In an effort to demonstrate Quincy's above-average cat-intelligence, I give you the following evidence.
While you will be tempted to think these are set up, I assure you that I have found in the past two months each of these displays. In truth, Quincy has created these on his own and is either leaving them for us to find or is saving these small, perhaps the choicest, pieces for a snack in case we don't feed him.
This is what I found on Thursday after work:
How, exactly, does a cat even do that?
I might suggest that a cat with opposable thumbs
(I've seen 2 of them this winter) could, by who would?
I guess it might be fitting that a cat belonging to Kyle and Myself would have some intensely OCD tendencies. It's apparent Quincy does.
These are ones I have found previously, and are almost as unbelievable as the above, although I really think the 3 in a row on that slim ledge takes the cake. You decide. Is this ridiculous and kind of amazing at the same time?
This one, three in the corner, is the most common one I find.
When he decides to snack on them, he will pull each, individually out with his paw.
I've watched him do that time and again, although I've never seen him arrange them.
Here is a surprising one I found last week. 1 in each corner.
Maybe he's an artist at heart.

This is hilarious! Cats are so funny. Dottie will put some of her food bits into her water bowl. I've seen her do it - somehow she picks them up without using her mouth. Very perplexing indeed.
i have no words. but this makes me laugh, mostly because I am in shock i think! haha. this is great.
Man, your cat is crazy in a seriously awesome way.:) Hope you've been able to get the sleep problems under control. Having a cat wake you up in the middle of the night is super annoying. One of our cats likes to sleep on the end of our bed and he used to wake me up periodically, but i found that ignoring him and just pretending to be asleep caused him to lose interest. Doesn't sound like that would work with Quincy at all.:)
Liz, we definitely tried the ignoring part. He doesn't get the hint. Apparently he's not well-versed in subtlety. I'm glad that did work for you, however. No one needs to wake up to attention-starved cats in the middle of the night.
