What quirky things does your cat do?

Every time I get water and ice from the dispenser on the fridge, Simba comes charging in like a lunatic!!:eek:
He waits for crumbs of ice to fall on the floor so he can chase it, then lick it to death.
He could be in a deep sleep, in a different room, but as soon as he hears the dispenser being used, he's off!:D

The dog just looks at me with a "help me" look on her face.
She also plays this game where she goes hyper all of a sudden, running up to the cat flap, striking it with her paws and then running out of the room. Then she keeps repeating the process! It's really funny to watch.
My other cats come running when they here the rustling sound of the dreamies plastic bags. They love their treats.
Dreamies and Simba are like magic. You rustle the packet and he may hear it, but he won't rush as he's not sure.
But crunch the packet, he recognises it instantly and you've never seen a cat be your best friend in a heartbeat!:D And he licks your fingers for ages after savouring the flavour.
The quirky thing Woody does is steal things. I call him Klepto cat. I have caught him with scissors, lids, a necklace, a key, my inhaler etc. I had to get a new inhaler once after he stole it and hid it. He is half cat, half magpie.
Like Simba, Archie knows the sound of the fridge, which is where his cat milk is kept (he will do anything for cat milk). He also knows the sound of the kettle boiling (which he equates to cat milk as I go to the fridge to get the milk for my coffee) so as soon as the kettle boils he is sitting by the fridge.
My childhood cat used to come running for the cheese grater.
Awwww
Now I let her do it in the bathroom. It's great fun to watch.
My other baby kneads my arm and licks it as though suckling. It might be because she's half-Siamese and they're often weaned too early (they should be a couple of weeks later than other breeds, apparently). It's really sweet, but painful now that she's 2 and a half. Don't have the heart to stop her, though!
She likes to cuddle up in bed, under the duvet with her head on the pillow.
She also loves cheese and butter, but won't drink milk. If I have cheese on toast, I have to cut a corner off for her.
If it's raining when she looks out of her cat flap (in the back door), she will nag to be let out of the front door, because the weather must be better out that way. Every time, she acts so disgruntled that it isn't.
When I'm watering the back garden in the summer, she'll watch what I'm doing, and then suddenly run under the watering can and get upset when she gets wet.
My cat does the same with tins of any sort even if he is upstairs sleeping. I always found it weird but it must be the tuna thing
I had a cat now deceased that loved Ethel Merman. Whenever I had on a Broadway cd and the song 'Everything's Coming Up Roses' came on, she would come running from wherever, even if she had been sleeping, and start meowing and rubbing herself on things with her back arched. Could never quite figure that one out, must have been something in the voice she liked. Was a proper party trick though - friends coming over would always play that song just to watch her do this!
She still can't understand mirrors after nearly 2 years and thinks it her friend!
I have no idea where it came from but I did find a piece of pizza on my decking a couple of weeks ago too.
Heidi my other cat, doesn't moew...but grunts kinda. I've never seen this before and she sounds like a tiny lion that grunts and roars slightly. And sometimes she tries to 'meow' but no sound comes out and you just see her mouth opening and shouting lol. We thought her vocal chords or something were damged, but vets said it's just her way and nothing was wrong. But both cats come running and literally apear from nowhere when there hear me opening a Dreamies treats bag. It doesn't work with any other treats, it's like dreamies have their own sound. And like the advert says...cats literally come running for them.
love my cat - if anyone lives alone i'd definitely recommend one for company
Oh, she sounds adorable! Especially re the cat-flap and watering can. Loon!
Thank you She is utterly adorable and a complete loon!
Another thing she does - when she sleeps with me, she insists on sleeping on the outside of the bed (it is up against a wall). In the morning, I have to climb out of bed round her, because she pretends to be asleep. It is uncanny how as soon as I am out of bed, she wakes up and jumps down :rolleyes:
Our Simba is the same age and does the same thing. So, so cute.
As for dish, we stopped turning it around, he gave up in the end and managed all by himself.:D
Awwwwww
They both play pat a pat with their reflection in mirrors and windows (or that's what it looks like).
Our old cat, who sadly died, used to say 'hello' when he came into a room. He always made two sounds, ending with a high up meow.
Shadow likes to sleep on the side of the bed closest to the door, so I have to get out the other side and walk round. I tried moving the bed, but he still positions himself between me and the door.
My sister's cat brought them home a chicken leg once. He was very proud of what he had "caught"
I have a ginger cat who loves jabbing her claws into the curtains when someone stands on the other side and she climbs all the way then just swings like a monkey.....lol
My baby girl only goes bonkers for the cheese ones - she likes the others, but sometimes it feels like she is doing me a favour my eating them!!
Your cat is called Shadow, and co-incidentally mine is called Holly. What are the odds on that?
My old cat Chessie during his life time caught an egg shell, a used tea bag and a yellow rubber cat head (many months later, we found out that it belonged to our neighbour's dog!)
The chicken leg made me laugh - I can just imagine someone going to eat their dinner and half of it is missing
This also made me laugh - I can imagine you get through a lot of curtains
