LL - your cat sounds like great fun. Bonnie used to be very interested in everything we did too, right from kitten stage to old girl. I think she thought she was human. She used to make me laugh when she wanted to go out the garden door she used to climb up and try and turn the key with her paws. She turned it in the right direction too! LOL. If I closed my bedroom door and she wanted in she would open it by jumping on the door handle and leaning on the right hand side of it to push it down. They are clever when they have something to gain aren't they ;-) The other thing I always found lovely about her, not once in her whole life did she ever lash out and scratch anyone. Even if she was having uncomfortable treatment at the vets, the worse she ever dished out was a little ladylike hiss and even then she'd look a bit sorry after - I miss her so much :-(
