8. Cats never fail. They merely do things in their own fashion and we can't comprehend their genius

11. Exactly. Cats march to a different drummer.

In fact, a lot of times they're not marching in the band at all, maybe sleeping somewhere.

5. Cats really are creatures of habit.

I remember one of my brilliant felines desperately pawing at the patio door to come in from outside one day. I let her in, and she desperately ran to use her litter box.

10. My mom's cat used to do that.

She'd hang out in the yard all day, not doing much but pretending to hunt, but she'd always demand to come inside to use the litter box. She'd do her business, then she'd immediately insist on going back out to not hunt for awhile longer.

7. My neighbors' cat has created its own cat door.

They have a small room AC in a window just opposite my kitchen window. "Their" cat (I think they're feeding it) sauntered over to the window, leaped straight up about 4 feet, and walked through one of the accordion space fillers next to the AC. Our local cats behave as though they own this little street, and judging by the obedience their people give them, the cats are right.

9. My cat will walk through the cat door as I am opening the big door

He'll be right there next to me, knowing I am opening the door, but he dashes through his door anyway. He's weird.

12. IF you've never had a cat get stuck in a pet door.........

You're not owned by a cat. We have a fence system that makes sure they don't get out of the yard, their "allotted area". And the door is there, except when it goes to 20 below.

At least ONE gets stuck every spring!

This is great. Saving for spouse to giggle at in the morning!
