Embarrassing things your cats have done

[TrainspottingWelsh]

Or at least most embarrassing, as I’m sure we’re all familiar with being made to look like fools with our cats looking innocently on.

Cat 1- New neighbours built a lovely gazebo complete with comfortable furniture. Came to complain one Sunday because she’d swiped a chicken breast , before retreating to ‘her’ gazebo and threatening their dogs and them if they tried to enter. Turned out the dog bullying had been ongoing a while but they didn’t know who she belonged to. Had to apologise profusely, buy wine and assure them if strange humans approached her she’d run, despite her threats. We are now very friendly.

Cat 2 - brought home a dead hare, chirruping loudly to indicate her achievement, before trotting round dragging it behind her to make sure everyone could view and admire it, before gifting it to me. Wouldn’t have been a problem but we had very formal guests that really weren’t animal people and dp and I had been on our best behaviour all evening, bribing dc, containing numerous pets and generally trying to pretend we had a sensible household. Suffice to say dinner ended sooner than planned.

Cat 3- spent several years after being abandoned with shared care (and vet bills) between a few of us by his own choice. Looks like an ancient, scruffy, battle scarred stray despite now having decided to permanently retire here in luxury. Has a starving weak old man routine because he knows idiot here will wait on him, before he clears off on his wide boy activities.

Really helpful when I was trying to explain to a clueless RSPCA officer that despite the concerns of a passerby, ex racers are meant to be slender and don’t melt in the rain. Trying to explain that no, you don’t exactly know who took the cat to the vets regarding that particular old scar, half the ear has been missing at least 6 years and it isn’t solely your cat but very much cared for, while said cat pretends it has collapsed with hunger in the doorway isn’t particularly the best way to convince anyone you are a responsible owner. To improve matters, she decided upon closer inspection, which wasn’t received well, but did demonstrate both his athleticism and his aptitude for fighting.

What embarrassing situations have yours got you into?

Had a designer come round to design a wardrobe. Had left a bra on the bed. The bloke let her play with his laser pointer and she staters wrestling with the bra. 🙈

She did a huge poo on the bed the first time my boyfriend stayed over, while we were asleep in the bed.

Damned cat has sucked up to every visitor I've ever had as if they are her long lost friend thenow mauled and hissed at them the minute they touch her. She has to be confined to my room when I have guests now and repays this humiliation by shitting under my bed.

Ours invited herself to next door's BBQ, jumped on the table and legged it with a beef burger. Dragged it over the fence and brought it to us as a gift. We didn't eat it, and neither did she so what was the point.. but gave next door a bottle of wine to apologise.

I had a man stay the night. One of my cats decided to piss on his pile of clothes on the floor.

My mum stayed and a cat vomited in her shoe.

A friend stayed over for a few days and we went shopping together. We went to the supermarket and left the bags on the kitchen floor for a while (to watch Strictly) before putting the stuff away. However his bag of shopping disappeared completely. It turned out that one of the cats had dragged the whole thing through the cat flap and into the next doors garden where he was able to devour the contents (some cold wrapped meats) without being discovered while strewing the rest over the neighbours' lawn.

I tend to avoid inviting people over these days :)

Love all of these, they always seem so adept at picking the ideal moment!

My mum was visiting, (my parents live 700 miles from me), and by coincidence one of her dear friends from university days lives near me, so I invited her over for dinner in order for them to spend time together. My mum's friend is quite fussy, very prim and proper, has no pets, never had children, always dressed to the nines, you get the idea...

We are at the table in the dining room, eating, and out of the blue one of my cats jumps from behind fussy friend's chair and lands on her shoulder with her front paws on the woman's head. Fussy friend screamed bloody murder and almost fainted. It was quite the ordeal. I'm surprised the police weren't called by a neighbour, that's how loud she screamed.

This is disgusting so don't read I'd easily offended. Followed me into toilet (as always) and sat by my feet. As I squatted over the toilet to pull my used tampon out she jumped up and caught it with her claws and tried to run away with it.
I shudder just thinking about it

ha ha delila - well you can see the attraction - small mouse sized with a dangly bit of string.

At least she only tried to run away with it delila it could have been a lot messier

This thread is timely!

This week, my DH was working from home, on a video conference call with 50 people. He was starting the call so everyone was looking at him. So naturally MonsteraCat jumped onto the desk, meowed into the camera and jumped down again.

Also, when she was a kitten, she jumped into the toilet bowl as DH was peeing. He peed on her, she ran away and he had to chase her brandishing a towel to minimise the awfulness of her spreading his pee about the house.

A friend was staying over who hates cats. So I locked the cat out. Friend wakes up screaming, I go in to the spare room to see her shaking with rage. Cat had snuck back in, not just in but into the spare room where she had hidden until all was quiet then she had draped herself around the head of my sleeping friend.

Same cat would shit on the doormat every time we went on holiday, so our neighbour would open the door and smear a shitty rainbow across the mat before she could even feed the cat.

A couple of years ago one of mine came in and dropped a spare rib at my feet. No idea where it came from. None of my immediate neighbor's were bbqing so I can only assume she dragged it down the street.

Had BIL staying over, against our advice slept on the sofa, our cat peed on him while he slept.
