Cats a dickhead 🤣

Anyone else got a cat that’s a complete dickhead.

I have one very well behaved older cat and we recently decided to add another one to the mix.

He is an absolute terror 🤣. We leave for holiday tomorrow and I finished deep cleaning the house for the house sitter. Put everything away.

Walk back into the kitchen and he has somehow found (I have no idea how as they are kept in an enclosed glass jar) a tea bag.

Hes ripped it open and dragged it across three rooms leaving a trail of it everywhere. Got an emergency appointment at the vet incase he’d ingested it.

He’s fine.

Every day something 🤣🤣 picture of the culprit attached

Strange question OP, but is your kitten around 13/14 weeks old? If so I wonder if he’s brother to my rescue kitten who is equally gorgeous but a total handful!

That’s cats. There are days when I really can’t understand why we love them so much.

Today one of the cats performatively puked behind the heated fish tank, over DH’s borrowed camera bag for work, plus most of the kitchen floor. No obvious reason.

She has previously regurgitated entire rats on my bedroom floor, left small heaps of innards on the kitchen and bathroom floors, released live moths into my bedroom at 3am, released live mice and rats into my bedroom at 3am, and done her soul-rending “please fix this, my life is as a desert drear” wail because the rodent she brought into my bedroom to kill in comfort has stopped working. At 3am.

Her sister? Never caught anything, never makes a sound.

We used to have an elderly ginger scrote of a tom who specialised in puking into the set top box. Interesting fact: if you let the cat hair and dust build up enough then it stops the vomit from dripping in through the holes. Lazy housewife for the win!

We're getting another kitten this week. I hope she’s nice.

New meaning given to 'tea bagging'. Sorry, couldn't resist 😉

Just because... cat 😂.

Of course, how could I ask such a question of these supreme beings! ☺️

Account734 · 31/08/2025 14:46

The culprit is gorgeous OP!!! His picture tells a completely different story to your post, butter wouldn't melt. 😍

He was and absolutely spoilt rotten!

My cat is a little monster but when he cuddles me all is forgiven.

PlacidPenelope · 31/08/2025 14:25

Shelly369 · 31/08/2025 14:17

Ahh, I’m sorry. He sounded like a proper character, bless him.

Sadly Cat is no longer with us.

He had many weird phoibles - only a small Fairy Liquid bottle was allowed on the draining board, not a large one. MIL had to make sure her special little knife was hidden if left out it would end up under the cooker. In-Laws stopped using the tea leaf dispenser after the incident!

By the way @PlacidPenelope

Please can you get them to put a camera up in their kitchen!

I've just got a kitten who is terrorising the household, scratching and biting everything despite plenty of scratching posts, climbing trees, cardboard scratches and lots of playtime!

😂 I always say mines and arsehole. Someone at work said that was horrible, went to someone else with a cat and first thing she said was hers is an arsehole 😂.
(When it uploads) I have attached a photo of said arsehole being an arsehole. I had just cleaned up 🤦‍♀️

😂

Matsukaze · 31/08/2025 13:56

Ahhh he is too cute! What's his name and how old is he?

I got a kitten last year and he was a total dickhead but thankfully has calmed down a lot now!

OakleyStreetisnotinChelsea · 31/08/2025 13:56

Mine is an utter twat. Wouldn't have him any other way. Bin raiding idiot that he is. He loves to leave small collections of internal organs in strategic places on the floor ready for us to squish our bare toes in to in the morning while bleary eyed and not paying attention. I do so love the feel of entails around my toes.

My In-laws can beat the teabag incident:

Cat slept in the kitchen overnight. In-laws had a tea leaf dispenser thing on the wall of the kitchen that you pressed a button on to get the required amount of tea leaves for the pot (you can see where this is going can't you). During the night the cat decided to allow the tea leaves to escape by pressing said button and whacking the tea leaves as they came out, this process continued until the dispenser was empty. In-laws got up in the morning to make their morning cuppa to find the kitchen covered in tea leaves and one very smug cat sitting there saying Look at my work!.

This has me absolutely howl! Thank you!

AtlanticStar · 31/08/2025 13:32

Gorgeous photo. Is the cat not happy to be sharing space with another cat? Ours wouldn't tolerate any other cat. Is she kicking off in protest?? Also, can I have your cat?

Thankfully the Cat is fairly normal. It’s the dog that’s a complete dickhead. This morning she got hold of a used sanitary towel and ran round the garden like an absolute loon before eating the flaming thing 🤢

Mumofsoontobe3 · 31/08/2025 13:02

Oh look at that little sweet face, like butter wouldn't melt! 🥰
I too have a dickhead cat, actually I have 3. One is more chaotic than the others though, he likes to sneak into my poor neighbours house and have a sneak at what's for dinner, once dragging a piping hot piece of chicken through the cat flap. Thankfully DN seen the humour in it. I've recently been sent a photo of said cat snuggling up next to her massive German Shepard. No, she doesn't have a cat and the dog hasn't been socialised with cats. I don't have a dog either. Cat just fancied a cuddle and found the hottest and cosiest thing outside. They were having a snuggle in the garden in the sunshine just a few weeks ago! 🌞
I have a really wonderful neighbour though and she loves them. We now send Christmas presents to each others pets. Wrapped and all. 😂

I think tea leaves were a way of cleaning rugs many years ago? Maybe he was just trying to help in a Victorian fashion?

Definitely this, they only care about how they can help.
