What's your cat's most annoying habit?

[Saggingninja]

Stan sits by the french doors, then looks up at me and yowls. Several times.
I get up and open the doors.
Stan doesn't move.
Stan looks at me as though I'm an idiot.
I stand with the open doors looking down at Stan feeling like an idiot.
About ten seconds later, Stan saunters out the (still open) door.
Bastard.

Danny will come and lie next to me on my bed while I'm reading or whatever and looooves being scritched and stroked but if I shift position even just slightly he's gone, like he's been tasered or something.

...he also does the door thing -
sit outside looking through the glass in the bottom of the door, miaowing.
I unlock TWO locks to let him in, he walks away to sit in the back yard and does the 'you're an idiot' look.
Repeat 5 minutes later.

Murdering birds.

Farting every time he jumps up

Picks up a biscuit and eats it AWAY FROM THE BOWL, leaving biscuit crumbs all over my kitchen floor 😡 every single day too

Oh, many annoying habits. But the worst is waking me up at 5am EVERY morning, demanding to be fed.
The pattern is always the same:
Step 1: meow in face
Step 2: playfully jump over humans face, while gently rubbing undercarriage on said face
Step 3: knock everything off bedside table
Step 4: put face exactly 2cm away from humans face and breathe heavily
Step 5: pull human's hair
Step 6: rub bum in humans face.

Oh yeah, murdering birds and mice and leaving them in my bedroom. Or at the bottom of the stairs right where you step. Or bringing them in alive and chasing them round my room in the middle of the fecking night.

Mind you, he's the only one that brings me presents these days

:"(

I don't very often eat meat (once a fortnight) so when I do, my three cats understandably go wild with the smell and hover around me, desperate for a piece of it. Cats 1 & 2 hoover up scraps in delight, cat 3 looks horrified and turns her back in disgust but ten seconds later is miaowing in my face for another try

Girl cat gets cystitis (not her fault) then gets in the habit of weeing on everything

Boy cat wants stroking, but only while he’s crouched on the floor by the sofa so you have to do complex yoga poses to get to him

Biting and scratching on the mirror at night for attention.

But then he does his chirrupy purry mew and flops over for a tummy rub so all is forgiven. 🥰

I counted this as a bunch of flowers....

Tries to get settled on my chest, very cute, apart from the fact her anus is in my face.

Rubbing against me when he’s been outside in the rain
4am demand for food
Needing to sniff everything single thing on my plate so he can decide if he wants some of it

That's a very thoughtfully arranged bouquet @WizzyBee - I'd be proud to receive that.

Ruins all my trousers when kneading - anyone got any suggestions of how to stop this?
Also one of mine now keep pawing me (even my face) to get extra attention when I'm sitting down!

Where to start!

-Murdering voles in front of guests (Mr Spock)
-Shagging clothing/cushions/the rug in front of guests (Bennie)
-Standing forlornly on the other side of our patio doors, until we get up and open them, sauntering in, going out through their flap and repeating. For hours. (Both)

We love them to bits though.

Pukes up food due to wolfing food down. She always has food available, tried lots of small portions in day and lots of fancy dispensing gadgets but no, will wolf food down puke and follow me meowing for more ( despite a half bowl being available)

Prefers us to open the back door for her to be let in/out. She has a lovely cat door through the wall but she like the human door. She will use her cat flap when we are not around.

Girl cat runs down the garden towards the house, I open the patio door to let her in and she sits down, I close the patio door she runs, I open she sits, and so on. Until she gets to the closed door and howls like she has been abandoned

Licking/piercing holes in plastic bags. If I get a parcel that’s been packed with those recyclable bags of air I have to put them for recycling immediately.

Oh, my dearly departed boycat used to catch lizards and insist on munching them. He'd grimace while doing so (obviously not v tasty) then projectile vomit a while later. It was fun cleaning up lizardy puke especially when it was a pregnant lizard with eggs thrown in 🤮🤮🤮

My dearly loved departed cat could count! You could stroke her 3 times but on the 4th she would try and bite you! Every time and with everyone! Good job we loved her!

mabelmylove - ah the old arsehole in the face trick. Funny how they also manage to raise their tail so artfully or should I say 'arsefully' too . . .

Crying for the tap to be run for water and then not drinking.

Running diagonally in front of me as I go up and down the stairs. Deffo wants to kill me.

5am poke (with claws out) to my face.
