An inside job.

I have a bunch of cats and of them O'Malley is the most attached to me. He sleeps near by and if I get up at night he follows me into the bath room. That is because he knows I keep a big jar of Temptation cat treats there. and he loves them and knows I will give him a few. He also is right there when I wake up in the morning sitting on my desk which is near the bed.

Hmmm, this morning I wake up and no O'Malley. Odd, but, then he is a cat. I go into the bathroom and there on the floor is the big jar of cat treats and the lid if off. He had to knock it off the shelf by the toilet, then work the lid off. A safe cracker. I guess I need to tighten the lid, not just screw it on. I had switched to the big plastic jar because the smaller containers with the snap on lids had been figured out long ago.
 
Notice how he keeps his face masked.

An Irish Siamese. LOL I did not name him

I love cats and generally get along with all that I meet but I've never met a Siamese that wasn't schizophrenic.

Well, O'Malley is just your normal big lazy Tom cat with a pretty mellow disposition. Just a normal cat. Loves to be held and purrs. I can hold him belly up rock him like a baby and he purrs away.

The other Siamese Jumbalia is strange. Small spayed female fluff ball with big innocent eyes. Reclusive and doesn't much like to be held, tolerates an occasional pet. Took her months just to let me close to her. But, she is also a stone cold killer. Birds, mice,voles,small rabbits have all been victims and lots of them.

Cousin is a big white cat that is dumber than a box of rocks. Some times he wants petted and some times he acts like he thinks your going to beat him.

Buddy is still a kitten that was dumped here. He is here, there and everywhere and thinks my food is his food. O'Malley seams to be his hero as he follows him all the time and O'Malley only occasionally growls when he has had his tail attacked to much. He is totally fascinated by the gold fish, watches them for hours. Occasionally try a swipe at them, but hates it because his paw gets wet. How can they stand it living in that water anyway???
 
I love kitties, have always had them in my life, but you have to be careful around them and teach them about gun safety.
This happened several years ago. Please take your cat aside and have a word with them about firearm safety.

Cat Shoots Owner With 9mm Handgun
Associated Press
BATES TOWNSHIP, Mich. – A man cooking in his kitchen was shot after one of his cats knocked his 9mm handgun onto the floor, discharging the weapon, Michigan State Police said.
Joseph Stanton , 29, of Bates Township in Iron County, was shot in his lower torso around 6 p.m. Tuesday, the state police post in Iron River reported. He was transported to Iron County Community Hospital.
Michelle Sand, a spokeswoman at the Iron River hospital, said Stanton was treated there before being transferred to Marquette General Hospital for further treatment. But Marcie Miller, a representative of the Marquette facility, said there was no record of the hospital receiving a patient by that name.
A telephone message seeking comment was left Wednesday at Stanton's home.
State police said he was cooking at his stove when the cat knocked the loaded gun off the kitchen counter behind him.
 
Amateur.

I had a cat named Winston. One day he figured out how to open the refrigerator. I came home and the entire contents of the refrigerator were strewn across the kitchen floor. A spilled half gallon of milk, a package of pork chops, leftovers, broken jar of pickles, mustard ....all of it. He'd throw it out and the others would sort through it I imagined.

Winston and his partners in crime were all laid out on the floor a sleep.
 
I don’t know what they put in those treats but the feral cats that hang out at my shop act like the are some kind of super drug!
 
Were still getting over the loss of our last cat, it would be unfair to try and replace him...he was that great.
We had a Manx cat that my wife rescued, he was quite smart. We could not figure out how he could open our bedroom door, which is just a standard door knob. One day my wife swears she saw him lick his paw, reach up, wrap his paw up over the knob and pull the door knob down, his paw had enough stick with his spit that he could get enough of it up around the upper edge and pull down turning the knob.
He would also sit at the table in a chair and when foodies were put in front of him he could reach out and literally pick them off the table to eat out of his paw. He was not allowed to put a paw on the table and if he got lazy all you had to say was "Paw", he would sit back down in the chair and go about picking the treats off the table one by one.
