Does anybody else have a cat that just freaks...

When the DVD, CD, or CD_ROM trays open? one of ours has to run immediately over to it and stare at it. If you get a DVD out she is always right under the DVD player waiting. And then she whirrs at it and stands up reaching for it. She figured out today that if she pushes on the CD_ROM one she can get it closed.

1. One of my cats thinks there's a critter inside the printer when ...

it's running.

3. Yes the one who likes to watch the trays open

we have to watch her she has actually pulled the paper off the printer as it comes out.

13. Yeah, we had to put ours up high.

Our cats thought that the moving parts were like mice, suitable for catching....

2. I used to have a cat that was terrified of ceiling fans....

No problem if it was not turning but just reach up and tap it a little and there was nothing but a black blur exiting the room...

5. In the last house we lived in with a ceiling fan our oldest

would jump for it when it was turning. Glad the ceilings were high enough she could not reach it.

4. Havoc loved music very much and used to push the buttons on the boom

box, trying to get it to play. it was not unusual to come home and see the CD tray out and both cassette trays open. Caught him in the act of fiddling with the thing many a time.

6. Ours was sitting this afternoon trying to figure out how to open

the CD_ROM tray. She has figured out how to open the cabinet doors and drawers. I find her in my t-shirt drawer all the time. She is the biggest twirp. She likes to sleep in the sink as well.

7. The sink is cool. Sounds like a good place to be if you live in fur.

We had a cat who would spread out on the toilet tank with his legs hanging off the sides. Lived in the Rockies and that water was COLD even in August! Always a bit of condensetion on the outside of the tank, it was that cool. The cat would hang there on the tank til well after sunset each day for about 5 weeks out of the year.

8. one of ours rotates from tile floor to tile floor

she lays with her belly flat against it til it gets warm then she moves to another spot.

The sink thing is because she likes to drink fresh water right out of the tap. if she drinks bowl water she dips her paw in and licks it from there.

9. Mine too

My cat also does this, and she is also attracted to the printer. She tries to stick her paw inside when it's printing, messes up the print job. If you touch her while this is happening she jumps a foot in the air, so it must really stress her out.

10. It could be the high pitched sound

Ours likes to watch the paper come out.
