Why is it? Part I

Why is it that kitty cats will always try to get into the store room whenever Alex or I need to go in there to get something? The minute the store room door is open a crack, there will be at least one cat trying to slip past our legs to get in. And once in there, it is almost impossible to get them out.

Although the store room is pretty small, the cats still manage to find good hiding places in it. So it should come as no surprise that occasionally, one of them would inadvertently get locked in. This is not a problem for most of them as they would just meow loudly when they decide that they have had enough and want to come out. Unfortunately, little Harmony will not do that. She will not come when called either, not even for food. So it is sometimes very hard to tell if she is just happily snoozing somewhere well hidden, or she has been trapped in the store room or cupboard. In the past, we have had to hunt high and low for her, calling out her name over and over again, only to find her sitting in the store room patiently waiting for us to open the door for her. And all that time, not one peep out of her. Not even to say, "I'm in here, mummy! Let me out!"
