Though about once a year, she was smart enough to sneak past me and get out the front door.

I don't know what that says about MY intelligence level.

3. From my years of purely unscientific observation,
I have to assume that a cat's brain is no bigger than a lima bean. Oh, they can stare at you and stalk and pounce and look all elegant and stuff...but there's really not much mental power behind it. I still love them and am a devoted house servant to six. (Plus a loving lackey to the mother of them all outside who allows me to pet her when I feed her.)

7. Do you really want someone to guess?
It isn't really a guess, I know that sis is the smart one. I've had enough female/male cat combinations to know this is a fact.

8. that absolutely is true
And I will cite a story to prove it.

I moved a kitchen cabinet out about 18 inches. I was cleaning. This left a rectangular space of about 18" x 56" behind the cabinet. One of my three cats was watching and immediately jumped up on the radiator and down into the space. You know a cat loves an enclosed space like that.

So eventually she jumps out, leaves the room, and within about three minutes, the other two cats come in, jump up on the radiator, and into the enclosed space.

How else could they have found out about it?

And when I got two of the cats, the cat I had first conducted a little school. They would sit around with the first cat at the "teacher" and the other two cats were sitting like they were listening. This went on for some time and then everyone "graduated."
