I have had cats since I was about 5 years old, and once had 25+, but I live in the country and they were all outside. Now I have two inside and two outside, plus two dogs. The current two inside like to climb all over my sewing table and knock things off.
Before these two I had one inside cat who lived to be 19. I swear he could hear fabric rustle! He could be sound asleep at the far end of the house, but if I laid a quilt top out on the floor he'd be sitting smack dab in the middle of it within a minute. I don't know how he knew because fabric doesn't really make a sound. Some sort of "cat sense" I guess.
