Do you have a "special" kitty?

[jazzcat]

What I mean by "special" is odd and quirky. My special kitty is Rumor. She has several nicknames around here because of her "specialness" like FruitCup and Bull (she charges everthing head first).

Whenever I open the dishwasher door or the oven door she comes running to get under it. We can't keep plastic bags out because she tries to eat them. Any time another cat tries to use the scratching post she charges the post and knocks it over. Another "special" thing she does is lick my decorative goose sitting on the fireplace hearth. She loves to drag things around the house to different spots like her blanket, feather toy and a rope she found. She also loves to lick socked feet.

She prefers to be fed by me throwing the pieces of food one at a time across the kitchen floor for her to chase. She stops them with one paw and swipes them up to her mouth and eats from her paw. It's adorable but odd and she cries if I don't do it for her.

There are more things but this gives you an idea. I'm just wondering if anyone else has a "special" fruitcup kitty.

Here's a couple pictures of the little FruitCup dragging her blanket around.

I guess My Special Cat would be Juke Joint Joseph,whose mania for Whiskas Temptations knows no bounds.
He will do anything for them,beg steal ,anything to have his treats. If I say the word Treats he will materialize,as though Scottie beamed him up.
My Friend Joseph.

Joseph,TREATS!
MMMMMMMMMMMMMRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

All my cats have personal quirks....

But Pookha as a kitten became attached to sleeping on a piece of fabric (gold tissue lame). He is now seven and the fabric has been washed many times... He too moves it around and is quite upset if another cat, but his favorite friend (Futzy), dares to touch it.

Belladonna who was bottle raised (one of my student brought he in half dead and only a week old) has the worst vocabulary. The others all decided, I guess, that I finally had a kitten. The toms spoiled her rotten and the females (all the cats are fixed) deferred to her as the baby of the oldest "cat".... she is this long haired grey and white cat thatlooks as if she should be sitting on a silken pillow, but she is hell on wheels. She climbs in the cockatoo cage to steal the bird-kibble, she snarls at people who come to the door and at the vet it takes two techs to hold her down. But when it thunders she has to be under the covers and touching my skin or she cries and shivers....

Certainly! I think Allen is my only "normal" cat of the bunch!

Pouncer is clutsy... I've never seen such a clumsy cat! We all know about his escapades of breaking his feet. Only one paw left to break, then I'm sure he'll start all over again

Abby is a little twinkle toes. You have to be here to watch her -- she flits here and there on his tippy toes and just rushes around like she's soooo very busy. I have no idea what is on her agenda, but she is fun to watch! Jen called her a chipmunk - she looks like one and flits around like one!

Harry.... wow, Harry, what can I say about my dude? He's ALWAYS hungry. No matter if he just ate a whole can of food, he wants more. and he likes to destroy things. Its fun to shred paper.... well, at least he thinks so.

Flutter.... my little squeaker. She cries and squeaks to be picked up and loved, but when you do, she squirms and squeaks to be let down again

My RB Keke was an unusual girl. To wake me up mornings she used to jump up at the foot of the bed, lower her head like a bull, and march toward me until she rammed into my face.

She also had trouble walking under the coffee table--inevitably, she'd bump her head. I finally decided that she must not have realized that her head extended above her eyes.

She's been gone for 12 years, and I still miss that silly tabby.

Aren't all kitties "special" in their own wierd ways? LOL

Brodie is VERY special! He has to go lick the bath tub faucet every time someone takes a shower. He carries empty tape rolls around and stashes them under the TV stand when he's done playing with them. He loves to lay on paper. If there's paper anywhere, he'll lay on it. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, he tries to answer the phone too! Every time the phone rings, he runs into the living room as fast as he can, like he's running to answer it.

Josie is special in her own way. I think the most special thing about her is her voice. I swear sometimes that she is talking to me. She can almost change the pitch of her meow and makes it sound like she's trying to talk. Very special kitty. Besides that, Josie has this "special" talent of burrowing. She burrows under rugs, into blankets . . . and for some reason, she thinks that she can dig her way out of a closed door. She is also very fasinated by her shadow. She chases it all the time, especially on the hardwood floors.

BTW, Lori, that is too cute of Rumor carrying that blanket around. Josie does the same thing with her feather stick and her brown mouse.

Robbie and Lizzie are....uhm....special.

Both are special because they still *nurse* on their sucky. Well, it is just a fleece bed but they both have suckled on it since they were babies. They are now in their 3rd size larger and they must suckle before each nap.

Lizzie:
When she finishes her "nursing", she picks her head up and has a glazed over look that makes me think she is half asleep, but she continues to *suckle* the air with her tongue. The look is....well, you'd have to see it. It's pretty hysterical.

Robbie is the most special:
If he gets tired, he cries. He cries until someone picks him up and takes him to his sucky so he can go to sleep - just like a tired baby...

He likes to be spanked. He most likes his spanking while laying over the shoulder of his hooman.

He has no usual cat grace. He is not capable of walking across a surface without knocking over numerous objects. He just cannot do it.

If he is told no or made to feel mad in any way - he has a tantrum. The tantrums involve running headfirst into objects...like a bull.

We think Robbie and Lizzie may have been made special while gestating in his mother's womb - she lived on trash in a park

Missy calls them dork, nerd and weirdo. Meowmie calls them special.

Only slightly, most of their gestation was spent in my loving home, remember?

LOL! Yes I agree Christa that all cats are "special" in their own odd ways. All my kitties have their own strange little hang ups.

One thing about Rumor is she is like Robbie and Pouncer - clutzy. Richard says he is going to get her a little custom made helmet so she doesn't get a brain injury.

CatsinDenver - I think Rumor must be related to your RB Keke. The way she woke you up and hit her head on the coffee table sounds just like my little FruitCup.

Debbie - it sounds to me like you have two big babies. How sweet!
