What are some weird things your cats do?

[nibblets]

Julie makes this noise that sounds just like the cars they fly on The Jetsons...I call her Julie Jetson when she gets going. She will race around the house making this noise. It is really cute.

She likes to get on the top level of her cat perch, which is by a window, and stretch up as far as she can up under the pulled up miniblinds and valance. Several times she has managed to knock the valance curtain rod off the brackets and then leap across the room when they fall. She will then look at me like...'Did you see that thing jump off of there?'

We have a fireplace that has not burned wood in decades. It has a more or less ornamental set of gas logs in it. This is her play house. She will get behind the logs and slowly rise up to peek at us...then slowly lower herself back down thinking she can't be seen...but her tell tale ears are still there. This is also her toy stashing place.

Other than that...she just pretty much does normal silly kitty things.

Hello;

The Tabby Angel will turn off the bathroom lights by hitting the switch with his paw. Its unknown to me why he does this.BTW he can't flip the light back on, he just can flip the switch off. He reaches the switch by jumping up on the sink.

Our RB Ernie could do this when he was young!!! So funny! Spooky until we figured it out!! Then, we had some of those "touch lamps" that sense a touch or moisture or whatever and ALL the cats had fun with them!

Samson is the sweetest kitty in the world for dh & me, but let him hear the doorbell or a strange voice and he is under the bed until the "danger" has left the house. He also goes running to the food dish every time we even walk slightly in that direction.

Saphirah, like Dylan, puts her toys in her food dish. She also likes putting them in the water dish. If we have to shut the cats in the spare bedroom (repairmen in the house, etc.), she always hisses at Chloe and Samson like she is saying, "It's all YOUR fault that we're in here!" She also likes getting in the clothes hamper--doesn't matter if it's full or empty.

Chloe is our little household court jester and social butterfly. She likes to climb people. She also does a trick where she jumps from a table or the arm of the couch into my husband's arms. She will also jump into your arms from the floor and expect you to catch her, usually when you aren't paying any attention. She has also jumped onto my back while I was bending over. When Chloe thinks it is time for me to wake up, she puts her face close to mine and breathes right in my face while purring.

Never a dull moment!

Ron is an exibitionist (sp?). Whenever I go to clean litter boxes, it doesnt matter where Ron is, he hears it...he come running, and just has to poop with me watching before I can clean the litter box out.

hmmm....is there anyone here who can scoop boxes without supervision and perhaps a fresh deposit??

I KNOW about spooky! It took me several weeks to see it. I was in the shower and all of a sudden the lights went out. There he was. I have duct tape over the switch now. I'm not sure what will be next?

And TWINK - Barli and politeness? - this is Dylan too!!! Such gentlemen!

I knew it! They're long lost cousins, for sure.

I love the picture of Dylan in your new sig. I just realized what it reminds me of, too. Somehow, with that expression on his face, he looks just like my late grandmother!

Wise, calm . . . and just a little bit of prim-and-proper shock at the crude goings-on of the world!

Ah, yes, I see a bit of creative patchwork on the tulips now. Never would have noticed.

When I brush my teeth in the morning, Oatmeal has to check out my little cup of water and taste it to make sure it is acceptable. He also does these silly little chirpy things, no meowing.

Zingo is my back up alarm. As soon as I turn the alarm off in the morning he jumps on the bed and purrs at me and makes sure I am getting up.

Thumbelina who has multiple birth defects (bless her little deformed heart) loved to hit the snooze button an the alarm clock! The clock finally wore out after some 15 years, and now I'm down to a puny one that she can't control. Once in a while, I walk into the bedroom and my classical music wakeup station is on. She is one of my miracle kitties in that she's lived so long. She has mega-esophagus, a severe heart murmer, and deformed front legs. I'll post her story some time..too pooped now. But here's her picture. Looking serene!
