Since the dawn of time there has been a strange unforeseen connection between animals and prophylactics. It all started in the 60s when a little German Shepard named Skippy ate an entire package of birth-control pills, launching him into a state of temporary insanity, lashing out at loved ones one second and whimpering in the corner the next.



Lately I've been hearing more about this phenomenon. A friend's cats have taken to opening the drawer and pulling out condoms. Maybe it the shiny and brightly coloured packages that draw them, but the cats seem to really enjoy pawing them and depositing them in the most inopportune places where parents on surprise visits may find them. Secondly, I've been taking care of some dogs for the last week and that also entails picking up after them on our little walks. Like dogs in general they'll eat anything that you don't notice. I went to go pick up a little deposit and to my great surprise, there were condoms in it! Not one, but two! Which proves a point, anything a cat will play with a dog will eat. The one mystery I haven't been able to solve is where did they get them from?
