Never underestimate the intelligence of a cat!

Hello!
Thought I'd share a funny story.
We have an attic space in our flat, that you can only access by ladder. My husband was putting some things in there, and he left the ladder while he went to eat lunch as he figured that there was no way the cats could climb up the rungs.
Well, to make a long story short we realised that Odin was nowhere to be found. He had managed, somehow, to climb the ladder, and was having the time of his life in our dusty, messy attic. He stayed up there for 5 hours before he finally had enough (or more likely, got hungry).
Odin is a mess now, covered in dust and cobwebs, and is sleeping now, with a look of pure, angelic innocence.

What a doll!! And what a great time he must have had! He's a gorgeous fellow and I'll bet he was even cuter covered with attic dust!

Silly Odin! With or without dust on you, you are gorgeous!

Quite right too, Odin. Obviously when you saw a great unexplored territory you knew what you had to do. You are a cat after all.

Hahh! Smart kitty! He's probably thinking to himself, *cool, this quiet, dark place has been here all along and now I've discovered it!!*

Awww. Watch out. Curiosity killed the cat ! You don't wanna get all messy again. Or maybe you do...

All these mischevious cats here. Don't they know Santa is coming soon? Cats are some of the most determined and hard headed critters I know. The more our Doogie knows he's not supposed to do something, the more determined he is to do it. But you gotta love em. They're just too darned cute not to.

Scrappy 2 is so clever!

When I pour treats, or something to eat for a group of Found Ctas she just strrreeetttcches out , grabs thier treats, eats them and then has his own treats
And shes great at grabbing food out of the frying pan or pot, and never burns her paw, ever.
Shes a genius in a tuxedo suit!

I can't believe he did this again. He probably did it because he knows he's not supposed to. Did he have to have a bath after this?

You know how cats take a closed door a s a personal insult. You should know everything belongs to the cat!

How cute!

This must have been so exciting for him! Sounds like he had a lot of fun!

There must be something enticing up there!

When we go up in our attic, come down and leave the stairs down, we now put a flat board or large piece of cardboard over the hole so that it blocks the entrance. It's easy for us to move, but not for Archy.
