Cats are nobs

Dcat4 (Kloppy) went missing for nearly 24 hours, turned up safe and sound thankfully but not before I was having panic attacks.

Separate incident (different cat) - I was woken up the night before last at 1am by what sounded like someone smashing their way into my house with an axe. I ran downstairs with my baseball bat only to find dcat3 looking a bit sheepish after a mad half hour and knocking stuff over Angry

How has your cat been a nob today?

Shamelessly placemarking!
I love a good cats are knobs thread. My little arsehole has been rather well behaved today!
The other week i woke up to scratching and thought we had mice in the loft, turns out the little shit had sneaked upstairs and chosen to wake us up at 2am scratching to get in our bedroom. He's usually shut downstairs cause he sits on my head yowling in my ear at 3am if not.
I love him to pieces, but dear god he's a knob!

Apparently the peg bag must be killed. One cat drags it out of the cupboard, another jumps on it and the third then drags it back into the cupboard, minus a few pegs, which are like stepping on Lego..

My friend posted this the other day and it’s all very accurate.Grin

My cats are always knobs.

This weeks highlights:

Monday - Dmalecat playing nicely in garden. Heavens open and it starts to snow and hail. He sat in middle of garden crying that it's snowing and hailing on him. I had to shout at him to come in the house.

Tuesday - Dfemalecat has to be involved in every Skype call. Will tap every button with her paw and only satisfied when the call logs off.

Wednesday- both cats sat at window winding up all the neighbourhood dogs.

They haven't been knobheads today....yet.

Standing in the hallway squeaking at a fly on the ceiling she couldn't reach. For half an hour.

Disappearing in the direction of the garden of a neighbour who has a HUGE dog for a few hours before wandering in and demanding food.

Laying on my legs overnight then having a play fight with her sister on my legs then gouging claw lines in my arm for trying to stop them!

Wow bill that's some teamwork! Shock

Fred he's one step ahead of you. I also prefer your spelling of nob - reminds me of the Scouse 'knobhead' Grin

I don’t stand a chance - I have five cats. It’s a good thing they feign live and adoration for me (dreamies!)

They've been peaceful and well behaved all day.

Bastards. This model cat behaviour always degenerates into anarchy as soon as our heads touch the pillow.

Three days ago, Madame Fluffyknickers, the somewhat neurotic, borderline senile bag of cat parts welded together, decided she was going to lead a mutiny. After approximately 16 years of nigh on exemplary behaviour (other than when being a small gingery ball of rage and aggression to the poor bastard disabled cat from the day he emerged from the handbag I'd carried him across the London transport network as a 6 week old abandoned kitten - she regrets that now as he's three times her size and weight), she has decided that The Rules no longer apply to her and human food is Fluffy Cat Food.

We discovered this when I heard the 'Get the fuck away from MY mouse' growl in the kitchen and dashed in to find she had gone walkabouts across the kitchen counters and retrieved two cooked sausages from the pan in silence - taking the lid off in the process - eaten one without a trace and was in the process of telling the other cat that she was not in the mood for sharing.

Every morning since, she has jumped up onto the countertop to supervise food preparation (and been removed each time).

The Other one has learned from her behaviour in just these three days and now can be found climbing onto the work surfaces where he has never attempted to do so before.

Theft, Trespass, Mutiny. And all from something that resembles an orange sheep with an attitude problem.
