I saw a snippet of an item on BBC Breakfast this morning. Someone had written a book – I didn’t catch the details, and it’s not that important anyway. It was the comment about cats opening fridges that caught my attention – the author of the book commented that a cat that can open a fridge must be every pet owner’s nightmare.
Well, I got news for you bud….We have two serial cupboard openers. Fridges are at the moment a little beyond their reach, but time will tell. Nefertiti has been a cupboard opener since kittenhood. She has a versatile claw that can be used to hook open doorhandles or pull a door away from the jamb.
Being the tribes’ matriarch, she takes it upon herself to educate any new kittens. Often this is unsuccessful. This year, however, Ahmose has been a keen student. Yesterday, I heard a "whump" noise in the bedroom. Several sweatshirts and fleeces that were on a shelf inside a closed wardrobe were now on the floor and the perpetrator was sitting in the middle of the mess. Ahmose had just graduated, it seems.

Yep, my cats do it too. I’ve found my female cat, Ernie, asleep in the cupboard with the canned goods, and also in the silverware drawer a few times. She not only opens the cupboard doors, she closes them behind her!Visit me @ http://confessionsofalibertine.blog-city.com/
My cats like to squeeze into impossibly tight spaces, and ignore me when I call them. ;^) After a while, I hear shuffling around, and see them shimmy out of their hiding places.Visit me @ http://pimme.blog-city.com
