Weird things your cats do..

[Itala Marzullo]

One of my cats (Chico) loves to hump a stuffed puma, and bows to me everytime I walk by.

I really should make a video of this.

[Zereth Lancer]

That's weird, and interesting, and hilarious. Yes. Video is a must.

[Karl Valten]

My cat just jumped face first into the bay window. I think he saw a bird or something, I can't tell, I'm still laughing.

He looks miffed.

I have a dog who has always been afraid of slipping on linoleum floors. When he was a puppy, my cat used to sit in the basement door and, when the dog came trotting down the hall, swipe out a paw and trip him, then turn and run down the stairs.

[Zereth Lancer]

I have a younger sibling who has the habit of running her head into the table edge. She's kind of like a pet, really. I would put it on film, but I don't want a child abuse lawsuit. "She threw herself into the table, Judge, I swear!" Yeah, not going to work. Thus you all with have to be satisfied with imagining my sis running her head into the table. I am still mystified as to whether she does it on purpose or not.

[Karl Valten]

...I walked into the glass sliding door on the porch when we were first viewing the house.











...I knew it was closed.......but I reached for the handle and just kept walking.

[/endtangent]

Really wyrrd thing my cat does is pull his fur out. He's been doing this for about two months now. I have no clue why, I just end up comming home and finding a pile of fur on the ground.

He's getting bald patches. What the heck is going on?

[Zereth Lancer]

Oh, it's the dreaded Emo-Kitty! He does not cut himself, but sheds himself instead.

I have no idea why, but have you tried consulting an animal doctor/specialist for reasons pertaining to your cats bouts with madness?

Maybe he's a darksider, like Marcus' cats.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Maybe mange?

Could be a flea problem as well I imagine.

Some cats are jumping cats. My smallest and thinnest (part siamese) is that. He has no concept of what gravity is, or I should say gravity somehow has no concept of who the cat is. He can make even the most illogical jumps look like he's just stepping and it's no effort. Very fast too as a result of the part siamese.

Some cats look ungainly, but can jump and climb. That'll be the Australian Myst I have. Fat, big, big stupid and loves a game of "Fly Kitty!" But still, a nasty handful if he's P.O.ed

Some cats cant jump. No, this is in fact true - some cats just do not jump like Stig. At 4 foot nose to tail and at last weigh in, 9 kg (And no fat), it's kinda understandable..... if he was a bucket of lard. Which he isnt. He is just plain a normal cat, then upscaled 20-30%. Even vets are surpised by his just plain sheer size. More boggling is the fact when I caught him, he was a runt. I've never known a cat that can eat like him too - he will put away twice the food of the other two combined and still want more and as I said, he has no lard on him and he is quite active. I know other think they have big cats but trust me... Stig's probably the biggest normal cat you will see.

Clunmbsy bastard, without a hint of cat grace about him too.

Which makes the fact he's a climbing cat all the more surprising. climbing cats dont like jumping, but they will climb anything and get down without problems. A genuine climber is fairly rare but in a lot of ways, these are the ones that you really need to lock up at night, as they are the ones that wipe out birds with a great deal more efficency than other cats. Stig is just like his pure size, is in a class of his own in his bird hunting and he has literally demolished the imported pest myna population, turning under the house into a graveyard of feathers. Now, we knew he was a bird hunter and hates birds due to some attackign him when he was a kitten, but the way he gets them goes like this....

1) Noisy Myna sees Stig, begins to dive bomb aand screech to drive predator out of territory

2) Stig looks highly annoyed and begins death stare and what I call killing routine - odd mews and tail lashing. Will move slightly away

3) Birds in trees pleased with themselves cat is leaving

4) Stig suddenly turns into a black blur and accelerates up tree

5) Birds on branches all like "Haha cat cant get us.... OH CRAPPPP" as Stig screams out onto branch at full tilt.

6) Birds realise they can fly and take off, thinking "Haha cat cant get us!!!"

7) Stig takes off after them

Now, about now your expectign some sort of "splat" and birds laughing at dumb cat. And when I first saw it, so was I and it was at quite some considerable height off the ground too. This was not going to end well for Stig, right?

8) While IN midair, Stig snatches bird out of air and literally LANDS on them. Due to his size, bird is either stunned or outright killed.

9) Other birds GTFO as Stig drags lunch away.

10) Humans cant believe they just saw that kind of aerial assasination

[Zereth Lancer]

I don't know whether I should be amazed or terrified. The fact that you've raised a Ninja Cat Assassin makes me want to cat-proof my house, just in case.

[Karl Valten]

Nothing is cat proof. It is physically impossible.

[Diamond Roa]

Dogs look up at us. Cats look down at us. Pigs treat us as equals. Everyone should have a pet pig.

.... in between two slices of toast, a light salad and a glass of wine.

Or as a pork chop.

Mmmmmmmmmm..... pork chops.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Mumm-Ra is a lesbian cat. No seriously.

[Cat X]

Mumm-Ra is a lesbian cat. No seriously.


Damn censor. There's all sorts of great liners that should be used about now....

[Itala Marzullo]

Now I feel like eating Babe.

Mmmmm. pork chops.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

My cat Taylor has one spot in the middle of his back that he cannot reach. It gets pretty dirty. :( He's a little fat.

He also is pretty big, likes to climb, but doesn't jump so good, despite being part Siamese. He can only get his back legs like four inches off the ground. He can however stand up on his back legs and is pretty tall when he's reaching for stuff like that. :p

[Rutabaga]

About a month after I had to have my elderly cat put to sleep earlier this year, I got a new cat at the local Humane Society shelter. Lily has turned out to be a major talker, especially when it's time to get her wet food. She shrieks so loud, I figure anyone walking by would assume I must starve her or something :lol.

Lily and her pal Chewie also both seem to prefer drinking out of the bathroom sink faucet rather than out of their water dishes.

[Khendon Sevon]

My kitty (5 years old already?) Athina will run into the room where you are and, at full speed, try to jump onto something. She usually makes it and then looks at you for applause. Every once and a while she doesn't jump high enough and only gets her front paws on and falls to the ground :)

Then, as if she's embarrassed, she'll run out of the room.

[Zereth Lancer]

Dogs look up at us. Cats look down at us. Pigs treat us as equals. Everyone should have a pet pig.

When a woman goes to feed her dog, the dog looks up at her and thinks: "She's feeding me, she must be a God." Now, when the woman feeds the cat, the cat thinks: "She's feeding me, I must be a God."

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

haha, I like that, Zereth :D

Russian is one of the most ungraceful cats you'll ever see, and coupled with the fact that she's a jumper, it makes for some hilarious hijinks. It's not uncommon to hear a spectacular crash from the other room that lasts about five seconds.

[Rutabaga]

Geez, I forgot all about the weird thing Chewie likes to do...if I shine a light on the ceiling, like a flashlight or a laser pointer, she starts talking to it! It's a strange chittering little noise, and she talks to birds that she sees outside the window the same way too.

Now that's what I love about cats - Laser pointers for some reason send them insane. Razor especially - he will climb walls trying to get them and do the most insane acrobatics.

[Cirrsseeto Quez]

Skeletor and Russian are weird and should be encased in a lucite cube separate from the rest of our house.

Wait thats all of our cats. Keep them in a clean room and submerge it below ground.

[Nayala Palain]

My cat, well one of my cats walks right into walls. It could be she is missing half of her mental processor.... :lol

she has no depth within her eyes, so she swats at nothing, shes nearly 8 years old now so i take pity on my poor cat. My husband just picks on her, so does my son.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I just discovered this morning that Russian pilfers cigarette butts out of the ashtray and runs through the house with them :x

[Rutabaga]

That's pretty close to what Chewie does, yup. Even looks a lot like Chewie :).

[Nayala Palain]

LOL your cat smokes.

[Karl Valten]

My cat sleeps on his face. I should try to get a picture the next time he does that. Sometimes he's so out of it that you can lift his head up a drop it and he won't wake up.

[JediBeldarine]

My cat, Lex, likes to drag dirty laundry out of the hamper and run around the house with the article of clothing... while screaming his stupid head off. I love it when I come home to find random bras and pairs of underwear strewn all over my house.

The laser pointer drives both DJ and Lex insane... as does my son. The best is when you see a cat running full tilt across the house with a giggling toddler running after them (arms outstretched in front of him, no less).

[Seerriss]

my cat watches tv, my mother didn't believe me until I turned on Meerkat Manor and my cat followed the little buggers around the screen and tried to paw at them....she will watch nearly the whole show.....

[Kelly Perris]

My cat, Rip, like many cats, is found regularily on the back of the couch. What gets me is when he starts to eat my hair. Rip fears pumpkins, baguettes and vacuums.

Rip is somewhere around 30 lbs of domestic sketchiness. I love my kittums.

[Bloodcrest]

We had two cats.

The first is nearly seven years old and weighs 17 lbs. The strange thing about this cat, he's bulimic. He eats his food as though it is his first and last meal ever...only to throw it up a hour later. Sometimes he then proceeds to re-eat it...
The other strange thing about him, although he's strictly an indoor cat, he yearns for the outside with intense curiosity.

Our other cat died today. We had to put her to sleep because she got really sick with a blood parasite that had been in remission for two years and suddenly attacked. She was one of the sweetest cats you'd ever meet, and she was small. She was the runt of her litter so when we got her when she was only a few weeks old, he thought she was a boy and named her Jake. Even when we found out that she was a girl and not a boy, we decided the name was stuck so she continued for her entire 4 1/2 year life as Jake. Being the runt, she only grew to be about half the size of a normal cat and looked like a cat stuck halfway between the kitten and cat stages. Of course, she was very intelligent and often used her size and kitten-ness to get extra food or attention.

This post is dedicated to Jake, the cutest kitty in the world. July 2002-June 5th, 2007.

[Laodice Laos]

Sorry about your kitty :(

My roommate's cat Underfoot loves toothpaste. Loves it. He was sprawled out on the bathroom counter this morning, sucking on my toothbrush.

[Master Laran]

:(

Very sorry to hear of your loss. Little Jake sounds like she was a very sweet kitty. :hug We had to put down one of our cats a year ago and I still get all sad when I think about him. :(

[Rutabaga]

I'm sorry to hear about Jake, she looked like a nice kitty...I had to go through the same thing earlier this year, it was the first time I've ever had to put an animal to sleep. But it was a very peaceful and beautiful thing. I have her ashes here and still talk to her every once in a while.

:hug

When I was still living on my own and could keep my cats indoors, I had them leashed trained and they would sit on command. Now that I live with my grandma (again) they have to stay in the barn in our back yard. The only time they love me anymore is when they are in heat or giving them food. Evil things...but I love them.

Now every once in a while I'll let them out of the barn (the barn is the size of a small one bedroom apartment, and they have the entire place to themselves, so they have plenty of room, plus it's heated for the winters...they stay warmer in the winter than I DO) so that they can go and explore the yard. For the first year or so that I lived in this house we didn't have a fence around the yard, but they still never left the property. ANd even now they dont' attempt to climb the fence to leave, but they will climb the damn tree and get on the roof and get stuck.

[Krishna Marzullo]

Oh and their newest act of intelligence: I opened the windows to the barn to get rid of the musty smell and to let some cooler air in, but one of the screens has a hole in it big enough for the smaller one to get out, so I only opened that window part way. They now are able to get themselves stuck between the screen and the glass.

I have such smart cats.

[Itala Marzullo]

My momma cat Foxy is growing the habit of coming over to me to pet her and then fart, and believe me, her gas is nothing to joke about.

[Morgan Evanar]

I had a dog that could run down a pidgeon before they got 4 feet off the ground from 50 feet away.

I miss the big black labrador of a cat I used to have. He would literally eat a pound and a half of sashimi. He was also mallable to the point of absurdity. Sometimes I would walk around with a 42" cat sash. Most of the time he would come when called. He could jump fairly well despite his size, but also could climb VERY well. Maybe it's a big black cat thing.
