Cats comical behavior

Jo Jo, the fence is too high for me to reach him,he climbs up a tree,then onto the garage,then onto the fence,ahh bless him, although he crys, he will make his own way down He just sounds so heartbroken when hes crying, but it never stops him going back up lol

All of these are so funny. I especially liked the one with the kitty in the cream!!! It reminds me of the time my husband was doing some touch up painting around the house. He had the top of the paint can on the floor and of course, Jinxy got into it. Within minutes he had it on all paws and his whole face!!! It was so cute, but a real bitch to clean off of him. Thank goodness he didn't take off and get it all over the house! Won't make that mistake twice!!!

Last night I was putting some towels away in the linen closet. I only had it open for about 20 seconds before I shut the door. When I went to bed about an hour later, I could not find Jinxy anywhere!! Me and my husband looked all over for about 25 minutes before I remembered the linen closet!! As you can guess, out popped Jinxy when it was opened. I felt soooo horrible, but he seemed no worse for wear!!! Poor baby. (We played a few extra games after that last night to make up for it!)

Rascal likes to play with the feather on a stick. When I am in bed, he would come up with his toy. I start to swing at it and he would bat at it. If I throw it on the ground, he would fly off the bed and get it and climb back up with it and puts it on my chest, waiting for me to throw it again.

He likes to pounce on my toes when they are under the covers.

He knows when I am going to feed him his canned food because he is at my feet, meowing. Climbs into the tub. When I get home, even before I open the door, he's calling for me. I would be in bed, on my side and Rascal comes and snuggles his way into the covers next to me and sleeps besides me. Follows me everywhere and often races me to either the kitche, living room, or bedroom and when he is there he gives me the look of, "Ha, ha! I beat you."

OMG, Nena, I had to read that post twice, because I thought I had written it and forgot!! Honestly, everything you said, Jinxy does too!! I actually called my husband to see if he was joking with me by posting that! So weird! Jinxy loves feather on a stick and does the same thing. In fact, just this morning, I was in the shower and he came into the bathroom with feather on a stick in his mouth meowing for me to play with him!! He sleeps with me all night by my side, meows for me before I even come in the door in the evening and races into rooms before I get there, and absolutely LOVES playing with my feet under the covers, which is why I thought my husband must have written that!!!

What kind of kitty is he. Mine is a silver shaded Persian. How old is he? Mine is 7 months old. They must be soul mates!!!!

:laughing2 What great stories! :laughing2

my lil Rudy is 3 months old, but already he has claimed his territory...my computer chair! (sigh)
When I enter the dining room, there he is in my chair...oh excuse me, HIS chair. When I'm at the computer, he has to be in my lap. The second (seriously) I get up, he jumps onto the chair, and when I return to re-claim the seat, he looks up at me and Meows, as if to say "nope, Mine!" It's pretty cute, because he has a kitty bed, big soft sofa, overstuffed chair, or my bed to lounge on...but he loves my hard scratchy computer chair...go figure? :LOL:

Often, when I am sitting at my computer, Snowball will jump into my lap. If he sees TCS forums on the monitor screen, he will lean forward and start putting his paws on the keyboard like he is trying to contribute something!!!

Tess, my foster cat, is attempting to kill the purple laughing smilie in Cleo's post.

My cat tigger can Shake A Paw. It's pretty easy to teach them to do it and if taught well enough, they can learn really quickly! My cat pepper suckles on my arm and does these strange head movments. My cat Mimi sucks the corner of my eye. My cat Twinkles will not stay on the carpet and she flies from 5 feet away and comes jumping on the couch. Vader my other cat can balance on his feet for quite a while!

Tasha,

That sounds like quite the collection of personalities! That's the best part of cats.

Great stories! Yes, they all have distinct personalities. For those with cats that paw computer and/or TV screens -- if you haven't checked out the "Cat Sitter" video you should try it! It's a collection of rodents, birds, etc. and sounds - one of my cats will either run and paw the screen, or if I throw a pillow on the floor in front of the TV he'll go sit on it and stare at the screen. It's good for when you leave the house - also I play it for him when I need to calm him down, like after giving him meds or taking him to the vet, when I've had quite a struggle restraining him. He'll run and hide from me for a few minutes, but if I put the tape on, it lures him out and he settles down.

Jacquie- Rascal is a 2 1/2 year old orange domestic shorthair. He is quite a character. I put up the Christmas decorations and he was playing with the jingle bell I hung on my doornob. Rascal's favorite place to rest is on my chest. Whether I am lying in bed or sitting on the couch watching tv. He will lie down on my chest and but his head on my shoulder.

That's cute!! I had an orange tabby named Stanley who passed away. He was the most awesome cat!! I was crazy about him!

That's one thing Jinxy does not do with me - rest on my chest, that is. Most probably it is because I am way too small and he would not be comfortable. He used to do it when he was smaller and still will do it with my husband. I have this cute furry toy that makes a funny noise that we hang on one of our doorknobs, and he goes crazy with it!!

My biggest dilemma with him (which isn't even a dilemma) is that he gets really bored with his toys quickly! He has tons, believe me, but only plays with a couple!! I'm guessing its the same like with children who get bored with their toys. I want to keep him occupied when I am gone during the day though so I wish he'd play with them instead of my house looking like a kitty amusement park for no reason!!!

Rascal loves applesauce! The other day, I was eating a bowl and he almost devoured it!

Jacquie -

Sounds like you should get Jinxy . . . another cat! :laughing:

hint hint wink wink nudge nudge

I know there are reasons not to. Teasing.

sunlion, I was thinking the same thing! :laughing2

I walked into my kitchen this morning and my refrigerator door was standing open. I looked around at my furbabies and all were looking SO innocent. I said "Ok, who is going get skinned and made into slippers for this?" George aka GEORGEDAMMITGETDOWN, sat right up and let out a huge MEEOOWW, right on cue. It was too cute! I now have my door secured.

I went into the living room after a few hours of internet to find my box of powder sugar donuts torn open. Donuts and "snow" were strewn about on my carpet and coffee table. One donut (these are regular size, mind, not the bitsy ones) had the top half eaten off, and bites taken from some of the others. What kind of cat eats half a donut???? They all looked very proud of themselves for making such a mess, too. They were thoroughly entertained watching me clean up.

Evidence that I have no life whatsoever:
I was dying of curiosity about who actually ate the donuts, so I set a trap. I put a few intact donuts in a plastic bag and placed it on the coffee table, then pretended to watch TV. Alex ignored the bag completely. Nellie and Prince sniffed, then ignored it. Grey went psycho on it and tore a hole in it before I could wrrestle it away from him. Busted!

If it weren't for the indifference of the other 3, I'd wonder if that was really powdered sugar....

That last post really cracked me up!!!

You are right, I have thought about the possibility of another kitty. Jinxy would probably love it and me and my husband have often joked about how insane it would be to have two of him!!! I am sure we would hear the running around the house in our bedroom at night all night long!!!

After our last cat died, we had thought that it would have probably been a little less painful had we had another one. Having no animal in the house after Norty died was absolutely unbarable.

Anyway, I'm not sure if my house can live through it, but it is being considered. Jinxy would love it!!
