Hee hee. This reminds me of my parents' RB cat Patty, an inveterate
food thief. As she approached 20 years, she put on a frail little old
lady act and convinced us she couldn't jump up on the kitchen counter
any more, so we didn't have to watch any longer to make sure she
didn't do that. One day I was the only one home; I was reading and
quiet, and she'd obviously forgotten I was there. I heard the
distinctive *thud* from the kitchen of an 18 pound cat landing on the
kitchen counter. I came around the corner, she looked up and saw me,
and the look in her eyes was pure "dammit, I blew it." LOL!

LOL, I know exactly what you mean. My 14-year-old Bandit would look up at
me pitifully from the side of the bed (I have one of those really high beds)
and put a paw tentatively on the side of the bed as if saying, "Gee, I would
come up there with you if I could." So I bought a kitty step ladder to put
next to the bed so she could get up easier. However, when I was moving into
the new house the step ladder did not get unpacked for several days yet
every day when I came home from work there she would be, sleeping on my
pillow as usual!
