same with ferrets. if you don't give them outlets to be "bad", they will destroy everything. lots of pretending I don't notice a they drag the old shoes across the floor to the new hiding spot, or "steal" kibble from the bag. had one guy that would check to see if I was busy in the bathroom before he'd go do the thing he really wanted to do. like steal the candy off my desk.
my cat, on the other hand, just yells for what she wants. worst case, if I leave her alone too long, she might decide she deserves a treat and will get it for herself. from the bag I left on the floor, knowing she could her it herself.
