Funny Quirks and Silly Things Our Babies do

A friend of mine posted this on another forum that I hang out at and I thought you all would get a kick out of it:

Kitties are amazing and funny. Sometimes I think they are like little people. Mine are little people. Mr. Green

Socks likes to headbutt my arm or paw at me or meow when she wants petted. It is so cute that they have ways to tell you what they want or to express their feelings.

LOL very funny!

Copper will wait with the dogs in the morning before he comes into the kitchen. He will escort Zoey down the hall and try to rub on her as they walk and he has to bend down to do it because she's a dachshund and he's HUGE!

Sabrina waits in the living room and jumps over the baby gate as I come down the hall. Then she falls out in front of me and wants scratching.

Silly kitties! Very Happy

when string wants to be pet, he'll use the inside of his paws (claws sheathed) to grab your wrist and put your hand on his head...it's very cute...lol

Great thread, Cassie!

Luna likes to try to wake me up in the morning by purring loudly and walking on and around me. She knows that once I start petting her, I'm more likely to get up shortly afterward, and then she can get breakfast. After she decides that I'm awake enough, she jumps off the bed and goes out into the hall and waits for me. If I fall back asleep, she walks back to the doorway and stares and/or meows at me as if to say "what ARE you doing?? Hurry up and get your butt out to the kitchen!" If I continue to take too long to get up, she starts the purring routine all over again. She's very persistant and charming when she wants something. Very Happy

She knows I can't resist petting her when she's purring, and she really knows how to work it!

Another funny thing she does is when she's sitting on the arm of the couch, she likes to reach out and grab onto my shirt with a claw or two if I walk by. It's her way of saying, "hey, don't just walk by me like I'm not here, give me some attention!"

I forgot this quirk from last year...I set up my xmas tree and have the pressies wrapped and set around the base...Booger loves to hide under the tree behind the pressies and ambush me when I walk by.

I was afraid my neighbor would call the police last night because I let out a loud scream when Booger got me LOL

Another thing Socks does is if I'm lying on the bed watching TV and she is lying next to me I will be petting her head gently and she seems to be asleep but when I stop, she'll make a small meow to tell me not to stop petting her.

I pet her for a for a short time while she seems to be asleep and then stop again.

She'll make another tiny meow and I will start petting her again.

This will go on for three or four times before she is contented and ready to go off into dreamland.

She is so cute. Shhh

Haha! My cat does the faucet thing too! She doesn't usually meow about it, she waits for you. If you're brushing your teeth and she's thirsty, you can't spit for a while, lol. Other times you'll walk into the bathroom and she's sitting on the counter waiting for you to turn on the faucet. She talks to me, too. Certain of her meows even sound like humans words, like 'no' and 'why,' her two favorites, so we have "conversations" all the time, lol.

our one cat Serendipity is now 3 years old, but has kept her tiny kitten meow... in the mornings when I am doing my regular kitchen routine, she will have her back to me, turn her head looting at me and do a loooong high pitched meeeeeoooooowwwwww.... what she wants? Ever since she was a kitten she has loved to be pet while she eats, so her back is to me, but she is facing her food bowls!
She also plays with the doorframes!

Our other cat cinnamon headbutts me in the mornings as soon as my alarm goes off... and she waits in bed for me at night, she knows my bedtime, and if I am not there on time, she will keep on coming out to see whats keeping me!

They BOTH get onto the closets every chance they get - I can't count the number of times they have been locked in! Shocked

but they never learn...

My cat-- oddly enough, LOVES the smell of mint. She's always wants to lick and smell my mouth when I brush me teeth. She absolutely won't eat it though, just thinks it smells good. Smile

isnt catnip from the same family as mint?

tyler_medeiros · Member Joined: 06 Feb 2005 Posts: 329 Location: Canada

...maybe? That would definitely explain why she likes it so much.

i searched for it to make sure..here is what it says:

Catnip (Nepeta cataria) is a perennial herb of the mint family.

Lol. Milo can open our bifold doors to our closet and the kitchen cabinet doors. He loves sleeping in a box in our closet. Even if I close the door, he can get out without problems. He also loves sleeping in the cabinet above the fridge. So if I can't find him, chances are pretty good he'll be in either spot. Rene, on the other hand, has been locked in the basement storage rooms for hours on several occassions (not on purpose), yet she continually hides in those rooms whenever we are there. Like others, she never learns. Rolling Eyes

buster loves to drag stuff over the floor, it used to be just dirty cloths to the laundry room, but now its clean stuff, pillows, blankets, stuffed animals, etc. anything that he can move gets moved.

he also likes to stick his head in his bowl when i try to feed him.

sahdow likes to lay on what ever your doing. if your reading she lays on the book/newspaper (acctualy i think buster taught her that) if your on the computer she lays on you

both of them like to play with the sheets when making the bed. theyll get under it and you have to pick them up to move them.
