The only silly thing one cat we had did was ride shoulders and get on top of doors. Now she would not get on mom's shoulders. Could be she couldn't get on top of doors from mom's shoulders.
How the shoulder thing started was we had two kittens Maybe (maybe she will make it, maybe she won't) and Me Too (when you paid attention to Maybe, Me Too would come up and essentially say Me too, so that is what we named her. Maybe was two weeks old when we got her, Me Too was 6 weeks old. I would just scoop up Me Too and set her on my shoulder while I fed Maybe.
So Me Too got used to shoulders and discovered she could get on doors from shoulders. She would stay there until a tall (5'6 or taller) walked by. She scared more than one friend by jumping on their shoulders.
Maybe lived to a ripe old age.
