Last night, he wouldn't get out of a drawer in the buffet where we store tablecloths and so on. He even jumps into the laundry hamper, if it's available. It's about 40" tall, and he has to knock it over to get out of it, because the angle is too steep to clear the rim without just falling back in.

I know what you mean. I have so many Amazon boxes. I just took a few out to the trash. I hope he doesn't get mad. Walleye Feb 2025 #11

Ours has a VERY highly-developed sense of entitlement, and is quite overt and confrontational about it. BobTheSubgenius Feb 2025 #14
