to find the highest most wobbly thing to get on top of. The tops of doors are ideal.
I spent Christmas day with my sister and the rest of the family, when I returned to the cat house the kitchen door was closed and the bath full of poo.
The cats had worked together to prise open the airing cupboard door, this had banged the kitchen door shut, the kitchen is where the litter trays are and also the cat flap to the back garden.
They have shown me the trick several times since. It takes a lot of frantic scrabbling to get the cupboard door open, the cupboard is mainly packed with towels and spare bedding - on one shelf is a clear plastic container half-full of pegs. Once the door has been opened the cats take it in turns to leap onto the door, the game is then to get from the top of the door into the plastic peg box which has exactly enough space in it to contain most of a cat.

They sound very inventive!
ReplyDeletePS: I hope my cats don't learn that door-topping trick! They can already open any door with a lever door handle and my closet sliding doors.
Cats are actually magicians - never trust them not to be able to open any door
DeleteWe have door topping cats. Two of them . After they need rescuing and always give me the stinkeye for their troubles.
ReplyDeleteYour drawings are lyrical and fantastic. Have you considered writing a children's book?
ReplyDeleteOne of these cats does a lot of stinkeye too, I'm in awe of her. Any book I wrote for children would induce nightmares - but thank you for enjoying the drawings xxxxxxx
