Solution to the mystery.
Today, apparently, the cosmos chose to reveal one of it’s mysteries to me. As I stood at the kitchen window this morning, drinking a glass of water, I felt something on my foot, and looked down to discover the household moron had untied my shoes, and was eating one of them. Knowing the cat’s proclivity for chasing and eating nothing, it dawned on me that evil dead cats are stalking me and attacking my shoelaces. Mystery solved.

Cooney IS a moron. It’s not a label I attach to him, it’s the core fact of his existence.
I love your Cooney.
