Mother and Snoops

Mother commented today that she is great at muti-tasking.

"I can fall asleep while watching TV and working a crossword puzzle," she said.

While she was multi-tasking recently, her cat, Snoops, quietly and deftly plucked Mother's pencil out of her hand. When Mother awoke, Snoops was on the floor chewing the lead point off of it.

Snoops has also plucked a pen out of her hand. How she does this without waking Mother is a mystery to me.
