yep, sounds normal to me, kittens are just kids with fur... Naughty, mischeivious with absolutely no common sense or fear. Just spent 20 mins watching next door's kitten in our willow tree, about 15 foot up trying to catch magpies! Fool.

very normal they only stop when they are a bit older and have been snipped!

Hassled · 06/06/2008 09:39

I'm afraid I don't think it is normal - none of my many cats (not all at once, I mean over the course of my life) have gone roaming the city streets to that extent. The bird stuff/roof climbing is normal though.

They need cat asbos! Were they feral before you got them? What sex are they and are they neutered?

JRocks · 06/06/2008 09:42

Very normal - and sometimes they don't grow out of it We were followed all the way through the village by a ginger cat on the way home from the pub the other night (us, not the cat)

Half a wing sounds pretty tame, wait until you're presented with a headless bunny!

I think it's normal. We had a cat that used to follow us everywhere when i was little. Followed us all the way down to the high street, into shops, through the park etc It did always follow us back home again too though.

Hassled · 06/06/2008 09:44

So it seems that it is normal, it's just that I have never had a following cat. I feel cheated.

BiancaCastafiore · 06/06/2008 09:47

Our cat roams a lot too, not on his own so much but he'll follow us to school/shops. We now chase him homewards making growling noises as we're leaving then leg it as fast as we can out of sight which seems to have stopped him.

We must look a sight!

i have 4 of them, buggers the whole lot! they are 4 weeks.

IllegallyBrunette · 06/06/2008 14:18

Our cat is about 2 or 3 now , we got her at 1 yr old, and she still follws us just over half way to school.

She stops at the main road Then when I walk home, and cross over main road she jumps out of a bush and tries to trip me up the rest of the way home.

Jazzicatz · 06/06/2008 14:18

We live in a rural area and we walk the dog around a large field - the cat sometimes walks round with us. We look like a family of nutters!

Yes, sounds normal, it is having two at the same time, nightmare, nearly drove me mad.

Ours are 1 today I think and have been a lot better the last few months, had a dead rat though yesterday morning. Before that they were very hard work and I swear DS was a breeze in comparison.

Luckily these two don't tend to wander far but the previous cat used to go to school, I got complaints as he was a little unpredictable. He finally left home to go and move in with a Jehovah Witness guy who fed him fresh chicken daily and calmed him right down.

mine jump on my feet as soon as i go near them and run up my legs. They have to go though, not keeping any.

IllegallyBrunette · 06/06/2008 14:29

I wish mine would find God and bugger off.

Not meaning to be nasty, but we just don't get on.

meridian · 06/06/2008 14:31

its normal... and once they start following you out thats it they keep doing it... our cat Alys is a year old.. luckily she wont go out the front gate but she does follow me everywhere if i'm in the garden... though not into the greenhouse for reasons known only to her...

wannaBe · 06/06/2008 14:32

normal.

One of mine used to regularly jump out of upstairs windows if she was shut in.

And one night she somehow managed to get up on to the roof of a house. A two story house might I add - have absolutely no idea how she got up there.

Idobelieveinfairies · 06/06/2008 14:32

awwww that is sad scorpio1....

I have solved the digging up of plants problem, 4 or 5 medium sized pebbles placed on top of the soil has done the trick!

just need to sort out the running up of curtains-one of them is getting a bit on the heavy side now so he has stretched the wire that the muslin was hanging on-dosne't matter that much as the muslin was scratched and pulled to bits..but i do need to get another one up!

scorpio1 · 06/06/2008 14:34

when can they go? someone told me 6 weeks.

mine too. DH doesn't want them to go at all. i thought about ten weeks?

vickyB22 · 06/06/2008 14:40

mine used to run up the curtains. we invested in some water pistols. they don't run up the curtains anymore. oh, you have to look the other way after you 'shoot' them, so they don't know who did it therefore associate the water with the curtain climbing & not you (if you see what i mean??)
