Our cats, who never got on the kitchen counter during daytime hour and when we up and about, somehow, their very long distinctively colored hair would be on the counter in the morning. I think they got up there and just had to scratch and groom, roll all over the counter. I learned over 54 years ago to not leave butter out on the counter, even covered they got to it. The worst was when I started chopping vegetables, and cat hair would start flying around.
