This story makes me so glad I asked about cats!You just reminded me - many years ago I lived in a house that was one room thick and had 5 floors. The kitchen was in the basement and my home office with fax machine was at the top.
I had a cat who could hear an incoming fax from the phone line - long before the actual fax paper started coming through. When she heard whatever she heard she would run to the top of the house and sit on the fax machine and shred the paper as it came out of the machine.
Try racing a determined cat 5 steep stories. Even as a younger, fitter soul it was impossible. So everyone always added 3 blank pages at the start of a fax to give me time to get to the machine and fend off the cat!
I haven't thought of that in years.
