1. She brought in snakes at my previous residences (both of which had a cat door). Note: she did not kill them. Rather she dropped them off in my office or put them under rugs. I am not afraid of snakes but finding live ones in the house is pretty terrifying.
2. She brought me mice from outside (which she carried inside via the cat door). These she did play with (AKA torture). I saved the lives of some...unfortunately some were too far gone.
3. She brought me birds. She was a hunter and proudly dropped off her trophies to me. Horrifying.
4. At my current residence she brought me baby moles. Alas, they received the same treatment as the mice.
5. At my last residence she would often jump into the basement ceiling above my office. Most times she couldn't get down and at one point dropped through the ceiling when standing on an unsteady panel. (Note: it is difficult if not downright impossible to get a cat out of the ceiling).
6. She recently went missing for 24 hours after managing to escape the backyard. It took a fire fighter's extended ladder and 30 minutes to coax her down. (Note: the ladder was about two stories high. It was rather alarming when the firefighter/neighbor instructed me to lean to the right if I felt the ladder was becoming unsteady).
7. She enjoyed "working" with me. This often entailed standing directly in front of the computer screen or laying on my key board. (Note: she sent out a lot of IM's to my coworkers).
8. She cried/spoke to me when she knew it was my bedtime. How she knew I'll never know.
Alley you were certainly a wonderful and exciting adventure partner. I look forward to our future endeavors.
