What is the naughtiest thing your cat has ever done?

Ghost was the worst about eating my bread. It never failed, if I left a loaf of bread, rolls or buns on the counter or table there would be a huge chunk in the middle that had been eaten out of it. He didn't like the ends and always went for the middle of the loaf. He even got to the point of opening the cabinet I kept it in, pulled it out just so he could have some bread. I started having to leave it in the microwave so he couldn't get to it.

Once when I was out of town for a weekend, Sunday morning I get a call from my boyfriend. My cat decided to show him her displeasure at my absence by bringing a mouse inside. And shredding it to a million pieces all over the couch.

Another time I caught her looking shifty as she ran into the bedroom. Good thing I noticed, because she was stashing a dead bird in the box spring!

I had a cat like that, we had to turn the bread box my mom got at a thrift store to put snacks and stuff in back into a breadbox! He never ate that much, he'd just tear the bag open and maybe eat a bite or two.

That cat also went crazy for broccoli.

I agree with the above, the worst is when Casper brought a bird into the house and scattered feathers (and worse) everywhere. He's our problem child, he knocks remotes (and anything else) onto the floor if we don't let him outside, if we go out and don't take him, he hangs from the top of the screen door, spread eagle like a bat! He's constantly on the counter, and wakes us up every day exactly one hour before we need to get up. He cries and cries until he gets fed every morning then takes three licks of gravy and is done. On the other hand my Burt is an angel! He does NOTHING wrong!

Kitten thinks it's her sworn duty to lick the top of fresh baked biscuits.

Robin just chased a moth into my pantry moth glue trap. I found this out when I saw him waving something around in the living room. He was really scared, poor cat. Tore the thing to get it off him, then scissored off glue-y tufts of fur on his paw pads. Good grief...

One thing I learned after being owned by several felines is that when they do something naughty just to get your attention, you need to ignore them if possible, as any reaction whatsoever, negative or positive achieves the intended result....getting your attention! Sami has decided that 3:00 AM is play time and that I need to participate. She tried batting my closed eyes, lying on my face and playing with my hair, knocking items off the night stand one by one and checking to see if I reacted. I didn't so she discarded those tactics. But night before last she actually bit my nose! Well it hurt and I could not help but react, although extremely negatively. Last night she did it again and immediately scampered away. I could almost hear her laughing! Do I have a monster in the making here? Do I need to apply Bitter Apple to my nose? She is only 13 weeks old. If she does it again, she is going to be banned from the bedroom...

My problem child is Mia. When she wants attention, she wants it now! If I'm laying on the couch and watching TV, not playing with her, she jumps to the top of the high shelving unit or finds something anywhere in the room I'm in to knock down. Then sits and stares and waits to see what I will do. When I get on my phone, she ha her one special toy she goes to that is NOISEY  and I have a hard time hearing. I swear she knows. She will go in the kitchen and try and open doors but I have baby locks on them now however she has recently figured out drawers so next trip into a bigger town that I can buy baby stuff at I have to get little things for them.  Norville once broke a lamp but I believe it was an accident. He is so laid back!

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 sweet Roger had IBS and one day I guess he could not hold it and he pooped in a large bag of sun flower seeds I had opened and left by the steps. I went to feed the birds that morning and felt something big and lumpy inside the bag. I was so grossed out when I found out what it was. 

I thought my Boys had done it all ... until this morning!

They have a preferred taste for either Beef, Salmon, or Chicken Pate`. Yesterday, I saw Turkey on sale and thought I would give it a shot since it was the brand they always eat. So, for breakfast this morning, they were given Turkey Pate`. Neither was exceptionally pleased with it, which I found a little 'stupid' because the ingredients are identical to the chicken with the exception they just added turkey to it. They DID eat it (probably because it was that or nothing). 

All was well and they went about their usual routine of playing, sleeping and driving me nuts. Then it happened...

I went into the bathroom and smelled something rather potent. I checked the litter box and it was clean from this morning (except for a lump or two of pee). I shrugged it off and proceeded to do what I went there for. But, walking from the litter box to the toilet, I stepped on the throw rug in front of the sink and it 'squished'!

Apparently the turkey didn't agree with someone and they were thoughtful enough to not to deposit it in the shared litter box! Instead, he chose to pull the corner of the rug back, poop his unformed/semi-liquidy and stinky turkey remnants, and then politely cover it back up with the rug!

Of course, they had both followed me to the bathroom (as usual) and Kricket just looked at it and walked back out. Keeker, on the other hand, started to Meow and rub against my leg, purring. He looked up and me and said, "I did it there so nobody would have to see or smell it. Sorry"!

No worries. It was a one-time incident and he did what he thought was best for everyone. I just wasn't planning on doing a load of laundry and mopping floors on a Sunday morning! 

I made a note to myself to NOT buy Turkey anymore and to donate the rest to the local shelter.  How is YOUR day going?

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).

They are just cup up pieces of 2 liter pop bottles that are cut to fit over the top of the roll of toilet paper. They enclosed the toilet paper so the cats can't get to it.

I made cupcakes today. Turned my back for a minute to make the frosting, turned back around to find Zelda eating the tops off of the finished cupcakes. I had to throw out a whole pan.

OMG I have a thousand naughty kitten stories. Smashed pottery, jailbreaking the food bag, just plain knocking things over.....I have a few candidates for "naughtiest" though.

One of my cats walked through a pan of bright blue paint when we were painting our living room. Then tracked it through the house and onto our bedspread. I still have that bedspread and there are still blue pawprints on it.

Another time I was making brownies, floured the pan, turned my back for 3 seconds to get the batter, and came back to this:


No cat in sight, either. So we don't even know who did it.

One of my cats had a propensity for destroying tissues and toilet paper. We called him something else at first but I eventually changed his name to Shredder. One time Shredder emptied a brand new box of tissues, then tore the box open so he could sit in it.



How could you be mad at that face?

But the grand prize might go to my resident grandma cat, Maxine, a grumpy old lady tortie we inherited from a neighbor. Generally does nothing but sleep, eat and poop, and all our rescue kittens love to snuggle on her. But her one bad habit is sharpening her claws......on my laptop keyboard.

On my old laptop she pulled up the keys several times, and I learned to keep the laptop lid closed when I was out of my home office. When I got a new laptop earlier this year we built a stand that put the laptop on an angle so I could use a keyboard and have the screen at eye-height. The night before I left for my new job in Kuwait, I was packing up things in my office. I printed my flight itinerary, then walked out of the room for a glass of water. I was gone 2 minutes, 3 tops...but enough time for her to pull up / break off 2 of my keys on the new PC. *sigh*

Comet (10 mos) shredded an entire package of toilet paper when I was at work one day. Now we have to keep his litterbox in the pantry because he destroys my bathroom (knocking over my makeup organizer, shredding the TP roll, licking the toilet brush (gross), licking the bathtub drain etc. And the bathroom door is kept closed at all times.

See face below... :lol3: Wendall. The naughtiest, most mischievous AND INTELLIGENT cat I have ever has the pleasure of loving. BUT WHAT A PAIN sometimes.

He has stolen more items than I can list and drags them under our bed. But one of his most naughty behaviors is counter surfing and opening up the kitchen cabinets. You cannot turn your back for a minute or all bets are off. He is slick and sly and OH so quiet too. You never hear him coming or going. I had made Larry's sandwich for lunch one day and left it in the bag on the counter and got a phone call that I just had to take. When I returned, about 10 minutes later, the sandwich was gone, of course :doh3:. Yup - under the bed with Wendall. He had torn off the baggie and was enjoying the ham. One time he got into the pantry when I was coming out and I closed the door. A few minutes later, I heard the sound of cereal or cracker boxes getting knocked over. Opened up the pantry, and there he was on the second shelf just knocking things off to try to find something worth eating. Nothing is off limits with this little love. :lovegrin: Not even our toothbrushes. He will start to chew them in the morning if we are sleeping in too late. They clank against the ceramic brush holder and make a loud noise and at the same time, he gets in his morning brushing. :teeth: :nothappy:


And this. Wendall wanting to go on the trip, hiding in my suitcase.

That is hilarious.

I went into the kitchen to cut up some carrots, and came back about 5 minutes later to this creation made out of my knitting. Pip was having a very exciting time, and Chomsky was looking on with intense curiosity, and thinking "You will be in sooo much trouble!"


There was also this incident! So much naughtiness, but so cute.

my Orrange Tabby cat Morris tried to escape out of the house

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.

That's brutal. You know you're devoted when your cat poops on you and you aren't even mad at them.

Lucy is exactly the same. She EATS the toilet paper as well. She's now permanently banned from the bathroom.

She also has learnt how to unzip my bag, lunch now has to be kept in a tupperware box because I've lost many sandwiches getting ready for work in the morning.
Once she shredded 3 months worth of uni notes in 30 seconds
The funniest one was the brownies, I was doing the dishes whilst the freshly baked brownies cooled on the side. She jumped on the counter, sniffed them, SNEEZED ON THEM, then just wondered off again
