EVIL MINION (aka Mittens)

[sweet_stormy]

ok, my kitten Mittens is now 7 months old. she is fixed and i was stupid and allowed her to go outside. now when she is not outside she meows like something is wrong. well one night i was in bed TRYING to sleep when all of a sudden a hear a big KA-PLUNK and my first reaction was that the little $h!t had fallen behind my sterio. no, she ran into a box. after she ran into the box she started to wabble around like she couldnt walk straight. i got out of bed and she went KA-PLUNK on the floor. i thought she hurt her leg or something because she would meow if i went near her feet. so i pulled my hand back for like a second and at that second she stood up, jumped on my bed, went to my blankets, laid down, and started to purr. i was like "you little $h!t what did you do that for? you little f***er!" she was like "just practicin for April Fools Day". anyone have a kitty that does that?

My cat, ironically also named Mittens, went through some bizarre behavior after her "outside" priviledges were revoked...

Quick story - I used to take her outside to allow her to sit and scratch on a wooden fence post, which she was quite content to do for a while. Until one night she decided she would leap off, so she did. After some coaxing with treats, I got her back into the house, and she's been an indoor cat since.

But for a few months following this, she would stand by the door, and literally scream at it to open. She'd also try pulling it open by sticking her paws underneath and yanking on it. Of course, she didn't limit these actions to just while I was awake - it could go on all day. She would also take to simply falling limp and whining at me, which I always took as signs of sulking - which is what it sounds to me like your Mittens is doing now!

She stills occasionally likes to stand by doors and wonder if she might be allowed outside, but the sulking has stopped!
