9. We have one that seems to try to turn on light switches.

She sees us turning light switches on/off & she jumps up the door jamb, grabbing the casing (trim) on both sides. If there's a light switch next to a doorway, there are cat claw marks on the trim on both sides & she actually gets several inches higher than the switch.

She hasn't turned a light on/off that we know of, but she seems to be trying.
