Cats Do The Stupidest Things!
Earlier today I went out in the garden to call my cat and I couldn't find him. Suddenly I could hear some rustling in the conifers and looked up to see a little furry face staring down at me. My cat had climbed up there and was now stuck. After about half an hour I decided to get a ladder to help him down. As soon as I got the ladder out he decided to come down
As anyone else had a similar experience with their cats?

When I was a child one of our cats got stuck on the garage roof so my Mom stood on some step ladders and tried to reach it. The cat suddenly stepped onto her head and clung on lol It was the funniest thing I had ever seen my mom looked like she had a David Crockett hat on.:D
My cat (RIP) used to do so many 'stupid' things. She would meow to get out into the back garden at the patio door (Bit difficult to open) so we would open the back door for her a few metres away. She would ignore that and stay meowing at the patio door. Eventually when that was opened she got up and walked away back into the living room.
She made me lol so many times, I miss her
If it was raining or snowing out back he would turn around, stroll through the house to the front door and demand to check if the weather outside there was more to his liking!:)
Wish I caught it on camera, it was very funny to watch.
Once we opened the back door to let her in, however she didn't come in. She sat there and meowed at us. I think I picked her up in the end to bring her in.
My old neighbour had a mad cat that loved to sit on a high wall and whenever a dog walked past it would jump down onto the dog's back and then back up onto the wall. Then it would sit there, out of reach of the angry dog, totally ignoring the barking and snarling below it.
2 hours passed and we tried everything - food, toys etc. OH went to bed and left me seriously debating if it was OK to call FIL at 1am to ask for a ladder. I even contemplated calling the fire brigade.
2am and I was still sat out in the communal garden shaking her bloody treats....
She did eventually come down, she struggled a bit though. Stupid cat.
This tree became her second home once she was spayed and officially allowed out.
She also climbed out of the teeniest gap of the sash window when she was teeny and thankfully OH found her.
In current home: Most recently she jumped out of a window (about 12 feet up) and got onto the main street where she has never, ever been, She has access to balconies and the rooftop but not the street as we are top floor. Thankfully she proceeded to mew up at the window until I went down to get her. Needless to say that window will never be left open again.
MIL's cat disappeared for 2 weeks and turned up some 20 odd miles away. They reckon she'd either been along the train lines or even on a train lol...
OT but friends dog once jumped on a bus without her
I wasn't there, but the story from my dad is as follows...
He hadn't seen Muffin for the majority of the afternoon which was unusual, so he went outside to call him in. He gets outside and happens to hear some kind of commotion at the bottom of our street, so goes to be nosy and see what's going on.
Apparently a cat (:rolleyes:) had been loudly meowing for ages and a neighbour had heard him and saw that he had managed to get himself stuck high up in a tree, so decided to call the fire brigade to help this idiot cat get out of the tree.
I'm told that the firemen were very nice and highly amused that they had been called out to get a cat out of a tree, and sent one of their men up a ladder to help Muffin down. Unfortunately Muffin refused to go with the firemen, so my dad ended up going up the ladder to get him down. Apparently a few people had gathered to watch. I wish I'd seen it!! I still feel mortified to this day that the fire brigade had been called out for Muffin in a tree, as kind and well intentioned as the neighbour clearly was
All's well that ends well, I suppose. We never really saw him up any trees after that :rolleyes:
He also used to threaten dogs who were being walked past our house. I remember one day I was chatting to my friend's mum who was walking her dog past our house, when Muffin starts slowly creeping up towards their dog, who backed off to hide behind my friend's mum. He looked so confused, the poor thing!! I couldn't stop apologising to her- how embarrassing!!! She just found it funny. We saw him do this a few times to passing dogs- any dog Muffin deemed to be on his 'territory' would get the same treatment!! We always worried one day he'd pick on the wrong dog. Fortunately the dogs were always very kind and didn't go for him- I think they must have been too bewildered!! Daft cat.
God I miss him- life just isn't the same without him around to embarrass me!! :D Beautiful cat.
that made me laugh out loud !! :D:D:D:D
i just had visions of a cat starting up like a car and driving along the road :D::D
I have two boys, Pepper is a house cat, he goes out to do his business but he doesn't go far and loves the house. Ever since he was little he's always loved sitting in empty boxes. But yesterday because I gave him a box, he won't sit in it. He only wants them if he thinks they aren't his. He loves playing with my dogs teddies and he loves it if I wave a dressing gown cord in his face, it he spends ages trying to catch it and licking it and chasing it. If I try to do that with his brother, he catches it then lets go, he's not interested. He'd rather catch a real mouse. It tickles me how they are brothers, and we've brought them up exactly the same yet they have such different personalities
He just doesn't stop, to try and keep the peace with the neighbours i'm usually out there in my dressing gown shaking a packet of dreamies trying to encourage him to come down.
