1. Become Olympic-level jumpers in an attempt to steal food.

3. Nap in very ... interesting places.

4. Explore their forbidden loves.

5. Compose songs on the piano.

8. Lounge on the furniture they aren't supposed to be on.

9. Or roll all over the furniture they're not allowed on.

10. Get philosophical with their toys.
