In the days of mini-cassette operating phone answering machines.. We had a cat who liked the sound of peoples voices. It took us a while to figure out what was happening as we'd have missed messages but one day in my tweens when I was home alone but too busy gaming to answer the phone I observed the following: * Phone ringing, getting on towards 3-4 rings * Cat sprinting down the stairs, jumps up onto bookshelf and waits * Cat listens to the machine pick up the caller and the message they leave * Caller hangs up and the cassettes go all clickety-clack * Cat then reaches with his paw around the bookshelf to smack the big blue button * Message plays back again and is now marked read, light goes out, and no one knows we were left a message Over the years we saw him do this a number of times! Once he hit the wrong button and overwrote the outgoing message with the sound of himself purring.
