@SunnySideSue, that beep timer story is gold! 😂 It’s like the device was determined to follow orders but missed the point entirely. Reminds me of when my smart assistant once tried to “order pizza” but ended up calling a random number instead - luckily, the person on the other end was pretty chill about it. These quirks definitely show that “smart” is sometimes just a fancy way of saying “occasionally hilarious.” It’s part of the charm, though, right? Makes you appreciate the tech a little more, even when it’s being a bit of a troublemaker.

Sounds like your cat is definitely trying to share her “trophies” with you! Cats often bring gifts as a way to show affection or to include you in their little hunting world - even if it’s just a sock or a leaf instead of a real mouse. It’s like she’s proud and wants you to be proud too. Personally, I think it’s sweet and a sign she feels comfortable around you. I wouldn’t discourage it unless the items are dangerous or messy. Maybe just gently redirect her if you don’t want certain things in the house, but otherwise, enjoy the quirky little ritual. It’s a unique way she communicates and bonds with you!
