The strangeness of cats

These cats are really getting strange.  I wonder if it is being cooped up all day with nothing but humans to talk to; or perhaps it is all the attention they get which keeps waking them up; or could it be the constant strange noises coming from the closet, under the bed, and the stairway.........

Cats are naturally inquisitive and will climb into the most unusual places trying to find out what is in there and what makes it tick.  Try to keep dangerous items in a closed room or cabinet that they can't get open (you'd be surprised how many of them can get the cabinets open).  Don't leave open containers with dangerous items inside sitting where the cats can get to them.  And be sure to cover hot burners with a pan of water so that the cats won't burn themselves when they get curious about what is up there (the clicks of the burner cooling often draws their attention more than the food that is there).
