Why Is That Cat On The Table?

I wouldn't want any potential dinner guests to know this, but my cat loves to be on the table. We cannot leave anything on the table that he could think is a toy (or food).

Like the mailbox key that is on a seashell lanyard. Or the pills I am about to take with the breakfast I am making. Or earbuds for the ipod. Or a pencil or pen. Or a flash drive. Or a glass of iced tea. Or a vase of flowers. Or reading glasses. Or a hair bow. Or an orange. Or a tablecloth!

Just don't leave ANYTHING on that table!
