She uses my garbage can as a perch thejust in time for me to seriously want to dipose of something
- Wakes me up some time between 2:00 and 5:00
- Goes under/behind the heavy furniture to throw up (or else, on my bed)
- Doesn’t eat her food, but cries for more food
If cats can see the bottom of the food bowl, they think it’s empty. Shake it even and they’ll eat more.
My cat is a fluffy bastard. He likes to lay in dirt with debris of sorts. Pollen, seeds, twigs, flowers, bits of loose moss… the leftover stuff after spring. And so he and his fluffy coat come in and leave a trail of the stuff wherever he goes. I spent time brushing it out, only for him to gather it up again the followibg day. He is a walking swiffer.
I know all cats like to get under your feet but mine is an absolute jedi master at knowing exactly where to be to inconvenience you the most. I don’t know how she does it. She just knows exactly where I’m going to go so she can be directly in the way. You’d think she’d learn after being accidentally kicked a few times but nope.
That’s an extra dangerous behaviour they have, especially for old people.
Yeah I’m potentially moving abroad next year and will have to find a home for her, and I’m cautious to give her to certain people for that reason.
LOT. When cats do this “messing around your feet stuff”, instead of normal walking, sort of drag your feet.
We have an auto feeder for their dry food that has a removable metal bowl beneath the spout. When the metal dish is in place, all the kibble pours out into the bowl. When the cats think the food is overdue, they will tap the metal bowl out of the way to get attention or wake the machine up or whatever cat reason…and the kibble bounces off the hard flat plastic surface and half of it spills onto the floor where the dog will gobble it up.
Sometimes I put the bowl back in place and sometimes I wait and see if they’ll learn the lesson on their own.
5am face snuffle. Basically trying to wake me up to feed him.
My cat loves to be a bongo, there is nothing in the world he loves so much as to have his bum bomped. So rather than lie in my lap or rub his cheek against my hand when he wants attention, he sticks his butt in my face instead. If my face is inaccessible, he makes sure his butt is by my hand or arm so he’s constantly in the way if I’m on the computer or working with my hands. If he’s near me his butt is pointed towards me. He’s a handsome boy so it’d be nice to see the other side of him sometimes.
We discovered the bongo technique about two years ago, I genuinely can’t remember how we gave her attention before that, for now there is only bongos.
Stands directly behind me, yowling. Keeps it up until I pick him up and cuddle him. Does this only when I’m cooking.
When I stand up to stretch after sitting for a while, he will jump on my char and lay over it.
I have almost sat on him a few times.
Oh yes, ours is a chair thief too! Little stinkers.
Old story, may not qualify. Something like 30ish years ago when I was but a young lad, I had some stuffed animals on a shelf that my dad had won from the claw machine on bowling nights. That takes dedication right there. Anyway one was a small, slightly fuzzy brown dog.
The cat decided to “this is mine now” with it and her preferred hiding place was under the parents’ bed. My mother world constantly find it when cleaning, give it back, and tell me to put it away. Cat came back and took it again. Every. Single. Time.
Eventually I just gave up and let her keep it. My mom had to restitch the neck several times because that’s where cats grab kittens when carrying them around.
Existing in a quantum superposition of living and dead states.
Melon pees in the bath, Snuggles licks plastic bags, and Franny has chronic snot rockets. I love them all endlessly.
pees in the bath
Ooh, I do not like that. Would never allow them to pee anywhere outside their fancy litterbox…
I had a cat that used to yank all the books off the bottom of the bookshelves, not because he wanted to sit there, just because.
He also used to bang the bottom kitchen cupboards over and over again with his paw just because.
He hated whistling. If you whistled, he would scream at you to stop, and if you didn’t, he would bite your face.
I had a cat years ago that apparently thought he was ‘helping’ me by gently removing my glasses by biting the hinge and slowly pulling them off of me. I never could fully break him of that habit either, I just had to make sure he never got close to my face whenever I’d pet him.
Silly kitty! 😹
Drinking from the toilets 🤢🤮
my cat stopped sleeping anywhere other than my epic gaming chair a few months ago. whenever i want to sit on it, i either have to sit on the very edge to not upset my little princess, or have her get very angry :D
she’ll sooner lie down on the floor than ever sleep on my bed again
