No, she tries to be a good kitty. Doesn't always succeed. The other night about 4 am she got the Zoomies. Pretty soon I heard a muffled crash. We have like a wide shoe box full of food saver bags on the island. She pushed the whole box off! My new thousand dollar suppressor was right next to it, but thankfully she didn't knock it off too. Probably saved her life!Thumper wouldn't do that!!
Many years ago I lived on a sailboat. My then GF and I found a kitten. It never really got "sea legs." In the middle of the night it would romp around the deck, then there'd be a "ker-splash" as it fell off. We had a towel hanging off the swim step so it could get back aboard. The forward hatch over the master cabin bed had black plexiglas. The cat would run over the hatch at night. In the winter it was closed and in summer there was a "wind scoop" to flow air into the boat. Well one night in early spring we'd opened the hatch but didn't put on the scoop. The cat was running around the deck, then suddenly a suprised cat fell onto the bed about 2 am. It apparently saw the black hole and assumed the hatch was closed. Fell about 5 feet onto my stomach. Glad it wasn't my face!
Here's a pic of little Thumper as I posted this. She loves to lay on my hoodie.
WOW, thanks for sharing the sailboat story, bet you have some stories to be told!! Thumper has that, " zoomies coming on" look in that picture!!
Oh yeah, lot's of stories, not all about cats. Our little sailing kitty didn't last long, about a month or two. It got seasick. It was a white cat (I forgot what we'd named it) one time we were underway, in the intercoastal, not even at sea, and I swear it's fur turned green! We were at a dock in Ft. Lauderdale and somehow it got out. We looked and looked, but it was done with us, never showed up again. I hope it found someone with a nice house full of mice and lived it's best life.

What a pretty kitty.
How to make the bed when you have a cat...
If I fits, I sits! The Thumper version.
(Also you can tell it's winter in AZ by the Uggs next to the flip flops and river shoes...)

LOL - yes. But she's really a good kitty. Or at least she tries hard.She has some wild eyes!!
Now that it's cooler she's been climbing under the comforter at night next to mommy, with just her little ears and nose sticking out.
Happy Sunday.......................................^^^

How to photograph a cat.
These are of Kodiak's tail and carrier...
They just put newspaper on top of the piece of carpet in Kodiak's Carrier instead of cleaning, while the waste was fresh and easily washed off... Now I will just throw the carpets remnants away and hose out the carriers... These Kitties will Never Leave this Home/ Their House...

Wow - Snowman, I'm so sorry your babies had to go through that. I would be so upset if Thumper was treated poorly. When we went on our trip last summer (abt 3 weeks) we had a trusted neighbor lady who came to the house twice a day. We have a couple of interior cameras so we could watch occasionally, and we can set our alarm with codes for guests. It gives us an online report of who signed in and how long they were there.These are of Kodiak's tail and carrier...
