Does your cat have a talent?

mrsfishy · Oct 17, 2005

Mine does....although it's quite annoying!

She can open doors! We have the louvered type door handles...the kind that you turn downward to open. Well, Molly HATES being locked out of any room in the house and quickly learned as a kitten that if she jumps up, wraps both arms around the handle, her weight will be enough to pull the handle down enough to release the latch and pop the door open! It was very cute in the beginning but is quite embarrassing at times...like when guests for dinner are using the bathroom!

Ophelia's talent is to be able to make you fall asleep whenever she wants you to take a nap with her.

We call it her Kitten Magick. If you're laying down (or sitting very comfortably) and she wants to snuggle and nap, that's it. You're going to sleep with her, whether you want to or not! It is very nice, though, on those nights when I just can't get to sleep...

Emmet can open any door too.....

but his real talent is super spooky

If I say "Emmet find mabby".....he will run to where mabby is a meow like crazy till i go over to him and look at her......(He'll also find Doofus and Poppy too)...very creepy, but very cool.....

Doofus has the talent of knocking everything in his path over...no matter where it is or what it is.....

Yup, Cairo can catch flies in her front paws and imitate birds.

And I have seen both these things happen otherwise I would never have believed it myself!! She is amazing...

And Sashka can climb like nothing I've ever seen. She is a supercat!

Madden can FLY!!! LOL I haven't seen him do it yet, but I know he can. For such a little kitten he can get to the highest places!!!

Oliver does the exact same thing. He's also fond of sitting on my alarm clock to turn the radio on if he wants me to wake up and pay attention to him! He's also a world-class snorer.
Emma can jump about a million feet in the air, and likes to tap me with her paw when she needs attention. She's also very, very good at covering her business in the litterbox..she will scratch in there for about 5 minutes straight after a bathroom break.

Wow how on earth does she imitate birds??

My kitties have a talent for looking really cute hehehe...

Does my cat have a talent? Yes. Stupidity!

She can imitate a ringing telephone, and she can race around the apartment at break-neck speed! (without breaking her neck). Oh yes and something else I've just discovered - she can flush the toilet. We have a button on the top of the toilet as opposed to a handle (so no opposable thumbs needed my friends) and she comes and stands on it until it flushes. She tends to go in there and flush it (for a second time) after Rune has just been in the bathroom. I think she's trying to tell him something!

These are all realy cute answers.

I once knew a kitty that could open cupboards. It was funny!

Apparently, he could open doors too, but I never saw that. Chasey hasn't shown any special talents yet.

Who knows but it's amazing!!! One day we heard the strangest noise coming from under the table in the kitchen, and it was Cairo doing the birdcall of a butcher bird that was outside the window - I swear it was exactly the same and I don't blame anyone if they don't believe me - I wouldn't have either unless I'd seen her do it myself!!

stampit3d · Oct 18, 2005

Toby can open doors too....no "fancy" ones tho...just regular round knobs.
Both he and Tedy "help" me clean house...everything from sweeping floors (broom only...they don`t like the sweeper!) to making the beds, cleaning the bathroom and folding laundry.....Now if I could only teach them to cook and do the dishes!

Wow she must be a cat who's very aware of her surroundings. That simply IS amazing!

My Max who passed in July had many talents. He could open louvered doors. He opened the cabinet under the kitchen sink and wandered around there. When I complained to the lady who gave him to me she told me to feed him he was hungry. Sometimes they would both leave and forget to feed Max. The catfood box was under their kitchen sink and he would get under there, knock over the box and feed himself. So she told me he was looking for food when he was under the sink. He opened drawers in the bathroom and took out things. He would growl like and dog and when he did we knew to get out of the way because then he would run at breakneck speed all over the house and not slow down for anything. He would always jump into the bathtub as part of this routine. He did it once when I had about four inches of soapy water washing out undies. He jumped in and out with eyes big as saucers and really ran then. The soap bubbles were flying everywhere. I think the neatest thing he did was when I was having a fitness thing going. I walked on the treadmill every morning. Max would sit there and watch. Finally he started getting on the treadmill in front of me and walking with me. He would do it until he got tired then he would just jump off. We have a video of him doing this.

We had a small bathroom with a shower one step up. Max took showers with me when he wanted to. That is just a few of the things he did. I don't think he ever knew he was a cat. He was just unique. I have never had or seen a cat who I thought came close to being able to do things that he did. That is why I miss him so much now. He was a sweetheart.

Pixie is my very own little cat burglar (sp?). She's stolen $20 bills, candles, candy, she even tried to steal my bra once but it kept tripping her up so she gave up

She's into everything, on everything...

Pepper use to be able to open cupboard doors in our old apartment. We'd miss her gone, and we'd find her under the sink or in her food cupboard...just hangin' out

my cat tigger could open doors too when we had the handle ones.

But his real talent is giving me his paw! When i say paw he passes it to me and then i give him a treat!
He has learnt that at the age of 14

Well, from the picture, I'd say he has also the talent of looking very cute and snuggly!

snowleop · Oct 18, 2005

I know you must miss Max. He sounds like an amazing cat.
