What is wrong with my cat?

[Not_Giving_Up]

He won't stay out of the kitchen cabinets, keeps going in and just sitting there. Just him...the others are chilling.

1. Related to Martha Stewart's cat ?

2. you gotta keep your weed in a better hiding place!

[Not_Giving_Up]

4. Ha!!

Never in THAT cabinet...this is under the kitchen sink...connects to another sapce where the dishtowels are stored.

3. How many cats in the house?

it may be time to buy one of those little 'cat houses' at Target. He may need his space, unless he is very old.

[Not_Giving_Up]

6. 3...his sister, and their daughter

(Yeah, I know...not a very selective little fucker, was he?)

Everyone is fixed now...Youngest just turned a year old today!

7. Mine crawl under the bed to escape each other

usually. Cardboard boxes are favs too.

8. Scribbles, the the birthday girl loves cardboard boxes

She will defend a cardbox box against the other cats for hours.

5. He's looking for that hurt pidgeon on the other thread. eom

[Not_Giving_Up]

9. Just read it...how awful!!

Bear wouldn't be looking for a pidgeon though...he's a chicken.

10. My cat does the same thing. I had to put child locks on the doors :-)

He also likes to eat plastic. Bad mix.

11. the cat is telling you he's hungry for soemthing other than what's

in his bowls

12. next week it will be your laundry basket, or some other spot

that only he knows is magic. All my cats take "spells" regarding certain locations in the house. A couple of months ago, my siamese mix was sneaking off to the staircase, and curling up on the THIRD STEP, and only the third step for long afternoon naps.

One of my other cats would hide in a cardboard box upstairs.

After the siamese got over the stairs, he napped on the sofa for several weeks. Now he is back to the water bed.

16. One of my cats has been lying on the top of the stereo speaker on top of

the entertainment center. Sigh. I had to take all of my little collectables and such off the top of the entertainment center after she knocked an antique oil lamp off the top of it... Fortunately, it landed on my son's sax case before dropping softly on a rug. The only thing that broke was the replaceabale chimney.

We have seven cats here and they all have their changing favorite places to sleep. My kitty has been sleeping on the top shelf of the closet the past week or so. Before that, it was on the dressser.

13. When mine does that it means there is a mouse in the cupboard

[Not_Giving_Up]

19. I looked to see if he was hunting something in there

No evidence of rodents (or anything else!)

14. he is exchanging data with the mother ship....

The spot with the best mind-link reception moves around a bit as the plasma field distorts, so he sometimes has to sit in strange places to keep the uplink. Nothing to worry about as long as he doesn't start to glow.

[Not_Giving_Up]

18. Knowing Bear as I do, you're probably right

He went sprinting down the hall, jumping and twisting in mid-air for no reason too...I thought that he was chasing a bug, but he wasn't. I think the aliens are closer now.

[Carni]

15. He has discovered that he can do that

And thinks he's cool...

I have a cat who throws things.

He launches anything that is not nailed down that is light off of any and every surface.

Such is the nature of intelligent cats
(AKA big pains in the asses lol)

17. I have a cat who plays in the water dish

I'm sure she thinks she's special when she drops her toys in the water dish, then amuzes herself by batting the toy around before getting it back out again.

She's also learned how to open the shower door...not cool! I spend half of my shower closing the damn door back. It makes me think of Paula Poundstone though, when she talks about how they freak out when you squirt them with water...."What do they think when we take a shower? My cats just sit outside the shower door, watching, amazed. When I get out, they're like 'Are you OK? Man, it was all over you! There was nothing we could do! you must have been REALLY bad!"

20. He is actually doing gravity tests.

Cats always need to be sure gravity is working, expecially early in the morning. They detect weakenesses in the earth's gravitational field before dawn, and therefore find it necessary to shove things on the floor to be sure those things won't float away. They also need to do it in your bedroom so you will wake up in case the gravity stops working.

[Not_Giving_Up]

21. SO, she's testing gravity by opening the shower door?

How about when I go to brush my teeth, and I have to move the cat out of the sink to spit?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

22. No. Then she's just being an obstructionist.

Mine does the same damn thing. I wonder how he'd like globs of toothpaste in his fur?

[Not_Giving_Up]

23. LOL...Scribbles has almost been toothpasted before

I'm trying to push her out of the way, and she's pushing back, playing a a game.

24. Cats like to hide

My cat likes to sleep on my clothes in my closet. Who knows why
