We used to have a cat who would run down the hall toward the bedrooms
and leap up the wall to flick on the overhead light switch. She didn't
do it often, but we saw her do it 3 or 4 times.

She also would climb an aluminum extension ladder to see what my husband
was doing up on the roof and would lie in the rain gutter with her chin
hanging over to watch him paint the house. She died at age 23 and we
have never attempted to replace her because she was one of a kind.
