I guess he wasn't seriously asking since he knew the answer. My mom was a stay at home mom, so when stray cats or dogs came around there was always someone home. Lucky us!
We had two small dogs growing up, but we had lots of different cats. My favorite cat was orange and was named "Retard." (I am sure it was my dad who gave him that name)
Anyways, I preface this post with this story because after dealing with Jack the hamster since the end of February, I am asking myself the same question:
Why do the retarded animals come to my house?
Enter Jack the hamster!
Jack has been with us for just over 2 months. (It seems like a lot longer than that!)
Jack has escaped from his cage twice (because we have forgotten to latch the front door) and his exercise ball twice. We usually let him roll around the house in his ball for an hour or so at night. We have wood floors so you can usually hear him trollin' around. When it gets quiet, you know he is up to something.
When he makes his escape he usually heads to the boys' room to play with the toys.
Its actually kind of funny to catch him. When we put him back in his cage he is not happy. He literally begins trying to break out of the cage again and starts chewing on the bars like a psychopath. You can see from the video below its humorous to watch---as long as he can't get out again without us knowing.
After he gets caught and put back in his cage Jack now dumps his food out all over the bottom of his cage. After the first two occurrences I filled his bowl up right away. But on the 3rd day in a row I gave up. The hamster can die for all I care! (Good thing Bubba doesn't read this) Ha-Ha.

Well Katie, I'm afraid he sounds like a smart hamster to me!
Oh my goodness! I had so many hamsters growing up. They are great escape artists! Only mine never played with my toys. They took off. A few we never found, which is why I had so many! Good luck with Jack!!
P.S. After my experiences with the little guys, I refuse to let my kids get them!
