Hi MEOW,

I thought you’d appreciate this. We keep a few of the cat toys in a drawer in our living room coffee table. The table is a big, solid maple thing, and the drawers are quite heavy. Last week, Jilly was sniffing around the drawer, so I decided to pull out a couple of cat toys and play with the cats for a bit. They chased a couple fuzzy snakes around for a good half an hour before they got bored (or so I thought) and I put the toys away.

When I was brushing my teeth, not ten minutes later, I heard strange noises in the living room. I came out to investigate, and I saw both kitties with their paws in the toy drawer. Somehow a pair of very determined twelve-pound cats managed to pull open a very large, heavy drawer and then reach in and pull out their favorite toys. Now they can get their toys whenever they want. I keep putting them away, and the kitties think of it as kind of a game to break into the toy drawer and pull them back out.

Thank you again for raising such clever kitties and giving them a home with us! Here is a photo of Janey breaking in.
