Curiosity
When I was a kid I had a hamster. I had originally named him Furball, but due to his constant digging into the wood shaving substrate at the bottom of his cage and his habit of running to each corner of the cage and staring out as if searching for something, I nicknamed him Curiosity.
I took him out one day to pet him and play with him and he got away from me and ran out my bedroom door. I heard my sister's cat Mittens running down the hall.
In an ironic twist of fate, the cat killed Curiosity.

Thanks, Neville! I'm afraid I've gotten rather silly of late.

Thank you, Jamie and D.M. Just a little bit of silliness. And no, Jamie, it's not a true story, but I did have a hamster once that continuously ran on his wheel until his heart gave out and he died. I believe it was the first known case of a hamster committing suicide.
