Subject: BS: Nutty Cat Antics From: olddude Date: 11 Sep 12 - 04:24 PM so I come back from out West and need lots of coffee. so I go outside and bring my big back of peanuts and feed this one eyed gray squirrel that I named Lorax. Anyway she come down begs a peanut, I toss it and my cat walks over grabs the peanut opens it up and eats the dang thing. So I had to put a handful of peanuts on the sidewalk for my cat so I could feed my squirrel. Next thing I notice is my cat goes over to to coffee cup and starts drinking my coffee.. insane animal. Ever hear of a cat that loves eating unsatled peanuts in a shell OMG |

Subject: RE: BS: Nutty Cat Antics From: GUEST,Eliza Date: 11 Sep 12 - 05:22 PM I have a Siamese called SmokeyPokey who eats up the lumps of raw pastry I throw out for the birds. Minty loves to drink cold tomato soup. And Murphy dices with death by weeing on the electricity sockets. He watches fascinated as sparks fly out of the holes. We've had to tape small plastic sheets over all sockets to prevent a tragedy. Siamese are like that, completely gaga. |

Subject: RE: BS: Nutty Cat Antics From: Ebbie Date: 11 Sep 12 - 08:41 PM I have a friend who has a cat that will eat literally almost anything. Hot peppers, popcorn, lettuce, candy, you name it. You will be glad to know however, olddude, that he won't eat Jello. Not sure what it says about the bond you two have. |

Subject: RE: BS: Nutty Cat Antics From: artbrooks Date: 12 Sep 12 - 12:02 AM We had a cat when we lived in Wisconsin who loved to pee in the floor heating register. Really glad we sold the house in the summer when the heat was off. |

Subject: RE: BS: Nutty Cat Antics From: GUEST,Eliza Date: 12 Sep 12 - 05:58 AM Our cats are all neutered males but they do still have this desire to wee on things (I suppose it's teritory-marking) They have constant access to the outside via the catflap, but weeing indoors seems to be a special pleasure. A quick squirt here and there 'en passant'. My husband understandably goes mad, and mutters to himself. I tell him he can do the same if he likes, but he doesn't even smile! |

Subject: RE: BS: Nutty Cat Antics From: Becca72 Date: 12 Sep 12 - 09:55 AM My spinach-eater is 1/2 Siamese...hmm. :-) He is also very particular about the litterbox. If I have slacked on my duties and not cleaned it as quickly as he likes he will poop directly in the center of the bathmat. Sometimes I just need a reminder of my place, apparently. |

Subject: RE: BS: Nutty Cat Antics From: Pete Jennings Date: 13 Sep 12 - 07:14 AM SiS: brilliant! I once had a Siamese Red Point that used to go mad for the remains of our corn on the cob. Abolutely barmy. |

Subject: RE: BS: Nutty Cat Antics From: Bert Date: 13 Sep 12 - 11:17 AM Our cat used to cry to come indoors so that he could use his litter box. |

Subject: RE: BS: Nutty Cat Antics From: Jim Dixon Date: 27 Jun 13 - 08:44 AM I happened to be awake at 4 a.m. yesterday. (Woke up, couldn't get back to sleep, read for a while.) The house was quiet except for the drone of our 2 window air-conditioners, which masked (for me, at least) any sound from outside, such as traffic. (There likely wouldn't be any traffic on our residential street anyway, but there are commercial streets a couple of blocks away and an interstate a half-mile away.) Suddenly I heard my cat meowing. I was upstairs; he was downstairs. "Meow! Meow! Meow! Meow!" He usually does that when he wants something, or when he's bored, or—well, it's sometimes hard to figure out a cat's motivation. Then, a few seconds later, I heard the front door opening. My son had arrived home after one of his late-night carousals, I suppose. So the cat had anticipated my son's arrival. By what clue, I'm not sure. Did he hear and recognize the sound of our car? Was he watching out the window? And why does he bother? Most of the time, when we arrive home even after being away for several days, he seems indifferent. Sometimes he doesn't even greet us at the door, but shows up later. Cats don't show enthusiasm like dogs do, but I suppose they do care about our comings and goings. I've also seen this behavior when my wife goes for a walk in the afternoon. I hear the cat meowing, and then my wife, having finished her walk, appears at the door. My wife doesn't even notice this herself; the meowing has stopped by the time she gets inside, and then the cat seems, as usual, aloof and indifferent. |

Subject: RE: BS: Nutty Cat Antics From: Keith A of Hertford Date: 27 Jun 13 - 08:55 AM My cat used to do the welcome thing, and seemed to know the sound of our cars. We can only park in the road and there are always cars coming and going. |

Subject: RE: BS: Nutty Cat Antics From: ranger1 Date: 27 Jun 13 - 01:35 PM My cats have always raced the dog to greet me at the door. I think it depends on the cat whether they show enthusiasm when you come home. My current cat has developed her own form of cat x-games. There is loft-diving (jumping out of the loft onto unsuspecting victims, usually either myself or the dog), dog bed surfing (where she runs full tilt and leaps onto the dog's bed and slides half-way down the hall), and her new favorite, shadow chasing. Kaylee is never boring or bored... |

Subject: RE: BS: Nutty Cat Antics From: GUEST,Eliza Date: 27 Jun 13 - 03:09 PM A lady in our village has two dogs and three cats. She takes the dogs for a long walk all round the village, by the stream, through the small wood and down by the lakes. All the way, the three cats follow, one behind the other, like a parade. Every morning and evening we see this little cavalcade going by, it's so sweet. The cats love the dogs and rub against them, while the dogs lick the cats' faces. I never imagined cats and dogs could love eachother like this, it must be very unusual. Another lady, who goes to our church, has a grey cat who follows her right up to the church door and sits outside howling and yowling all through the service. She has to nip out during each hymn to reassure her. I suggested she brings it in. They're all God's creatures, but I suppose she might miaow at the wrong moment! (...the power and the glory, for ever and ever...MIAOW!) |

Subject: RE: BS: Nutty Cat Antics From: ranger1 Date: 27 Jun 13 - 03:31 PM Eliza, if pets were allowed in church, I might actually have gone once in a while. My current cat loves the dog. She like to clean his ears, groom him, and snuggle up whenever she can. I think she is convinced he is just a large, strange-looking, oddly acting cat. But she did come from a hoarding situation with 39 other cats, so maybe she just misses all her relatives and is transferring that onto the dog. |

Subject: RE: BS: Nutty Cat Antics From: GUEST,Eliza Date: 27 Jun 13 - 03:44 PM Ah, ranger1, you may have something there. Gwen, the lady with the 2 dogs and 3 cats, got all of them from an animal shelter, where she worked as a volunteer for many years. So maybe they were all used to species-mixing from the start. I just know that if I brought a dog home, my Siamese would react very badly. Murphy would wee for England in every electricity socket in the house, and Minty would go mountaineering on the neighbours' roof, where he likes to sulk. SmokeyPokey would quietly leave home, as he adores me with all his heart and would die of sheer jealousy. I love dogs, but I can't have one here. (Also, my hub. wouldn't be too chuffed!) |
