Your cat's recent sneaky behavior could be a playful streak or a change in her environment that's prompting this new habit. Cats often exhibit such behaviors in response to their surroundings or due to boredom.
- Watch for changes in her environment that could be affecting her behavior.
- Consider if she's getting enough mental and physical stimulation.
- Look out for any stressors that could be unsettling her.

If this behavior is accompanied by unusual signs such as aggression, hiding, or changes in appetite, it might indicate stress or health issues. It's important to understand the context of her actions to ensure she's happy and healthy.
