To think my cat is faulty?

An entire bed covered with clean laundry waiting to be packed for a holiday and he has curled up on the only space not taken by laundry, as if to be considerate. AIBU to be concerned at this distinctly unfeline-like behaviour?

Aww that's hilarious! My boy loves to watch a jigsaw being done and may sit in the box awhile but he has a lot to learn from your 3.

My cat likes water. He has to be shut out the bathroom if you are having a bath or shower or he will be in with you. If he follows you in whilst you use the loo or whatever, he meows at the bath as if to say "why are you empteeeee?"

He's not well. You can't go.

Gorgeous cat!
He knows you're going on holiday.
Is he going to a cattery? 🐈

@FelicityBeedle that gps tracker looks mighty uncomfortable Sad

I was at the airport returning from Morocco and was thoroughly patted down by a female security guard. She then stepped back, looked at me in a thoughtful manner and asked “Vous avez un chat?”
Yes, the evidence was there on my black T-shirt, even after a week in Essaouira.

@fairyhouse
It honestly doesn’t bother him, it weighs next to nothing and normally sits at the back of his neck (he’d just wiggled through a tiny gap which loved it). It’s no more obstructive than a collar, and like I say without it he wouldn’t be able to go out

equuscaballus · 05/08/2021 21:17

I think it must be a ginger thing?

Had two gingers now who haven't done this! All my other cats did.

Obviously a fault with the ginger gene!

My last cat was definitely faulty. She wouldn't ride on our robot vacuum.

My friend's cat used the lid with the spare bits in as a litter tray...

I'm a dog person but I love these photos. Mirror/parkour cat and puzzle cat have me belly laughing.

Also enjoying bagged cat and laundry cats 😃

Flibbitygibbit · 05/08/2021 21:32

Of course he should sleep on a pile of clean clothes nicely ironed. You know he would do this . It’s his revenge for going off and leaving him 🤷‍♀️

Haha same re the jigsaw actually stood in the box right in front of me and squatted to do a wee. Managed to bat her away but honestly the CF.

Boiledbeetle · 05/08/2021 21:40

My fluffy overlord says yours is definitely faulty. He asked me to post a photo of how to properly be a cat when faced with an item of clean washing on a bed

[quote NotMyCat]@Babdoc mine is failed. He doesn't catch anything, never scratches furniture, won't go on the worktops.. Blush[/quote]
I was going to say this earlier. In 5 years the only 'catch' mine has ever brought home was a random Christmas bauble...

Tonight she wandered in, and just casually dropped a bloody RAT on my living room carpet 😫

CurbsideProphet · 05/08/2021 22:05

@30degreesandmeltinghere where is your cat? I can't find it in the photo!

NotMyCat · 05/08/2021 22:07

@Lellochip noooooo Blush
He's brought me a leaf once, but I think that was an accident and it got stuck in his mouth Grin he runs away from spiders and lets earwigs sit on his paws

HappyintheHills · 05/08/2021 22:14

@30degreesandmeltinghere - behind the TV?

Constance YABVU in not opening the enormous cat flap 😹
I know, he thought so too! There’s no point explaining to him that three storeys up is not safe for a doofus like him, he already fractured his pelvis last summer some how 😭
