I've only had mine for a few months, and they get up to the usual shenanigans, but they haven't done anything yet that I'll still be talking about years after the fact. The naughtiest thing they've done is torment the dog and somehow get into my cabinets. What about you guys? What is the most ridiculous thing you've ever caught your cat has done?

My youngest cat Casey  openned mutilple oatmeal bath packets and spread it all over my house while we were out. I know it was him because he had oatmeal flakes in his fur when we got home.  Also I caught him openning the last one.  It was a pain to clean up because I live in a townhome so it would be really rude of me to vaacum at 2:30 am and wake all my neighbors up. I was able to use a swiffer sweeper on the hard surfaces and them sweep them up with a broom.  The carpet had to wait until the morning.Casey is a black male cat who is a little over a year old.

Apollo my red male tabby is almost three years old decided to shred an entire roll of toilet paper while I was in the shower.  I caught him in the act when I looked out of the shower because he was talking while he was shredding the TP. Casey helped him.  All the TP rollers in my house now have home made covers using cut up 2 liter pop bottles.

My oldest cat Starbuck  who is now almost 10 years old would communicate affection by biting your nose when she was 6 weeks old.  I did train her to groom us without biting. She was separated from mom and siblings too young and did not understand boundaries.  Thankfully my other cats did teach her things. Starbuck is a borwn and silver tabby.  Poor little kid was thrown out a car window when she was weeks old but was rescued immediately by a friend's family who was out walking their dog.

Sonny is a buff colored tabby.  Occassionally he will just jump in your lap with no warning out of no where.  He went to jump on my lap one day and accidentally scratched me up pretty good because he missed my lap when I turned the chair to get something. My hubby got yelled at to get me paper towels immediately because he was in  the next room. I had so many small bleeding scrapes that he actually helped clean them.  Sonny is 6 years old. I had to throw out a pair of sweats because I could not get my blood out of them.

I'm really interested in what these toilet paper roll covers look like!

I have yet to experience the "naughtiest" thing my cat has done since we just began our journey together a few months ago. But since then, I'd say the naughty thing he does is go under the fence and into the neighbour's yard and stare at their trees. He's on a leash so he can't get too far and I'd tug him and he'd just STAY PUT and will not budge. 

But I've somehow trained him to respond to my "mean voice" and once he hears it, he'll come back. He doesn't go under the fence if I'm watching him but will try when I'm not looking (I leave him alone in the yard for short periods of time - about 5-10 mins at a time).

Kyubi, my 1 year old, likes to smack my so in the face in the middle of the night. I saw it happen once and Kyubi will run away immediately like he's expecting someone to chase him. He never does it to me so naturally I find it pretty hilarious.

Sasha, my 9 year old, used to jump out of our first floor window (no screen) and run away from us. She's been in the backyard with a harness and leash before, but is by no means an outdoor cat. She was very young so she wasn't spayed yet, which probably had something to do with it. We always caught her within minutes though, so no worries there.

My RB cat Wesley used to try to swipe food off the fork as I lifted it to my mouth. He had a very fast paw!

My RB cat Poppy once jumped up on top of the refrigerator and pushed the bread off so the dog waiting eagerly below stuffed herself until she got sick.

That same dog once stole my neighbor's Thanksgiving turkey. She broke into their house through a screened porch, snatched it off the kitchen counter and proudly brought it home to our back yard. Fortunately my neighbor had a good sense of humor. It helped that everyone had gotten a slice before my dog made off with it.

As a tiny kitten (couldn't have been more than 3-4 pounds, Bud managed to pull a heavy, oak-framed mirror off the wall. The mirror shattered, of course.

Bud once stole a cheeseburger from me after a late night Burger King run.

Another time I accidentally left a bag of pistachios on my desk, and Bud scarfed down a whole bunch of them -- shells and all. There's nothing quite like the sounds of a six-month-old kitten screaming in the litter box while trying to force out closed pistachios.

Ditto with wasabi peas. Sorry, Buddy. My bad for leaving 'em out.

And while not "naughty" per se, when I'm recording something and playing my MIDI keyboard, Bud likes to jump up, walk across the keys, and add a few notes of his own. Likewise, when I'm playing my guitar he likes to get in on the action and tries to swat at the strings. He's quite the musician.

Haha, these stories are great, guys! Freya is also a keyboard walker, and she walked on my keyboard while I was taking an online exam and closed me out of it. I had to have the teacher reopen it for me. And Zelda crawled up my body to perch on my shoulder while I was doing my makeup one morning. My legs were covered in scratch marks.

And, this was totally not Freya's fault becuse she couldn't help it, but she was put on antibiotics after getting an infection after being spayed. The antibiotics gave her terrible diarrhea and when I picked her up at one point she immediately pooped all over my front. :(

The naughtiest thing Artie has done is drink from the toilet bowl...yuck....

He does a lot of silly things but that is what was most disgusting to me! 

or jumping into the refrigerator, microwave, or oven!~~~~~ curling up in there!!!! Yes, he has done that....

We could never leave a roll of toilet paper out anywhere or my RB kitty, Ghost, would shred it. He didn't touch the one of the holder but would knock the ones sitting around off and tear off chunks out of the middle of the roll.

Luci would sit on the floor at the toilet paper roll and just roll all the paper off the roll into the floor. When she was  finished she would just walk away like her job was done.

Felix will jump on top of the cabinets and if there is anything up there in his way when he's trying to stretch out it would hit the floor.

Sophie broke a lamp in my room. It was on top of the stereo cabinet near the door. I heard a crash and went in to see what happened. She was sitting on the stereo cabinet looking at me like, "What?? I didn't do it. it JUMPED. I saw it."  

I know what happened. She wanted to relax there and the lamp was in her way so pushed it off the edge. It was lying in pieces on the TV stand that sits next to the cabinet. She proceeded to stretch out on the now empty cabinet and watch me clean up the pieces of broken lamp. 

She does stuff like that ALL the time.  She likes the area on the stand in back of the TV in the living room. We call it the fortress of solitude. She thinks she's invisible back there and scowls at me if I dare to disturb her. Anyway, the battery backup with surge protector USED to sit back there until her majesty came to live with us. She pushed it onto the floor as it was invading "her fortress". It's too heavy to push with her foot so she scooted back against it and pushed it off with her fluffy little butt. she's a resourceful one. 

She hates it if there is ANYTHING on the kitchen table other than the Antser that their dishes sit on and of course, their food dishes. She will scratch at the offending item until I move it. If I don't respond fast enough - yup, she pushes it onto the floor. 

Life with a diva

Frank once left a dead pigeon under my bed it was there for two weeks and took my mother ages to work out what the smell was (I have a very weak sense of smell). He caught and left us various gifts but the pigeon was definitely the worst, most were left in places we could find them and congratulate him on his hunting skills. He also liked to rip up books.

I think the worst was Max pooed on my bed while I was in it. He obviously wasn't impressed with me having come home from uni and taken back ownership of 'his' bed, so I hauled duvet, cat and poo out of my room, grabbed a spare duvet and left him out on the landing all night.

Max also liked to climb, he got on top of my tv and from there on to my shelf where he knocked off a favourite framed photo of my fiance, I had to get the hoover out in the middle of the night and had to explain to my mother why I was hoovering in the middle of the night so there wasn't glass all over the floor for him to get stuck in his paws.

When I first got Max as a kitten, feathery pens were very in fashion I must have got through at least ten, he attacked every single one, the last straw was the fascinator I bought for my cousins wedding. My mum has series of photos of him, one of him on the chair looking up at it, one of him on mantelpiece about to bat it off and the last of him on the floor attacking it.

When I was very little my brother and I had two matching robin Christmas decorations, mine fell off the tree and you can guess what happened, I cried, but eventually forgave Bourneville, could never say mad at her.

Artie also does not like it when I am on the phone talking and he is on my lap...he needs my undivided attention!! If I get a phone call, he quickly jumps down.....sigh...

My cat Diamond jumped on the kitchen table and knocked my favorite red vase to the floor shattering it. I don't know if there was a fly on the vase or what she did it right in front of me. I don't know if it her or my other cat Princess that poop in front of the cat tree ever so often but it's really annoying! Princess broke an old beta bowl I was using to organize my makeup brushes. There pretty good cats though.

What hasn't Lucien done? He broke three slats of the living room blinds, probably broke part of the rubber thing in the sink drain (he likes to put his paw down the drain and I must have forgotten to block it one night), bites my feet under the blanket, and -my personal favorite- knocked the trash all over the living room floor several times so my boyfriend and I had to go out and buy a better trash can. He licked every can and plastic tray in the trash. I hope it was worth it, you monster. OH and he likes to stalk us when we eat. He sneaks around us really slowly like he thinks we can't see him. Unbelievable.

He's a criminal mastermind but I love him anyway.

I forgot about the time Diamond jumped in the tub with me and scratched me all up. Princess has ruined the blind in my daughters room looking outside. This isn't a very positive subject.:D

In have two 'adolescent' boys... need I say more? LOL

They have each had their share of 'naughtiness' and yet, even with all their antics, I've always ended up with a smile on my face (right after the steam stopped shooting out of my ears!). 

Keeker was 6 weeks when I brought  him home and he took to the litter box immediately. I was so proud of him! However, I hadn't had a cat in my home for quite some time and remembering to scoop the box sometimes evaded me. That is, until Keeker discovered a way to 'train' me! 

He didn't (and still doesn't) like more than two or three 'clumps' in his litter so, if I wasn't on top of my obligations, he would revove his dainty little deposits and secretly place them in the toes of my shoes! How much fun was THAT to find when I was rushing out the door and slid my foot in my shoe?! LOL  Needless to say, I learned quickly to scoop the poop!

Several months ago, I was awakened at the butt-crack of dawn by excited chirping and pouncing from Kricket. When I finally turned on the light to see what he so desperately needed, I found he had brought me a MOUSE and placed it next to my pillow! 

Unfortunately, it was the 'mouse' from my laptop! *sigh* What could I do but thank him for the present and go back to sleep?

Together, they have knocked lamps off tables, tipped over a dining room chair, shredded TP and rolls of paper towels, chewed open a box of cereal I left on the counter and scattered it throughout 3 rooms before I caught them, shredded a window screen climbing up to catch a bug, stole hair scrunchies from my head while I slept, 'stole' a pen out of a friend's purse, climbed into a kitchen cabinet to 'check things out', hid the TV remote under a throw rug, did things to my computer that I had to have a technician repair (literally reset everything and deleted files - the tech said he didn't learn to do that stuff until his second year in school! LOL), crawled under and up the back of a chest of drawers and got 'stuck' in a drawer, Keeker locked Kricket in the linen closet, knocked over drinks, threw up on a pile of clean laundry, auto-dialed a friend on my cell phone, chewed holes in and through a package of new underwear, pulled the shower curtain (rod and all) down during a bout of playing 'cops and robbers' chase, got in the pantry and ripped open a 20 pound bag of dry food and spewed it everywhere, got into the medicine cabinet and dumped all the Q-tips on the floor, climbed up the pizza delivery guys leg, and so many other things I can't even think of them all!

What would I do without them? Sit my tidy apartment and stare at the 4 walls all day? LOL  They keep me alive and active! And I love them with all my heart!

Robin is pretty tame, but when he wants to be naughty he goes for the paper towels. The other day he went from yowling to...quiet. When I found him, he was sleeping. On a paper towel. The roll was shredded and for a pillow he had somehow dragged my coffee filters down and was rather contentedly sleeping on them.

And I bought him a "kitty cube"...why??
Lol
