My name is Ellie and I’m brand new to the forum so ‘Hello and best wishes’ to all my fellow cat lovers.
I’d like to start by asking people what quirky foibles their cat/s May have.
Apart from nibbling my nose in affection, my 2yr old Oriental boycat ‘sweeps up’ around his food bowl when he is hungry. He puts quite some effort into doing this and will sweep for a minute or so then try and make eye contact or will ‘meow’ at me (he’s a VERY chatty cat anyway).
Also, he hoards little ‘treasures’ behind and underneath our sofa.
To my shame, my old sofa was a huge L shaped one, far too heavy to move alone so I’d shift it a couple of inches in each direction and hoover around it that way. On Monday, I was getting a new sofa delivered and the old one taken to a charity shop. The 2 delivery guys moved the old one and there were literally hundreds of pop bottle tops, milk bottle tops, cotton buds, ear plugs for swimming, shiny bits of paper, tin foil, asthma inhaler caps (now I know where they always disappear to), pieces of string, a withered banana skin and assorted other bits of trash. If I wasn’t so embarrassed, I’d have taken a photo. The guys were creased up laughing at the strange collection of ephemera and at me, down on my hand and knees (Only 1 hand - amputee, long story, lol) Turing to urgently gather up and bin this lot.
Cato was in the bedroom throughout this and when they had gone I let him in the sitting room and the look on his face was priceless...
First he looked puzzled at ‘his’ weird smelling new lounging item that I was allowed to use and then I watched as he went to the back and laid down and stretched one paw underneath and then, both paws. He was beginning to get a bit frantic so I pulled the new sofa right out - this one has wheels - and he looked properly stunned as he realised his ‘hoard of treasure’ was gone! If looks could kill I would be pushing up Daisy’s pretty soon.
What a strange fella eh? So, please Friends, do tell me about your cat/s strange habits and quirks.
All the best - Ellie.
