Alis girls Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I know a few of us have kitties which sit on the table. On Saturday OH and I were sitting in kitchen drinking tea and chatting as the house was full of teenage boys when Honey our porky tabby who has a bad habit of running over the table or sitting on the newspaper if we are reading it - ran across the table and walked through a plate and dish left on the table Naughty girl - had to put them back in the dishwasher as goodness knows where her feet had been Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 My naughty kitties sleep on our beds and leave their muddy paw prints behind and stretch their claws on my new sofa They don't usually go on tables, but my old cat did and all tables had to be wiped before use when we had her. Scamp can't resist cardboard boxes so we have to watch what we leave around because she rips them to sheds, I hope she doesn't move onto wrapped presents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coco Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 My black cat Tyson sits on top of the Tv and hangs his front paws down the middle of the screen so you can't see whats on. He sleeps like that for ages and won't be moved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docsquid Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Mostly they are good, but muddy paw prints on the duvet cover and getting on the table when they aren't allowed are some bad habits that haven't been entirely eliminated. It isn't helped by DH giving them milk when the jump on the table! Ozzy has just developed the annoying habit of chewing my Crocs which means they have to be shut away in the cupboard all the time - not ideal when I use them as slippers!

Gem_Seb Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 mine insist on sitting/walking over the keyboard when im on the computer, any paper they will sit on, wrapping the christmas presents was interesting this year! i attempted to do it in the lounge when i noramlly lock myself in the bedroom and it took twice as long as they kept sitting on the paper! they sleep on the bed with us and generally go everywhere we dont want them to!! i cant even have a xmas tree this year as they had totally demolited it overnight last year and due to having archways and no doors on our ground floor we cant lock them out of the front room!! sorry its doesnt change as they get older! but we still love them!

mostin Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 My cats are addicted to ear wax and anything that has been in your ears . We have had to buy bins with lids for the bathrooms, otherwise cotton buds are dragged out and chewed. I also had to take Oscar to the emergency vets as he ate the sponge covering from my ipod ear phones . We keep all earphones hidden from him now, but I had a close call with him yesterday when I found him hooking my ipod with earphones out of my open handbag by the wire . That cat has a serious addiction . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 Gross - my tom cat loves worn underpants which have put out for the wash - usually ES's much to his horror. His mates thought this hilarious Very unsavioury habits some cats have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seagazer Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 My two love Christmas or birthdays as they love tearing the paper to bits Also a favourite it to sit on the newspaper that you are trying to read and then biting the corner of it. Dave also has a fondness for walking around the kitchen worktop and for dropping live little animals in the house so that we can all play hunt the mouse/bird. I used to have a cat that liked to drink out of the bathroom tap, just had to turn it on a little for her and she was very happy. Another one used to wee in the Christmas tree pot so we gave up getting real trees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lydia Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Unless the bins are covered one of our cats retrieves used plasters and dental floss. But the worst one was finding used items of a feminine nature lying around the house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 My cat Scamp used to take female hygeine items from bins too but she seems to have stopped that one and now just steals pens and pencils and particularly my daughter's drawing tablet pen from her laptop. She then meowls about how clever she is and we are now safe from the evil tablet pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saronne Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I've just gone into the kitchen to discover a carton of milk 'drained' of its contents. Naughty Betty bit holes around the carton whereupon it leaked everywhere... I knew she was culprit as her fur was wet (she's a longhair) and she was happily grooming herself... http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs115.snc1/4965_92795792363_670947363_1934639_5423593_n.jpg Saronne x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 One of my cats will claim her spot then works to remove everything from the area, if she jumps on a table she will push everything on the table off the edge, likewise the mantelpeice The other cat is obsessed by water and will get in the shower with you if you let him when we had a bath tub he used to think he could walk on the water, we were forever hooking him out!

fluffyfeet Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Around 7.30 one morning OH noticed one of ours 'shrouding' something like a bird of prey does. On closer investigation it turned out to be somebody's salmon sandwiches wrapped in cling film. We then took an educated guess where they had come from, went to the neighbour 3 doors away and asked if they were missing anything. Cue puzzled looks so we then said 'has Sid got salmon sandwiches for his lunch' to which the reply was yes. OH then held out said sandwiches and at which point everyone said "Pants". He has also had half a pound of minced beef and a small Sunday joint from the same house - but I can't be too cross with him as they did used to give him treats so I suppose he was just helping himself!

Minnie&Moose Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Our feline terrorist, Max, has a habit of breaking into the neighbour's house late at night, pushing open the bathroom door and dangling over the edge of the bath to drink She lives alone so found it a bit alarming the first few times to see the door open of its own accord whilst she was lying in the bath .
