Actually, and I'm ashamed to admit it, but I got soooo mad at her the 1st time, now it's become a game. She enjoys getting me upset...ALOT!!! I've had to chase her away, I kid you not, about 20 times since I posted that.
PS. It's quite warm in my house right now, so I'm pretty safe to rule out the fact that she's going up there because it's warm up there. Thanks for the thought though!

I shouldn't be laughing, I'm sure you find it really frustrating.
My cats are morbidly afraid of their cat carriers (they're no dummies - they associate them with unpleasant things like the vet and interstate moves!), and when I get the carriers out for any reason, they bolt and hide. Well, the one day, in my old apartment, I moved the carriers just so I could clean out the closet, and of course the cats scattered. Couldn't find Phaedra for anything. 4 or 5 hours later, I finally found her... on top of the fridge, INSIDE a mixing bowl, behind the blender. Thankfully, that never got to be a habit. Now if only I could keep her off the counters...

LOL!!! Quote:

Well, it got to be so bad this time, that she's on a time out, in her room. Gosh, she is so bad that I have to lock her up every night. Otherwise, she'll eat ALL my other cats food, play with all of my jewelry, try to get at my glasses on my night stand, eat my hair, lay on my neck, bite my feet, the list goes on and on and on and on. What am I gonna do with her?

Time-outs in her room, ROFL!! Just like a kid! That's too freaking funny!

I don't know, but every time my cats start acting like that, I remind them that cat-fur slippers would be WONDERFUL on a cold winter night. (And they ignore me, as always.)
They grow out of a lot of that mischievousness. Really. Just keep reminding yourself of that.

I hope so. I just let her out now. We do this kind of thing almost on a daily basis.

Try a water gun. They hate thatand it seems to work, although then it becomes a game of not getting caught verses being good. For the bad stuff like biting, Mags will get a stern "Hey" and if she doesn't stop she'll get a smack on the hide (enough to startle but not to hurt) usually the "Hey" will get her to stop being bad.

I must be an lazy cat owner because it really wouldn't bother me if my cat went on the top of the fridge. I have nothing up there that he can't get into. He pretty much has free rein of the house. Including the cupboards WHEN THERE IS NO FOOD ON THERE and he knows the difference. When the food comes out that cat is no where around.
I always found if I let him do whatever he wants, he really doesn't want to do anything LOL

standing in the middle of my kitchen table Sunday. I was shocked! And he has this horrified look on his face like "How in the heck do I get down from here?"
I think I know what enticed him up there. I had bought one of those suet cakes to hang in the backyard for the birds. It had peanuts in it, and he loves peanut butter. The chair was pulled out from the table, and I guess he thought he'd help himself to it.
Thank God I caught him before he ate that thing and got sick in the house!
Bad dog .... bad dog. ... but it could've been worse, it could've been 2 beagles on my kitchen table.
