Post examples of cat naughtiness

This is Smokey
It would need video to show her naughtiness speciality, so I'll describe it instead.
It's to sit on the floor somewhere, especially somewhere narrow where you are forced to pass quite close to her, and then, just as you are about to pass her, she will suddenly jump up and run across the floor, sometimes in a direction that forces you to stop rapidly or pull your moving leg out of her path.
She doesn't do it all the time, but every now and then. Which makes it worse, because if she did it all the time you would expect it. And then it wouldn't be so effective.

Oh I'm sorry, were you reading that? Any book or magazine left open will become a cat bed in about 0.2 phentoseconds
Yes, much better than that bowl that stupid human keeps offering me
Also has a habit of batting objects off the table (especially my phone or the mouse), waking me up for a cuddle at 3am and stealing food off my plate the moment I look away

Heheheheh.
Ours tries to kill us on the stairs.
So, one of us goes to climb or descend the stairs, especially at night when tired / half asleep.
Whilst halfway up / down....cat hits the stairs and 'exocets' past in a flurry of fur, noise and blurry paws.
Often nearly enough to terrify / unbalance us to the extent that one day, a deadly plummet down the stairs will be the inevitable result. Sigh
Jazzy our 14 yo tabby loves to sit on the laptop keyboard when you are trying to use it she also loves to sit on my clothes and when I go to get them she miaows loudly in a really pissed off tone when I remove her; she's done this daily for years so it's not as if she hasn't had time to learn.
She also sits on the wife and claws her, I think it's affection however it is both annoying and painful.

This is Jonesy.
His favourite game is pushing over pint glasses full of water.
Once, playing his favourite game whilst perched on a shelf above my bed, I got tonked on the head by a full, heavy, pint glass. And covered in water. And woken up.
He's going in a wheelie bin if he does it again.

Oh I dont know what it is about stairs but Loki does the same. He is unable to walk up or down, he has to run as fast as possible
Mine walks down normally but always runs back up. He also meows whilst doing so, which results in a weird oscillating MEoowWHHAoooRGHHH sound all the way upsinglecoil said:

Our three did that to me earlier this year, resulted in me kicking the door frame and breaking my little toe. Needless to say their plan to cash in on the insurance they have taken out on me, failed. This time......jazzy; whom I have mentioned already on this thread, when she was younger would wind up our eldest cat Pepper by hiding out of sight and when Pepper walked past Jazzy would swipe her and run off, it was hilarious to watch and also very brave of her as Pepper was most definately the boss of the house and wasn't afraid to show it, sadly Pepper was PTS in January however she had a good innings as she was 20/21.
The two black ones will drink water by dipping paws in to any glass left unguarded in the house. Toilet drinking is also not beyond them if left open.
Daisy (bottom cat) was a street cat and has learnt a lot of tricks such as opening pizza boxes by biting the lid/tab and flicking her head. I have caught her chewing the toppings off an unguarded pizza before. To make up for it she brings us presents, usually dead ones, however has recently decided that we need practice at catching small animals so live ones are the order of the day.
The parents have Mille and Buster (the terrible two) they're now 14 years old but still cause trouble wherever they go, the best trick is opening the front door, one jumps up at the handle and uses its weight to pull it down whilst the other uses her paw to open the door up.
If I'm ever staying over they feel it is their right to go out around 3am and the only way they can wake me is by a paw to the eye lid and gently opening it up. Needless to say at 3am a cat staring into your eye whilst a claw is mm away from your eyeball is not a nice experience.
The other odd thing they do is only drink from a running tap in the house. As soon as they're outside anything that holds water is acceptable????
