She would balance her hind legs on the bottom drawer, stick her claws in the top of the top drawer, slowly pull it open, jump in and throw everything out (mostly underwear and stockings). I would come home from work and my bedroom would look like it had been ransacked. Nobody believed me, so I took pictures, one of her opening the drawer and another with everything hanging out of the drawers. I even have one of the pictures of her opening the drawer in a frame that says "Just say no to catnip" on a shelf in my livingroom.

She never opened the dishwasher, though.
