When we got a new cat last year, she came from APL with a nice case of the brown screamin' demon. At the time we had a little box in our guest room closet. Well, it went all up the wall and all over the carpet.
While cleaning it, I noticed that the carpet kept shifting around. A few tugs later and boom, turns out we have Hard Wood floors underneath not just out guest room carpet, but all 3 of our bedroom carpets.
Blessing in disguise or something or other.
That's a gift of the magi, lady or the tiger ending there.
