Teddy The Asshole Cat

1. Yeah, I've got two of those. My big guy throws the food bowl down the steps.

We keep it on the top step of the basement stairs (to keep the dogs from eating it) and if there isn't enough in it or it is "too stale" (meaning more than a couple hours old), he'll throw the bowl down the steps and make a huge mess. He just sits there with a look like "so, my food dish is empty."

My male kitten jumps up on the night stand in the middle of the night (or on the coffee stand) and throws stuff off just to get the sheltie to jump off the bed and bark at him. Then he head bonks her and bats at her face to get her to play.

7. I've got eight of them. They will often push everything off of an area

they want to lie on.

We never put breakables where the can push them off...

8. Eight cats? The garbage men don't like you.

9. Some are indoor/outdoor cats... We once had ten. My husband kept bringing home

cats that had been abandoned at his place of work. Some had litters of kittens that we adopted out before we got them all spayed and nuetered.

When we were up to ten, I told my husband that if he brought home one more cat, it was divorce court!

So, he brought home a dog.... sigh.

On edit: The cats are all brought in by dark and they stay in till about 9:30 to 10:00 most days.

16. My male kitten is going in tomorrow to get his nuts clipped. He has no clue.

What's REALLY going to piss him off is that he can't eat after 8 tonight and won't get breakfast. Unfortunately, that means his sister is subjected to the same denial of food. They can't stand being apart.

2. I love that he yawns after his mischief making.

I just love the kittays.

Knock stuff to the floor, yawn...

6. The epitomy of catitude!

10. umm, you know he is a cat, right?

He is probably bored- it is your fault.

I had one of those. Lilac knocked my Hummel figurine off and broke it.

Cute little guy.

11. Museum putty

I use museum putty (repositionable) for anything I don't want the cats to knock over/break. Works great, and can be purchased at most arts/crafts stores.

22. thanks for the tip!

12. I had a cat named Teddy.

He was also into gravity-testing. Most mornings he'd wake me up by shoving something onto the floor.

He was an asshole, but a good cat nonetheless. R.I.P., Teddy.

13. How did my cat get in that guy's bedroom?

She looks just like that cat, and she engages in that behavior on a regular basis.

14. LOL. Love the yawn.

It's just screams CAT. That's why I've loved them my entire life.

15. Cats are very suspicious about the Laws of Gravity

So they have to test them from time to time.

17. Looks exactly like my Benny, who is a brat too.

I wonder if it's a trait in black cats.

18. "Yawn. Yah, I did that."

[pink-o]

19. Here's a cat who knows he's an asshole...

20. I can't leave water by my bed..

2 out of the 3 in my home is likely to topple it.

It's a regular sport in my home.

21. an antiques expert once told me cats are responsible for more broken treasures that any person

and I'm afraid Teddy confirms this.

23. My kitten,

who is growing like a weed and is extremely energetic and aggressive at play, has, in the last 3 days:

killed my little avocado plant by breaking the stem at the base of the soil;
knocked 4 plants off their shelves onto the floor, one of them twice;
dug two of those plants OUT of the pot after knocking it over, requiring me to re-pot as well as clean up the mess; one of them TWICE;
opened the cupboard door in the bathroom, dragging out the entire package of toilet paper, removing the rolls one by one and rolling them all over the house;
knocked all the stacks of papers off my desk;
slammed into the screen door repeatedly until it popped open and she could try to make her escape to the exciting outdoor world of hawks, owls, and coyotes;
knocked screens out of 2 windows trying to do the same;
knocked the cell phone off the table where it was charging;
climbed the bricks of the fireplace, lost her grip, grabbing on to the floor lamp nearby on her way down, taking it with her;
climbed the curtains in my bedroom, bring them crashing down;
climbed my clothing to the shelf in the closet, and then proceeded to knock everything on the shelf down;

If only she would take the time to contemplate and enjoy each of her acts of vandalism, I might be able to keep up with cleaning up after her.

25. !

And this is why I have a dog!

Not that I can't see the appeal of having a cat... it would make life interesting!

[LWolf]

26. And right now,

she is curled up a few feet away, napping, and looking SO innocent.

24. A cat struggles to articulate his existence...
