    So many of these could be in the Cat Haiku thread which I just bumped up:

    Eddie has some quirks that, if he was not so sweet and innocent, might be concerning...

    He likes his butt spanked. Often, hard...

    He "loves" his blankie. But only if I give it to him...

    He likes to get in the shower and drink the water on the ledge...

    We do not know where these things come from. I swear we never let him read kitty porn!

    Oh, this is better than my "worship" thread - Bittie's lastest was to rummage through the clean laundry and pick out a washcloth that she then proceeded to knock on the floor, rabbit kick, roll around with, and "wash" her face with it. I put it on the crocheted square at the foot of the bed and she cuddles up with it when she's sleeping there.

    Another Bittie quirk - getting up on the top of the bookcases that are in the den. They were added by the previous owner and don't reach the ceiling. (Check out a picture in my first album.) It's Bit's way of getting my attention. But when I walk out of the room, she immediately jumps down - "Hey, Mom, where ya goin'?"

    Lulu likes to pick on Bibette and will stare her down at breakfast, when I give them some canned food - I've seen Bittie walk away without taking a bite (more like slink away ).

    OH - aren't they just so special?

    Franklin is my strange kitty ......he thinks grooming Chelsea is his purpose in life. unfortunately this also means chewing off her whiskers. At some point she will get annoyed and swat him away, usually with much hissing and growling. He will also come into the kitchen and yowl at me until I follow him to the kitty room, lift him him up on the bed and pet him roughly......silly boy.
    Chelsea, on the other hand, is pure princess. I often lie in bed to work on my laptop and she will insist on laying
    on top of my right arm. Do you know how hard it is to mouse with a kitty sprawled across your forearm??? Lol

    Ed is a master of "mad-dogging" the dog.

    Mad-Dogging is the term used to describe one person giving another a 'hard look'.

    Ed will walk by the sleeping dog, stop and stare at the dog.

    Depending on how asleep the dog is? He will either ignore Ed, growl or jump up and bark furiously at him.

    (Ed does stand his ground, often with the "WTF are you gettting bent out of shape for?" look on his face....)

    I laugh, therefore? I am.

    My son's 2 cats in residence here have a few quirks:

    They are petrified of the noise that plastic grocery bags make. They will run like the devil is after them every time they hear one. So of course that lets out buying any toys with the crinkle noise material.

    They must have the water left on a slow drip in the sink in my grandson's bathroom, so that they have fresh water all the time, even tho they have their own water bowls.

    They will steal hair scrunchies or pony tail bands, and their toy mousies, and deposit them in the water bowl in the kitchen only, and also play footsie in the same water bowl.

    One of them loves to spend the day hidden among the towels in the linen closet.



    My RB Meezer Ming loved BenGay. If my ex or I used it before bed, we had to keep the bedroom door closed to keep Ming out, since he would be trying to lick it off of us all night.

    Casey is obsessed with the litterboxes and making sure everything is properly buried. He also will wipe his front paws on the sides of the litterbox after he's done burying his deposits. After he's done his business, he'll cover it, wipe his paws, sniff the buried stuff, rebury it, wipe his paws again, sniff again, and repeat a few times until it's properly buried. It doesn't matter if I've just washed out the litterboxes or they've just had the litter topped off.
