What behavioral/funny things does your cat do?

When it comes to waking me up for food, Bud doesn't do anything so subtle as biting my nose or pawing my face. Nope. He jumps off the bed, gets to higher ground, then dive bombs onto my stomach.

Have you ever been woken up that way? It's horrible. There's this reflex action that causes you to fold up like an accordion, sitting straight up in bed violently with the shock of having an animal kamikaze onto one if your body's most sensitive spots. Worse, there's nothing apologetic about it -- after successfully waking me up in the rudest way possible, he saunters over to his bowl and meows at me like, "Get up, human, and feed me! Do you think your incredibly pleasant dream about Emilia Clarke being your girlfriend is important at all when I'm hungry? No! Food in bowl, now!"

   Eeeeew, definitely 'bad boy Sammy'!    All the more reason to get up when jumped on and used as a kittie super - highway I guess.  

   

    Is that Sammy's fluffed up squirel tail I can see in this photo?   ​If it is, what a wonderful tail, super cute cat.

Hi Plan and MServant, 

I too had a bad boy - Sammy - who didn't mind taking matters to extreme when he wanted his food.  He'd start off by jumping up on the bed and saying politely "meow", which didn't work.  And he would progressively get louder and louder with real attitude (Mee OWWW-uh!!) and then progressed to pouncing and finally zooming onto my bed and running over me as though something were after him.  I would feel nails through the sheets.  This would finally get me up.  But once he went even further than that when all else failed to get me up:  he straddled my leg and peed on the bed covers.  Bad boy Sammy!  Here he is below and that's the bed he peed on:

Sammy had a taste for plastic.  The kind that comes on new CD's or DVD's.  He knew that sound so well he could hear me tearing it off and crumpling it up in his sleep and wake up from a nap to come have a taste of it. He loved it that much.  So of course I let him chew on it while I held onto it, or otherwise he'd have choked on it.  When I used to smoke, I had to pay careful attention to make sure he never got a hold of the little clear plastic pull tab on cigarette cartons.

When I make casseroles I use the cheap dollar store disposable pans for the freezer. They have a heavy grade plastic around their edges. I let them have this under supervision of course while I'm in the kitchen.

Mine likes to paw some of her dry food into her water bowl and will try to eat it that way, but will usually end up moving it around while trying to get it and it usually just stays in the water so am changing it more. I change the water several times a day, cleaning the bowl while doing so.  I feed her moist food twice a day and it varies in the morning on how vocal she is, but usually starts almost an hour before feeding her at night she get's quite vocal like saying "feed me now".  

She likes sleeping in my mom's laundry basket on her dirty clothes.  Earlier today when I went to see her, she could have been laying her head on her dirty undies.  LOL

For the food in water problem, I'd suggest putting a good foot between the bowls. Toothless used to paw at his food as well, ending up flinging pieces into his water bowl. I moved it farther away, and he hasn't done it since.
