Tell A Story When Your Cat Did Something Naughty

Naughty?! *HaH*

Soon after we moved in the new house, with the nice new carpet, I decided to give Angel a bath, as she had fleas. For her companion cat, Toogie, a bath was almost the only way to control fleas, as he was very allergic to not only fleas, but all flea remedies of the time.

Angel detested the bath and everything about it. Once I let her loose from the towel, she ran into the den and peed right on the carpet in front of the piano. We never could get that stain out....

Angel is strikingly beautiful. It's hard to believe someone with such an innocent face could be naughty. Maybe you should have given her a lie detector test.

My good girl Daisy

is adorable but constantly plotting. One year, I bought giant dog bones for my Secret Santa recipient's big dogs. They were in a bag and I put them in my closet floor. I never suspected anything would become of them. Five minutes later, I walk into the closet and someone had torn into the bag and shredded her way through the plastic wrap on the bones. I had to buy new bones!

Yeah, I like maintain visual contact with Daisy.

You can see the wheels turning in her mind.

AngelinaCat, nothing is as pretty as a split-faced tortie! We have one, too; her name is Ms. Pepe and she'll be 19 years old in February. She's gorgeous, but she also has some of that tortie-tude.

As a kitten, she swung from the drapes in the living room; the result was huge (H-U-G-E!!) holes in our drapes, she chewed through the mouse cord on my computer, she chewed through several plastic items (inc. a loaf of bread and some pictures that we had on the table). She stuck her little head into my sneaker and then couldn't get back out; she meowed bloody murder over that one til I got her loose. She was quite the character when she was a kitten. I'm surprised she ever survived kittenhood!

Our Rainbow Baby, Banshee (aka the Queen B) was a character kitten, too, although not as bad as Pepe. But we had company one night and we were all sitting in the living room after dinner, just talking. And Banshee came running out the hallway into the living room, carrying my bra between her teeth. She got right into the center of the living room, tripped on the bra, and went butt over head, a perfect somersault. Everybody started to laugh, but I was a little embarrassed. Banshee was also the kitten who loved to unroll the toilet paper. I heard noises in the bathroom, walked in.....and there were Whisper and Banshee. Whisper looked at me and said, "Hey, I had nothing to do with this....I'm just watching!" and she took off. Banshee sat there in the middle of a pile of toilet paper, looking like she owned it. (And she did; she owned the house and everything in it and she wasn't above admitting that it was all hers.)

And I know some of you have heard this story, but it's one of my favorites (now), so well, here you go:

Our son had called; he wanted to come home for dinner that night. He asked me to make his favorite dinner (tuna and noodles with peanut butter cupcakes as his dessert). So I opened three cans of tuna and had the tuna draining in a colander in the sink. Well, Pepe heard me open the tuna (and around here whenever we have tuna, we have to open one extra can for the RugCats and then split the extra can amongst the six of them as a treat). She hopped off the top of the tv where she had been sunning herself. But she got a claw caught in the doily and when she jumped off the tv, she took the doily with her. And the crystal basket that was on the doily. Everything came crashing to the floor. The basket hit the register and shattered.

I checked Pepe's paws to make sure she's not cut. Got the vacuum out to get the shards out of the carpet. Walked out into the kitchen to see Booboo sitting on the counter, eating the chocolate peanut butter cups out of the cupcakes! Shooed him off the counter and called the vet to make sure Boo wasn't going to die from the chocolate (vet said he'd be fine). Well, while I was talking to the vet, I walked back out to the kitchen to see Banshee, front paws in the kitchen sink and her hind end sticking up into the air, chowing down on the tuna in the colander. I said, "Banshee get your butt out of that tuna!" and hung up on the vet. Got her away from the tuna, dumped the tuna into the trash, cleaned everything up, opened more tuna to drain, and then realized what I had done to our vet. Called her back (and she's laughing at me; she thought it was hilarious). We got it all straightened-out, I got dinner made for that night and got the cupcakes frosted that BooBoo hadn't mushed into.

But that was one long afternoon!

Thank you! Can you believe that someone actually dropped her out on the side of the road? I was across the street fueling the car. As the truck drove off, I 'jumped' the car across the road, and my then boyfriend,, who became my husband, and I picked her up.

She had Siamese ancestry, as she was VERY vocal, and had the long, slender oriental cat build. At other times if we did something she didn't like move her off one of us when we had to get up, she would emit a noise somewhere between a spit and a sneeze, something like !T'CHUFFFFFTTT!!!!

The first time we heard that, DH, said: "that's a little curse word!", And it was. We heard it many times thereafter.

Angel was with us for 18 years, and she retained that long slender build all of her life. If one did not know she was 18, it would be easy to think that she was a kitten.

As for the peeing; I saw it--far to late to stop it.

Did your son EVER get his meal????? I just re-read your post so I see he did. Your poor vet. She should write a book.

One of the other things Angel did, when she was younger, was this:

We have a cathedral ceiling, and clerestory windows in the peak. Between the clerestory window on the kitchen side of the house is a ledge, overlooking the refrigerator, and then the kitchen counter. So while we were away at work, she would get up and sit or lay on that window ledge watching for us. She knew we didn't want her up there. So, when one or the other of us drove up, we could hear, 'clump', clump', clump', 'clump' from inside the house while we were still outside. That meant Angel jumped from the window, to the ledge, to the refrigerator, to the counter, then to the floor, where she met us at the front door looking SOOOOOOO innocent.

Our newly spayed female kitty Bella, aka Isabella Charlotte, is part Abyssinian and she climbs a lot. She will climb to the top of our old secretary with just one leap! When she comes down , we hear it -THUD! However, she got naughty yesterday, when she knocked over my bedroom lamp - CRASH! The lamp was totaled, but I couldn't get mad at her: she's a good girl, for the most part. Here's a photo of our little Bella at her most innocent:

Haa haa, a pretty and dignified name for a pretty and innocent looking little kitty....

Behind that sweet and innocent face is a kitty practicing flying manoeuvers, superwoman powers and limbering up for big trouble me thinks.

She is a blue kitty and blue kitties know how to get in to trouble, so a blue kitty with a bit of Aby in her is going to be really good fun.

When Delilah was still a kitten, about 9 or 10 weeks old, my boyfriend and I had gone for a walk with her. We were sitting on the curb resting and my boyfriend sat his back pack down. Delilah climbed into the backpack and I was giggeling at the way she was sitting. Then I noticed her look and I lifted the flap back to see what she was actually doing. She was not sitting. She was squatting. and peeing. LOL He was so upset. I think she did it because it was the only place she could hide her pee. Luckily, it all stayed at the top. I ran into the bathrooms at L.A. Live and cleaned it up. and washed her wet bottom. What a day....

Remind me to check the next time Mouse climbs in to one of my bags and has a cheeky look on his face....

Wow, reading some of these makes me think we lucked out with well behaved cats!

The naughtiest Sinbad has gotten so far is to climb up on tables - which he only does when I'm right there to see him do it. He knows he's not allowed up there, but when he wants attention he starts making shows of jumping on whichever table/counter/desk in my line of sight to get me to get up and grab him.

But I can't really call that naughty, especially when compared to some of these stories!!

Our late, lamented Floppy liked to do physics experiments, a la Galileo and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. "Huh. There's an empty glass on the end table. Oops! I wonder how that fell! Oh, my. There's a full glass next to it. I wonder whether it will fall faster. Oops! Glasses sure seem to fall a lot around here!"

Jasmine's favorite toy is one of those fishing pole thingies, but instead of a string and something tied to the end, it's some kind of soft, fuzzy material, about an inch wide and maybe three feet long. When you wave it around it kind of floats in the air. If I leave it out, Jasmine will pull it out at night and clump around with it, with the handle knocking on the laminate floors, in hopes that I'll wake up and play with her, so I tend to hide it behind and under the sofa cushions -- easy for me to get out, but less easy for her (although, one of these days she'll figure it out, I'm sure). Anyway, one day I was busy with something or other, and Jasmine decided she wanted my attention, so she went into the bedroom and found something (I still don't know what) that she could move around that would make the same clumping sound. It worked. I went into the bedroom to confiscate the toy and put it back in the sofa, except, of course, it wasn't there -- it was still in the sofa.

This was not last Christmas but the one before. Destiny was 9 months, and Pyre was 5 years (who thinks she still 5 months lol) Needless to say "Mama" went looking for a new tree with metal hinges, instead of plastic ones.

Our little tortiseshell, Little Bit, is regularly naughty. She's the epicenter of naughty. In so many ways.

All the cats are indoor-only, but she always is trying to sneak outside.

My cat, Ace (profile picture), loves jumping into my other cat's kennel when I'm not looking and eats his food. I caught him in the act today and he saw me and ran!

I finally got him!

Whitney is a pretty mellow cat even though still young but just yesterday I bought a bunch of new cat food and since I was busy I left the grocery bag full of cat food on the floor rather than put in it in the pantry like I usually do. My plan was to put it in later after doing other errands. I had also placed on the kitchen floor a new rug.

Even though Whitney had already eaten a full breakfast after my errands I noted she had tore into the grocery bag of cat food. Most of it was cans but there was one freeze dried raw pouch that was not cheap that she chewed through. She got freeze dried cat food all over the new rug and kitchen floor. In addition there was a pouch of wet food that she chewed through and got juicy wet cat food on the new carpet and kitchen tile. I took a while to clean that goop up.

My cat is far from starving. She is borderline chubs at 9 lbs 11 oz. But I guess she wanted something different. New rug is in washer now.

This past Saturday, I was upstairs taking a shower while DH ate breakfast. Our little guy Regent thought it would be a great idea to scratch the carpet by the stairs where DH wouldn't see. DH recognizes the sound, looks up to investigate, and says "no!" in a stern voice. Regent ran upstairs and found me leaving the shower. I didn't hear the downstairs commotion. He came trotting up to me, acting all adorable and wanting kisses. I was like, such a sweet boy to greet me out of the bathroom! Then here comes DH looking to see where he'd hidden and muttering about a scratch. Regent tried to act like DH was imaging things.

mservant · Oct 1, 2014

@VBCatParent they're so good at that sweet and innocent look aren't they!

I met that look thismorning when I got up. The last thing I did before going to bed last night was put a bundle of 4 letters and cards in to my rucksac and tied it shut with a bow. It's quite hard to open as the fabric cord is pretty hard to pull through the eyelets.... When I turned the light out I could hear Mouse pulling at the bag but I relaxed in the knowledge I'd tied it shut. Not as safe as I thought!!! When I got up the evidence of his lordship's night time play was evident with a trail of all 4 envelopes on the floor in various states of chewed corners and from beside the bag to right over by the door.

This means my boy has learned how to pull to untie tight bows....
