What are your cats strange habits?

[smokey the elder]

My two doofuses Bubba and Pink Nose MUST quality-check every new bag of food! I always find a big hole in it, with the two fatties chowing down. Never mind that it is the exact same kind of food that's in the bowl. ("But it's a different batch, Meowmie!")

Bubba also holds down the food dish with his paw so it won't escape.

Mobius and Bosun sometimes scoop food up with their paws and eat it.

Smokey the Younger likes to drink from the tub faucet (and ONLY that faucet!)

Ebony (RB) used to wash my hair.

Luna, Diamond, and Pink Nose mooch for whipped cream.

Luna eats bananas(!) Maybe he craves potassium being a kidney cat.

Thaks for saying nice things about my frog. He sits in his pond or on this branch. Also thanks for the kind words on our cats. Your pets look are very pretty animals too.

Also my frog was POTD in Oct. 2003.

One of my cats, Freckles, likes to groom my hair Another one, Sheba, likes to chew on the ends of my hair; but only when it's wet Watch out for Dimples, if you bed over near one of her high resting spots, you end up with a passenger on your back

My one cat Bookie loves green olives. My other cat (grey and white)BooBoo treats celery leaves like catnip Which I find very strange.

When my alarm goes off BooBoo will jump up on the dresser and continue to knock things off until I get up. This same cat loves to take bathtub showers. He will put his whole head under the bathtub faucet and let the water run down his head then he will drink from the faucet.

Eepie will walk through the entire apartment at about five in the morning "singing". She goes from room to room just meowing in her high-pitched voice. I used to get up and check on her, to see that they had food and water, etc. but finally, I realized she doesn't want to play, that's just the best singing time, I guess!

I'm sure my other girls have strange habits too....I'll have to think on it a while. It's just Eepie's sticks out in my mind - seeing as how it used to wake me up every morning

Pippin - He rolls around on his back like a dog and keeps all 4's in the air, purrs like a freight train, barks like a dog when he is trying to find Barbie who is hiding from him (he gets mad), pees on dirty clothes, sits right in your line of walking and sits/lays on his stomach while he eats.

Barbie - She sleeps like the dead, isn't scared of anything, has to be in the bathroom if anyone is taking a bath and sit on the tub with you in it, plays with anything she can get her paws on, brings her toys to us, fetches and talks (meows very different distinct meows) a lot for a cat. I used to think she was trying to warn us of something, but over time realized she is just VERY vocal.

I love my kitties! I'd post a pic if I ever figure out how...

Cosmo hates humidifiers. If I have one going, he will bop it with his head until he tips it over.

Clover says "Mama" all the time (it sounds a bit more like Prraama, bit it's still the same!) and both her and Echo have designated each others bowls. Clover eats from teh bowl farthest from the corner, and Echo nearest. I had absolutely no hand in this! And if one starts eating from the other's, they both get agitated!
They both will run around screaming like maniacs through the house, which reminds me greatly of little five-year olds chasing each other aroudn the house.
Clover loves to come up to me and cuddle for only about ten-twenty minutes at a time before running off again, then ten minutes later jumps back on my chest and begins again.
Echo is a tunneler, under rugs, blankets, you name it, she can get under it somehow. She especially enjoys the rug in the bathroom and will follow you in when you take ashower, hide under the rug, and when you step out blind, you have to be really careful not to step on her. She attacks the rug more than people passing by, though.
And they both look at the shower like the most intriguing thing in the world until they get splashed, which is taken as a totally new experience each time.

After Smudge goes #2 he walks into the middle of the apartment and meows two or three times, like an announcement. Given that I was worried about his digestion for a while, I think he's just signaling "(whatever) o'clock and all is well!"

[Taz_Zoee]

Taz can open the bathroom cabinet in the back bathroom (it's okay, there is nothing in there that would hurt him, we actually don't really use that bathroom on a daily basis). When Taz and I first moved in I kept yelling, "Who keeps leaving this cabinet open!?!?". Well, with my boyfriend and I being the only humans in the house, I eventually figured it out. LOL
He likes to hide in that cabinet when something is stressing him out.

My Puddy likes to lick the glue off envelopes. She ruined an entire package once. I was afraid she'd get sick but she didn't.

Creamsicle likes to tear apart cotton balls. But only the ones that have baby oil on them after I wipe the mascara from my eyes.

Boo Bear likes to open my kitchen cabinet and hide on the bottom shelf.

Yodie Yodie likes to sing at the top of her lungs as she running down the steps. Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow in rapid succession!

[FarmGirl13]

The only cat that acts dumb and strange is Tiger. Whenever my friends/neighbors come over, he will start to show off by climbing the front curtains. Then he will jump off and do a backflip. And he lands perfectly on all fours! My mom would throw Tiger (not litterally) outside in the pasture. Then he starts to bug my horse, Misty! What a bad boy!

[Zoey&Mandy]
