Please share with me!! Pics of your cats and their funniest little quirks!

[SpookyScarySkeletons]

Betsy - the fluffy poser - we have a spare little tray in the downstairs loo and every time I go for a wee she follows me and uses her tray whilst staring up at me. If she doesn't need a wee she just pretends to wee as if I haven't noticed 😂

Ivy - the silky older girl - she likes to lay across my chest with her front paws on my shoulder and repeatedly rub her face on my cheek and lick my cheeks, ears and nose.

Love the pair of them to death!

Introduce me to your crazy cats please!

Greggs Bag!

Our nutty cat.

This was after she had kept me awake for 2 hours meowing at me to go and sit downstairs with her, she doesn’t like to go down alone. She ate her breakfast and fell in to a food coma by the look of it.

She is adorable and we love her to bits but not so much at 4am.

And if I went near that tummy I would likely lose fingers🤣🤣

Managed to find a pic of all three together.

The black one which our dog rescued from being dumped in a bag in the bin is a lovable lump of fluff and shouts at me at 10pm every night until I go to bed with him.
The black and white one that we took in after she was left at a rescue centre at about 5 weeks old is a tiny nutcase and likes nothing better than chewing plastic and accidentally getting shut in cupboards.
The white, ginger and black one we adopted from Cats Protection after she was taken in from the streets while pregnant. She is the oldest and basically rules the house much in the same way I imagine Queen Victoria did by sitting in her chair demanding treats and hissing at anyone who dares disturb her.

Lovely thread.

Mine doesn't have quirks.

She rules with an iron fist.

she enforces a bedtime for us!!! I literally get sent to bed by the cat. It's insane. 😂

And she won't let us have a lie in either. If we aren't up at the required time she stands in the hallway and yells. She's tiny but my god she can yell.

Cats in the street can be twice her size and terrified of her. If they come in the garden she's off like a rocket! I don't think she realises how small she is. If they stood their ground they'd make mincemeat out of her but I can only assume the speed and confidence she shows fools them into thinking she could kick their arse.

She's got a cat sofa, a cat igloo and yet she sleeps in a cardboard box we aren't allowed to move off the dining table.

She's a furry little dictator.

Here she is on my son's bed.

She booted him out of bed so she could enjoy the warm spot.

He just went and sat on the floor, stroking her. She has him well trained.

@Hellocatshome you are allowed to stay up until 10?

No one can walk down the stairs without paying "landing tax" to this furry toll keeper. Have to spend a couple of minutes playing with her standing on the steps while she runs around between the banister rods and tries to swipe you. She would prefer a juicy thumb but I've learnt not to make that mistake twice. Ouch! Now I always carry a feather wand when going down.

Mine just loves a good pose. Bless him, he’s hiding in fear at the moment as fireworks are going off already

Hid quirk is wanting me to brush or stroke him while he eats…

*His

I didn't know I was a cat person, but this little chap has converted me.

@Mybalconyiscracking Betsy is like this with primark bags 😂 have to be careful to snip the paper handles as she got her head stuck once!

@DontKeepTheFaith OMG that tummy!!! I would risk losing a finger to touch that 😂

@Hellocatshome so lovely that you can get a pic of them all together. Sounds like they have landed on their feet with you! Ivy and Betsy are both rescues too. Ivy was thrown out of a car in a cat box near the rescue with her mum and siblings, she was last to be adopted because she is black and white Betsy was found under a hedge at a week old and hand reared by the same rescue.

Haha @IncompleteSenten love your furry dictator! She sounds like a riot 😂😂

@Amrapaali wow that is some seriously impressive tummy fluff!!

@KeyLimePies I do love a good cat sleeping position!! Aww bless him with the fireworks. They have just started here but thankfully the terrible twosome don't seem to have noticed yet.

@BadgeronaMoped I hold a firm belief that everyone is a cat person deep deep down inside x

Lucy is a hefty 5.5kg lump with a voice like Marge Simpson. She shouts at us to go to bed (and will come back down and shout a second time if we're taking too long!)

Her morning 'alarm' trick is to launch herself from the windowsill onto your sternum while you are asleep.

My Mr Cooper. He's now about 17, he's deaf and has only got one eye, one of his "fangs" left, and is a bit thin. He's lovely though.

Odd cat

My two (both shown) - 2 fast asleep shots and one having a wash… with both back legs stuck in the air (still can’t stop giggling when he does this 😂) Rescues ~8yo, I’ve been their skivvy for ~8 months!

This is one of my favourite photos of my two dearly departed kitties. Alfi (on the left) was the most beautiful but evil cat; she despised anyone and anything that crossed her path - poor Rafa (on the right) was merely defending himself.

Such wonderful pictures, really lovely thread😻😻

We’ve only had our rescue cat a couple of months but it feels like I’ve been servant to a cat forever, it’s been just awesome🤩 Despite the early waking habit😬🤦‍♀️

Micky likes a good stretch whilst napping ☺️

The late Maia was an absolute diva. Heaven forbid that the duvet wasn't folded back in the correct way for her to jump into the bed.

Magic would walk around my bed 3 times before jumping on it. She sounds like a heard of elephants!

And Cheddar loves the sound of her own voice. And demands to be taken to bed. (Took ages to work that one out)

Our kitten is such a messy sleeper - legs all over the place. Sometimes she sleeps upside down hanging over the edge the sofa. Our older cat is always so neat and tidy so it seems really weird to us.

This is Pokey. He also dictates when bedtime is. If I should get up again for any reason (e.g. to brush my teeth), he will follow me and yell at me until I go back to bed with him.

He has a strict bedtime routine, which is as follows:

1. Sits on me and washes himself.
2. Demands head rubs.
3. I then have to hold his paws while he goes to sleep (see picture!)
4. When I eventually switch off the bedroom light, he gets under the duvet with me.

He is terrified of pretty much everyone (even his human dad startles him), he is more of a one-person kind of cat. But I'm very glad that I am his person

@AltitudeCheck Lucy is beautiful 😻

Mr Cooper ❤️❤️ lovely old man @TheCreamCaker

@paulhollywoodshairgel ooh another mega fluffy tummy! Are you allowed to stroke it?

@LittleMissnotLittleMrs oh my they are beautiful cats!!

@grooveonthemove oh bless them. They sound like right little characters!

@Mia184 bless him! One of our dearly departed cats used to do this too.

@Mrsblobbyspants both Ivy and Betsy sleep like that, usually upside down with legs splayed everywhere 😂

@violetbunny omg the paw holding is so cute!!

@SpookyScarySkeletons sometimes! But only on his terms of course 😂😂

Wilson is hilarious. He'll sit, give his paw, high five and do "safe" hand gesture for dreamies. He announces his arrival when he comes in and insists that I supervise him eating.

He's also the cuddliest, friendliest cat ever, who charms anyone who walks through the churchyard at the back of me.

That reminds me - if I'm nipping to the high street, he'll escort me halfway through the churchyard then wait there for me to return, accompanying me home.
