My Buttons has also taken an unnatural interest in the Scoozie I received
as a present.  Buttons is deaf, but when Scoozie started vibrating and
wagging its tail, Buttons knew it belonged to him!  When I rescued it
from him, he spent 20 minutes searching the house for it.
 
I though the scoozie was safe on the dining room table, with the one chair
Buttons can climb pulled out a safe distance.  Hubby Richard and I were
working together on the computer.  All of a sudden, we hear "Uh oh!" coming
from the bedroom.  Buttons managed to get on the table, steal the scoozie,
drag it literally behind our backs to the bedroom, where he must had
inadvertently turned it upside down, activating it's upside down sensors.
 
Buttons was NOT happy when we took it away from him again.  Every time he
gets out of the cage he looks for it, and tries harder than ever to get on
the dining room table, even if I let him up to show him the scoozie is not
there.
 
We're away visiting family for a few days.  Scoozie and Caruso came with
us, but Buttons and Cookie are at their auntie Norma's.  I hope this
separation will make Buttons forget his new love.  We'll see...
