Hello to everyone!

I’m not sure if these behaviours are actually “quirks” or not but I thought I’d share my cat’s behaviours with you, and let you decide.

My cat’s name is Pooka and he’s a seven year old neutered male I rescued from the kitty slammer in my town.

He loves to play ‘fetch’ and will return plush kitty-toy “balls” when I throw them. He likes any kind of ‘action’ toy and loves it when anyone will play with him.

He’s addicted to catnip and the cream filling in donuts. He likes shrimp and peanut butter and has been known to much down on a variety of “strange” human foods! One of his favorites is angel food cake. I don’t feed him these kinds of things but his exuberance for a wide variety of human foods strikes me as somewhat peculiar.

He opens the patio doors and any door that ‘slides’, in addition when I first brought him home I had to “child-proof” my apartment to keep him from getting into the kitchen cupboards (both uppers and lowers)!

He’s grown quite affectionate over the six+ years he’s shared my apartment with me. As a very tiny baby he suckled my ear-lobes while I tried to get to sleep!

There’s lots more curious “wrinkles when it comes to Pooka, but I’m wondering if these behaviours are “quirks” or just the behavior of ‘extrovert’ cats or if he’s really “strange”.

Peace and Respect

Wilson
