What's in a Name?

Name: Smarty Boy (part II)

Location: Philadelphia, PA area (USA)

Story: "...There are many other times he has shown the extent of his brain power...He loves to play hide and seek, and somehow he knows that if we're expecting him to hide on the shower seat, for instance, he'll hide behind the bathroom door instead and jump out at us. He has a large vocabulary too, and not the usual words like bird, squirrel, no, good boy.  He knows basement, play, catnip, and many, many more esoteric words.  I read somewhere that they can learn up to 100 words, and he's well on his way to that.  If he wants his back scratched he flops down on his side, pulls his front legs up close to his body, and waits.  We are wound around his little claw!"  (pic)
