My cat likes...

[AnimalMkIV]

One of my old cats, Shabba, loved used teabags, butter wrappers and soft cheese. Many a time we'd go into the kitchen to find the bin had been ransacked and the above items strewn about.

He also had a thing for armpits. If I was stood up, or had just walked in, he would run up behind me, climb up my legs/back and curl over my shoulder with his head in my armpit.

He then developed a thing for bringing us presents. Not your normal cat presents of slightly icky half-dead things, no. He would bring us empty crisp or chocolate wrappers. We'd wake up every morning to find an empty wrapper outside the bedroom door. His best one though was an unopened triangular pack of sandwiches he'd robbed off some poor sod fishing on the nearby canal. Watching him trying to get it through the cat-flap was genius.

He also used to sit and stare at random spots on the walls, I don't think he was quite right.

Our one loves paper bags to sit on for some reason.

And boxes to climb in, as well as your pants to climb into whilst sat squeezing out a No. 2.

Yes - likes to be covered up; will climb into bags and do that forward-roll thing, ending up nicely wrapped with the nose poking out through the handles. Ditto boxes, or sheets of paper with the slightest ridge to get a nose under.

Also, ahem, warm underwear around the ankles. you know what I mean. (and occasionally on the shoulders when in the same activity)

One of mine will climb into anything, with little thought of how he is going to get out. He climbed into one of those hessian-style, Tesco bags for life, the other morning, it was upstairs on the landing, so I left him to it, went downstairs and started some washing up. Next thing I heard was a thud-thud-thud and looked round to find him at the bottom of the stairs, tangled up in the handles of the bag, mewing pathetically. Trying to free him resulted in swipes and attempts to bite me, so I had to turn the bag upside down to shake him loose.

Does anybody else let their cat sniff anything you are about to eat or drink? Or is that just me, they look so interested I feel they deserve to see if they might like it.

So far the biggest thing one of them likes is Onion Garlic dip.

Nope, tried her on the black stuff though.
She doesn't like Guinness, although the dog and horses love it

My usual beer of choice at home is Corona, with a wedge of lime in the neck. Quite often if our eldest cat is in the kitchen when I go to get one he wants to investigate the bottle. The second he sniffs the lime up close he turns tail and legs it. You'd think he'd learn, but at least I don't have to worry about the cats stealing my beer

I remembered, only because it happened again this morning, my cat Ryu sometimes likes to sit on my pillow and lick my hair and eyebrows as I am sleeping!

Any others?



(Just to add I don't feed him these items just that he's had occasion to taste them!)

You do realise alcohol is quite poisonous to them?
I wonder what antiseptic cream does to them?

You should be more responsible and keep them out of reach.

Perhaps you shouldn't be allowed to keep a cat at all (by the sound of it).

What was it about GTIR's last sentence that you didn't understand?

The amount of beer a cat would consume will be tiny. I very much doubt the OP poster has allowed their cat too have more than a few laps of it. Give them some credit!

I also very much doubt the antiseptic cream was offered on a plate to his cat, honestly! If I remember his cat is a Burmese, a breed known for eating wool and chewing furniture, I think OP poster has got off lightly

This has been a light hearted thread, you're putting my Monday morning blues to shame with a reply like this!!
