Weird things cats do

Just wondered of the cat owners out there what weird things does your cat do?
Mine has got a new thing- when I've just hung up my clean laundry to dry he pulls an item of his choice like a pyjama top off and drags it into his litter tray to poo and wee on :eek2:

She also used to come and lie on my bed with me whenever I was upset. She always knew. Lovely lovely cat, RIP Tia
She is obsessed with crisps and popadoms and goes crazy every time you eat either in her presence.
I think cats provide hours of entertainment, they do the most random things!
She also gets lonely and worried if she cant find anyone in the house so she'll walk around and miaow til she finds someone. Not so cute when its 7 in the morning, you're trying to sleep and she's sitting outside my bedroom door crying to get in
I love cats soo much!
My cat does that too.
He also likes to open the drawers to get under the bed.
Oh, he doesn't like sellotape. If it's being used he shakes his head and sticks his tongue out. He does the head shaking when hes playing with a ball or toy mouse.
:yes:
Eating any insect it finds
Drinking out of the toilet
rolling over on its stomach and then biting you when you go to stroke him
randomly running through the house growling for no reason
Hm, that's a good idea. Have the cat just shit everywhere it likes! Wow, how did I not think of that.
They can go outside to do their business.
We trained our cats to use the cat flap by helping them through then giving them a lil bit of tuna. Also, over a few weeks we'd move the little tray closer and closer to the door, then it went outside for a while, then we got rid of it and now she just goes outside by herself
Well, if you're too thick to train your cat then... shat on is what you'll get.
We didn't have a cat litter tray and the cat never shat in the house.
You can't have your cat leave the flat in an inner city apartment.
I've never known a cat to do that, but a relative's Alsation dog did that - drinking out of the toilet bowl. Highly amusing.
My family had a seal-pointed Siamese cat in 1990 (R.I.P. 2008), that did most of the tricks that you see on You've Been Framed. That included turning on lights and opening doors, even if she had to pull the door instead of push it. Her main trick though was to open the door of our microwave when we had food in it. We could come back to the kitchen to find that the food inside has been half eaten. The food itself could be anything from bolognese to mac-and-cheese. Our workaround was to gaffer-tape the door eject button lol :-D
Yeah Lexi, I've known a few cats to fart, but not dogs.
Never ever live in an inner city apartment, moral of the story :yes:
and then I'll get up and she'll pretend to be asleep at the foot of the bed :grump:
Xx
She likes to bring mice in from outside, take them up stairs into the bathroom, drop them in the bath (alive) while she sits on the edge of the bath watching the mouse run up and slide down in the bath, She could do this all day, its been proven. I got up at 8am, she was sat doing it, Came home from work at 5pm, she was still sat there... :chin:
She brings birds in too, their usually bigger than her and her cat flap... which always makes me wonder.. HOW?!
She loves to sleep in bed with me, Eat crisps and she is OBSESSED with carrots.
At about 6am, You can always hear her sliding around on the laminate flooring having a mad half hour... phsycho cat... Gota love her
As an aside, cat poop stinks because commercial cat food stinks. Ours eat a raw meat diet which has the dual benefit of a) not stinking half as much as tinned, pouch or dry food and b) because there is no waste, i.e. a cat utilises all the nutrients in raw meat/bone, they poop far less often.
Both cats have their own quirks. They are great hunters ... of flies and spiders! House plants don't stand a chance. We have to be really careful not to buy poisonous ones as anything green gets eaten. They go mad for pieces of raw cabbage and french beans, and will steal digestive biscuits out of your hand. They love cardboard boxes and paper bags and will roll around the floor in them for hours. The only really annoying habit is chewing light electrical cables, e.g. mobile phone leads. One of the cats gave himself a bit of a shock once when he chewed through a live printer cable. There was an awful spark as he hit the metal wire. Didn't do him much harm, luckily, but he did drink a lot of water for the next couple of days!
You should come and sit in my lounge after our three have had liver cake :sour:
Our cats aren't too weird. One of them is a bully to the other one, but then the other one eats his food so it balances out
The only thing that's funny that Sabrina (the bullied one) does is that whenever I come home she basically blanks me for hours because my bed is her 'spot' and so when I come home and shut my bedroom door she gets really moody with me
My cat Stevie liked to play with the plastic green seal things off milk cartons that you take off to open it. Also cereal boxes and my brothers boots were their favourite, hours of fun!

Haha thats sooo gooood I love it!!! My cats do that obviously without the baseball bat
EDIT: Hehehe I've just watched the others on youtube, I love it, theyre all sooo true! Especially the TV Dinner one!
I like it when my cat sleeps with a paw over his eyes.
Yes! Hehe why do cats do that, you open the door for them then they sit there for 5 minutes before deciding whether they want to go through or not. My cat hurries up though when I go to shut the door on her.
Hehe my favourites one are Hot Spot - genius! Fly Guy, and TV Dinner. Theyve got all the mannerisms of the cat just right
