Yeah, that's a nice fluffy kitty you got there. :)
I do summer paging work at a library where two pages per shift wear reference desk cell phones. The reference librarians call the pages on duty and ask them to fetch and retrieve books and holds and whatnot. One of our phones got stolen and apparently the new phone owner forwarded the stored numbers to everybody because the pages would answer the phone with the usual "This is <NAME>" and the person on the other end would either hang up or ask for bizarre people. The pages all thought there was drug trafficking going on with that lost phone, due to some very interesting calls on the night shift, but then we got new phones and forgot about it. :P
