I shut the bathroom door but must have missed latching it properly. It
proved a cinch to open for a couple of dedicated thieves. When I
finally discovered their lock-picking activities they had opened the
medicine cabinet.

The medicine cabinet consists of two mirrored doors enclosing narrow
shelves inside. The whole thing measures about 2 feet high by 2 feet
wide. It is opened by putting your fingers under the bottom of the
right mirror and giving it a good pull. Guess a clever kittie's claw
acts just as well as fingers. I had placed any pills on the top-most
shelves, ostensibly out of reach but I needn't have bothered, they had
had a ball and removed the lot. There were pills and lotions everywhere
plus mangled cotton wool.

Thoughts. When Ted comes around to build a higher fence at the back of
the section perhaps he can put a cat-proof catch on the cabinet
hmmmmmmmm!!!

Uh-oh. Can Ted handle being double-teamed? :-)

Are you ever going to get to live without everything under lock and
key?! I thought kittens grew up and lost a lot of their hooliganism. I
have a friend with a half-grown puppy like that. they have everything
put away. The other day I saw the pup trying to jump into the sink
after a dish with one crumb in it!

You must be very active with nerves of steel and filled with patience.
I admireyou; but I don't envy you! <grin>

Some cats stay astonishingly energetic for quite awhile-- I don't
mean to be discouraging, but my cats NEVER really "settled down"
until they were past about 10 years old!

I think though, once they do find out what is behind all the closed
doors, and under and on top of everything, and inside all the drawers,
and have explored it all thoroughly-- and SEVERAL TIMES-- they lose
some of that urge to be INTO everything.

But adult cats can get like that all over again when they're moved
into a new place, once they've stopped freaking out about it. And
kittens are incredible, because they also have to explore YOU, too,
and check out every nook and cranny of you, and they also have to
watch everything you do, because you are incredibly weird and
fascinating, and who knows, you might be entertainingly insane. ;) It
took Stinky quite awhile to figure out," Well, that's just how the
screwy dame is." ;)

When I first brought Stinky home, he would sit on the sink when I was
brushing my teeth, and rinsing my mouth. When I gargled, he would be
absolutely AMAZED, and afterwards he would try to pry my mouth open to
see what the hell was making that sound.

That's what we told Nanki Poo.

So he brought in a frog.

Tribble never did settle down, and he was 17 when he was assisted
across the Bridge. In the weeks before he passed he seemed to take
great joy in opening my bottom kitchen cabinets and investigating my
cooking pots and pans.

Considering the escapades of those two so far, don't count on it!
