    Well, the obvious answer is that she barfs all the time...
    But she is crazy, ever since she went through the window screen to get away from my parents cat.. She only likes me which is fine cause the husband hates her. She constantly meows which sounds more like a duck and likes to go out in the rain. Dumb cat, but I love her!

    My new kitten (ok, we've had him a year now and he was a few months old when we adopted him) is insane. This cat will go flying through my home, leaping up/on/over anything & everyone in his path. He literally climbs up the windows. I woke up 1 morning and he was hanging off of a mirror that he climbed up (yea picture that) and the whole mirror was about to come crashing down. When you are watching tv, he'll just sit behind the couch and meow his little head off.

    But then other times, he's the cuddliest little cat you ever saw. He curls up on anyone and everyone's laps and goes to sleep. He curls up on top of my other cat and goes the sleep.

    He's a licker. We had guests over the other day and they were quite intriqued that the cat was licking their toes. (no manners in this one, I swear!)

    He's also obsessed with the bathroom. Loves hopping in the tub, climbing the shower curtain, and "guarding" the shower while you're in it (then again, tries to lick your legs when you get out!)

    He's so weird!!!!!! (for the record, my other cat and my previous cat were perfectly normal lol)

    Oh, I forgot to mention. My cats like to play fetch with cough drops.

    Legit, I had a cold last year and accidently dropped a Halls and my tubby cat, Tex, went berserk. It's kitty crack, almost worse than catnip. Before she got fat, she used to play with 'em all the time for a solid 30 minutes up to an hour.

    Pearl is too smart to watch the birds through the actual window, so she watches the shadows on the wall

    My cat will sit on the bathtub ledge while I am showering. She will stick her paw in under the shower stream, get it wet and then wash her face with the water.

    My cat TwoSocks loves to play fetch, he loves these little stuffed lambs that I got at bath and body works last year around the holidays.
    He loves to be chased and to the the chaser, he will run at you full blast and leap into the air and use your body as a bouncer and launches himself all four feet off of you.
    He loves to lay upside down , and he loves to carpet surf. He is very talky and will argue with you.
    He always greets us at the door and then runs to the tile to do his "squirms" until you pet his belly.

    I love this cat

    I was given Sophie by a couple kids one evening while I was throwing trash in the dumpster. They had her in a box--she couldn't have been more than 6 weeks old--and told me their mother said they couldn't keep her and had to "throw it away". I'm a sucker for big, blue eyes, so she went home with me.

    My boyfriend claimed to hate cats. So Sophie decided she was his cat. When he comes home from work, she HAS TO CUDDLE HIM right away. She can hear his Civic from 8 blocks away. If he doesn't pick her up the minute he steps in the door, she yowls this gawdawful scream of a yowl until he does.

    Then she makes this face the entire time he holds her

    205291_2211071134474_633280529_n.jpg

    As a kitten, she broke into my craft supplies and opened a bag of 144 sparkly pom-poms. She's been obsessed with "sparkle balls" ever since (she's 4 years old now). She isn't interested in other cat toys, even ones with catnip. Every time the furniture gets rearranged, a cloud of hidden/lost sparkle balls is released, and Sophie spends days violently attacking them, carrying them around, throwing them down the stairs, until they all disappear again.

    Sophie gets mad if the children aren't in bed by 9pm. She will meow louder and louder, eventually escalating into attacking their legs, until they're in bed. She then must tuck them each in by climbing on them, and paw kneading them thoroughly. She sleeps with them throughout the night, switching kids about every 3 hours. Then, at 7am, she wakes them up. If they want to sleep in on weekends, they actually have to lock her in the bathroom, or she will howl and scratch at the doors until they get up otherwise.

    No one can use a bathroom without Sophie. She will cry and scratch at the door if you try. When she hides wherever she hides when she cannot be found, the only way to get her to come out is to go in the bathroom and close the door. She'll be at that door, crying, in seconds.

    Sophie has pretended our dog, a 150lb Saint Bernard, doesn't exist since she got tired of attacking him as a kitten. He always ignored her when she was attacking him. We suspect she snubs him now to get him back. The definition of "catty".

    Sophie loves our rabbit, however, and chases, is chased by, wrestles, cuddles, and cleans him whenever she can. The rabbit feels the same way about Sophie, but when she wants to play and he doesn't, he barks at her like a dog.

    Sophie used to drink out of the fish tank, until the Oscar got big enough to bite her nose. Now she just throws objects into the fish tank. Any object small enough to carry is fair game for fish tank toss.

    Except sparkle balls. Those never go in the fish tank.

    When Lucy was a kitten, every time I would go poop, she had to go in there with me and then would fall asleep in my pants....not sure if she was asleep or passed out....

    Lucy also loves sweet tea. I would get a huge 32 ounce glass of Southern Sugar Tea and should drink it...if it got too low for her to dunk her head in it, she would move to using her paws.

    My two cats love bringing home rodents and a bird now and then.

    ahhh where to start!! She scales the doors and would claw you to bits when you try and take her down(sometimes takes swipes at your head as you walk past), randomly tries to run up walls and the glass front door, she bullies my 5 1/2 stone black lab ! Sometimes when she meows it sound like she is saying my partners name "alan" sooo creepy! No matter how much or little food is in her bowl she will only eat half and will refuse to eat anything else out of the bowl until the other food has been cleaned out, she will only eat dry cat food - have tried her with fresh fish, tuna, wet cat food all sort but nope but plain dry cat food! She climbs on top of the shower rail while your in and gives you evils, she will huff if you dont give her treats and walk about the shelves knocking stuff down ... the list could keep going lol

    well, clyde the cat is our weirdest. he's 3 now. he likes to lick things. mostly plastic grocery bags. he really gets into it. like he'll sit there and lick a plastic bag for an hour, just licking away at the bag. he also sits in the bathroom while my husband showers and talks to him, then my husband uses him as a towel and clyde just loves it. he will jump on your lap and head butt you until you pet him, and then he will move his head to get your hand into just the right petting spot. he sleeps in the dogs bed, and will not let the dog into the bed. and when i feed everyone their wet food, he sticks his face into everyones bowl, including the dog, while the dog is eating, and then runs out of the kitchen without eating anything.

    persie is 1 and he is now 17 1/2 pounds. he likes to sleep on my stomach. he also will bite my husband on his calf when he wants to play. he sleeps in front of the front door spread eagle on his back. when hes in his cat tree and i come to pet him, he grabs my hand with his hands and pulls my hand to him and hugs and licks my fingers. and when i make the bed, he gets under the blankets and we play monster kitty.

    baby kitty is 6 and she is the queen. shes a pretty normal cat, her weird thing is, when i have a sweatshirt on, she likes to get into it and sleep. she loves to cuddle. oh and if i get a new bag of food or treats and leave them out for any amount of time before putting them away, she will chew her way into the bag.

    We had one cat that used to suck it's own nipple like it was nursing. I always wondered what was wrong with that cat...

    My Burmese is very protective of me. My dog can't even come near me some days (now she is a 30kg big dog - dobe x) and my kitty is only 4kg. She also has "babies". They are stubby coolers (or can coolers wherever you are from). She steals them and stockpiles them. Then she carries around one at a time meowing and caring for them. She has been spayed since 4mths and never had kits (she is 9 next month)

    Our black cat he is the weird one. Has no medical issues whatsoever, but once being a stray he seems to think he needs to eat constantly, yet he's only just 3kg. If he thinks can't see him he will try to eat anything in sight (yep ANY type of food!). He also has a habit of licking your hair while sleeping. He has an obsession for chemical smells and will go hypo if you smell anything like it. In particular, he loves the smell of chlorine. If he smells it he will rub on you for a minute before going pyscho and attacking you.

    Oh and he loves to eat lorikeet food. We have to lock it in the cupboard and make sure its locked or he will get it. If he does get it, it gives him the squirts. Why he continues to try and steal it is anyone's guess.

    One of mine loves the smell of chlorine too! She gets so into it it that she tries to get inside the hair, purring very loudly and rubbing up against the hair till you have to try to get away :tongue: She also believes when you go to the toilet that this is cuddle time.

    Another one makes love to my dressing gown at the same time bites and holds it with his mouth.

    Another one yells at you when she says its time to eat...yes it's a king of yell meow.

    Another one, when she had kittens a couple of years ago used to go into the kitchen, stand next to the window and meow. But, it sounded like she was saying Hewoah, hewoah. She also plays fetch with little pomm pom balls (the ones you get in those craft sets)

    Oh yeah and they like to watch if you know what I mean....creepy!

    My cat plays fetch like a dog - it's the weirdest/cutest/funniest thing ever!! She does it with straws, and balls of paper. She also follows me everywhere and jumps on the toilet when I want to use it, or in the sink when I want to use it. She sits on the side of the tub when I am taking a shower and every once in a while I feel a paw through the curtain because she is trying to catch the water. She also goes crazy when she sees lights on the wall and just sits there and tries to catch it. She doesn't like seeing her bowl of food empty and cries for more as soon as she sees the bottom.

    My 7 year old:

    - Licks wooden clothes hangers
    - LOVES mint chap stick (or most types for that matter). He'll try to lick it off my lips when I use it.
    - Will climb on my lap, snuggle, purr...then a few minutes later, without warning or provocation, will literally attack/bite me.
    - Will bite/attack any part of my body not under the covers starting around 3-4 am because he wants me to get up and feed him. This continues until I actually wake up. It's very annoying, actually.

    My 3 year old:
    - Scratches at stuff like a dog; doors, walls, mirrors, glass doors, etc.
    - She is a total licker, her way of saying hi or "I love you" is to lick hands, arms, legs, feet.

    Both of my cats like to play fetch.

    I've taught both of them to give paw. Not just one paw, but I've taught them both to give alternating paws.

    Ummm... Is your cat my cat's twin sister???? :laugh: Seriously. My cat does all those things. He also "barks" sometimes. I don't know how else to describe the sound he makes when he gets in a crazy mood. He'll start running laps through the house and being weird and does this weird kind of guttural sound, that I can only describe as a cat's attempt at a bark.

    Luna, my Persian/Seal Point mix will round the house, jump onto my balcony, open the insect screen, and then open the sliding windows and jump in onto my face (my bed is just under the window). All very quietly so you can't hear a thing. I learned where they got the term CAT BURGLAR from...

    Mine lays on my chest and kneads his paws into me while I'm sleeping, claws out, mid you. Then, when I wake up and go to the restroom, he follows me and rubs up against my legs over and over again while I sit on the toilet to pee. I can't escape him. He's everywhere.

    Also, when he is outdoors, he sits on the table I have right outside my living room window and just stares at me. It's creepy.

    I have two.

    One loves guys. He acts like such a hussy when a guy walks into the house. Also you have to hide any type of crackers or chips from him. He will shred the box trying to get to them.


    The other one will jump in the bath tub and howl until you let the water trip for him so he can drink and clean himself :)

    One of them likes to try and eat pieces of paper.

    The other one is very vocal, and likes to whine at the bedroom door with a baby-like cry when she wants food or attention.

    When he's happy, his tail will go straight up in the air and then vibrate.
    One of my girls does the same thing. She puts her butt to me and does it like she is trying to mark me as hers or something.

    They both scratch at the door and put their paws underneath or push the door open if it is not latched while I am using the bathroom.

    Peanut, who is going to be 2 in September, has these moments where he becomes needy as hell. He runs around, mewing at everything, then he'll be all cute by nudging on me, but then will turn around and try to bite my nose. He also has an issue with his backside. If you scratch it or pet it for too long, he will bite and get mad. He also will throw random tantrums. And he emerges himself in the water bowl to drink, or he just lays on his side and drinks.

    Marceline, who turned 1 this month, is skittish, despite being with us since she was 3 months old. She also screams when I'm combing her with the flea comb and have to put her on her back. She also screams when I cut her nails, even though I'm not hurting her. She also instigates fights with Peanut and when she's losing the fight, she screams for me to come rescue her. She's very affectionate, but barely tolerates being held.

    Oh and both cats LOVE playing with water drops. They try to grab drops as they're dripping off the A/C. But both hate baths.

    My youngest wants to perch on my chest... even when I am sitting up. She climbs up there and slides down, and climbs back up and lsides down. After doing this several times she gives me this look as if to say. "Why are you doing this to me?" Then she will try to use her claws to hold herself there.

    My oldest will not drink from anywhere but his island waterfall. He will jump on the bathroom counter, and expect the sink to be turned on to a small trickle when he asks. He won't drink though until the fan on the counter is turned on.

    Yes. It took him years to train me to do this for him.

    Oh yeah. The youngest has a taste for lego tires and nerf darts. She is constantly dragging them upstairs from the basement. The other day, she brought up a ball larger than her head.

    The question is what isn't wrong with my cat haha

    I'm not sure how old he actually is as he was abandoned and I adopted him back in September, the vet figured at that point he was about one year, nine months old and he is all kinds of crazy. He's extremely vocal, he'd talk the ear off of you, sometimes he even sounds like he says human words like "mom." When I come home from work or anywhere for that matter he runs out of his bedroom (yes, he has his own room complete with futon) meowing "mom, mom, mom." Same thing when I don't pay attention to him, he'll sit in front of me and continue with his "mom, mom, mom" rant then proceed to jump up on me regardless of what I'm doing and flop down on my lap even if that means he's on top of my laptop pushing every key on the keyboard.

    He also has an obsession with the bathroom, he'll go in there and lie on the floor for ages, if I go in there he'll sit in front of me and if I get a bath he'll sit on the toilet or side of the tub and slap the water or wait until I wash him down.

    He also has a weird habit of doing backflips off the wall, that or running and charging head first into walls, may explain why hes's such a weirdo but I love him anyway!

    My Izzy waits for me to bring my nightly cup of water to the bedside table then proceeds to drink it all as soon as I leave the room.
