Stick his bum in the air while his front is crouched down when I'm preparing his food?

Everytime he comes back from outside (even if he's only been outside for 3 seconds) meeows like a loony until I've patted him?

Hide under the throw on the sofa rather than sleep on top?

Only eat some food but then meows for more food later on and also not finish that?

Catches and eats flies?

Cheers. smile

Ours hides from the wife all day if she is home.
Soon as I walk through the door he thunders down the stairs and is sociable all evening...Hmmm.

Does ours paw frantically at the window of the internal door next to his bowl after eating his dinner?

Haha!

I've been on a stag do, apparently all the sod's done is sleep upstairs, then after having dinner, has gone out all night.

The minute I've turned up, he's back in the house being friendly!

She's probably horrible to him when you're not around.

Apparently they "dig" around leftover food to save it for later and cover their tracks from predators.

I got a book from M&S I think called 'why does my cat do this?' quite good, covers a whole range of wierd cat stuff.

Decide the only appropriate time to thoroughly wash himself very noisily is 2am on my pillow?
Miaow in more and more dramatic tones even though he has fresh food, fresh water, toys, a bed, and has spurned cuddles?
Try and sit on my chest when I'm in the bath?

That is what is known as a bloke cat. I've got one too, he's started drooling on me as well.

One of mine used to patrol the side of the bath whilst I was in it... Well, until the day she slipped....

I'm sure there was a clip on YouTube of someone who set up a camera in his house to see what his cats were up to when he wasn't there.
It was pretty funny IIRC.
