I’d really like to set something up so that I can see what my cats do all day, while I’m gone...
When I was in college and lived with two other female roommates, we each had a cat. The cats were well trained not to jump on counters and tables in the kitchen. Or so we thought. Until the apartment across the way was rented to three (sadly gay) guys who were jewelry design students and we all became friends. The guys told us that as soon as we were all gone for the day, ALL THREE of our cats got up on the kitchen table and stretched out and slept all day there, jumping off before we came home.
LOL I’m not surprised. Cats are smart, and sneaky!
When we got our dog after many years of just cats, I was amazed that he had no guile whatsoever. When he escaped from the puppy gates, he was so excited to come and find me!
