Didn't want a high electric bill. When I would come home in the evening, the light at the top of the stairs would be on. So, the next day I would be even more vigilant about turning off lights. I began to worry that someone was coming in the apartment. Then one afternoon I saw my cat Tov turn on the light switch by jumping up and hitting it with his paw! Talk about relieved! He was the only one of my cats that has ever done that.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
