Floki's latest trick is climbing up the kitchen cabinets using the
drawer handles as a ladder. He doesn't get up on the countertops
thankfully, but he's worked out that he can see what I'm doing if he
stands on the lowest handle and grabs onto the top one with his front
paws. I think I'm going to have to persuade him out of the habit though,
as he's getting quite big now and I suspect the drawer handles won't
hold up in the long run.
He's really at least nine-tenths of a cat now, not a kitten any more.

Oh dear! I feel (fear?) for you. I'm fortunate in that Buffy (who is a
rather heavy cat) is not a climber. I'd have to be concerned about her
hurting herself if she could get up on the counter while I'm chopping
vegetables or anywhere near the stove when I'm cooking. She tends to
stay out of the kitchen, which is a good thing.

Hopefully you can persuade Floki not to keep climbing and messing up the
the drawer handles.

I've never had a kitten but it sounds like you're entering the "teenage"
stage. Good luck!
