IrishEyes
(3,275 posts)I adopted my two cats when they were a few weeks old. The only people they have met are friends and family that come visit me. Occasionally, they get taken to the vet but he is very nice. As far as they are concerned, the world is a wonderful place where everyone is nice and there are lots of hugs, cuddles, sleeping spots and places to explore. I spoil them rotten but they are really great well behaved cats. Personally, I would jump on everything and explore everywhere.

(11,346 posts)I would rally the pack and make a truce with the cats. We would all break free and run to Washington, mauling every lawmaker until they ban assault weapons/magazine capacity. Then I would take a nap.

Sanity Claws
(21,857 posts)Lap water with my tongue to see what that is like
Stick my claws into the sofa arm and pull myself up to sit on it.
Stick my claws into a dog's nose for his thinking about sticking his nose up my butt
Run as fast as I can to get away from the dog.
Try liver and see if I'd like it now that I am a cat
Chase the little red dot
Spend the last 5 minutes stoned on cat nip.
I hope I can fit all that in in just one hour.
The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,878 posts)exploring the nature of catness. I might try to figure out the secret of slipping in and out of other dimensions, as in those occasions when I am searched for everywhere and can't be found, but then I suddenly materialize underfoot when a treat package is opened. I might learn what it's like to be able to jump five times my own height, and to see well enough in the dark to sneak up on humans and trip them when they shuffle to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I'll learn how to aim hairballs at the best rugs, or to place them where the human is most likely to step on them. I'll discover what it's like to have a tail and fur and ears that swivel.
I might also take a crack at climbing curtains.
