Although it's generally the persian member of our household who's up to no good or sleeping in odd places, it's not exclusive...

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

Seeing pics of Gillian's lot in the oddest places made me think it was just her cats. Yesterday, I was at Caroline's and one of hers was hunched up in a small shoe box  :Crazy: - She said she isn't allowed to put fruit in her fruitbowl as the cat sleeps in it  :evillaugh: - it's a high sided one. Is it possibly a Persian trait?  :evillaugh:

What, you mean like Lucy in the saucepan? LOL!

Definitely a Persian thing, they never cease to amaze (and entertain) me with their weird choices  :evillaugh:
