RE: What interesting things has your cat destroyed
When I was living in Idaho, and had to haul my water home in 55 gallon drums (in the summer); I also had a beautiful calico Persian cat that I just loved. She was actually a well-behaved cat, and what she did certainly upset me (terribly); but she was actually not being destructive.
In the winter time, it was too cold to haul water home, so when I got home from work, I would shovel snow into 5-gallon buckets, haul them into the house, and fill up my bathtub heaping full of snow.
Overnight, the snow would melt, and I had water to wash, brush my teeth, and the rest was used to flush the toilet. The system worked fine.
At least it worked fine until the night that I filled the bathtub up with the snow, and my Callie Cat came in, happily jumped into the snow, and went to the bathroom !!
You must know that the very first thing that came into my mind was all the days I had been brushing my TEETH with that melted snow water ! !
After I got over being horrified, I made a fast decsion that my wash water would come from a different tub of snow that was not accessible to the cat.
