He is still curious about stuff.   If i leave a supply carton open, it often ends up on its side on the floor.  With him in it.  :)   He went nuts with a roll of toilet paper.  Once.  It didn't rewind itself.  Oh pshaw.  Never bothered a roll again.   Heh!

Yup....I think all Cat Lovers have learned...when you bring new stuff home...it's not yours until "Cat or Kitten Approved"

When we still had Itty Bitty, she and Cookie Baby were like best buddies. One day me and my Pop had to go shopping. We were gone for about three hours. Both cats were in the camper we were living in, as we could not let them out, due to some roaming dogs. When we got back, the whole inside of the camper had been rolled! They had found the open pack of toilet paper and somehow got all but one of the rolls out of it; a six pack of jumbo rolls. They rolled the place with the one we had out plus four of the rolls that had been in the pack. They hardly missed a spot in the camper, even having it strung through the air from different fixtures and stuff. We had to tear our way into the camper. As we were cleaning up, we were laughing about it, imagining what the event must have looked like if we had been there. We found them both sleeping together in a pile of the stuff, buried under more of it. It's surprising how much one roll can cover, but nearly 5 rolls? It was everywhere it could get to! That was a two bedroom camper! LOL

Knowing that just two little cats did all that would have made it worth the trouble to clean up, to me!   Ha!   But like you,  I would have wanted to see em doing it!

That is SO true!   Mogwai (and Tattoo when he was here) waits on the back of the sofa when we bring anything in the front door.  So he can give it the quick sniff as we go by him.   Even obvious stuff like a 6 pack of Diet Mountain Dew gets sniffed!    I figure they are reading the Cat Newspapers doing that.

One more note on that McG....if it's NOT Cat or Kitten Approved....Make sure their claws have been trimmed

We had to save as much as we could for cleaning up messes that happened. Had to buy two rolls to last out the month with the one they did not get to out of the six pack. One thing Cookie Baby does to this day is eat too fast, and them upchuck it. I've cleaned up a lot of that from her through the years since we first got her as a kitten. The compromised toilet paper lasted three months, being used only for clean up. We stored any new packs in a cabinet after that incident.

Yeah, I know that place about "cat-i-fy'ing' the home.   Might as well say child proofing it.  Except human kids don't  run ON the walls.  Or chew through electrical cords.  But only while live.   I'm not able to get over to the animal shelter to look for another cat.   Someday I may be, again!

Or perhaps one morning you'll simply find a street cat/kitten asking to be in your home.
Too bad you aren't neighbor of TL, because he has 4 new ones in his garden

And yep about skateboard on walls. Harmonie started to do but with the little one, she doesn't run as much as before. I suspect she waits until THE moment where he'll be able to interract fully with her and Nenya.

It's raining again but at least it's not a downpour so the kitties should stay dry under the shed.  I put more straw under there so they can lay on higher ground.  Got two little shelters out there for them and they play in them but won't go in them when it storms LOL....

And I just looked out the window and they are playing in the rain
