I have two dish sponges on my countertop. They're there for cleaning dishes.
Now note that the cats are not allowed on the countertop. That's a no-no.
Now look at this.
Son of a bitch. This happens a lot, actually. This time, I happened to wake up and notice that Aleph (because he's the only one of the two who's nutty enough to move these) had dropped the sponge right in my pile of clothes.

Maybe he's trying to tell you something.
