There is some killing during the hours of darkness and a certain amount of bookshelf excavation. Their bowels seem to be in good order too  sick2:

They cannot open their own food supply or work taps  eveilgrin:

btw. If they see me putting water from a tap in their water bowls they refuse to drink it. It has to be put in an ancient watering can first and then decanted into their water bowls. WHY????? Banghead Banghead Banghead Banghead

Taste, water from the tap has all the associated chemicals that the cats can taste, passing it through the ancient watering can changes the flavour.

I imagine passing it through the cat also changes the flavour.

Are you a cat?

No I grew up with three of them so had a lot of time to recognize and understand their quirks, well most of them anyway.
