I should have posted about these the first-time I posted here-
Years ago, I rescued a small, stocky & Black & White kitten, I am also the one that feeds all animals, in our household. Surprisingly & not seen since or before from the cats (or dogs) I care for, behavior was completely learned on his own, when given the spoon (that dished-out the animals’ wet foods) & finished licking the first side, then he starts flipping the spoon on the other side, using only either one of his front paws, not just for one-paw.
I keep encouraging the former wild, adult & orange Tabby cat (loves to eat, so much so had to be put on a restricting food intake diet) to learn the behavior, but I eventually have to flip the spoon over. Maybe, I should just never flip over the spoon?
The former wild, adult & orange Tabby cat has completely learned on his own a other behavior- with doors with the long & straight door handles, he just jumps & hangs his 11-Lbs. of weight on the door handles, until the doors open. We had to change our inside the house doors’ handles to only round door handles. But when we changed the doors to the outside to Hurricane doors, they only offered the doors handles that are long & straight.If we do not lock those doors, the cat escapes.
If that was not bad enough the former wild cat has figured-out whom are easy people to get past, where to hide & the timing of when to charging all the open doors.
I recall seeing videos of cats that are quite sneaky, performing ninja-gymnastics to operate doors. They wait until no humans are around and go and do something the owner doesn’t like. In some cases owners took care to ensure a cat could not access whatever area was banned only to discover after installing surveillance videos that the cat can pull off some amazing feats when no one is around – and close the door to conceal their mischief.
I have another super sweet &.I am his only person/Being, after his huge in stature brother died, but he still uses his pee & poo on the floors & rugs. Sometimes, I think he is mad about not getting what he wants from me.
Could be, except he is the most harmless cat I have ever known & the other cat has his favorite person. When he appears to be aggressive, it is by appearing to make innocent mistakes, like walking into another animals personal space.

Sounds like marking, which I think only happens if the cat is in competition with another animal for territory.
