1) plays fetch; typically with rubberbands, stray hair ties, or q-tips
2) plays in my toilet; usually she drops the rubberbands, hair ties and q-tips into the toilet, then fishes them out. and sometimes if i'm really lucky, she brings me a wet q-tip to play fetch with
3) she only drinks out of cups (or the toilet). if i leave a glass of water out, she WILL knock it over trying to fit her head in it to drink
4) gives kisses, but only on the nose. i try to tell myself it is exfoliating
5) she sits inbetween the shower curtain and liner and watches me shower
6) if i take a bath, she sits on the side of the tub with her tail hanging in the water
7) i know a lot of cats do this--but she "barks" at birds/squirrels
8) she is really bad at covering her poop in the litter box. she takes like 20 minutes to do it and she wipes her paws on the side for 20 more minutes after that. really annoying sound.
9) when she eats, she picks up each piece of food in her mouth, puts it on the floor, then eats it
10) she locks herself in her carrier
11) doesn't play with any toys i get her, only mommy's earrings, headbands, etc
12) her favorite toy is a singing NCSU football. she hits it off my bookshelf---i guess she likes the fightsong
13) her favorite snack is chocolate (yea, no bueno. she like seeks it out. she has run past me before with a bag of something in her mouth which i later discovered to be a chewed on bag of m&ms)
14) her new favorite snack is the rubber matting underneath my carpet. she will NOT stop eating it
15) she loves cinderblocks and any other scratchy concrete things (like lawn ornaments. i have a lawn ornament rabbit in my living room. it is her bff. she cuddles with it everyday)


i could go on and on. why is she so strange. maybe she is "just a cat" but she is weirder than any other cats i know. she is very needy, not very independent, stealth, or any other cat-like quality.

the culprit:

is it fat?

what's its name?

2/19/2008 12:04:16 AM

im not fucking read that

2/19/2008 12:04:33 AM

yes she is overweight i'm not a bad pet owner and she is on a diet. she is just a fatty. that picture isn't flattering at all. her name is Callie.

this is her sleeping. she doesn't look as huge here

i wish my cat was cool

i keep trying to kill it

2/19/2008 12:09:13 AM

my cat is autistic (my vet also thinks so)
his name is Steve

he likes to bite wet hair
he will jump IN the shower with me if i don't close the door... like, in the water.
if a door is closed, he will get a running start and throw himself against it until someone opens it
he sleeps on my pillow either next to my head or curled around the top of it
he snores

2/19/2008 12:11:14 AM

^ my cat sleeps on the pillow next to my head too. she is so needy. i got a cat because i thought we'd be friends sometimes but othertimes she would just chill and do what cats do. do you think it is true animals take on the personality of their owners? i hope not. because if that is true i am seriouslyyy fucked up.

2/19/2008 12:13:17 AM

sucks my dick when i say so



















i love sandpaper

2/19/2008 12:14:01 AM

My Callie :

She likes to lick things . . like the shower liner, plastic bags . . .
She meows at me every time i look at her
She paws at my mouth, face, head when i am in bed to pet her
Vomits on everything

Kitty:
Must open everything that is closed including all doors in the house and all cabinets she can reach. If she can't open them she will meow and stand on her hind legs and scratch the door.
Is obsessed with the bathroom and laying in the sink. Wants to drink from the faucet. Has to be in there whenever i am in there for any reason
Also likes to sit on the side of tub with tail in water when i am in it
Also likes to hang out between the shower curtains when i am in it
Has destroyed my bedroom blinds trying to butt her way between them and the window so she can see out
Has decided that she likes to sleep IN the bed, UNDER the covers now and will root down in them
Tears around the room at odd hours of the night (typical cat)
Meows loudly and plaintively if she can't find me
Also plays fetch with her toys.

I forgot, she also spends 20 minutes trying to cover stuff in the litter box by scratching on anything and everything BUT the litter.

^ haha your cat and my cat are soulmates. they must have missed the litter box instructional video. cats are so great. i love dogs. but my cat has so much personality (that is sometimes a bad thing and really annoying)

2/19/2008 12:23:52 AM

can we put a camera on the cat and stream it over the web?

2/19/2008 12:26:17 AM

I demand satirical caturdays based on these odd quirks!

2/19/2008 12:29:41 AM

hahah yes
personality, they has it

2/19/2008 12:32:23 AM

oh holy fuck

your cat is cuter than mine

And Mindy will do shit like
- watch me shower
- chase the shadow of her tail
- drink out of my glasses (but not my bf's...I'm the one who drinks filtered water)
- go bonkers over some Qtips and hair bands
- give me 'baths'

Yes.
She will headbutt me to wake me up and feed her
She'll headbutt the covers to be let in
Attacks the covers if I move my hands under them - but not my feet

I could go on and on, but I have to be going to bed. Where she will join me the MOMENT I make a kissy noise.

ha, my aunt had a cat that was a horny little bitch. She'd run around humping everything and apparently thought she was a male dog cause she'd try to fuck my aunt's chihuahua. And the dumb dog was apparently a fruitcake and liked it because he'd growl if you tried to pull them apart.

2/19/2008 12:56:17 AM

my cat
-refuses to acknowledge the presence of humans unless she is hungry
-she lets the dog lick the inside of her ears
-she will play peek-a-boo on good days around doors
-hates being pet by anyone but me, but im at home the least out of my family
-sucks
-wont die
-is generally a cat, minus the cool playful and following you around parts

2/19/2008 1:02:52 AM

I can't be the only one to think showering with your cat is creepy...?

2/19/2008 1:39:15 AM

you're not
i thought my faces were sufficient

2/19/2008 1:42:52 AM

yep, definitely creepy. I experience it daily and have yet to get used to it.

I like cats better since I found out they eat bugs for you

2/19/2008 10:04:38 AM

^ haha true.

this isn't so much weird as it is annoying. i woke up this morning to a broken coffee mug i had left out on the counter. SOMEONE tried to drink out of it and smashed it all over the floor in the middle of the night

2/19/2008 12:13:31 PM

you should have put it in the sink

2/19/2008 12:16:17 PM

^My cat destroys any insect that has the misfortune of wandering into my living space. I will come home from work and she will have pulled all of its legs of an presented them to me at the front door.

Also she purrs really loudly when I'm in bed, right next to my face. Occasionally she will wake me up by smelling my face with her cold nose. When I push her away, she tries it a few more times, then gets aggravated and proceeds to make as much noise and be as annoying as possible until I throw her in the closet for the rest of the night.

2/19/2008 12:19:02 PM

My cat (baci)
-also sits between the shower curtains and watches me
-also missed the class on covering her poo in the litter box
-plays fetch up and down the staircase
-is merciless with bugs, rips off legs and wings before she finally eats the torso
-cries and goes out of her way to the rug/carpeted area when she has to puke
-has horrendous breath
-likes morning breath, she licks my mouth and nose to wake me up
-loses her shit over catnip
-has to put her paw in her water before she'll drink it, sometimes slapping the water out all over the floor
-will fight you over blueberry yogurt
-never scratches, but has left more than one person with scars on their nose from a bite when they tried to make her give kisses

2/19/2008 12:24:35 PM

^ don't ask me. she gets inthere and chases her tail and goes all nuts. then somehow she gets her claw caught on the door and closes it. she isn't technically locked in because she could just push it back open. but it is yet to be determined whether or not she has the brain capacity to realize this!!

2/19/2008 12:27:19 PM

seriously "mommy"?

seriously?

2/19/2008 12:30:33 PM

don't hate. she is probably the only child i will ever have. you can't lock real babies in the bathroom when they get annoying. or maybe you can. i just have to draw the moral line somewhere

[Edited on February 19, 2008 at 12:34 PM. Reason : disclaimer...that wasn't serious. oh and the mommy thing is gay, too. don't ask why i put that.]

2/19/2008 12:33:50 PM

Your "weird" cat sounds a helluva lot like my cat.

Seriously, like 90% of those things...my cat does them too.

2/19/2008 1:39:26 PM

Oh my god, your cat is adorable, khcadwal. I'm in love.

My cat, Boots, has a few quirks.

1. He will only eat from his food bowl (even if it's FULL of food) if you sprinkle just a few "new" peices of cat food on top.
2. He likes sitting in the bathroom sinks, even if they're wet.
3. He'll eat raw dough! (My dad was baking, and Boots was absolutely fascinated by the process. So my dad, being the type of guy he is, dropped a glob of leftover dough onto Boots, and it ended up on the floor. Boots licked it for a while, and then ate it whole.) And yet he's picky about meats - chicken and shrimp only.

2/19/2008 7:00:11 PM

2/19/2008 7:03:01 PM

^These people have cat fetishes

2/19/2008 7:09:10 PM

My cat Dammit (yes he has fully earned his name)
- Will shit beside his litter box at least once a day (no he's not "missing", i have seen the process and it is intentional and usually anger/spite driven)
- When very angry at me will do the above with even more vengence
- Tries to bury his food bowl (paws all around it, up the wall, etc) and does this with any other food items
- Makes regular escape attempts
- Loves to chew on anything plastic
- Loves water...in all and any forms including bathwater, toilet water, sink water, etc
- If I ever leave the laptop open, there Will be keys missing (i currently cannot find F7, F8, F10 and Num Lock)
- If I leave the apt I can hear him yeowling at the window then he climbs up in the blinds and tries to claw his way out
- He plays fetch with his jingly ball but he prefers to do this activity in the early hours of the morning


This is what I woke up to yesterday morning...I have yet to figure out how he got the beans out of the cabinet


[Edited on February 19, 2008 at 7:18 PM. Reason : pict]

2/19/2008 7:14:48 PM

Oh yeah

...Mindy has to "kill" her first bite of cat food
And she seriously loses her shit over sugar-free rice pudding. She's normally a gentle cat, and the claws stay in when she tries to escape your arms, but if there's a cup to lick, the claws come out

2/19/2008 8:24:19 PM

I have two cats...one male and one female

The female:
1. Lays in seductive poses until the male pays attention to her
2. Will only drink out of the toilet...
3. Loves the toilet even more when someone forgets to flush
4. Eats any live flowers that are brought into the apartment
5. Likes to carry off earrings, bracelets, anything shiny
6. Likes to rub her face all over yours
7. Will not use the litter box when the dryer is on

The male:
1. Makes the weirdest noises ever made by a cat
2. runs through my shelf of pictures just to knock them down
3. Lays in the sink
4. Somehow makes his way to the top of the refridgerator
5. Watches me bathe
6. runs head on into doors/couches/etc.
7. Apparently hates the coushins on our dining room chairs...because he always knocks them off
8. Watches TV

^4 hahahaha one time i woke up and my cat had pulled a bag of flour off the counter and ripped it open and dragged it around the kitchen/downstairs. i came down and there was just flour everywhere. she had dragged it into my roommates room downstairs and all over her clothes. and there were little white footprints all over the carpet

2/20/2008 1:38:31 AM

i guess i was under the impression that cats didn't like water. but i guess other peoples cats like to play in it too. i just thought the majority didn't.

2/20/2008 1:43:29 AM

i wish khcadwal would stop flirting with me so much

2/20/2008 2:53:39 AM

here we go

2/20/2008 2:55:27 AM

^^^ My cat used to carry off crazy shit when he was a kitten. I think he was only a couple months old at the time. He'd somehow open the kitchen cabinet and carry off a bag of bagels or pita bread that was bigger than him, jump over a baby gate with it, and drag it down the hall into the bathroom and throw it into the tub. That's where he'd hide things. The weirdest occurence was when I opened the curtain to take a shower and found a pen, a bottle of pills, and a $5 bill.

2/20/2008 2:57:02 AM

fuck this spoiling an animal bullshit. "my cat's picky because he only eats salmon caught from the pacific ocean." fuck that.

My cats either do what I want or I destroy them with the cold spray that we have to kill bugs on plants.

2/20/2008 6:48:30 AM

my cat meows sometimes.

2/20/2008 1:02:27 PM

i used to get black worms to feed my puffers
(black worms are aquatic worms you can get from the fish store, they come in the typical fish bag and you keep 'em in the fridge until you finish feeding them)
i accidently forgot to put the worms back in the fridge.
Kitty (see above) found them, dragged the bag off the table, ate them, dragged the bag up the stairs and then proceeded to vomit them all up all around the house.
