He likes to watch them, but has showed no other inclination. Fortunately.<br /><br />He opens the sliding doors to our wardrobe with ease - even when I have attempted to wedge them shut. He also opens the fridge and worse still taught that skill to Jewel. Now we have a child proof lodge on the fridge to keep them out.<br /><br />As I said to Riot Kitty the term 'familiars' leaps to mind.

Her goldfish kept dwindling in number. One day the kitty was caught red-pawed, right in the middle of dragging up another victim from the small space behind the light... Glad to know Jazz hasn't figured that one out yet! Although the thought of cats being able to open doors makes my hairs stand on end! I'm glad we still have round knobs and not the levers we'd thought of installing... Yike!<br /><br />And, yes, what is it with so many of us having black cats? I think of the bloggers I know, and the number who have black cats--and multiple black cats at that--are way out of proportion to the general population. Hmm. <br />Paper Chipmunk (aka Ellen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15014954266777016841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-81549362734009163682012-09-17T13:40:40.024+10:002012-09-17T13:40:40.024+10:00Love how that cat is perched over the fish tank.
