I have a cat, and like every cat I've ever met, he's a bit odd. I find they all are but that's why people find them interesting. Our cat is an outdoor cat. We got him from a shelter when he was a kitten. And we had these nice little imaginings that he'd be a cute lap cat, an indoor cat. We had no intention of letting him go outside. Except that, he had other ideas. He absolutely, positively, in no way possible, would remain indoors. To the point where he started getting nasty - nippy, bitey, that type of thing. So we finally just had to sigh, open the back door, and let him run free. And then he totally changed, and became in many ways the nice lap cat we'd hoped for. He became a happy cat, and rather affectionate. But on one condition: he has to be able to roam around outside whenever he wants to. He goes out every day, sometimes stays out all night. But when he's inside, he's very happy and well-mannered. And also he brings us - hmm, shall we say - presents :-), yes. Leaves them by the back door. He has not brought home eggs (yet, lol), but he brings back birds, mice, frogs, chipmunks. He's a very good hunter. Sounds like your cat is quite a climber!
