Help needed with one of those clever breeds of cat!

I had a rescue moggie who could open door handles. She was a real Houdini. I think she had learnt it, bless her, because she was only 5 months old when she had 2 kittens and her owner died suddenly and no one came for the cats, so presumably she had to find a way out of the house and go and hunt in order to feed herself and continue to feed the kittens.

Eventually the elderly owner's son came to the house and was astonished to find the cat and kittens as he had had no idea, and he took them to a rescue centre.

Once the kittens were weaned and rehomed, I adopted her. She had had a bad start in life but she was so loving and always seemed so grateful. I loved her.

Most cats have certain abilities. My DS2's family had 2 female kittens 7 years ago - same litter but chalk and cheese personalities. The children had a marble run for Christmas that year and the kittens had great fun with it. One of kittens noticed that the marbles ran better on the laminate floor than on the rug. She picked up marbles in her mouth, set them on the floor and pursued them until they all went under the sofa. Then she went round the back to see if she could find them. Not bad logic for a 3-4 month-old kitten.

Give him something to climb indoors, A talll scratching post and access to the top of a cupboard.

Cats are capable of understanding the word "NO", so play with him when it suits you and not always when it suits him.

Mine are very chilled indoor pussycats, and also full of fun, here they are loving life,

I've kept cats all my adult life and had many different breeds, cross breeds and movies in that time. The daftest cat was a Siamese cross who was so greedy, but crafty, he would watch as I put chops or steaks under the eye level grill and then suddenly leap up to snatch them out, before running off with them with his front legs on fire! And yes, the smell of burning cat hair is horrible!

I love to give a cat a paper bag big enough for them to get inside.
I love it when they pounce from inside it.

I love doing that too MissA! And moving you fingers quickly out of the way before they embed their claws in your hand!

Oh yes!
If there was nothing on TV we would say "let's torment the cat" and fetch out the bag.
He was always up for skidding around the floor in it.

I like tearing a little hole in one corner of the paper bag and wiggling a little stick (or if I'm feeling brave, my finger), just to see the whole bag leap forward with a fat paw sticking out! Then you poke the stick in the opposite end and the cat and bag somersault to snaffle you! Love cats! ?

TrendyNannie that’s an amusing photo - puss cat’s feet look enormous!
Our cat runs to the letterbox when the free newspaper is coming through, jumps to pull the end until it drops and then chews a corner off. Rascal.

TrendieNannie Love your photo!

They were very young in that pic. Yes Luther’s feet look soo big, he’s such a character,

Luther has his happy face on ????

This is just a sweet photo of my two ten year old cats, who are brother and sister.
