; the person then swerves and falls into the bushes, and you prance away.
Deafness: This is a malady which affects dogs when their person wants them in and they want to stay out. Symptoms include staring blankly at the person, then running in the opposite direction, or lying down.
Thunder: This is a signal that the world is coming to an end. Humans remain amazingly calm during thunderstorms, so it is necessary to warn them of the danger by trembling uncontrollably, panting, rolling your eyes wildly, and following at their heels.
Wastebasket: This is a dog toy filled with paper, envelopes, and old candy wrappers. It is important to evenly distribute its contents throughout the house before your person comes home.
Bath: If you find something especially good to roll in, humans get jealous and use this degrading form of torture to get even. Be sure to shake only when next to a person or a piece of furniture.
Lean: Every good dog’s response to the command “sit!”, especially if your person is dressed for an evening out. Incredibly effective before black-tie events.
Bump: The best way to get your human’s attention when they are drinking a fresh cup of coffee or tea.
Goose Bump: A maneuver to use as a last resort when the regular Bump doesn’t get the attention your require … especially effective when combined with The Sniff. See above.
Children: Short humans of optimal petting height. Standing close to one assures some good petting. When running they are good to chase. If they fall down, they are comfortable to sit on.
Love: A feeling of intense affection, given freely and without restriction. The best way you can show your love is to wag your tail. If you’re lucky, a human will love you in return.

A 2,500-year-old bird's nest has been discovered on a cliff in Greenland (featured image, top). The nesting site is still continually used by gyrfalcons, the world's largest species of falcon, and is the oldest raptor nest ever recorded.Three other nests, each over 1,000 years old, have also been found, one of which contains feathers from a bird that lived more than 600 years ago.
