What stupid/funny/weird things does your cat do?

[One, Two, Middlesboogie]

This topic is for all cat owners!

My cat, Doris, loves eating bread ( ), and my brother and I have nicknamed her 'Meatloaf', because when she lies down she tucks her tail and limbs underneath her so she looks like a black furry meatloaf with a head!

My mother's cat, Minou, also likes bread, but she also likes sweetcorn! And she does even more weird things. She actually likes the feel of plastic, which most cats hate. If she finds a plastic carrier bag she'll sleep on it!
She also does meows at least 8 seconds long (her record is 14 seconds), and likes chasing moths and frogs rather than mice and birds.

Both cats also often sit staring into space with their toungues sticking out. That looks deeply silly!

What do your cats do that is funny or daft? If you have any photos of your cat, post them here too! I have some, but I haven't uploaded them yet. I'll do it later.

All of your cat 'weird' things are perfectly normal and common behavior. Cats will eat anything from baked beans to slug pellets. Bread and sweatcorn and as exotic as some of the things our feline friends consumpt regularly, given half the chance. My two cats shared a dragonfly just tonight.

A cat's meaow is entirely urbanised. In the wild the only time cats purr is when they are kittens and they want to talk to their mother. Interestingly, cats consider their owners as their mothers. Even if they're male! It is because the defenition of a mother in cat is 'the person that feeds me'. If a cat feeds itself, then they have no mother. They consider us our mothers, and so they meaow to talk to us. My ginger tabby's meaow is more of a chirp, while my sandy tabby actually creaks.

I've never heard of cats hating plastic. Give them a couple of seconds, and most curious cats will leap into a bag or box, usually without even inspecting the inside. This can lead to interesting results if another cat has already done so.

Cats chase anything they want to chase. If that includes moths and frogs, there's nothing wrong. In fact, it's more likely they'll catch insects rather than mice because there's more of them compared to rodents in our modern built up world. Of course, as far as I know you could live in the middle of a jungle, but I'm just saying, generally.

My ginger cat is cross-eyed, and we had some fun watching him run into doorways. He gets bullied by his brother who is not sight-disabled, but has just lately started standing up for himself. The sandy one (Simpson) has started fighting with neighbouring cats again. The ginger one (BT) purrs too much - he purrs if you're threating him badly! Which I don't, of course.

I don´t own a cat. But a guy from my class said some time ago that he styled his cat´s hair (all the hair) with hairspray. he´s from Australia.

Well, someone I know from primary shcool says his cat once made strange sounds, and then someone else from the class phoned (Is that good english?), and the cat then made the sounds in the phone!

My older cat, Spook, is so skiddish!! And she growls and hisses and then the next minute she's all lovey-dovey. She's so weird! My other cat, Smokey, is so darn hyper it's unbelievable!!! AUGH!!

Well we have a boat and my cat likes to rub her head all over the carpet in it and she's real crazy in the morning.
She doesn't do much weird things really.

Besides jumping onto the table while I'm on my computer and rubbing against my face whilst I'm trying to concentrate, my cats pretty normal. Except he's a bit of a feral pest sometimes.

This is because he eats or just kills litte animals more than the average cat. I have added it all up and altogether he has killed, mauled or eaten 25 birds, 15 rats, 6 mice, 4 possums and 3 gold fish. Thats 53 little defenceless creatures he has ripped to pieces and thrown all over my garden.

It's probably because we got him from the RSPCA, and they said he was found on the street when he was a kitten.

My cat's are all preety wierd.
The oldest(My black cat, Angelo) is really skidish. He get's afrid of most anything.

His little brother (My brother's gray cat, Julio) is the complete oppisite. He is afraid of nothin' and no one. He has killed so many birds, mice, moles and once he killed a huge jack rabbit and left in my mom's car. She says it was a sign of affection, I say it was just plain sick!

Then my maincoon mix (Mario) will just come over and lay on your head like it's a bed and use youer hair as a blanket.

Then my mom's kitten (Screech) does not shut up! All day and night it's meow, meow, meow.
He is also the most spolied cat. he comes up to you and will sit there screaming at you until you pick him up or pet him or kiss him.

My cat has been working for weeks on a 30-foot tall indestructible self-powered exoskeleton. Working on the principle that energy never dissipates but is merely transferred to different forms, she's reasoned that, by using the latest biomechanical sensors as employed in such technological breakthroughs as "Dance Dance Revolution", her own body movements will be enough to produce sufficient kinetic force to move the exoskeleton with the exact same agility and speed as she normally moves. It'll never work, of course. It's a violation of the most basic laws of physics. But what does she know? She's just a cat. It's like that time she attempted to poison the water supply with a deadly liquid which turned out, when diluted, to be a harmless cure for the common cold.

Oh, and sometimes she opens her mouth as if to meow, but no sound comes out.

I don't have a cat but if i did then it would be a calico, female but my friend she says her cat when he see's the catnip mouse he grabs on an won't let go I mean literally!
So What she does she put the tiny bit of sting round the door handle then pulls gently and he goes up and does a somersault thing! Wow acrobatic or what
!

My cat (Tiger) is not weird, just spoiled, is it spoiled? You know, treated too good.

She wont eat if the water is on. She wont eat if you dont lift her up and then atleast take out the catfood can out of the fridge. She refuses to leave my mum's place on the sofa. If she's in anyone of ours beds she attacks our toes if we move then. She can possibly never think about eating a rat anywhere else than in my mum's bed. When your inside she cuddles, when your outside she won't let you touch her.

Actually, my cat is strange, but i love her.
