Okay, here is the weirdest thing one of my cats ever did, perhaps apart
from the curious birding incidents which I just related in another
post.....as soon as she was grown enough to jump up to the kitchen
counter, she would use it as a launch pad to the top of the fridge and
from there she would knock down the half-filled can of cat food which
had been placed there after breakfast, waiting to be served at dinner
time.  Well I would come home from school and find the can sitting
upright in the middle of the living room carpet, stony bony empty and
this was a five inch tall can which, as anyone knows whose kitty was
silly enough to try, will not fit a cat's head.  So how was she getting
the food out?  And the plastic lid off, which was a good sealed fit?

After knocking it off the fridge, she would roll it from the bare
kitchen floor (I finally spied on her and saw it done) with her paws
into the living room where she could use the leverage of the can
against the carpet to slowly push it upright.  Then she would peel off
the plastic lid with her paws, and start digging in USING HER PAWS LIKE
A SCOOP (just like a raccoon).  She would eat right out of her paws,
without dropping the food, till it was empty.  I have no idea if she
would share with the other cat, who otherwise must have watched this
performance with some dismay since she was an ordinary cat's cat who
would never stoop to using her paws for anything other than swatting
me.

No one ever believed me, unless I showed them, and yes, she would
consistently do it even when I had a whole room full of people there
just to see her do it!!
