Researchers haven\u2019t studied the exact reason, so they cannot say with 100 percent certainty, but they do think three things can contribute to the behavior: 1) your cat wants to climb and objects are in the way, 2) your cat wants to play, and 3) your cat has a natural desire to investigate. Some things you can do to prevent the behavior: give your cat climbing options, leave open boxes around your home for your cat to play in, give your cat plenty of opportunities to play, keeps items away from the edges of your table or desk, or offer them things they can safely push, like empty plastic cups, balls, or small toys.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>19-POUND CAT, MISSING FOR 28 DAYS, FOUND IN NEIGHBOR\u2019S CHIMNEY\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nobody wants their pet to go missing.

Caitlyn Wertenberger says she put up flyers and searched the area, but there was no sign of her pet. She said 28 days later her neighbors returned home, and invited her to search the house for Piper. She found the cat stuck in the fireplace damper. Wertenberger took the cat to a veterinarian, who said the animal was dehydrated and had lost about seven pounds in the four weeks she was missing.
