Two incidents highlight this; along with his strength. He is a large muscular cat - down to 16.5 lbs. He's built like an American football player - very big frame, LOTS of muscle and a layer of fat over it all. Funnily enough, both involve a treat, the same treat too... oh, there area about 200-250 pieces in a bag and the vet has suggested he gets 5-6 at a time, tops.

So. 1. We keep these treats, once opened, in a plastic tub and that tub is put away in a drawer or a cupboard. One Saturday afternoon, the tub was almost empty so I opened a new bag of fishies and gave Smoky and BanditNO some before we went to visit my uncle. SOMEONE, the other 2 footer who shall not be named, failed to put the tub back in the drawer, leaving it on the bed. Several hours later, we get home from my uncle's and the kittehs are sleeping and I find the lid on the bed. Perforated. Heavily perforated. Then I found the tub in a similar condition with about 6 fishies left. Smoky had opened the snap top tub and he and his brother proceeded to EAT ALL THE FISHIES.
2. Prior to the tub living in the drawer, it had lived on the kitchen counter as they rarely made their way up that high. Well, one night, I was awakened by a rattling thing being smacked against my leg. Smoky had gotten up to the counter, moved the coffee can, knocked over the other container from on top of the fishies tub, knocked the tub to the floor, then carried the tub into the bedroom and up onto the bed to inform me of his desire for FISHIES. NAOOWWWW.
