Strange things your cats do.

My friend had drawers with open acess her cat would take her socks during the day and hide them under the couch. she would come home in the evening and her sock drawer would be empty every day. LOL

My cat Alex likes to sleep by my side at night, and he has to turn around in a circle a couple of times before he lays down. Its so funny, when he gets up on the bed sometimes my husband will tell him to lay down, and I tell him you cant make him lay down, he has to do his circle thing before he will lay down. He has always done it.

love these stories!

Sylvestra has an emery board fetish...every time I try to file my nails with one at home she runs up and steals it from me, snatching it away & taking it under the bed with her.

And of course some of my cats have the shoe fetish thing going on, too. Mr. Underfoot got his head stuck in a tennis shoe once...come to think of it, he's gotten his head stuck in a lot of things over the years.

And Mr. loves to drink with his paw...I have to guard my drinking glass or he will sneak up & stick his paw in it to taste whatever I'm drinking. He's learned the hard way not to stick his head in a glass or cup.

I love reading about little quirks like the kind in this thread. They're all so fascinating. It's not strange, but when my sister had her first cat, he really like to have company when he ate. He would crunch away at the bowl with his head down like every other cat, but every few seconds he would stop and turn up to look at you, as if to see that you were there and paying attention. Then he'd go back to eating and repeat the same pattern. I miss that.

Sometimes, when Spot is sound asleep, I'll walk over to him and whisper in his ear and tell him what a sweet boy he is. He doesn't open his eyes or raise his head up or anything . What he does is he starts kicking himself in the chin with his hind foot over and over...like he has an itch. It's too funny...LOL!

Whispering in Spot's ear must tickle him!

LOL! Maybe so, I never thought about that!

It never fails...every time I go to the bathroom Tiki must escort me to the John. Once I positioned on the toilet, she sits right in front of me and watches every second of it. Once I'm done, she waits at the door until I flush. Once I'm dressed, she's out the door waiting on the otherside. I don't know if she think the Toilet is going to suck me down it or what...but it's like she's monitoring my Bathroom time!

Every night at 10, all three cats line up at the stairway. Tiki meows VERY loud and the others look over at me. It's like they are telling me it's time to go to bed! If I don't get up right then, they sit there until I do finally go to bed. Once we go up the stairs, they race each other to my bed. Once again, they line up right in front of the bed and start begging for treats. I started giving them treats right before we go to sleep last year and now it's EXPECTED every night!

I have a headband with leopard print cat ears on it that I got at Hot Topic around Halloween. Whenever I put it on, Jules looks at me and his eyes get reeeeal wide, and he backs away from me slooowly. The other cats just stare at me.

Do they think I've suddenly turned into the biggest cat of them all?

LOL!!! Sue - that sounds hilarious! They probably think, "Alpha Mommy - Run!"

My Samantha (over the rainbow bridge) was my log roller at night. I toss and turn a lot when I sleep and Sammie used to sleep on my legs or thighs, whatever was the highest point. I would flip suddenly in the night and Sammy, sound asleep or not, would log roll and land on top every time. She never once fell off!

meow meow has got this little thing abt sleeping on the edge of the bed and a couple of times she would be stirring in her sleep..she would all of a sudden, roll off the bed and fall right onto the floor with a loud thud! then she would open her eyes and look really confused abt what has happened...really funny...

Mom of Many, Max does that with me, too! Fortunately, she is only about 8 or 9 lbs, so she is a lightweight.

Don't you just love it when they so unsuspectingly roll off whatever it is they are laying on? Bleu does it all the time. He rolled off the window perch and landed in the waste basket the other day. He got out (with a little help from me) and walked away with his tail twitching.

jmvito: Did Bleu give you that look of "I meant to do that....really I did" as he strolled off?

ROFL

Goldmine likes to lie on his back and stick his paws and feet up in their air at weird angles. He looks like a funny, cute, lazy blob!

OMG it is too hilarious! After posting the other day about the cats' reaction to the cat-ear headband, I went looking for it and put it on. Khepera took one look at me, widened his eyes, flattened his ears, lowered himself to the ground and let out a loud HISS!

It was very funny, we laughed, but he was so obviously upset that I took the "ears" off and made sure he knew it was just me, that everything was ok. He recovered with an application of Pounce treats and some tummy scritches.

MomofMany. When he was a younger man-cat he would give me that look. But now that he's an old man-cat recovering from FLD, he's become so very skittish. He was so scared when he dropped into the wastebasket. He twitched about 30 times and ran out of the room with his belly dragging and his tail tucked under his legs. Poor guy. I didn't laugh at him out loud because I didn't want to add to his humiliation. But it was so comical.
