They walk right in front of you causing tripping, dropping laundry baskets and other things to assert control. It is a normal manifestation of our seething jealousy to want to do these things, like putting strips of painter's tape, sticky side up, on the kitchen countertop.
I have taken to placing screen mesh behind speaker grill cloth to foil their random acts of destruction on my 1930's radios. 
My outdoor cat (his choice), my third of those "Orange/white" ones, only 10 pounds and very fast, friendly, and can climb anything without needing rescue.

The indoor cat is an 18 pound female, part maincoon, likes attention from the kids and is very noisy.

I know one of my cats, Spunky, she ran between the legs of my mother's walker as Mom was walking. BTW, Mom needs the walker until she gets a bit stronger from her left mastectomy, she has inflammatory breast cancer (IBC). The doctors said they got it all, surrounding areas test negative, but after she heals, she will still need chemo/radiation as a precaution, IBC is very aggressive. Still the cats are helpful to her recovery. You got ot be careful not to trip over them.
We took in Spunky with her three kittens in 2001 but all three kittens have passed from sickness and natural causes so we only got Mom left in the family. We also have Rascal, we took in back in 2007. He is like an adopted son.
