What other rearrangements of household furnishings have people
here been instructed by the management to carry out?

GLyN only jumped up there once, easily made it from the floor.
After looking around long enough for me to snap a picture, he
left it, and has never tried it again.

But usually, I have things like 2 liter bottles and boxes up there.

I don't think either of mine have ever tried it. There's too much stuff
up there.

I had a cat, MANY years ago, that pretty much lived up there,
and wasn't happy anywhere else. She could get up easily from
other cabinets, and it was tall enough that no one could even
see her if she wasn't up on the front edge.

I think she liked both the heat and very mild vibration.

I used to have a cat that liked to lie on top of my kitchen stove. That
was back in the days when ovens had a pilot light.

Some still do! I have one. And I much prefer that to the "click-click-click"
type of gas stove, which relies on electricity to light the oven burner.
With those, if the power goes out, no stove, no oven. I have electric heat,
so the oven might provide some warmth in case of power outage during the
winter.

When it was chilly,
especially, he'd lie on the flat area in the center, as close to the
back of the stove as he could get. The heat from the pilot light rose
up through the vent, and he got every drop of that heat he could.

And they're so useful as cat heaters!
