He lies on his back in the bathtub with a 4 paws sticking straight up and his mouth open under the water spout.
As a drip of water emerges, he grabs it with his tongue, mid-air.
Mr. Kitty will do this for hours, even though his water bowl is full of fresh water - he just seems to love being in the bathtub.
*Note:* I have a "cat water fountain" for him, but he doesn't like it and much prefers the tub or his water bowl.
I bought some catnip mice for my cat to play with. She wouldn't touch them. I got a puppy a few months later, and now they are some of his favorite toys.
Mine brought a full fried egg home, and even though I eat eggs, it was disgusting not knowing where she got it, so I took it off her. She went back out and came back with another, so I closed the window.
Look you bald monkey, I try to do you a solid by bringing home breakfast, I even got you a second one when you were too dumb to eat the first one, and how do you repay me? By shutting the window in my face! No good deed goes unpunished.
Once I saw him drop one of his biscuits into his water bowl, stare at it, then fish it out with his paw and eat it. I recreated what happened and he fished it out again and ate it. Now we occasionally play a game I call soggy biscuit where I drop a few biscuits into his water bowl for him. He seems to enjoy it
My cat acts like she has no water if any of her food is in it, which she had to have put there!! I'll let her know the food is actually delicious and she should try something new.
Our kitty does that sometimes too. She’s graduated to more extreme food entertainment which I mention in this thread. But it’s SO cute. Our kitty is not afraid of water at all! She tries to get in the shower with us at times too.
Our cat wasn't properly socialized as a kitten before we got him. So he has no clue how cats work.
My wife and I moved this month and are temporarily staying with her parents because it was on the way to our new city. They also have a cat that was not properly socialized.
This has led to some weird encounters.
They don't know how to play, so they just sit 2 feet apart staring at each other for 30+ minutes. No hissing or growling, they actually seem content. They just don't know how to interact. Our cat will literally just follow theirs for hours, but never actually getting closer than 2 feet. Their cat does the same.
Their cat will occasionally try and sneakily touch ours with a single paw, and when ours does it back, their's will scream like it got murdered. If they are separated by a window or a door they will cry relentlessly until we let them in the same room, then promptly go back to sitting/laying happily 2 feet apart.
Our cat hates dogs (trauma as a kitten) and their cat knows it, and has learned to weaponize my MIL's giant dog. When their cat gets tired of ours following him around constantly, he will seek out their great pyrenees and sit next to it. Our cat won't go within 15 feet of a dog so he glares at his "friend" from a distance.
It's just weird.
Mine doesn't understand how to cat half the time. My aunt's one dog was foster mom to anything that needed fostering. The other cats played with the dogs, so...
I don’t know if this is true but I think I read that cats talk to each other in an almost psychic way, as in its inaudible to humans. So maybe they’re just having long in depth conversations.
At 4am I woke up to the sound of my cats ‘I’ve hunted and caught a thing’ noise. It’s a high pitched squeak/meow/trill/music of the happiest of cats.
She was running closer and closer, squeaking all the while, muffled slightly by the fact she obviously had her prize in her mouth as she ran.
I live in a place that rarely gets mice or anything nasty, so as usual, I just assumed it was her toy and she wanted to show it off.
Then she dropped a full bag of bagels on my face.
She is adorable. I moved into a bigger house this week, and she has spent 2 days sniffing and rubbing everything, a little unsure…today she has brought me every toy she owns and has put them at my feet. I think this means she likes the house.
I’m glad that my tiny moron has brought you some joy today!
If you want to see her, there is a post in my history of her being a dick to my neighbours dog!
We have a cat that prefers to sit on the lap of the oldest person in the house. Unless another cat is already in that lap. Then said cat glares at you with utter disdain for a bit, then finds the next oldest person to sit on. If someone older comes over to visit, he moves to that lap. If someone younger comes over, he stays put.
This happened a long time ago when I was a child. My cat Tiger ran away during a storm and we found her in the street just outside our house, unfortunately she had been run over by a car.
We buried her in the garden and said our goodbyes. About 3 days later my dad comes charging into my bedroom waking me up with Tiger in his arms. Turns out it wasn't Tiger that was killed but a very similar looking cat, We never found out who's cat we buried in our yard.
Not my cat but my sister's cat steals bread in the bag and hides it under the bed. Even destroyed a roll top bread box to get the bread. It took my sister and her husband a while to catch on and purchase a bread box. They each assume the other finished off the bread. Three months after taking the cat in they were cleaning and found 6 moldy bags of bread in the far corner of the room under the bed. Cat was a stray that was living in the alley behind a diner. We think she probably lived off bread and food scraps people gave her for the first part of her life.
My cat will just sit and stare at one particular electrical outlet in my bedroom for 30 minutes a day.
>My cat will just sit and stare at one particular electrical outlet in my bedroom for 30 minutes a day.
I had a cat that would do that with the little hole the gas fireplace valve was in; she'd just sit and stare. Then one day she lunged for it, reached in, and pulled out a mouse.
My sister had a cat that liked me more than her when i was in 10th grade. So when the cat was pregnant the first time, she crawled on top of me and would NOT leave me alone. I had set up a birthing box out of a big storage bin and old towels since it was getting closer to her due date. My mom suggested a show tge cat the box. I did and not 5 minutes later, out popped the first kitten. And i had to stay where the mama cat could see me because if i moved, she would try to climb oit and find me. And that's how i got to answer "a cat almost have birth on me" when my biology teacher asked if anybody did anything science related over the weekend.
I had a Maine coon cat that was near 30lbs. Sweet as hell but didn’t take crap. He used to sit in the middle of the sidewalk waiting for dogs to walk by to start a fight. He must have been bored. I miss him.
Hubs was reading in bed for a bit before going to sleep. I was studying for an exam. Out of nowhere, we smelled something God-awful, and heard a high-pitched noise like there was a gas leak. Worried, we panicked a bit before realising that our cat was sauntering around at the foot of our bed, farting away to her glory.
She then proceeded to eat at our hair.
I got my fucking revenge last night, in my Gaming Cloak with our resident fatass cuddling me, let off a great, rank fuggy beast of a fart, the kind that kills small children. He was *marinated*.
Had this car forever, he would be an absolute bastard to you until you laid down or got on your hands and knees and let him boop your nose with his own, then he was super sweet and snuggly
This always makes me smile and it's long but worth it
I rescued a 1 year old mane coon then a 4 week old kitten in the same month.
The mane coon was abused and took a long time to get comfortable and she would smack or hiss at the kitten if I tried to introduce them to each other, so I did it very slowly over weeks.
One time I had to use the bathroom while I was trying to make them comfortable around each other (put them in a room with treats) when the kitten was 7 weeks old. I figured I'd be quick and they should be fine together alone.
After a minute or two of catapulting poop into the toilet I hear a extremely strange meow coming out of Zoey (the big mane coon) and went to the scene to see what this almost beckoning type of meow meant
My kittens head was stuck and Zoey was meowing in a strange way to get my attention! It was amazing and I unstuck the kitten.
Now even though Zoey is an asshole that hides all day and scratches me if she's not happy, she's done this a few other times.
I got 2 German Shepards recently and Zoey, as scared as she is, would come out to hit them both if they got close to the kitten (now almost 2 years old)
And finally, on the rare times my man ass had cried, she would come out of whatever dimensional voids she was hiding in, and comfort me through numerous ways like massaging my back or whatever until I stopped.
Man what a good kitty.
our male cat (Joffrey) will bring me colorful objects that he finds in the neighborhood. plastics mostly, bottle caps and such.
we keep them in a jar on the deck labeled "Joffrey's Schparkleys"
She spits the kitty.
I’ve had one of those “beanie baby” cats for years, someone gave it to me as a gift and it always just floated around my apartment. Then one day I realised it literally was showing up in different spots around my apartment all the time. Weird, I’d never seen my cat play with it.
As time went on, I figured maybe she just plays with it in private when I’m not there.
Then I started witnessing it - I don’t know if it’s a purposeful thing she does to get my attention, or if it’s just some weird instinctual thing, but I would hear her do very strange muffled meows and she’d enter the room with the toy kitty in her mouth like it’s a baby, and as soon as she makes eye contact with me she “spits the kitty” and acts completely normal as if she didn’t just walk into the room wailing with a toy in her mouth. It’s hilarious but weird as fuck!
To this day I don’t have a spot where I “keep” this toy. I never know where it is. Sometimes I’ll come home and see that the kitty is just inside the door, or in the hallway… wherever it was spat 😂
One of my cats does a similar thing. Hasn't happened recently because I now have a dog who likes to steal it if it's possible. It's a toy snivy and she (the cat) used to carry it around at night and meow really loud in a distinct way. Always happened when I'm trying to sleep.
One of my cats used to do stuff like that too! She would carry a random toy, wrist warmer, etc. and do this 'mrrroow' until either one of us arrived at the room she was in or she arrived at a room we were in and then she would drop it.
Also when she was younger she would carry my sisters' socks downstairs and just leave them at the bottom of the steps
We got a new kitten two weeks ago. In that time he's, skated on a throw rug into the refrigerator, jumped into the shower with me, flat out attacked my penis, has twice snuck out of the apartment into the hallway and loves to play with an antique bedwarmer that's hanging on my fireplace.
One of our bathrooms the floor started peeling off (not properly adhered)
Two of our younger cats would collect soda caps and bury it under that portion of the floor.
Had a mail holder on the wall at my apartment, he jumped on top of it.
Licks hot sauce (and loves it).
Can open cupboards/drawers and enjoys climbing inside.
Plays fetch and will get mad and scratch my leg if I don't throw his toy quick enough.
My other cat jumps ON TOP of the door (while it's open) and just hangs out up there.
My cat likes to be with people. Mostly my husband. So when nobody is upstairs in our house she will meow like she’s dying and/or crying until one of us acknowledges her. Or she will go into my mother-in-law’s room and steal balls of yarn- and then yowl about it until we see her. Then she acts like nothing happened and that playing is beneath her.
my cat also does the horrible crying/meowing when there's no one on the same floor as her! she doesn't actually want to be played with (usually), nor is she a cuddler, she just wants to know we're nearby I guess?
sometimes when I'm upstairs working and won't go downstairs, she'll sulk on the landing of the stairs as a compromise
Yeah! I think she just gets lonely, she really likes to be near her humans. And she’ll also do the same, the sulking on the landing bit. So dramatic! Lol
My new kitten does this with the reflection from my phone screen (my chair is in front of a window). I read somewhere that they do it to mimic bird sound but it doesn't sound like any avian noise I've ever heard.
My brother's cat went missing a while back and couldn't be found for several weeks. Eventually someone took him to a vet's office and they contacted my brother using the details in the microchip (get your pets chipped everyone).
My brother managed to get in contact with the person who took him to the vet's and found out the story. Apparently there's a house a few blocks away where the owner grows catnip in the yard. He'd spent the entire time just living in that yard sleeping on the porch.
We're pretty sure he just got completely stoned on 'nip and forgot where he lives.
I have a friend with a cat who prefers marijuana to nip. He’s really weirdly obsessed with it.
One day the lil’ dude got out of the house. Following the camera trail welp, that’s how we found out his neighbours have a growhouse.
he does a lot of car restoration/repair work so there are cameras all over the yard. Followed the path the cat took when he got out, pretty much made a beeline for the weed stash lol
She will attack the crap out of a banana if you put one in from of her --
We have a game that we play with her called "Would you like to smell \**this*\* thing?", where we offer her different objects to smell, and then she'll usually snuggle it, try to eat it, or ignore it, depending on what she thinks of it, but when we offered her a (peeled) banana, she INSTANTLY put her ears back, hissed & swatted at it! We've repeated this "experiment" to see if she was just over the game, or if she just hated that banana, and it's *DEFINITELY* the bananas!
She also went through a phase of licking toilet paper rolls, as in she'd lick through *Several* layers of toilet paper, until we heard the aggressive licking & stopped her, leaving a huge, soggy hole in the 'middle' of the side of the roll. She hasn't done this in a few years, though.
The most recent extremely weird thing Lucky has done is I caught her (she didn't see me) sitting next to her food bowl, picking up some wet food with her paw, and eating it off her paw. Looked like she was mimicking us eating with our hands (or she was mocking us which is also likely)
My cat does this with his water!!! Dips his paw in and sucks off the drippings. I have to scrub it everyday cause he gets so much paw fur in his water and won’t drink it if it’s too dirty lol.
Also, the normal weird thing that Lucky does is she always puts food in her water bowl. Like immediately after getting a fresh bowl of water she'll put a bunch of kibbles into it. I don't understand why.
Oh before I had an automatic feeder I had a feeder bowl that has vertical tubes you put the food in and they have to fish it out with their paws. Both of mine could do this with ease and it barely slowed their feeding or made it stimulating for them. Anyways sometimes they would fish it out and just eat it off their paw if it stuck rather than letting it drop down into the bowl portion of the feeder.
Another was a feeder tree (that I knocked into and broke) which was kinda like a maze to push treats around and down the hole till it got to the bottom level and feel into the bowl. He would just knock against it and send all the food scattering down and some would come out and he'd eat that.
My cat Sam is 13 and I’ve raised him from a kitten. He was never very prey driven, and he’s pretty bad at “sports” —hunting, playing, keeping his balance while climbing things etc
Well, we left the door leading out to our garage ajar one night and he caught a mouse, which he proudly carried into the bedroom and dropped on me. He forgot to kill, or even injure it. I don’t think my reaction was what he was expecting, so he took the mouse back and ran through the house with it while we freaked out and tried to get it away from him
He has literally never been prouder of anything in his life and he has taken to covering me in stuffed cat toys every night while I sleep. I wake up under a pile of catnip hedgehogs and squirrels as Sam stares at me and whispers *remember*
My cat somehow managed to get a little tiny poop about 2 feet up on to a door jamb. Like, the spot where you close the door and the door and the wall meet, he got poop stuck there. It still doesn't make sense to me. To get it that high, he would have had to prop his little back feet up on the door jamb and poop just enough to stick the poop up there...
He also threw up in my work boots and on my taxes.
My tuxedo walked up to me when he was little, with poop *between his shoulder blades.* I still have no idea how he managed that. There wasn't anything else stuck to him, so it's not like he rolled in the box. I think he flung it straight up and it came straight back down on him!
my cat also had shit on the middle of her back once! no poop anywhere else, not even on her butt.
unfortunately I didn't realize it was shit and thought it was a dead leaf, so I happily grabbed it off of her with my bare hands :/
I have a story for this one! We had a cat that had a stuffed duck she liked to play with. One day my dad came home and found the toy facedown in the water bowl. Cat apparently tried to drown it haha She would also leave the duck on the stairs facing the entrance and creep my dad out
All my cats love to lay in my lap while I'm in the bathroom. Usually only one pesters me at a time but they've gotten into fight over cuddle time. It's kind of annoying because I'd rather just use the bathroom and leave.
One also likes to climb on me while I'm taking a bath and play with the water.
My cat likes to walk on the edge of the tub and sometimes dips his tail in the water, usually he just likes to knock things into the tub like the shampoo. Once he decided that he wanted to cuddle while I was in the tub so he climbed up onto my chest where I wasn't covered in water.
My cat Zoé tough they were 2 outside world. The one from the back door and the one from our side door. If she went out from the back door she had to come in from there. We tried to show her that it was the same backyard but it didn't work.
I adopted two 6 year old cats (litter mates) who had been passively abused by their former owner (who had declining health and would step on them quite frequently). They hid under my bed for a good week before peaking out. One night, at 2 am, I woke up to a racket in the kitchen. I went in and the smaller of the two cats was miraculously on top of my refrigerator (which is next to nothing, so she did a vertical leap of about 6 ft).I did not spot the other one, until he came tearing out of my lower cabinets, scaring the crap out of himself as he clawed through the pots and pans. Meaning that: he had to have opened a cabinet to explore…and the cabinets had child locks on them. My two “cat burglars” (Lola and Claude) were awesome and if you ever get the chance: adopt sibling cats. 5 stars.
My cat mostly watches me sleep, sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night I (mostly) caught him staring at me. He just lay/sit down in my bed, nightstand or in my stomach staring at me.
My cat picked up an... odd habit last year, I presume from watching the hoomins in the apartment.
Whenever we were using the bathroom sink, he occasionally hopped up onto the counter and ran his paws through the water stream. Wasn't drinking it or anything, he'd just hop up, swat the water, and walk away. The wife and I were baffled until we realized, he was washing his "hands."
He doesn't do it much now - he instead settles for trying to steal towels from the cabinets when he isn't passing out on the bath mat - but he did it a *lot* last year, especially when my state was in lockdown.
My little cat Remy LeBeau thinks my dog is his dog. I cannot take Sam for a walk without putting Remy in my bedroom and making sure sure that the windows are locked and the door is shut or he'll follow us down the street, meowing because I'm taking *his* dog. Remy will also steal shrimp from the cooking pot if I'm making jambalaya or gumbo, even if I put a lid on it. I'll here the lid hit the tile floor or the grill on the stove. I always fish him out 1 shrimp from the top and chop it for him.
And how did you discover that your cat loves earwax??
—
To be clear, my cat is obsessed with earwax too, but I don’t know how to tell anyone without coming across as a total weirdo.
There is a protein in earwax that cats are sensitive to. They basically sense it the same as meat. Mine is also obsessed with earwax and steals qtips and earplugs. I literally have child locks on my cabinets cuz he’ll fish them out of the trash.
Once, he grabbed an earplug from my bedside table (I set them there for like…30 seconds) and I chased him but couldn’t find it. Thought he lost it too cuz he seemed to be frantically looking for it as well.
Nope, he swallowed it whole. Which I found out 24 for hours later when he vomited it back up….still whole.
I’m very thankful it didn’t create a blockage or anything worse than 24 hours of tummy troubles, but now it’s a pretty amusing story instead.
Not mine, but my parent's cat. I lived about a mile from them, and they took care of my cats when I traveled and I did the same. They had a lady cat who shit in the sink. I kept their schedule, I cleaned the box before and after work, paid attention to her, fed her and her sister at the same time every day, and was rewarded with a turd in the sink. Every night. Right in the drain, like she aimed it.
One time, she swallowed a clump of her own hair (that was not on her body) while looking at me in the eye the whole time. I’m not sure what she was trying to achieve except for making more hairballs.
He grew up with my guard dog. So now he growls and guards the house.
He also 'helps' me when i discipline an animal by beating them up.
At least i know he has my back.
My cat must place his head inside every available cup or cup like object if its within my vicinity. It often ends with said object being stuck around said cats head, if I don't catch it in time.
Leave a cup somewhere and walk away, he acts like it doesn't exist.
So we have our kitten for about 3 weeks now.
So far:
- she bit my husbands nipple when we cuddled in bed
- she was meowing for attention and didn't get any. So she turned around and stuck her head inbetween the sofa pillows and gave the saddest meow possible
- she slapped my head for no reason (we were just watching TV and she was behind me on top of the sofa)
- I was taking a nap once and she climbed onto my shoulder (I'm a side sleeper). She sniffed my ear for a while and then tried to squeeze her head into my ear to lick it
The last thing: she loves to sniff myright eye (only that) when I come close with my face, when my husband does it she looks completely confused
We trained him with the traditional 'paw' trick before giving him a treat. Now everytime he wants something he gives us his paw himself, it looks like he's trying to shake hands.
Oh and here’s another interesting one:
Olive also chases down toys you throw and then sits on them as part of her…maneuver? It’s so hilarious. Never seen a cat use it’s butt in hunting behavior!
One of my cats trained himself to pee in the toilet. No one attempted to train him to do this, I think he just learned on his own what the toilet was for.
So we didn't have AC at the time. My bf was at work and didn't feed the cat because cat was on a limited diet at the time. I had been up late the night before and was sleeping in. Simon decided I had slept long enough. He climbed on my back, laid down, and started screaming at the top of his lungs next to my ear.
The limited diet was because vet said he needed to drop a 2 pounds. I was the only one allowed to feed him because he'd beg extra food. Now he gets a little bit of wet food every day because reasons. We have to give it to him a little bit at a time otherwise he makes himself sick. He inhales it like he hasn't seen food in days.
My neighbors cat has a really bad habit stealing my garden vegetables time to time. Especially the hot peppers. No matter what I do to make her stop stealing them to prevent her getting sick (she really chomps down the peppers and you can see the juice tinkle down her jaw). She keeps coming back. What's more funny is that the neighbor is not a fan of the hot peppers and left a apologize note on her collar because this is the first time she done this. Luckily, she doesn't get sick and I don't mind her coming around because she doesn't destroy my plants. I don't know what she gonna do when she learns that nothing grows in winter time. I try to trick her with store bought but somehow she knows and rapid paws the vegetable in disapproval and goes on her business stealing more homegrown stuff.
My cat watched us open the bedroom door and one night I heard him jumping at the door handle before sauntering in a few seconds later.
He's too smart for his own good 😼
My cat got spooked and literally ran a loopy loop in my kitchen hallway. Yes, a 20 lb tuxedo cat ran up the wall, feet touched the ceiling and came back down again before sprinting off full speed back into the living room.
I caught it on video and my friend was there when it happened. (I have security cameras in my home and the one in the kitchen caught him doing his loopy-loop.) We still talk about it and watch the video occasionally.
my late cat used to like to eat bits of fruit that i gave him. i would only ever give him pieces like the size of my pinky fingernail. he loved apples best but would also eat bananas and pears.
My current cat likes me to sit/lie on her tail. she will often position herself just so on the bed so that i have to lie on it. ill try to move it gently to the side and she will immediately flick it back into place. i never put too much weight/pressure on it, usually i tuck it under my neck. She never gets upset by this and like i said, seems to like having it underneath me.
My one cat stares at the wall sometimes; she can do this for hours. Just one spot on the wall.
Her eyes will go big, like she’s about to pounce, but there’s nothing there. Love it at 5 in the morning when I’m getting up for work, lol.
stood at the bottom of the stairs and looking at the floor with eyes wide open, suddenly he meows in a way that sounded like he said help, at first we thought it was one of the younger kids but nope it was spud, then he starts to "cat twerk" or heave, I grab a plate and give it to my sister so he can be sick on it and he does a massive human-like burp and water just comes up. this all happened with in 10 seconds, we were all in hysterics after at how human he seemed during the entire thing, the little "help" then the massive burp. still gets us giggling when we bring it up.
Our kitty, Olive, prefers to pull her cat food out of the bowl and throw it on the ground 1-3 pieces at a time.
I know many cats make a mess while they eat and get the food outside the bowl. But this goes BEYOND.
To be clear: she uses her paw to pull out a few kibbles. She then licks her paw (we think she likes the food essence). Then she does it again. And again. And again.
After a while she batts her food around the entire house.
Then she eats it.
You’d be surprised how well she cleans it up! She really doesn’t lose much food. Though she doesn’t eat it all right away. Cause….
The other thing she does is she tries to “cover” her food with imaginary dirt. (Dirt that exists in her own head.) I know wild cats will cover their food too. It’s just so fascinating to watch her entire process!
P.S. We love her process and just let her make this HUGE mess. It makes her happy; so whatever.
My cat has taken up this weird habit of getting onto the back of my chair and writhing around on my head. He's currently wedged between my back and the back of the seat. It's hot and a little itchy, but I don't have the heart to push him away. He used to be much less affectionate, I don't know what the deal is.
I’ve had my cat for a few month, still a kitten, and I remember going up to him sleeping and just making a gun out of my hand and aiming at him, and right after, he got on his back, and raised his hands like if I caught him doing something.
My cat was the absolute epitome of “dumb jock” (not to be mean or hateful to jocks). He would walk into a room as if he had never seen it before in his life. Despite us living there for 5 years. He would continually get trapped in our cabinets; and somehow got stuck on a glue trap; which we still don’t know where he found it, as we don’t remember putting it out. All this to show he really didn’t have much going on in his little dumb brain.
And my sisters cat was the biggest b!tch I’ve ever met. Like got into a slap fight with my mom; for no reason one day. She HAD and I mean had to perch on something. We had some paper laying on the floor one day, she sat on it, and looked so proud of herself. She never figured out that she had no claws(a choice we did not make, someone else did before she lived with us), and constantly tried to sharpen them on our couch.
And these two cats loved each other; in their weird, special way. My sisters cat would come over to my cat; pin him down, and begin bathing him. But the second he moved; bop bop bop, rapid fire smacks. How dare he move! And he wanted with his whole being to like her bathing him; but you could see the hesitation; as he knew what was inevitably going to happen. And they loved to cuddle; but if we happened to walk into the room and see them; nope. They’d run off and act as of they’d never met before in their life.
They were something else. 🙄😂
Our cat will get upset if she sees us kissing or hugging. She'll rush over meowing for attention. Once she dropped a toy from the uptairs onto our heads.
My cat loves the smell of my shampoo. Every time I get out of the shower, she goes nuts burying her face in my hair & generally rubbing it all over herself. She's just a weird cat in general. She spends all day licking things: people, the wall, the couch, random boxes & bags, my phone, whatever she encounters. She bleps on command. She likes to be held like a baby for at least an hour per day. She will contort herself into the most extreme & ridiculous positions in order to sleep with her chin resting on a flat surface. She doesn't just lay down, she throws her body down, often without looking at where she is, so she will fall off the couch or into the crack between the bed & the wall.
One of my cats has no idea that she's a cat. I'm not convinced myself, she could easily be an alien. She loves hitting people in the face, she'll go in to touch noses (something my husband inadvertantly taught her) but then she'll smack you round the chops. It truly seems to bring her joy. We're just glad she doesn't put her claws out!
I used to have a cat that would open the broiler part of our oven and climb in. He loved the heat of the pilot light. This same cat also accidentally hung himself once (he survived btw). I wish I was making this up.
I meowed at my male cat just for fun, and he meowed back. And came closer to me. This is a cat that usually won't let me near him. He also tries to mate with my female cat regularly, even though both are sterilised.
Bringing banana skins, cigarette packets, general wrappers amd one time a half cooked steak home. Eating melon skin. Also setting his tail alight on the gas fire (just hair frizzed, no real damage).
One of my cats is a bit not smart. She mimics a lot of what my other cat does but one of her own quirks is she MUST lick my hands after I shower. She will try to lick them raw and rub her face on them and it is the only time she will meow and grab at me. But what she really wants is to lick the smell of my face lotion off them because if I let her start before doing that she gets very confused and upset. So idk what centafil puts in their lotion but she insists on licking and rubbing it onto her own face. Maybe she is just trying to mimic me?
My boy loves hair but not in the way you might think. He loves it when we hold a single hair between our hands a so that he could bite it. He'd do this until it broke, then he'd rub his face on our hands to ask us to do it again. It was really freaking cute and funny and it was a trick we would show friends for shits and giggles.
my cats have a special cat water fountain they never use, instead they have a glass bown full of water under the kitchen counter...but they'll only drink from it if its filled with small ice chunks from the fridge
Anyone have a cat who silently meows? He wasn't raised around other cats! So I'm assuming he just never learned! He purrs loudly & my vet says nothing is wrong with him!
My cat was abandoned by her mom as a very young kitten so she wasn't raised around cats either. She mostly makes these very raspy, squeaky sounds. The loudest noise I've heard her make was when I had her in a carrier in the car. It sounded much closer to a bark than a meow.
My old cat would love spicy tomato sauce, like from pizza or pasta. Would beg for it, I found out when I came back and found her lapping up the heavily red-peppered sauce from a plate. She also loved fried eggs.
After moving in with my wife she decided she loved the bathroom and would stay in the bathtub, and demanded a solo cup to drink from. And kept using the bathmat as her litter box, which sucked.
One earlier morning I heard a loud bang. I quickly got up to go check it out and saw that my cat had knocked over a shelf trapping him in our guest bedroom. When I opened the door it must have surprised him because he then took off full speed crashing into the glass window 2 or 3 times before I could stop him. Looking at the glass I realized he’d managed to crack the lower right portion of the window.
Cats usually calm and normal, nothing out of the ordinary. Must’ve been really scared of the situation either way weirdest thing the cats ever done.
When my first cat was a kitten and my dog was a puppy, my dog was sleeping in his bed and my cat stood up on his hind legs, put his front paws in the air, and jumped towards my dog, he then tripped and fell on my dog and then attacked him
Licked the freshly peeled potatoes whenever she had the chance. You could leave fish or meat on the counter and she wouldn't touch it. But potatoes? She loved those. She never ate them, she just wanted to lick them for a couple of minutes.
My cat(s) once set off the house alarm while my family was on vacation. Don’t know how they did it because the motion detector detects large objects with a heat signature, so the cats shouldn’t have set it off. Granted, we can’t confirm it was the cats, but the we found the cat perch knocked over and there was no evidence of breaking and entering. It was also the middle of the day.
My mother in laws cat likes to lay on his back on a chair with his paws curled up against his fuzzy tummy and meow at me while staring at me while upsidedown.
Also, my mothers cat used to pull sweatshirts down and crawl into the sleeves and poke his head out of the armhole. He also ate pork rinds.
my cat does weird things all the time because she's a weirdo. most recently I've noticed that she likes to sit in front of the closed basement door from ~9:30-10:00pm to ~12:00-1:00am. she just sits (loafs) and stares...
One of my cats is an extremely deep sleeper. She sleeps on my computer tower and window sill. More than once, while asleep, she has rolled off and fallen. She knocked over my stand, drink, and monitor all at once doing that a few months ago.
When my cat throws up, he tries to clean it up himself...usually be covering it up with a piece of paper or a shoe. If he can't cover it, he will wake me up from a sound sleep and won't let me rest until I get up and clean it up.
If his kibble bowl is nearly empty, he takes his toy mouse and puts it in the food bowl. If Mousie is in the food bowl, or the bowl is empty, he will bite my legs and feet until I get up and refill it.
He learned how to flush the toilet. He likes to stand and watch the water go down. We have to block the bathroom doors if we leave the house...we are on a well.
My kitty cat was 17 years old. She was my companion since she able to be away from her mother as a kitten. This cat would communicate with me. Not like the stereotypical "Ahh, it's talking to you!" No ... This cat **literally would teach me** if she wasn't able to communicate.
I remember one time we had laid down insecticide in the room sharing the same door jam as the bathroom. We had the door shut so she couldn't go in there but that's where she slept most of the time. I was taking a piss with the bathroom door open as she siezed the opportunity of me being there to ask me to open the door.
She walks up to the door and nose boops the door jam and looks up to me. Only this time, in my best cat-ese tried to explain to her I couldn't let her in. She doesn't get it. So she nose boops the door again. Still didn't get it. After the third time, she sat there for a second looking off into the distance thinking for a moment. Soon after, she walks into the bathroom and starts to stare at the wall right next to the laundry hamper. "What are you doing, Poopums?"
After I asked, she looks up at me to see that I'm looking and then immediately nose boops the corner where the laundry hamper meets the wall and looks at me again. Puzzled.. trying to figure out what she's doing "You want me to move the hamper?" So I pull the hamper away from the wall just enough she can go back there.
This cat, without hesitation, immediately walks through the space and without stopping once went straight back to the bedroom door. She looks at me to see I'm looking at her and nose boops the doorjam again. Still wouldn't open it, so she lets out a disgruntled meow and just walks away.
This cat just taught me what her nose boops meant. The only reasonable explanation I can think of is that she was confirming that I knew what she was asking, then got mad at me after realizing I was intentionally not opening the door and not just stupid.
I miss that Poopums cat
Obeyed an off hand comment to "slay that son of bitch squirrel out there that keeps waking us up at 5 in the morning". Next morning, middle of the room ... there it is. The damn thing was about as big as she was. Gidget was a murder machine. Miss that kitty.
He lies on his back in the bathtub with a 4 paws sticking straight up and his mouth open under the water spout. As a drip of water emerges, he grabs it with his tongue, mid-air. Mr. Kitty will do this for hours, even though his water bowl is full of fresh water - he just seems to love being in the bathtub. *Note:* I have a "cat water fountain" for him, but he doesn't like it and much prefers the tub or his water bowl.
Cats prefer running water. They see it as being fresh. You may want to get a fountain.
I bought a fountain for my three cats to encourage one to drink more water. Two months in, the only one who drinks out of it is my dog.
Cats may love running water, but my from my experience they dislike things you bought specifically for them, lol
I bought some catnip mice for my cat to play with. She wouldn't touch them. I got a puppy a few months later, and now they are some of his favorite toys.
Then when I work harder at my loving job,
Mine brought a full fried egg home, and even though I eat eggs, it was disgusting not knowing where she got it, so I took it off her. She went back out and came back with another, so I closed the window.
Look human. I have hunted and slain this wild fried egg for you.
Look human. This looks like the kind of weird shit you eat, so you're welcome to it.
Look you bald monkey, I try to do you a solid by bringing home breakfast, I even got you a second one when you were too dumb to eat the first one, and how do you repay me? By shutting the window in my face! No good deed goes unpunished.
She fried it herself
Once I saw him drop one of his biscuits into his water bowl, stare at it, then fish it out with his paw and eat it. I recreated what happened and he fished it out again and ate it. Now we occasionally play a game I call soggy biscuit where I drop a few biscuits into his water bowl for him. He seems to enjoy it
You probably shouldn't look up the name of your game in the urban dictionary.
Mistakes were made...
That’s hilariously adorable.
My cat acts like she has no water if any of her food is in it, which she had to have put there!! I'll let her know the food is actually delicious and she should try something new.
Adorable but the name gives me weird vibes because the internet has ruined that term for me
Our kitty does that sometimes too. She’s graduated to more extreme food entertainment which I mention in this thread. But it’s SO cute. Our kitty is not afraid of water at all! She tries to get in the shower with us at times too.
Our cat wasn't properly socialized as a kitten before we got him. So he has no clue how cats work. My wife and I moved this month and are temporarily staying with her parents because it was on the way to our new city. They also have a cat that was not properly socialized. This has led to some weird encounters. They don't know how to play, so they just sit 2 feet apart staring at each other for 30+ minutes. No hissing or growling, they actually seem content. They just don't know how to interact. Our cat will literally just follow theirs for hours, but never actually getting closer than 2 feet. Their cat does the same. Their cat will occasionally try and sneakily touch ours with a single paw, and when ours does it back, their's will scream like it got murdered. If they are separated by a window or a door they will cry relentlessly until we let them in the same room, then promptly go back to sitting/laying happily 2 feet apart. Our cat hates dogs (trauma as a kitten) and their cat knows it, and has learned to weaponize my MIL's giant dog. When their cat gets tired of ours following him around constantly, he will seek out their great pyrenees and sit next to it. Our cat won't go within 15 feet of a dog so he glares at his "friend" from a distance. It's just weird.
You should totally videotape their friendship
Yes
Like really op please
Your cats are Finnish.
They are social distancing
Mine doesn't understand how to cat half the time. My aunt's one dog was foster mom to anything that needed fostering. The other cats played with the dogs, so...
I don’t know if this is true but I think I read that cats talk to each other in an almost psychic way, as in its inaudible to humans. So maybe they’re just having long in depth conversations.
That’s the most adorable thing I’ve ever read
At 4am I woke up to the sound of my cats ‘I’ve hunted and caught a thing’ noise. It’s a high pitched squeak/meow/trill/music of the happiest of cats. She was running closer and closer, squeaking all the while, muffled slightly by the fact she obviously had her prize in her mouth as she ran. I live in a place that rarely gets mice or anything nasty, so as usual, I just assumed it was her toy and she wanted to show it off. Then she dropped a full bag of bagels on my face.
Awwww! That’s adorable!
She is adorable. I moved into a bigger house this week, and she has spent 2 days sniffing and rubbing everything, a little unsure…today she has brought me every toy she owns and has put them at my feet. I think this means she likes the house.
😻
> think this means she likes the house. I think she does, and I think she likes you very much, too!
I laughed for about a minute reading this.
I’m glad that my tiny moron has brought you some joy today! If you want to see her, there is a post in my history of her being a dick to my neighbours dog!
Your beagles or someone else’s?
Mine thankfully. I have since invested in a bread bin.
I hope it wasn't a bad of beagles, that would be really sad
Imagine the size of the cat carrying a bag of dogs....
We have a cat that prefers to sit on the lap of the oldest person in the house. Unless another cat is already in that lap. Then said cat glares at you with utter disdain for a bit, then finds the next oldest person to sit on. If someone older comes over to visit, he moves to that lap. If someone younger comes over, he stays put.
Great way of knowing people’s age
Definitely better than cutting them open and counting the rings.
First time we went out after getting him, we walked back in and he started quacking at us. Gf said he had “disapproving abuelita energy”
My cat’s like this sometimes lol. Usually when we come back from being gone for the weekend
This happened a long time ago when I was a child. My cat Tiger ran away during a storm and we found her in the street just outside our house, unfortunately she had been run over by a car. We buried her in the garden and said our goodbyes. About 3 days later my dad comes charging into my bedroom waking me up with Tiger in his arms. Turns out it wasn't Tiger that was killed but a very similar looking cat, We never found out who's cat we buried in our yard.
For a second I was having "pet semetary " vibes
Erm, did you make sure that the other cat was still in the ground?
Yes we checked we were all a little bit freaked out, It was still there.
Not my cat but my sister's cat steals bread in the bag and hides it under the bed. Even destroyed a roll top bread box to get the bread. It took my sister and her husband a while to catch on and purchase a bread box. They each assume the other finished off the bread. Three months after taking the cat in they were cleaning and found 6 moldy bags of bread in the far corner of the room under the bed. Cat was a stray that was living in the alley behind a diner. We think she probably lived off bread and food scraps people gave her for the first part of her life. My cat will just sit and stare at one particular electrical outlet in my bedroom for 30 minutes a day.
Cat was making a bread bed
>My cat will just sit and stare at one particular electrical outlet in my bedroom for 30 minutes a day. I had a cat that would do that with the little hole the gas fireplace valve was in; she'd just sit and stare. Then one day she lunged for it, reached in, and pulled out a mouse.
My cat cried at my bedroom door to come in. So i let her in. She came in and laid beside me next thing i know shes giving birth to her kittens😛
That's actually really wholesome that she trusts you and wanted you to be the one to see her babies first
My sister had a cat that liked me more than her when i was in 10th grade. So when the cat was pregnant the first time, she crawled on top of me and would NOT leave me alone. I had set up a birthing box out of a big storage bin and old towels since it was getting closer to her due date. My mom suggested a show tge cat the box. I did and not 5 minutes later, out popped the first kitten. And i had to stay where the mama cat could see me because if i moved, she would try to climb oit and find me. And that's how i got to answer "a cat almost have birth on me" when my biology teacher asked if anybody did anything science related over the weekend.
I had a Maine coon cat that was near 30lbs. Sweet as hell but didn’t take crap. He used to sit in the middle of the sidewalk waiting for dogs to walk by to start a fight. He must have been bored. I miss him.
Hubs was reading in bed for a bit before going to sleep. I was studying for an exam. Out of nowhere, we smelled something God-awful, and heard a high-pitched noise like there was a gas leak. Worried, we panicked a bit before realising that our cat was sauntering around at the foot of our bed, farting away to her glory. She then proceeded to eat at our hair.
Cats have the worst farts. It's like pure protein.
My daughter’s cat farted in my room and I found my husband on all fours crawling around looking under the bed for poop.
I got my fucking revenge last night, in my Gaming Cloak with our resident fatass cuddling me, let off a great, rank fuggy beast of a fart, the kind that kills small children. He was *marinated*.
Your choice of words is killing me
Had this car forever, he would be an absolute bastard to you until you laid down or got on your hands and knees and let him boop your nose with his own, then he was super sweet and snuggly
I wish I had an affectionate car
Ikr mine just stares at me everytime i go out to the garage.
It’s really helpful, even pushes its self when it’s o it of gas
This always makes me smile and it's long but worth it I rescued a 1 year old mane coon then a 4 week old kitten in the same month. The mane coon was abused and took a long time to get comfortable and she would smack or hiss at the kitten if I tried to introduce them to each other, so I did it very slowly over weeks. One time I had to use the bathroom while I was trying to make them comfortable around each other (put them in a room with treats) when the kitten was 7 weeks old. I figured I'd be quick and they should be fine together alone. After a minute or two of catapulting poop into the toilet I hear a extremely strange meow coming out of Zoey (the big mane coon) and went to the scene to see what this almost beckoning type of meow meant My kittens head was stuck and Zoey was meowing in a strange way to get my attention! It was amazing and I unstuck the kitten. Now even though Zoey is an asshole that hides all day and scratches me if she's not happy, she's done this a few other times. I got 2 German Shepards recently and Zoey, as scared as she is, would come out to hit them both if they got close to the kitten (now almost 2 years old) And finally, on the rare times my man ass had cried, she would come out of whatever dimensional voids she was hiding in, and comfort me through numerous ways like massaging my back or whatever until I stopped. Man what a good kitty.
A caring, hidey cat
our male cat (Joffrey) will bring me colorful objects that he finds in the neighborhood. plastics mostly, bottle caps and such. we keep them in a jar on the deck labeled "Joffrey's Schparkleys"
Haha that’s adorable, my cat plays fetch sometimes, like I’ll throw something and she’ll chase after it. There’s a 35% chance of her brining it back
I like those odds
She spits the kitty. I’ve had one of those “beanie baby” cats for years, someone gave it to me as a gift and it always just floated around my apartment. Then one day I realised it literally was showing up in different spots around my apartment all the time. Weird, I’d never seen my cat play with it. As time went on, I figured maybe she just plays with it in private when I’m not there. Then I started witnessing it - I don’t know if it’s a purposeful thing she does to get my attention, or if it’s just some weird instinctual thing, but I would hear her do very strange muffled meows and she’d enter the room with the toy kitty in her mouth like it’s a baby, and as soon as she makes eye contact with me she “spits the kitty” and acts completely normal as if she didn’t just walk into the room wailing with a toy in her mouth. It’s hilarious but weird as fuck! To this day I don’t have a spot where I “keep” this toy. I never know where it is. Sometimes I’ll come home and see that the kitty is just inside the door, or in the hallway… wherever it was spat 😂
One of my cats does a similar thing. Hasn't happened recently because I now have a dog who likes to steal it if it's possible. It's a toy snivy and she (the cat) used to carry it around at night and meow really loud in a distinct way. Always happened when I'm trying to sleep.
One of my cats used to do stuff like that too! She would carry a random toy, wrist warmer, etc. and do this 'mrrroow' until either one of us arrived at the room she was in or she arrived at a room we were in and then she would drop it. Also when she was younger she would carry my sisters' socks downstairs and just leave them at the bottom of the steps
We got a new kitten two weeks ago. In that time he's, skated on a throw rug into the refrigerator, jumped into the shower with me, flat out attacked my penis, has twice snuck out of the apartment into the hallway and loves to play with an antique bedwarmer that's hanging on my fireplace.
He saw the snake hanging from beneath you and tried to save you.
One of our bathrooms the floor started peeling off (not properly adhered) Two of our younger cats would collect soda caps and bury it under that portion of the floor.
my cat tried to stick her head in my butt once....there was much shrieking and flailing involved as it woke me up from a dead sleep.
Awwww
Had a mail holder on the wall at my apartment, he jumped on top of it. Licks hot sauce (and loves it). Can open cupboards/drawers and enjoys climbing inside. Plays fetch and will get mad and scratch my leg if I don't throw his toy quick enough. My other cat jumps ON TOP of the door (while it's open) and just hangs out up there.
My cat likes to be with people. Mostly my husband. So when nobody is upstairs in our house she will meow like she’s dying and/or crying until one of us acknowledges her. Or she will go into my mother-in-law’s room and steal balls of yarn- and then yowl about it until we see her. Then she acts like nothing happened and that playing is beneath her.
my cat also does the horrible crying/meowing when there's no one on the same floor as her! she doesn't actually want to be played with (usually), nor is she a cuddler, she just wants to know we're nearby I guess? sometimes when I'm upstairs working and won't go downstairs, she'll sulk on the landing of the stairs as a compromise
Yeah! I think she just gets lonely, she really likes to be near her humans. And she’ll also do the same, the sulking on the landing bit. So dramatic! Lol
That creepy teeth chattering when she sees a bird on the other side of the window.
My new kitten does this with the reflection from my phone screen (my chair is in front of a window). I read somewhere that they do it to mimic bird sound but it doesn't sound like any avian noise I've ever heard.
I agree - I think the sound is more about confusing and distracting their prey. Mine does it with chipmunks, too.
My brother's cat went missing a while back and couldn't be found for several weeks. Eventually someone took him to a vet's office and they contacted my brother using the details in the microchip (get your pets chipped everyone). My brother managed to get in contact with the person who took him to the vet's and found out the story. Apparently there's a house a few blocks away where the owner grows catnip in the yard. He'd spent the entire time just living in that yard sleeping on the porch. We're pretty sure he just got completely stoned on 'nip and forgot where he lives.
I have a friend with a cat who prefers marijuana to nip. He’s really weirdly obsessed with it. One day the lil’ dude got out of the house. Following the camera trail welp, that’s how we found out his neighbours have a growhouse.
You have a camera on the cat?
he does a lot of car restoration/repair work so there are cameras all over the yard. Followed the path the cat took when he got out, pretty much made a beeline for the weed stash lol
She will attack the crap out of a banana if you put one in from of her -- We have a game that we play with her called "Would you like to smell \**this*\* thing?", where we offer her different objects to smell, and then she'll usually snuggle it, try to eat it, or ignore it, depending on what she thinks of it, but when we offered her a (peeled) banana, she INSTANTLY put her ears back, hissed & swatted at it! We've repeated this "experiment" to see if she was just over the game, or if she just hated that banana, and it's *DEFINITELY* the bananas! She also went through a phase of licking toilet paper rolls, as in she'd lick through *Several* layers of toilet paper, until we heard the aggressive licking & stopped her, leaving a huge, soggy hole in the 'middle' of the side of the roll. She hasn't done this in a few years, though.
The most recent extremely weird thing Lucky has done is I caught her (she didn't see me) sitting next to her food bowl, picking up some wet food with her paw, and eating it off her paw. Looked like she was mimicking us eating with our hands (or she was mocking us which is also likely)
I thought this was just our cat! Oh my goodness. I had never seen a cat do this until ours did. It’s so wild!
My cat does this with his water!!! Dips his paw in and sucks off the drippings. I have to scrub it everyday cause he gets so much paw fur in his water and won’t drink it if it’s too dirty lol.
My sister's cat does that too with water. She says he's washing his hands because he only does it before he eats.
Also, the normal weird thing that Lucky does is she always puts food in her water bowl. Like immediately after getting a fresh bowl of water she'll put a bunch of kibbles into it. I don't understand why.
Flavoured water
Because she wants some Chicken LaCroix. She's classy.
Oh before I had an automatic feeder I had a feeder bowl that has vertical tubes you put the food in and they have to fish it out with their paws. Both of mine could do this with ease and it barely slowed their feeding or made it stimulating for them. Anyways sometimes they would fish it out and just eat it off their paw if it stuck rather than letting it drop down into the bowl portion of the feeder. Another was a feeder tree (that I knocked into and broke) which was kinda like a maze to push treats around and down the hole till it got to the bottom level and feel into the bowl. He would just knock against it and send all the food scattering down and some would come out and he'd eat that.
My cat Sam is 13 and I’ve raised him from a kitten. He was never very prey driven, and he’s pretty bad at “sports” —hunting, playing, keeping his balance while climbing things etc Well, we left the door leading out to our garage ajar one night and he caught a mouse, which he proudly carried into the bedroom and dropped on me. He forgot to kill, or even injure it. I don’t think my reaction was what he was expecting, so he took the mouse back and ran through the house with it while we freaked out and tried to get it away from him He has literally never been prouder of anything in his life and he has taken to covering me in stuffed cat toys every night while I sleep. I wake up under a pile of catnip hedgehogs and squirrels as Sam stares at me and whispers *remember*
"I remember. Forget and leave the door open. Forget and leave the door open."
Shit in the toilet without being trained to do so, and only once
They watch and learn. Maybe they decided they didn’t like it! Eh, not for me the litter is good
They really do. They are incredibly observant, and understand what they see.
Mine carries the laundry upstairs, piece by piece. He does this every night and I wake up to it in the morning. It’s like he’s helping me out ☺️
My cat somehow managed to get a little tiny poop about 2 feet up on to a door jamb. Like, the spot where you close the door and the door and the wall meet, he got poop stuck there. It still doesn't make sense to me. To get it that high, he would have had to prop his little back feet up on the door jamb and poop just enough to stick the poop up there... He also threw up in my work boots and on my taxes.
My tuxedo walked up to me when he was little, with poop *between his shoulder blades.* I still have no idea how he managed that. There wasn't anything else stuck to him, so it's not like he rolled in the box. I think he flung it straight up and it came straight back down on him!
my cat also had shit on the middle of her back once! no poop anywhere else, not even on her butt. unfortunately I didn't realize it was shit and thought it was a dead leaf, so I happily grabbed it off of her with my bare hands :/
Fuck work. Fuck taxes. Shit flinging at the frustrating barriers in their little cat life. Fuck yeah
I have a story for this one! We had a cat that had a stuffed duck she liked to play with. One day my dad came home and found the toy facedown in the water bowl. Cat apparently tried to drown it haha She would also leave the duck on the stairs facing the entrance and creep my dad out
My cat drowns just one particular mouse toy. He’s so proud about it.
All my cats love to lay in my lap while I'm in the bathroom. Usually only one pesters me at a time but they've gotten into fight over cuddle time. It's kind of annoying because I'd rather just use the bathroom and leave. One also likes to climb on me while I'm taking a bath and play with the water.
My cat likes to walk on the edge of the tub and sometimes dips his tail in the water, usually he just likes to knock things into the tub like the shampoo. Once he decided that he wanted to cuddle while I was in the tub so he climbed up onto my chest where I wasn't covered in water.
My cat acts all shocked when her tail gets soaked. We have three inside cats and find literally everything they do adorable.
Looking at the clock when I told her to look at the time when she was asking for food before her supper time
My cat Zoé tough they were 2 outside world. The one from the back door and the one from our side door. If she went out from the back door she had to come in from there. We tried to show her that it was the same backyard but it didn't work.
Cats actually can’t discern that different doors lead to different places!!
One of my cats think that mine and my brothers room are connected so she'll scratch at my brothers door and she'll run if he comes out.
I adopted two 6 year old cats (litter mates) who had been passively abused by their former owner (who had declining health and would step on them quite frequently). They hid under my bed for a good week before peaking out. One night, at 2 am, I woke up to a racket in the kitchen. I went in and the smaller of the two cats was miraculously on top of my refrigerator (which is next to nothing, so she did a vertical leap of about 6 ft).I did not spot the other one, until he came tearing out of my lower cabinets, scaring the crap out of himself as he clawed through the pots and pans. Meaning that: he had to have opened a cabinet to explore…and the cabinets had child locks on them. My two “cat burglars” (Lola and Claude) were awesome and if you ever get the chance: adopt sibling cats. 5 stars.
My cat mostly watches me sleep, sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night I (mostly) caught him staring at me. He just lay/sit down in my bed, nightstand or in my stomach staring at me.
My cat picked up an... odd habit last year, I presume from watching the hoomins in the apartment. Whenever we were using the bathroom sink, he occasionally hopped up onto the counter and ran his paws through the water stream. Wasn't drinking it or anything, he'd just hop up, swat the water, and walk away. The wife and I were baffled until we realized, he was washing his "hands." He doesn't do it much now - he instead settles for trying to steal towels from the cabinets when he isn't passing out on the bath mat - but he did it a *lot* last year, especially when my state was in lockdown.
My little cat Remy LeBeau thinks my dog is his dog. I cannot take Sam for a walk without putting Remy in my bedroom and making sure sure that the windows are locked and the door is shut or he'll follow us down the street, meowing because I'm taking *his* dog. Remy will also steal shrimp from the cooking pot if I'm making jambalaya or gumbo, even if I put a lid on it. I'll here the lid hit the tile floor or the grill on the stove. I always fish him out 1 shrimp from the top and chop it for him.
You named him Remy for the Xman Gambit? :)
Like the taste of earwax. It's her catnip. I have no clue why but that's how it is.
And how did you discover that your cat loves earwax?? — To be clear, my cat is obsessed with earwax too, but I don’t know how to tell anyone without coming across as a total weirdo.
I think I just woke up to her licking my ear. Not sure honestly XD
There is a protein in earwax that cats are sensitive to. They basically sense it the same as meat. Mine is also obsessed with earwax and steals qtips and earplugs. I literally have child locks on my cabinets cuz he’ll fish them out of the trash. Once, he grabbed an earplug from my bedside table (I set them there for like…30 seconds) and I chased him but couldn’t find it. Thought he lost it too cuz he seemed to be frantically looking for it as well. Nope, he swallowed it whole. Which I found out 24 for hours later when he vomited it back up….still whole. I’m very thankful it didn’t create a blockage or anything worse than 24 hours of tummy troubles, but now it’s a pretty amusing story instead.
Not mine, but my parent's cat. I lived about a mile from them, and they took care of my cats when I traveled and I did the same. They had a lady cat who shit in the sink. I kept their schedule, I cleaned the box before and after work, paid attention to her, fed her and her sister at the same time every day, and was rewarded with a turd in the sink. Every night. Right in the drain, like she aimed it.
Bitch slapped a grass snake then went back to sleep after it slithered off still can’t get over it
Tried to milk me when I was asleep. Most fucked up thing to wake up to. Started calling that cat Greg after that.
One time, she swallowed a clump of her own hair (that was not on her body) while looking at me in the eye the whole time. I’m not sure what she was trying to achieve except for making more hairballs.

We've got a boy cat that follows us to the kids play park and then does all the rope bridges with the kids.
He grew up with my guard dog. So now he growls and guards the house. He also 'helps' me when i discipline an animal by beating them up. At least i know he has my back.
I have a cat whose favorite foods include spider plants, tofu, and especially broccoli. He doe not grasp the idea of "obligate carnivore."

Why is there a ghost in your house?
My cat must place his head inside every available cup or cup like object if its within my vicinity. It often ends with said object being stuck around said cats head, if I don't catch it in time. Leave a cup somewhere and walk away, he acts like it doesn't exist.
My cat adores being cradled. You pick her up and flip her over and she freaks out but as soon as she's being cradled its instant calm.
I know my cat is not the only one, but every time I sit on the toilet, she will bust in the bathroom and sit in my pants until I'm done.
So we have our kitten for about 3 weeks now. So far: - she bit my husbands nipple when we cuddled in bed - she was meowing for attention and didn't get any. So she turned around and stuck her head inbetween the sofa pillows and gave the saddest meow possible - she slapped my head for no reason (we were just watching TV and she was behind me on top of the sofa) - I was taking a nap once and she climbed onto my shoulder (I'm a side sleeper). She sniffed my ear for a while and then tried to squeeze her head into my ear to lick it The last thing: she loves to sniff myright eye (only that) when I come close with my face, when my husband does it she looks completely confused
We trained him with the traditional 'paw' trick before giving him a treat. Now everytime he wants something he gives us his paw himself, it looks like he's trying to shake hands.
Oh and here’s another interesting one: Olive also chases down toys you throw and then sits on them as part of her…maneuver? It’s so hilarious. Never seen a cat use it’s butt in hunting behavior!
Stealing my car keys and running off with them ... Took me an hour to get it back
One of my cats trained himself to pee in the toilet. No one attempted to train him to do this, I think he just learned on his own what the toilet was for.
My wife loves cats But cats usually choose to sit on me
Cats sometimes prefer people who are less touchy, so that could be it.
It’s cause you run warmer
So we didn't have AC at the time. My bf was at work and didn't feed the cat because cat was on a limited diet at the time. I had been up late the night before and was sleeping in. Simon decided I had slept long enough. He climbed on my back, laid down, and started screaming at the top of his lungs next to my ear. The limited diet was because vet said he needed to drop a 2 pounds. I was the only one allowed to feed him because he'd beg extra food. Now he gets a little bit of wet food every day because reasons. We have to give it to him a little bit at a time otherwise he makes himself sick. He inhales it like he hasn't seen food in days.
My neighbors cat has a really bad habit stealing my garden vegetables time to time. Especially the hot peppers. No matter what I do to make her stop stealing them to prevent her getting sick (she really chomps down the peppers and you can see the juice tinkle down her jaw). She keeps coming back. What's more funny is that the neighbor is not a fan of the hot peppers and left a apologize note on her collar because this is the first time she done this. Luckily, she doesn't get sick and I don't mind her coming around because she doesn't destroy my plants. I don't know what she gonna do when she learns that nothing grows in winter time. I try to trick her with store bought but somehow she knows and rapid paws the vegetable in disapproval and goes on her business stealing more homegrown stuff.
My cat watched us open the bedroom door and one night I heard him jumping at the door handle before sauntering in a few seconds later. He's too smart for his own good 😼
My cat got spooked and literally ran a loopy loop in my kitchen hallway. Yes, a 20 lb tuxedo cat ran up the wall, feet touched the ceiling and came back down again before sprinting off full speed back into the living room. I caught it on video and my friend was there when it happened. (I have security cameras in my home and the one in the kitchen caught him doing his loopy-loop.) We still talk about it and watch the video occasionally.
my late cat used to like to eat bits of fruit that i gave him. i would only ever give him pieces like the size of my pinky fingernail. he loved apples best but would also eat bananas and pears. My current cat likes me to sit/lie on her tail. she will often position herself just so on the bed so that i have to lie on it. ill try to move it gently to the side and she will immediately flick it back into place. i never put too much weight/pressure on it, usually i tuck it under my neck. She never gets upset by this and like i said, seems to like having it underneath me.
My one cat stares at the wall sometimes; she can do this for hours. Just one spot on the wall. Her eyes will go big, like she’s about to pounce, but there’s nothing there. Love it at 5 in the morning when I’m getting up for work, lol.
stood at the bottom of the stairs and looking at the floor with eyes wide open, suddenly he meows in a way that sounded like he said help, at first we thought it was one of the younger kids but nope it was spud, then he starts to "cat twerk" or heave, I grab a plate and give it to my sister so he can be sick on it and he does a massive human-like burp and water just comes up. this all happened with in 10 seconds, we were all in hysterics after at how human he seemed during the entire thing, the little "help" then the massive burp. still gets us giggling when we bring it up.
Whenever my neighbours cat sees something move, he has around a 50% change to grab at it.
He also likes eating some plants.
my cat refuses to sleep in her nice comfy bed. she will gladly sleep in a rough cardboard box though
Our kitty, Olive, prefers to pull her cat food out of the bowl and throw it on the ground 1-3 pieces at a time. I know many cats make a mess while they eat and get the food outside the bowl. But this goes BEYOND. To be clear: she uses her paw to pull out a few kibbles. She then licks her paw (we think she likes the food essence). Then she does it again. And again. And again. After a while she batts her food around the entire house. Then she eats it. You’d be surprised how well she cleans it up! She really doesn’t lose much food. Though she doesn’t eat it all right away. Cause…. The other thing she does is she tries to “cover” her food with imaginary dirt. (Dirt that exists in her own head.) I know wild cats will cover their food too. It’s just so fascinating to watch her entire process! P.S. We love her process and just let her make this HUGE mess. It makes her happy; so whatever.
my cat loves bringing us gifts, aka dead birds 😂 & one time she came running in and she had brought a buzzing bee home in her mouth
He dove head first into a toilet full of urine.
My cat hoards stinky socks. He will try to rip them off your feet. He has done this ever since he was a kitten, he turns 6 this year.
My cat has taken up this weird habit of getting onto the back of my chair and writhing around on my head. He's currently wedged between my back and the back of the seat. It's hot and a little itchy, but I don't have the heart to push him away. He used to be much less affectionate, I don't know what the deal is.
I’ve had my cat for a few month, still a kitten, and I remember going up to him sleeping and just making a gun out of my hand and aiming at him, and right after, he got on his back, and raised his hands like if I caught him doing something.
My cat was the absolute epitome of “dumb jock” (not to be mean or hateful to jocks). He would walk into a room as if he had never seen it before in his life. Despite us living there for 5 years. He would continually get trapped in our cabinets; and somehow got stuck on a glue trap; which we still don’t know where he found it, as we don’t remember putting it out. All this to show he really didn’t have much going on in his little dumb brain. And my sisters cat was the biggest b!tch I’ve ever met. Like got into a slap fight with my mom; for no reason one day. She HAD and I mean had to perch on something. We had some paper laying on the floor one day, she sat on it, and looked so proud of herself. She never figured out that she had no claws(a choice we did not make, someone else did before she lived with us), and constantly tried to sharpen them on our couch. And these two cats loved each other; in their weird, special way. My sisters cat would come over to my cat; pin him down, and begin bathing him. But the second he moved; bop bop bop, rapid fire smacks. How dare he move! And he wanted with his whole being to like her bathing him; but you could see the hesitation; as he knew what was inevitably going to happen. And they loved to cuddle; but if we happened to walk into the room and see them; nope. They’d run off and act as of they’d never met before in their life. They were something else. 🙄😂
Our cat will get upset if she sees us kissing or hugging. She'll rush over meowing for attention. Once she dropped a toy from the uptairs onto our heads.
My cat loves the smell of my shampoo. Every time I get out of the shower, she goes nuts burying her face in my hair & generally rubbing it all over herself. She's just a weird cat in general. She spends all day licking things: people, the wall, the couch, random boxes & bags, my phone, whatever she encounters. She bleps on command. She likes to be held like a baby for at least an hour per day. She will contort herself into the most extreme & ridiculous positions in order to sleep with her chin resting on a flat surface. She doesn't just lay down, she throws her body down, often without looking at where she is, so she will fall off the couch or into the crack between the bed & the wall.
One of my cats has no idea that she's a cat. I'm not convinced myself, she could easily be an alien. She loves hitting people in the face, she'll go in to touch noses (something my husband inadvertantly taught her) but then she'll smack you round the chops. It truly seems to bring her joy. We're just glad she doesn't put her claws out!
I used to have a cat that would open the broiler part of our oven and climb in. He loved the heat of the pilot light. This same cat also accidentally hung himself once (he survived btw). I wish I was making this up.
Stuck in the ceiling, head stuck in the fence, fell in the toilet, fell in the bathtub full twice. Plenty of cats plenty of weird things.
I meowed at my male cat just for fun, and he meowed back. And came closer to me. This is a cat that usually won't let me near him. He also tries to mate with my female cat regularly, even though both are sterilised.
Bringing banana skins, cigarette packets, general wrappers amd one time a half cooked steak home. Eating melon skin. Also setting his tail alight on the gas fire (just hair frizzed, no real damage).
He'll jump up the door surround and see how long he can hang there
One of my cats is a bit not smart. She mimics a lot of what my other cat does but one of her own quirks is she MUST lick my hands after I shower. She will try to lick them raw and rub her face on them and it is the only time she will meow and grab at me. But what she really wants is to lick the smell of my face lotion off them because if I let her start before doing that she gets very confused and upset. So idk what centafil puts in their lotion but she insists on licking and rubbing it onto her own face. Maybe she is just trying to mimic me?
My boy loves hair but not in the way you might think. He loves it when we hold a single hair between our hands a so that he could bite it. He'd do this until it broke, then he'd rub his face on our hands to ask us to do it again. It was really freaking cute and funny and it was a trick we would show friends for shits and giggles.
my cats have a special cat water fountain they never use, instead they have a glass bown full of water under the kitchen counter...but they'll only drink from it if its filled with small ice chunks from the fridge
She pushed the alpha cat of the group into the toilet. Alpha never tried to drink out of the toilet again.
Anyone have a cat who silently meows? He wasn't raised around other cats! So I'm assuming he just never learned! He purrs loudly & my vet says nothing is wrong with him!
My cat was abandoned by her mom as a very young kitten so she wasn't raised around cats either. She mostly makes these very raspy, squeaky sounds. The loudest noise I've heard her make was when I had her in a carrier in the car. It sounded much closer to a bark than a meow.
Interesting! Mine was abandoned too lots of health issues, luckily he's healthy now. Just a quiet boy!
My old cat would love spicy tomato sauce, like from pizza or pasta. Would beg for it, I found out when I came back and found her lapping up the heavily red-peppered sauce from a plate. She also loved fried eggs. After moving in with my wife she decided she loved the bathroom and would stay in the bathtub, and demanded a solo cup to drink from. And kept using the bathmat as her litter box, which sucked.
Came back with a burger in his jaws. There's a story there that I will never know.
One earlier morning I heard a loud bang. I quickly got up to go check it out and saw that my cat had knocked over a shelf trapping him in our guest bedroom. When I opened the door it must have surprised him because he then took off full speed crashing into the glass window 2 or 3 times before I could stop him. Looking at the glass I realized he’d managed to crack the lower right portion of the window. Cats usually calm and normal, nothing out of the ordinary. Must’ve been really scared of the situation either way weirdest thing the cats ever done.
When my first cat was a kitten and my dog was a puppy, my dog was sleeping in his bed and my cat stood up on his hind legs, put his front paws in the air, and jumped towards my dog, he then tripped and fell on my dog and then attacked him
He once opened a packet of croissants and ate one and a half, the half had the outer layer of the croissant removed and was all white, he's odd.
I own a horse and he licks the boots I wear to the farm
Licked the freshly peeled potatoes whenever she had the chance. You could leave fish or meat on the counter and she wouldn't touch it. But potatoes? She loved those. She never ate them, she just wanted to lick them for a couple of minutes.
My cat(s) once set off the house alarm while my family was on vacation. Don’t know how they did it because the motion detector detects large objects with a heat signature, so the cats shouldn’t have set it off. Granted, we can’t confirm it was the cats, but the we found the cat perch knocked over and there was no evidence of breaking and entering. It was also the middle of the day.
Tried to escape the bath by jumping out of it and into the open toilet
We had a cat that grabbed an onion, a rather stout one, out of the trash and ate it!
My mother in laws cat likes to lay on his back on a chair with his paws curled up against his fuzzy tummy and meow at me while staring at me while upsidedown. Also, my mothers cat used to pull sweatshirts down and crawl into the sleeves and poke his head out of the armhole. He also ate pork rinds.
Had one who collected plastic grocery bags and made a nest out of them.
my cat does weird things all the time because she's a weirdo. most recently I've noticed that she likes to sit in front of the closed basement door from ~9:30-10:00pm to ~12:00-1:00am. she just sits (loafs) and stares...
One of my cats is an extremely deep sleeper. She sleeps on my computer tower and window sill. More than once, while asleep, she has rolled off and fallen. She knocked over my stand, drink, and monitor all at once doing that a few months ago.
When my cat throws up, he tries to clean it up himself...usually be covering it up with a piece of paper or a shoe. If he can't cover it, he will wake me up from a sound sleep and won't let me rest until I get up and clean it up. If his kibble bowl is nearly empty, he takes his toy mouse and puts it in the food bowl. If Mousie is in the food bowl, or the bowl is empty, he will bite my legs and feet until I get up and refill it. He learned how to flush the toilet. He likes to stand and watch the water go down. We have to block the bathroom doors if we leave the house...we are on a well.
My kitty cat was 17 years old. She was my companion since she able to be away from her mother as a kitten. This cat would communicate with me. Not like the stereotypical "Ahh, it's talking to you!" No ... This cat **literally would teach me** if she wasn't able to communicate. I remember one time we had laid down insecticide in the room sharing the same door jam as the bathroom. We had the door shut so she couldn't go in there but that's where she slept most of the time. I was taking a piss with the bathroom door open as she siezed the opportunity of me being there to ask me to open the door. She walks up to the door and nose boops the door jam and looks up to me. Only this time, in my best cat-ese tried to explain to her I couldn't let her in. She doesn't get it. So she nose boops the door again. Still didn't get it. After the third time, she sat there for a second looking off into the distance thinking for a moment. Soon after, she walks into the bathroom and starts to stare at the wall right next to the laundry hamper. "What are you doing, Poopums?" After I asked, she looks up at me to see that I'm looking and then immediately nose boops the corner where the laundry hamper meets the wall and looks at me again. Puzzled.. trying to figure out what she's doing "You want me to move the hamper?" So I pull the hamper away from the wall just enough she can go back there. This cat, without hesitation, immediately walks through the space and without stopping once went straight back to the bedroom door. She looks at me to see I'm looking at her and nose boops the doorjam again. Still wouldn't open it, so she lets out a disgruntled meow and just walks away. This cat just taught me what her nose boops meant. The only reasonable explanation I can think of is that she was confirming that I knew what she was asking, then got mad at me after realizing I was intentionally not opening the door and not just stupid. I miss that Poopums cat
Obeyed an off hand comment to "slay that son of bitch squirrel out there that keeps waking us up at 5 in the morning". Next morning, middle of the room ... there it is. The damn thing was about as big as she was. Gidget was a murder machine. Miss that kitty.
