a little touchy

in my den i have a tri-light that's activated by touch. it's a floor lamp, and you can touch it anywhere and it gets turned on (ooooooh, kinky). i rarely go in the den right now (i'm trying to root myself into my couch, become the ultimate couch potato, you know) - but, almost every time i walk by, the light's on. now, you might think that i'm just complaining about the light always being on ... but .. i turn it off every time. and then next time ... it's on again. i first thought it was my adorable little munchkins (kittens will be kittens, afterall) - but, it appears that the light goes on even if the kittens haven't been in the room. i'm confused. and it being hallowe'en eve ... a little concerned and spooked out.
