Weird cat things. Share yours

No advice re cats.
My mother's cats like to hide in her lazy Susan in her corner kitchen cabinet. They are siblings and will run to it together whenever she opens it. The first time it happened she had the entire neighborhood out looking for them. She was convinced they had gotten out of her house.

I got home from vacation on Sunday early afternoon. Chloe dropped in on the cats periodically through the week. But they were primarily alone. My cat Maggie yelled at me all evening Sunday and all day yesterday. Finally today she is quiet and sleeping in my bed. But she was so angry we left her.

The mischievous guy in my avatar has a thing about opening cabinets and unloading the contents, then leaving the cabinet open for me to see. He thinks it's fun. Cat. get a hobby!

I love all cats.

My five year old DSH tortoiseshell cat licks the sticky lint rollers. She’s obsessed with them. So weird.

Hmm... I mean, most things Bess does are weird.

However, one of my favorite stories will always be from the apartment we were living in when we brought her home. DH was in the kitchen (probably making coffee). He turns to get something out of the drawer and notices one of them moving in and out. He thought the apartment was haunted until he realized Bessie was pawing at the drawer while sitting in the cabinet below it.

She's a goober and gets herself into places she shouldn't be, but we love her. She also waits for me outside the door when I'm in the bathroom. Occasionally I'll hear her batting at the cabinet under the bathroom sink. There is literally nothing in there for her (unless she wants 28 rolls of TP). She knows how to get into the cabinets in the kitchen, but if they close behind her, she's clueless. She's started pawing at the Ikea shelves we have that have doors, but I think they're just a pinch too heavy for her to actually open.

Sputnik likes to be rolled with the lint roller. Like, full kitty bliss…lol.

Hubble knows how to open my sewing room door. I had to put a lock on it to keep him out. He also tucks himself into his favorite blanket on the couch. So it’s never safe to assume that a throw blanket is “unoccupied” around here.

Kepler requires you to throw a single piece of kibble down the hallway, every time you feed them, so she can chase it, “kill” it and gobble it down. Lol

Dusty (2) doesn't like to be cold...in the cooler weather he will snuggle under the covers at night and during the day, he'll wiggle his way under my sweater etc...to take a nap (while I'm wearing it). He knows his name and unlike most cats, will actually come when called most of the time -often with a cute little warble sound. He likes to keep track of where I am and will follow me when I switch rooms

Pad-Bear(2) likes to wrap around DH's ankles for petting - she tends to hold on rather tight but thankfully only when he's wearing jeans most of the time. She's also not the most agile of kitties - she's quite nervous about jumping up on stuff and stands and considers the distance carefully before making the attempt.

Mini(13) is determined that he's one of the kittens and since we adopted them, has mimicked their voices and re-discovered playing with toys. He desperately wants to play with them but Pad-Bear will have no part of it. Everytime he's close enough to Dusty though, he'll grooom him on the top of the head...ever since Dusty was a tiny 8oz 5-week old kitten - we always say that Mini knows that you have to keep kittens clean. He did try it once with Pad-Bear and she hissed indignantly and he's not been brave enough to try again.

Tabby who passed earlier this year was our Parkour kitty - he would sleep on the back of dining room chair, the top of the (flat-screen) TV, the peaked roof of the kitty scratching house...all sorts of spots that didn't look comfortable.
