Why?

Why?😫

Because she/he can!

Mine are the same, mainly with the kibble.

No bloody idea.

To test the housekeeping of the staff!
or
Because they can.
or
Because all cats are bastards.
🤣

😻

Why not?

Mine also like to nudge the water bowls until the water sploshes on my floor and then drink it from there. I put them on feeding mats so they couldn't but they mange to push them to the end of the mat and splosh there.

Are you questioning the actions or decisions of the Supreme Kitty Overlord?!

All hail the Supreme Kitty Overlord!

Same here. Biscuits scattered throughout the downstairs too.

Not too bad this morning!

Great thread and beautiful cat.

Mine are just as bad!!

Snorg likes taking a mouthful and depositing it in my long pile rug.

One of mine takes a big mouthful of meat, drops it on the carpet then licks it clean of jelly or gravy before stalking away like a disgusted duchess. She's high maintenance.

DH's theory on this is that the cats throw their food around to check it's not alive.

My theory is that they're just awkward little fuckers who enjoy making more work for us just because they can.

Because why not? They don’t have to clean it up.

I swear that my two have food fights. I find find splotches of wet food a meter off the floor.

Because it's there.

And there...and a bit over there...

Ha!

This mucky bugger cat kills his prey neatly and eats it.

My previous cat regularly brought us half-dead prey played with them in doors and left the mess for us to clear up. She never ate them herself. On the other hand, she was the cleanest, neatest cat when it came to eating from a bowl. No mess whatsoever.

OP, I feel your pain!
