Why Are Cats Always Acting So Sneaky?

If you live with a cat, I’d bet good money that these three things are true: You keep a lint brush near your front door, you’ve accidentally stepped in a puddle of vomit (probably more than once), and you’ve got a story about your cat being sneaky — like this kitty attempting to be light-footed and ever-so careful when entering a room. Or this little orange man who tries to sit, undetected, at the dinner table every night. When I asked cat behavior specialist Stephen Quandt why cats are this way, he started off by sharing his own stealthy-cat story.
