To be really creeped out by my cat?

He pissed in the bath and 'buried' it down the plughole. WTF?!

Other weird things he does-

Magically appears everywhere like a stalker
Stares at me intently whilst im in the bath
Jumps off the bedroom furniture as hard as he can whilst im in bed to make a THUMP noise because its 5am and he wants breakfast
Refuses to eat sardines ever since i hid some worming tablets in them
Waits by the patio door to be let in- as soon as i open it he runs off
Loves sunflower oil (caught him licking the frying pan when i was making some pancakes)
He also buries his food bowl with my dirty laundry next to the washing machine.

Why do i have such a weird fucking cat?!

I had one who would wake me up in the morning by dribbling on my face

Ours swap bowls half way through eating. The bowls contain exactly the same food but clearly they need to check that one isn’t getting a better deal Grin

The kitten actually gets into bed with us and lies under the duvet. She has been known to wake me up by biting my toes at 3am which is just lovely Hmm

The big one ignores the cat beds/sofas/beds and sleeps on a suit carrier under our bed, or in a doll’s house amongst various dolls and furniture. And when she’s in there we are absolutely not allowed to stroke her, any attempt is met with a death stare and bite if we aren’t quick enough to move away.

I swear mine wears concrete boots-she makes more noise jumping off the bed than the dogs do.(Spaniels, so not lightweights)

One of my cats decided he could only drink from a running tap (thanks, XH Hmm). If I got to my feet to go to the loo, he would race ahead of me and jump into the sink so that the water could be turned on for him. He would lie there quite happily as the water cascaded over him. And if I tried to fool him by going to the other bathroom, he would run between my feet to trip me up so he still won!

He's been gone 10 years, was with me far too short a time, and I still miss him loads!

DKillerSpiderCat is a persistent napper. She seizes every opportunity to catch a few zzzz.

mine drink the bubbly water after youve been in the shower, and then proceed to sick it up again, they cry if you lock them out of the bathroom, they also like to drink out of the running taps and the toilet instead of their own water bowl, they follow me around the house like little shadows too

I still remember the time my cat decided to investigate the remains of a KFC bucket we'd finished eating.
Stuck her head in, came out with a chip packet stuck on her head and freaked out.
We did move the bucket as I didn't want her eating chicken bones, but she managed to snaffle a bit of the coating and then freaked out for a good ten minutes.
Ah cats. They can't get over that we don't worship them as gods any more.

I recall having 5 kittens at one point growing up, I lived near my primary school so walked there, they followed me and I was trying to leave them back which was keeping me late.

One of the mothers who was passing saw my predicament and offered to try and hold them back from following, 5 kittens who were intent on following me was very hard to hold back and that mother with the help of my own mother, spent almost 3 hours containing the kittens as every time they put one down, off it went in the direction I went in. They didn't have a crate so finally, the kittens were contained within my old playpen with fencing mesh over the top.

My cat pooped in the bath and we were really WTF until we realised that the cat flap was locked and she couldn't get out (DH had locked it so the other cat wouldn't leave the house before vet appointment and forgot to reopen).

Once I realised that I was really impressed cat had pooped in the easiest place to clean up - thoughtful cat!

Smurfcat has a preference for waking me up sometimes in the early morning

and as Im not responding (due to being asleep cos that's unreasonable obviously) so she gets onto my chest gently and starts reversing her starfish towards my chin as often as needed to get a response and to get me as her human to wake up (cos its obviously feeding/treat time), - its not -

I still won't feed her till her set time, she has free dry food and water available to her so will not starve,

She goes to the bathroom with me as well, however, I have made a warning sign for visitors who use the bathroom to check her whereabouts before using the toilet,

Obviously, nothing to do with the 2 occasions that as someone sat on the toilet to start to do their business unaware they had furry company, someone furry stood up behind the toilet on back paws and licked their ass cheek, they were in the right place to crap themselves but the scream was piercing in both cases as was so unexpected.

All cats are weird. My current mad feline:
Is obsessed with drinking water out of any receptacle other than her bowl (this includes the toilet and half finished drinking glasses)
Tries to kill me by running in front of my feet
Asks to be let out and comes in one minute later
Follows me to bed and waits until I get in then sits on my chest. She won’t sit on my lap normally.
Previous cats have
Followed me to the station miaowing the whole time - that got embarrassing
Shagged furry slippers that I had to start hiding from him as he was going hammer and tongs (was supposed to be neutered).

My cat had a top entry litter box and occasionally she'd just jump on top of it and pee over the side onto the floor.

She also liked having a shower but if I gave her a bath I was clearly trying to kill her.

I read this thread yesterday, had a laugh about how fucking psycopathic cats are, then thought no more of it.

Put the cats to bed last night (they were definitely all where they were supposed to be; I give them all dreamies before I go upstairs)...then was woken up at 5.30 by a soft little fuzzy face nudging my hand. HOW? Why are so many cats apparently able to teleport? I’m not entirely comfortable with this development. I’m sure I saw one of my cats smiling the other day. They’re clearly all up to something.

(They’re put to bed downstairs because otherwise one of them stands on my head, yells directly into my face, does high speed parkour round the bedroom, and prods me very slowly and deliberately on the nose with her paw. For hours. Every time I go to bed. She’s an adorable little dickhead).

Mine steals baths. If you are filling the tub, the door must be shut firmly or you will return to a cat luxuriating in your bath water.

She also steals food constantly and has been known to jump up and take bites out of food we are actively biting. Her favorite things to steal are sticks of butter and lollipops.

My cat is a massive twat and does most of the things on this thread. Pissing in the bath is one of his more normal behaviours. Twat.

Mine bangs on the door where she is shut downstairs to let me know it's breakfast time - at 5 am. She's shut downstairs because otherwise she wakes me up by putting a paw on my face and slowly, gradually, extending her claws into me. She also loves towels and will demand that anyone getting out the shower pick her up so she can sit in their towelled lap and be stroked. I do love the tiny weirdo!

Mine magically appears everywhere and does the patio thing.

She doesn’t just stare whilst I’m in the bath, but stands on the edge and walks round me, staring at me the entire time.

When she wants breakfast in the morning she will knock literally everything off my Bedside table before batting me on the nose over and over

She loves to sit on plastic bags, and will lick them over and over.


Cats are weird. That’s why I love them.

Mine hugs my feet...
He also gives high 5 and can open doors.
He knows where we keep the treats and steals them all before his older brother can get any and will headbutt anyone who isn't showing him enough attention.
