Does anyone else's cats do any of this?How many people have cats who do any of the following? * Stalking the neighbours round the garden thinking he can't be seen then getting surprised when the neighbours spot him * Run off with random pens round the house so we can never find one when we want one * Blatantly ask for a tummy rub *Ask to be chased then get scared when someone does what he wants * Think the telephone is going to get up and feed him when OH or I are talking on the phone and Dylan's in the kitchen (he leads us through then insists the telephone is going to feed him  )*Stalk the watering can round the garden then get surprised when the watering can contains water when we're watering the plants * Start yowling at certain other cats but use the wrong body language towards them * Use the correct body language to communicate with the other cat but decide upon the wrong noise * Insist that most cat food is toxic poison but thinks other cat's foods are OK and all people food is Dylan food * Deliberately does something silly in order to go to the vet and insists the vet is his best ever friend *Approach random strangers then get confused when the stranger shoos him away *Play chicken with random vehicles on the road when they are going at 20 or 30 miles an hour (sometimes the vehicles go slower than that I'll be fair) * Be generally incapable of understanding danger *When the phone rings and it's my mum on the phone think that my Mum's behind the telly/outside the door/ under the table * Get stuck somewhere and have to be rescued from wherever he's stuck I'll probably be editing this later when I can remember the others. Edit: * Lie in wait by the flowerpots until he sees water coming out of them then pouncing on the water and find it astonishing that the water's wet * Talk to the wall and look like he thinks the wall is answering

I have no idea why - at first I thought he was stalking a piece of grass until he suddenly tried grabbing his front paw |

Most of them... Toffee also drinks water by dipping a front paw in and sucking/licking the water off that. Which is one way, I guess. Then he realises that his paw is wet and shakes the nasty wetness off. Also fairly common. And then he does the shaking thing but forgets to lift the paw out of the water and suddenly everything is very wet indeed. If it was only once, there would be hope but repeatedly? Sandwich short here as well. |

My word, I never realised how many of these things Harry does!! He is a very special cat, but Dylan certainly outranks him in this area! * Stalking the neighbours round the garden thinking he can't be seen then getting surprised when the neighbours spot him NO, but he does stalk birds, yelping as loud as he can.... and then wondering why he cannot catch a bird. The same applies for butterflies! * Run off with random pens round the house so we can never find one when we want one YES!! Harry does this too! * Blatantly ask for a tummy rub Yup, and he moans if you don't!! * Deliberately does something silly in order to go to the vet and insists the vet is his best ever friend Unfortunately Harry loves the vet, and he does silly things too.... I was so embarrassed once, Harry was ill for a few days, moping and not himself at all so I took him in, when we went into the consulting room, he started purring and rolling around and meowing... like a new happy cat!  * Be generally incapable of understanding danger SNAP! *When the phone rings and it's my mum on the phone think that my Mum's behind the telly/outside the door/ under the table Harry doesn't do this, but he is still looking for the cat on the other side of the mirror! He has been looking for this cat since he was a kitten. He is 3 years old now.... * Get stuck somewhere and have to be rescued from wherever he's stuck All the time! And I am a bad parent because I have to stop myself from laughing, take a photo and then rescue him!  Another thing Harry does well is gets jelous, so if one of the other cats or the dog gets a cuddle or a belly rub, he will make a moany noise and turn his back to me and stare at the wall. So funny... and so odd!! Then I have to make it up to him and he moans moans moans and then gives in and then readily accepts his belly rubs!! Cats... who would have em?!!  |

Cloud looks for the cat on the other side of the mirror. And runs off with the pens. And yest she actually chirped (or similar) at me to get me to come rub her tummy - that's the most blatant she's been about it yet... |
