To think my cat is doing this on purpose??? Sorry it's a bit gross.

[HeffalumpTheFlump]

Pretty much every time I make something to eat my cat suddenly decides that she needs a shit and must use the litter tray immediately! I eat and serve dinner at different times every day, so it can't just be that her shitting routine coincides with our eating pattern.

She's a housecat so I can't kick her out while we are eating. It's just so off putting, especially as she always comes into the room we are eating in afterwards, sits infront of us and licks her arse (usually while staring at me ).

She must be doing this on purpose surely?? I pointed it out to DH and he said I was being bonkers, but has now realised that she is doing it at pretty much every mealtime!! She is known to be quite a jerk in other areas, so it really wouldn't surprise me if there was some sort of evil intent behind this!

Heffalump Your DH is playing right into the cat's paws, she's definitely an evil genius!

Mine falls off things. Twice off the conservatory roof - next door must think I am throwing cats at them. Once out of the upstairs bedroom window. Once off the banister and down the stairs.
I had thought that cats were elegant until I met her.

If I laugh at her, she jumps on the shelves and deliberately knocks things on to the floor to punish me.

She also broke into a friend's soft top car and triggered the alarm.

I do not think this is normal.

One of my cats used to climb onto shelves and slowly knock all my knick knacks off...the bitch. Maybe she was a MNer professing her distate at my twigs and pebbly shit

She also used to fall off things, especially tops of radiators when she fell asleep lounging in the heat...

She would also scale the doors so that she could be higher than the humans and would randomly throw herself off onto your shoulders when you walked past, much to the alarm of my cat hating exBF
She was a great mouser though

My kitten always has a shit when we eat dinner, whatever time it happens to be.

Our cat has her litter tray in the bathroom and likes using it when I'm having a poo. I quite look forward to our mutual pooing sessions.

She is a demanding diva and will only drink running water from the bath. If presented with a bowl of fresh water curls her lip up Elvis style as a display of disgust.

She is very gentle and sweet natured though.

I'd love it if they would just go outside!

You would have loved Claudia, she taught herself to use the toilet, much easier than a tray.

I am awake and joining this thread after being patted on the nose until I got up and fed my nuisance cat, (the cat was doing the patting, bugger). When I opened the door to let him out his best friend was practically leaning on it. he calls for him every day, never this early though.

He and his friend are always together, wrestling and playing, it's funny as our old cat was very much a solitary creature where other cats were concerned.

yanbu, cats can be dicks

Alex aw that is very cute. I wish our little un could find a wee cat pal. She does the walking on your and meowing in the middle of the night to check you are still alive.

One of our cats had a mate who would be waiting at the door every morning as well. It was soo cute. The mate had had a front leg amputated and LackadaisyCAT would lie down and let him rest his stump on him...bless

Can I just ask, those of you whose cats join you in the bathroom for your toilet activities. Do you not close the door? My cat would happily come and stare at me while I pee/poo but I always close the door.

However this doesn't stop her from slowly running her claws down it from the outside in a whiny 'muuuuuum' sort of fashion.

her litter tray is in the bathroom and if I shut her out when she wanted a poo, the best case scenario would be a scratched to buggery carpet and non-stop meowing.

The worst, would be her crimping off a shite just outside the bathroom door because she couldn't get to the litter tray.

Sashh, how did you train your cat to use the toilet?

My old cat used to somehow manage to be sitting on the Windowsill by the front door licking his arse as the postman arrived every damn morning. He also would walk all over my car bonnet within minutes of me washing the car and going inside. His other favourite trick was to shit in the planter outside the next door neighbours front door as they pulled into the drive from work. He really was a minger of a cat!

This is similarly irritating - DD settles down for an unbelievably smelly dump if I have the audacity to have a Saturday morning soak
