Things cats are really, really good at.

I thought it would be fun to start a thread where we could list all of the things cats are great at. I'll go first...

Cats are really, really good at giving you the "are you crazy, what the heck is wrong with you?" look.

Cats are also really good at keeping your suitcase weighed down while you're packing it so that it just doesn't float off or something.

Our kitties are the best help ever when attempting to sweep the floor. Serenity is the world's pro at keeping her Mommy awake all hours of the night.

Hmmm, my kitties are great at keeping mommie's hands warm while she's using the keyboard and mouse, by sitting or lying on them!

She doesn't want you to miss out on any of the fun!!!

Oh, and cats are really good at staying underfoot while you're walking to make sure you don't walk too fast and hurt yourself if you fall.

Cats are excellent alarm clocks.

First, they start with the quiet stare from across the bed, then if that doesn't wake you they'll progress to the purr in the ear and the head-bump. For the more stubborn human, the bladder-stomp is the tactic guaranteed to get Mom out of bed.

Making us give into their every needs no matter what time it is or what your doing!

Cats are great at immitating hot water bottles.
They're also great at extermination of dust bunnies.

Cats are very good at filling all available space.

One small cat can fill a whole stair, so you have to take a huge step to get over them. One small cat can take up half a bed, so you sleep hanging on to the edge of the mattress. One small cat can fill an entire large arm chair.

And then, that same small cat can fit into the smallest space imaginable, and hide, especially when they are needed for something.

I think that cats are shape shifters.

They are excellent at getting on your nerves.

That's so true!

Especially about taking up half (or all) of a bed.

Cats are very good at protecting us from "dangerous" rolls of toilet paper and paper towels, too. A cat can shred a roll in 1 minute flat

cats are awesome clocks:
6:15 am--time for brekkie!!
7:15 pm--time for din din!!!

they are also very eccentric decorators--unused toys must be strewn "just so" all over the floor!

They make excellent water tasters (whenever I take baths, they MUST drink the water- don't ask why! )

They make excellent watchdogs!

They are good at tracking litter EVERYWHERE!!

my little darlings are great at paper shredding, no need to buy those expensive paper shredders in this house hold!

Rufus is very good at holding down the computer desk and protecting me from that pesky puter mouse that keeps attacking my hand.

Mithril is very good at "helping" Mommy make the bed. He's so into it, that as soon as he hears "bed-making" noises he comes running : .

They also do an excellent job as the OP said of holding things down so that they don't float away.

My cats are great at sitting on the closed toilet lid, but only when they know that one of us humans needs to use the john.

They're also excellent at just *having* to run down the stairs as you are --- excellent at doing that figure-8-trip-the-human thing as they run the stairs!

Cats are also excellent at helping you to NOT make your bed. My cats wake me up to be fed, then as I'm getting ready, some of them will snuggle into the unmade bed and make me feel real guilty if I wanna make my bed... so I don't...

Cats are great at opening doors. From the way Hammie hooks his paw and opens up the closet doors in the middle of the night (freaking me out in the process) to how Zorro hammers his front paws against the bathroom door to get in there with me.

Cats are great at giving the "you know I love you and you MUST pet me right now" look. Forget stopping to smell the flowers; stop to pet the cats! Makes your day better!!!
