Nothing special, really.
I was away (to Timmins) for nearly a week during which time Bryan came over to take care of Tache for a couple a days, then they both spent the rest of the week at Bryan's apartment. He's got huge windows, reaching the floor, and the condo's on the fourth floor, so Tache took quite a while to get use to his new surroundings. He did eventually enjoy the open concept of Bryan's place, keeping both Bryan and Evan awake at all times of the night by running back & forth between the various rooms.
When I got back, two days ago, Tache was definitively mad at me. Eventually he cozied up, requiring a fair amount of time on my lap. He's also not likely been out of the house (except for the trip to Bryan's condo & back) in over a week. It's warmish today so I put him out about two hours ago. He spent the first hour hanging around on the porch - now he's gone checking out the neighbourhood I go & call out for him every 10 minutes or so. Eventually he'll be out there waiting to come back in and will make a bee line straight to his food bowl.

Cute!

Time for another 'Tache Tales' update.
(sorry, Kelda, I never saw him again hiding underneath the bathtub mat, so no photos)
I'm not sure if I mentioned this before but one of Tache's games is to lie down on his side next to the couch (or the bed) and swiftly pull himself forward by clawing his paws on the material of the couch (or the bed). It's really cute to watch & it's something I don't remember anyone else mentioning as their cat's quirk.
He's also been using his claws to open closed doors that are not properly clenched. He's been found (by Bryan) napping on the bed sheets in the hallway closet. I've seen him open the computer room closet door that way as well.
I have a heavy rubber soled large rug under my computer chair (the wood floor's been heavily damaged over the years without a proper rug). Tache has recently been observed lifting the rug with the claws of one paw in order to slip his other leg (as well as his hind leg) in order to, I don't know, drag himself along the rug? or simply seach for lost treasures under there?
Tache has also been using his claws to tear up the toilet roll of paper. I think he was getting revenge for my being away so much lately. Even though Bryan came over to spend the nights with Tache, I had been away for a week at Christmas and another 5 days 2 weeks later. The victim this time? The shower liner. It got properly tore up. It was a cheap liner and I'd had it for over a year, but he's no longer allowed to play in the bathroom; I now keep that door closed at all times.
He's also been VERY lap needy lately, especially when I'm on the computer.
During my absence, Bryan liked having Tache purring on the bed while he slept. It's always been a no-no with me. On my return from Timmins this last time I felt him get on the bed that very next morning. I swept him off the bed sharply. He hasn't returned on the bed since then.
Another thing about the bathroom. Do your cats check out religiously when you flush? Tache never misses an opportunity. Seems right fascinated by the swirl or sum'tin. He'll come near the bathroom or even venture onto the side of the bathtub everytime I use the toilet.
Methinks I got a strange kitty.

Great cat stories!!
LOL, Vivien likes to nap in the linen closet on the clean towels and sheets too. It's adorable... but of course means that there's cat hair on the clean linens.
And, I think fun-with-toilet paper is a classic cat thing... I know some cats like to unravel full rolls of TP. Luckily for me, Viv has little interest in the TP.
But, she loves to sleep in the bath tub... one of her favorite spots in the apartment.
