Came home to lovely unusually affectionate cat, who knows the kitchen counters are off limit, only now I come in to decide what me and dh are having for tea and I find a trail of muddy paw prints across the kitchen counters Grin

No - he knows kitchen counters are off limits when you are looking. He's not being naughty he's making a point Grin.

I used to have one that opened the fridge to steal food. We had to put a childproof lock on the door. 😹

Naught Nixon was caught on the worktops scoffing a pack of prawns that I'd took my eyes off for about 2 seconds Envy

He was caught licking the cream off my kitchen aid mixer Envy

He ate some chicken satay off OHs plate when we weren't looking and gave himself the poos of nightmares Envy

Funnily enough they're all food related. We do feed him! He's a little chunk now but when we got him he was a skinny little lad. Daft cat Grin

My cat sometimes pretends to be an alarm clock to wake me.

I normally get up at 5.15 during the week and use my phone's alarm to wake me. The phone is on the nightstand at night.

A couple of months ago, I was ill and stayed at home for two weeks. Obviously, I didn't get up at 5.15 during that time. After a couple of days, I woke up one morning at about 5.30 because my cat was purring loudly - she was sitting on the nightstand and on my phone and looking at me intently.

Since then, she has been doing this at irregular intervals and unfortunately at rather odd times occasionally. A favorite time of her to wake me is currently about 4.30.

But she is a gorgous cat and it is quite impossible to be upset with her.

Mine came home with a leg of lamb ( with meat on it). We didn't make any enquiries to the neighbours.
Another neighbour informed us he went in their house to eat their labradors food.
Current cat is a little angel Smile

We got a second hand rug, been cleaned but dcat still feels the need to pee on it to stake his territory. Been neutered and is house trained. Just hates that bloody rug!!

MrsMrsMrsMrs · 09/11/2018 09:32

Stolen bags of Dreamies from the neighbours! We still haven’t worked out which ones. Just appeared carrying the bag between his teeth on the garden shed and carried it to the house. Must’ve gone through a few gardens first!

He plays fetch like a dog, plays football and sleeps on his back with his legs in the air so he’s definitely a funny one!!!

ToftheB · 09/11/2018 09:41

Mine managed to do a wee in our toaster. I didn’t realise until I tried to use it - the heat super charged the cat wee smell. Absolutely horrific.
She was making a point about me going away for a week. My husband was still at home, but apparently that wasn’t good enough...

My sister had a cat who was a total food snob. Once when she was skint she bought own brand cat treats instead of Dreamies - he took one sniff, turned around and shat in the bowl! All with a haughty look of defiance on his face 😂.

GoodHeavensNoImAChicken · 09/11/2018 09:50

Waking up DP at 4.30am the day of a job interview because she wanted cuddles.

Licked a bowl of sherry trifle until it was clean and was definitely hungover the next day

One day after he arrived as a kitten he pushed a decorative bowl (handmade by my dad for my mum’s birthday) on the floor because it was in his way

TimeToRevolutionize · 09/11/2018 10:08

Not me personally but my sisters cat brought in a dead bird! We walked into the living room and feathers were absolutely everywhere!

Zorayda · 09/11/2018 10:14

Taps the radiator panel and resets all the programming so the heating comes on at random times

Bluebell9 · 09/11/2018 12:21

The worse was peeing in my fully packed suitcase the day before I was due to go on holiday.
I needed to repack to fit more stuff in. The worst part was that for the first few layers of clothes, I couldnt work out if they were wet or not, so I was touching it to my face to see if it was wet or just cold. Until I got to a white top that had a definite yellow ring.

OliviaStabler · 09/11/2018 18:08

Started preparing dinner, went away to do a few chores and came back to the saucepan that I had emptied a tin of peas into to heat later on. It looked odd and then I realised that 'someone' had drunk most of the pea juice out of the saucepan.

I just laughed.

Mentounasc · 09/11/2018 23:24

We've had a few corkers with MentounasCat.

He dragged in a red squirrel, presumably having caught and killed it first. Don't know how because the squirrels round here are aggressive sods. Left it in DD's room, where she trod on it and screamed.

He cleaned out the neighbour's pond of fish - big koi types too. He brought at least 7 of them home to eat. We desperately tried to talk with the neighbour to find solutions (a net in the pond or we'd pay for cat deterrents, as well as compensating for the fish) but he was never answered.

He once didn't like the flavor of his wet food for tea, so demonstratively walked out of the flap, came back 10 minutes later with a dead bird and ate it in front of me, beak and all. Then puked it all up again. Bastard.

Just as well I love him.

Fooferella · 09/11/2018 23:35

My previous cat used to jump on the counter and open the top cupboard where the butter lived and would leave lick marks in it. She once pulled an entire roast chicken off the counter as it was cooling and then growled at us when we took it away. She was a grade A dickhead but I loved her.

OliviaStabler · 10/11/2018 09:53

Christmas dinner. We'd eaten and were happily resting afterwards when we heard rustling from the kitchen. My cat had got up onto the kitchen table, ripped open the layers of foil and was head deep in the turkey. He didn't even have the good grace to look embarrassed!

Vinorosso74 · 11/11/2018 21:33

Various things have been chewed. Our crappy Ikea wooden blinds, nightshade but I discovered this today.... DP can no longer charge his toothbrush.

problembottom · 11/11/2018 21:49

He’s currently got paint on his paws, tail, belly and face. We were very careful to shut him out the nursery while the decorators were here but the little buggar obviously snuck in.

sohypnotic · 11/11/2018 21:51

My cat emptied some poor neighbours pond of fish...having to pick individual sticky smelly scales out of a long haired rug by hand is something I never want to do again...

Trying2bemum · 11/11/2018 22:03

Max has worked out how to open the fragile doors on our antique chest and GET IN IT. His brush and catnip in there and he can't resist. He's pulled the doors clean off at times 🙀

FrankieChips · 12/11/2018 11:19

She hits us in the face when she wants attention. Slaps us with her little paw! My OH gets the worst of it. She sits and stares at him on the ar of his chair and if he doesn't scratch her head she hits him. She once slapped me three times in a row on the face when I was in bed because she wanted her breakfast!

We have a security camera in our house and it went off when I was at work. I checked the camera to see why and she had jumped up on the kitchen worktops and was walking all over them. Little mare!

She once stole a chunk of food that was on my fork. I was waiting for it to cool down and she jumped up, grabbed it then ran off to eat it.

mimibunz · 12/11/2018 11:31

The Bunz discovered Lurpak this weekend. I had some on to a slice of spice cake. Lovely dickhead.

SpoonBlender · 12/11/2018 11:44

Ugh. Rugs. Had to bin a rug this year after the girls brought in two rats and messily disembowelled them in the deep-pile.

Rats! Grudgingly impressed.

flissfloss65 · 12/11/2018 11:53

One of ours went into neighbours house and swiped a pork chop from under their grill. We started chasing her to retrieve it (?) and then another neighbour joined in. He thought it was his cat and trying to stop us. Must have all looked mad.
