Cookie, my girl tux, is the same way about the pantry. She loves to jump onto the second shelf and just sit. When she hears me open the pantry door she runs into the kitchen to jump on her shelf. Sometimes she cries if I've just been to the store and stocked up and there's no room for her. Occasionally, too, she'll ask me to open the door for her so she can sit on her shelf. She's so funny!
