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?!

My cat has a thing for cotton buds, he opens the bathroom bin and steals away with his treasure. I've tried to follow him, to see where he puts them, but have never been successful. That's going to be a weird discovery when his collection is un earthed Confused

@MooseBeTimeForSnow.. that's hilarious. That face! Reminds me of my dear late Mother too! Grin

Ours is like putty in my dd's hands. They often sit snuggled up and once when she was little he snuck onto the shopping tray of the pram when we went to the shops! When I realised I was in a busy high street but he just stayed on the tray and enjoyed the ride Grin

One of mine stares at me every bath time and sometimes tries to get in and sit on my chest. He also always sits on my feet if I'm on the toilet.

My other one (who is actually quite old) is able to launch himself at closed doors inside the house, to the extent that he can open them. He also begs like a dog for food, drinks out of any cup he finds and loves laying flat out on his back with his legs splayed.

Strange creaturs.

Aren’t cats smashing eh ❤️

That almighty elephantine THUD noise you hear when a cat jumps off the furniture upstairs...

In our house we call it the CatBonk, and we take it as a sign that they have snoozed for long enough and are now feeling peckish.

MotorcycleMayhem · 07/03/2019 21:37

Will have full conversations with you
Still hisses at the dog after 2 years
Tries to batter ten bells out of any unsuspecting cats that enters our garden (she's an indoor cat) and is a dirty dirty fighter
Gives epic dirty looks
Everyone says she should be cast in a Bond film
Is a total princess
Only weighs 3kg

Mine drinks water out of the sink, even though he has fresh water in his bowl.

He gets lost all time, and I have to walk him back home if he ventures a little too far than normal
I believe he thinks he's dog, he walks along side of me during the school run every day
Waits in a bush once he gets to the road and pops back out and follows back home on the way back.
Oh, he's also a food snob, loves Sheeba, gourmet, but turns his nose up at aldi

My cat kills toilet rolls and tissues and wrapping paper and the post! I come home every day to shredded paper 2 teenagers are oblivious to the mess and step over it but she is proud of herself keeping us safe from all these dangers in the house

Our yard cat loves to ride on the back on my horse! He's the most cuddley feral cat I've ever met.
My older cat at home, does the staring at you whilst you sleep, I mean a few inches away from your face. Always freaks guests out!

Threeminis · 07/03/2019 22:52

@MooseBeTimeForSnow
She is beautiful! So elegant

MooseBeTimeForSnow · 07/03/2019 22:56

Thanks all. She’s a Siberian.

Newadventure · 07/03/2019 22:56

Exs cat only comes to you when called via tambourine.

FetchezLaVache · 07/03/2019 23:00

@wheresmymojo that's because he's a mere cat!

I'll get me coat.

SammySamSam09 · 07/03/2019 23:02

My cat sits next to me at the table and eats her dinner with the rest of the family...oh no wait you said weird cats not weird owners..oops

HerRoyalFattyness · 07/03/2019 23:17

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.

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 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!

Myfoolishboatisleaning · 08/03/2019 00:54

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.

Purpleartichoke · 08/03/2019 06:02

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.

Here are my two.

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).

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.

JustDanceAddict · 08/03/2019 07:54

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).
