What's the weirdest thing your cat does?

[bif]

Mine likes to bring grape tomatoes upstairs and leave them on my bed. Somehow she carries them up in her mouth without biting them.

1. Sophie Stinky Toes used to scatter my socks all around the house

She found socks that I had lost! Those are the ones she dragged out when I remembered to close my sock drawer.

2. Leaving you a gift?

Some cats like to bring their people dead mice or snakes and lizards. My cat just brings me wand toys and I am okay with that. When she was a kitten she would pull the sink stopper out of our bathroom sink and leave it usually in the entry way, occasionally in the dining room.

8. My cat brought me a live roach. In my bed. At night. While I was asleep.

After I jumped about 8 feet in the air and kicked the roach across the room, I was finally able to go back to sleep, in another room.

She brought it to me again. A live roach. In my bed. For the second time in one night.

She was banished from my bedroom after that.

3. Carries his fuzzyball in his mouth

And sometimes he sucks on it.
The ball is too big to swallow and he is adorable when his fuzzyball is in his mouth. Been trying to get his picture with the fuzzyball and cannot get it.

When I do get that pic DU will be the first to see it.

4. My girl cat chews on our elbows. Previous girl cat used to roll around on my bra.

5. Picabo washes his food

He also takes baths in the water bowl and likes to drink water out of the dripping faucet.

Someone dumped him in the country and he lived in our forest for several months before his rescue and I believe he lived with raccoons.

7. We have one that washes her food too!

She puts "crunchies" (pieces of dry food) in the water bowl & then scoops them out with her paw.

I say she's making soup.

6. My late Maine Coon, Ricky

LOVED sweet baked goods like donuts and muffins. If you had one he would bug you endlessly until you gave him a little (that’s all he wanted). He especially loved angel food cake. One time I made one, left it out to cool and later found it on the kitchen floor with some bites out.

9. We have one that seems to try to turn on light switches.

She sees us turning light switches on/off & she jumps up the door jamb, grabbing the casing (trim) on both sides. If there's a light switch next to a doorway, there are cat claw marks on the trim on both sides & she actually gets several inches higher than the switch.

She hasn't turned a light on/off that we know of, but she seems to be trying.

10. My late black cat panther once brought me a "dead" bird and left it in my dark hallway

I thought it was poop and went to pick it up with a paper towel I found out it wasn’t dead and it twitched! I picked it up and took it outside and it flew away! The cat meowed at me like he was mad !

11. one of ours likes to charge up the stairs like Uncle Teddy

in Arsenic & Old Lace. All that is missing is the trumpet!!!

These stairs have a door at the bottom, and if one of us is in the room when she wants to go upstairs, she will sit by that door and mew until one of us opens it, then she will tear up those stairs like a bat out of hell.

Never mind the fact that the door is never latched & she is perfectly capable of pulling it open enough to get through it. Her food and litter are downstairs and she likes to hang out upstairs with Mr YD most of the day, so she goes up and down those stairs on her own quite regularly to get snacks and visit the box.

She also escorts Mr YD into the bathroom so he will turn on the drip in the sink for her. Many times she will mew at him until he follows her in there for her water fountain. She does not like the way I turn on the water though, and she is not interested in the other bathroom sink at all.

14. Fast Eddie thinks that Grape-Nuts is

The. Best. Kibble. Ever!

If you want some for breakfast, you have to take the bowl with you to the refrigerator to add the milk. Turn your back or take a single step away, he's up to his ears in the dry cereal. You eat it with your arms circled around it and a mighty glare on your face. An instant of inattention results in unwanted sharing.

I have a cat who eats dry barley, in preference to literally anything else.
