What odd behaviours do your cats have?

Interrupting an important tail-chasing session to Put That Bedspread In Its Place.

Both my cats let me know several minutes in advance that they are going to use the litter box.
The go next to the box, sometimes pacing up and down, sometimes just sitting nearby, and start howling or meowing out loud... even at night...

Phoebe does that! Pre-poo zoomies or announcing it loudly, she makes sure everyone knows.

Suva does that, but adds the extra step of meowing so I can watch her do her business.

Her other odd behavior is she only kneads 3 blankets...and only does it when we are near them or under them.

My girl Leia, 7 months, is a kleptomaniac. Her favorite things to steal are personal grooming items, hair/toothbrush, tweezers.... even a disposable razor. She has a hoard under bed bed in the spare room

She simply wants to be a beautician some day, and is practicing at a young age to get a head start!
Eva will steal things like that, and create little hoard piles. She really likes silverware. My Moms cat years ago would steal any hair tie she could, and hoard them on top of a cabinet where she'd bat them around (and drop them between the wall and the cabinet. Whoever bought that house is going to be very weirded out if they ever decide to tear those cabinets out.)

 

[Silver Crazy]

Willow hisses at odd times, not just when she is angry or frightened like most cats. She may go to yawn and hisses instead, or be acting silly and hissing at the walls or her toys. And sometimes she may be clearly happy but a hiss just seems pop out.

+++Sounds like tourettes syndrome to me..lol

 

[Silver Crazy]

I thought my Bengals were crazy...this is too funny

 

[Lulu&Finn]

Lulu growls when the doorbell rings and has taught Finn this. Finn! The sweetest cat every born...growls.

Lulu also has a routine to wake me up, open bureau doors, pull out socks, climb in, scratch way up onto armoire, climb curtains, rapidly move claws along mirror making a noise no one could sleep through..jump on bed, sniff my nose to see if she's succeeded.

She's the naughtiest cat I've ever owned. She's so mischievous.

I love it when yawns contain a little squeaky noise, too!

I call this a me-yawn. 🥱

Honey, your Bengal is crazy! Cute, adorable, but crazy.

Now, see, this reinforces my hypothesis that cats are just very small, furry dragons with short noses!

This, I believe. When Juno curls up in a ball and barely peaks her eyes out, watchful of her territory, I call her my Smaug.

 

[GranolaLouise]

Louise sticks her paw in the water bowl every time before she drinks!
And when she wants her breakfast she quacks like a duck or honks like a goose!

I moved things around in the sun room, which is pretty much tailored to the cats, yesterday. Their chair was moved, their toys and trees were moved, and their litter box was moved. No issues with the moved litter box, what great cats.
The funny part came at feeding time. Goof eats on a cat tree by the door, Sarah eats on a cabinet under a window, and Lila eats on the foot part of the recliner. It's been this way for years. Goof's tree and Sarah's cabinet didn't move, but Lila's chair was moved a few feet to the side and turned 90 degrees. When I brought their food out, Goof ran to his tree, Sarah ran to her cabinet, and Lila ran to the old spot, did a complete 360 degree turn, then leapt onto her chair.

He has a marvellous new habit of ‘double-twitiching‘ his tail when traipsing near me, like an old man w/ a bamboo cane: “wot‘s all this then?“ A sort of jolly, good natured curiosity about how the day is going, telling me with his tail.

Other than that, not much, but his did bottle brush his tail for the first time ever. I think he is going deaf and gets startled by noises.
