the funny things cats do

Wolfie carries the jingle ball in his mouth and brings it into the bathtub, where he proceeds to play hockey. He seems to enjoy this game the most at 3 am. He uses the big garden tub in the master bath, which is a few feet from my bed.

Well with 3 kits where do I start??? I guess with Chucky who loves to chase and bite my daughter! I hear the screams and have to rescue her from him(When no ones home she will run into a room and close him in there) It’s very funny because she’s the only one he’ll do this to! Then there’s Tonka who’s favorite game is to take a plastic spring up the stairs and bounces it through the banister at me while i’m on the computer, I pick it up and throw it down the hall, she chases it and runs back upstairs and does it over again! She usually does this as I am doing worksheets for the kids at school!

Then there’s Tess aka BG(Bathroom Gargoyle) She spends most of her time sleeping on the back of the bathroom sink, when someone goes in she cuddles with the cold water faucet so you turn it on. she is a water freak! also she is the cat that will join you in the shower, the only problem is once she’s wet she cannot get out of the tub so after you shower you have to remove a drowned cat, who doesn’t like to be picked up???

OK I also have to let you know about Lady Dog(She felt left out) She howls everytime an ambulance, police car or fire truck with the sirens going down the road, Now we live on a very busy road in between 3 hospitals so they go through every 2 to 3 hours. so she sits and howls a lot, It is very funny to watch. also she hates the garbage men she thinks there stealing our garbage!!

Well I’ve only had Salem for about a week now, and I think the funniest thing he does is we have a very big full size mirror on our wall in our bedroom, and he looks in it sees his reflection, looks confused put’s his paw to it, and when he touches it he FREAKS OUT and jumps back and hides under out bed, but in seconds he’s back out doing the EXACT SAME THING.. I’m telling you I can watch that all day!!!

Henry does some of that stuff too!

He loves to chase his tail. I’ve never before had a cat who loved to do this so much. If he sees it, he will chase it for HOURS. If he ever gets on our nerves we just pick him up and put him into a little ball shape so that he has easy access to his tail and he’s happy.

He also likes to sit on the tank of the toilet while I’m in the shower, and howl and howl until we open the curtain so he can see where we are. Slowly he’s getting closer and closer to the water! Now he even jumps into the bathtub, but he doesn’t go under the water yet.

One of the best things is his hatred of the kitchen counter: it’s too high for him to jump up there yet, and so when we do dishes or cook dinner he’s very upset because he can’t see what’s going on. He sits there and howls until he finally climbs up my boyfriends leg to sit on his shoulder, (because he wears pants and Henry knows that his claws won’t hurt him) or if I’m cooking dinner he waits for me to pick him up and put him on my shoulder. (I usually wear skirts and he knows that if my legs are bare his claws will hurt!)

Also when you get mad at him and pick him up and look at him in the face, he just puts his paws out as far as he can reach and tries to gently paw at your face. He knows we think this is adorable and as a result he gets away with EVERYTHING.

Sorry. I could go on forever.

I’m so done now.

When Huddy was a little kitty (before I got him) he and his brother Gizzy got into the pantry and dragged a loaf of bread around the house. My niece was laughing so hard she didn’t even care that they’d ruined an entire loaf of bread.

Maverick jumps up and down like a Jack Russell terrier if he sees ANYTHING moving on the patio.

i just got a few headbonks from Velvet. she led me to the kitchen and showed me her empty canned cat food bowl…

it’s about time for her evening feed anyway (dry food is available 24/7/365)

Just today Bobbi Sue saw that my Mom was angling the vacuum toward her favorite toy mousie and she ran lickity split over in front of the vicious monster vaccum to SAVE it and ran upstairs with it. My kirries always keep me laughing.

Cheetah Boy plays fetch with the little rings from the tops of milk bottles. He’ll bring that thing back to you a hundred times as long as you keep throwing it for him. Sometimes when we leave the level we’re on and go upstairs, he stays below. Then he realizes he’s all alone and starts crying. We have to go to the top of the stairs and yell down “We’re up here”. Then he comes running up like he’s been lost for hours. He just never learns that if he can hear noise upstairs, there’s probably people up there. You have to yell for him.

Squeaky Shoes isn’t much of a mover; she’s a little lump most of the time. But when she needs a catnip fix, she rolls over on her back and holds the catnip mouse in her paws. Then she rolls from side to side, holding the catnip up to her face. Because she is a chunky girl with lots of extra belly fur, her whole tummy flops over to the side each time she rolls. She’ll do it for 5 minutes or more.

My Squint always welcomes me home from work. As I walk across the grass telling him what a sweet boy he is, he flops over on his back (all 17 pounds of him!) for a belly rub. It is just precious, I tell ya!

My cat always has to come and rub his body and tail against my leg when I’m sitting on the toilet. What does this mean?
