How does your cat drive you crazy? email this discussion to a friend?

I just got finished cleaning Columbus's barf off of two rugs. It was a muddy mess. I became so angry that I yelled at the cat, although he probably didn't understand why I was so upset. It just seems to me that when he has to barf, he chooses a rug every time! Aside from an occasional poo on the floor, Columbus's barfing on the rugs is his most disgusting habit. I dread the day that he upchucks on the blanket. Ugh!

I know that cats barf, but why, why, why on rugs, which are hard to clean? That stuff is mighty hard to get off a rug too.

Sometimes Waffles poos on the rug, but she senses that she's done something wrong and runs away after hearing me tell her that she's a bad girl. Mimi rarely barfs. Unfortunately, she chooses the rug hands down.

All of the above drive me nuts, and tempt me to take the cats back to the shelter, but I love them too much to do that. What does your cat do?

My cat has this habit of loving to roll all over clothes fresh out of the dryer. It drives me nuts. I have to take the clothes out and get them folded or hung up and put away fast. Heaven forbid I have to walk away for a second to check on the kids or get more hangers. I come back to find my long haired cat loving all over my laundry and getting hair all over the freshly cleaned clothes.


myLot reputation of 99/100. scribe1 (930)   ranked 1 out of 5,920 in cats  6 months ago

Ugh, that would drive me nuts too. I have a similar problem, where I would place clean tee shirts, towels, and sheets on the bed and one or two of the cats would jump on the bed and walk all over them. I shoo the cats away, but the damage has already been done.

My cat Paborito has the "hots" for something fresh as well!He rarely sleeps in my bed, but everytime I change the sheets, he would be there sleeping like a baby.

Oh how many times I have followed my cats holding out paper towels for them to barf on but noooo...they scoot away and throw up on the carpet! The thing that really gets me is my baby Georgette, she loves to pull on threads. She has managed to put a large run right across the living room carpet. Then we have Siren she looks so cute and innocent, those big eyes. She is a nip fiend. She likes to travel through the house and knock pillows onto the floor then sleep on them and of course shed on them! There are far more sweet moments than bad moments so I scold but never stay mad. I bet you can't stay mad at your babies long either.


myLot reputation of 99/100. scribe1 (930)   ranked 1 out of 5,920 in cats  6 months ago

No, I can't stay mad for long either. You certainly have your work cut out for you, though. It's so annoying to pick those pillows up and get all of the fur off of them. Otherwise, that fur winds up on your clothes, and it's embarassing when it lands on the wrong place on slacks and jeans.

I can't tell you how many times that one of my sister's dogs sheds like crazy and leaves her fur on the chair. A few times, I sat on that chair, only to wind up with the dog's hair all over the butt part of my black pants!

My parents, about an hour ago, decided that she wanted to climb up in the bathroom sink and investigate the glass jar that they once kept q-tips in.

Needless to say, the jar didn't survive. Thankfully the sink that it fell in, did. I yelled at the cat because she has no business climbing on things in the bathroom, or even being in the bathroom, and for that I was reprimanded by the parents.

I love the cat, for sure, but that doesn't mean I love her strange q-tip fixation. [She also gets them out of the trash whenever she sees them thrown in.]


myLot reputation of 99/100. scribe1 (930)   ranked 1 out of 5,920 in cats  6 months ago

Lol, a cat fixated on q-tips. That's really different -- and funny too. Bet that you have to find a way to disguise the q-tips that are thrown away. But I understand your frustration. I wonder why she does that, though. Maybe the smell or thrill of the hunt?

Both my cats chew on plastic bags, I can't leave one on the counter for more then two seconds before they find it. Very stressful.

One funny thing that doesn't drive me crazy, but its funny. One of my cats loves the tub, he loves the water but hates the shower lol. So I turn on the tub every night to warm up my shower, he comes bolting from a deep sleep...eat...poo whatever and jumps on the tub. I turn on the shower and i hear thump thump splat thump (this is him scrambling to get out)and he gets out all spiky from being wet. And every night I saw...Oh mario you're all wet you silly kitty! haha every night, you'd think he'd learn:P


myLot reputation of 99/100. scribe1 (930)   ranked 1 out of 5,920 in cats  6 months ago

I can't understand cats' things for plastic bags either. I've shooed Columbus away from my plastic garbage bags, but he keeps going back for another nibble for whatever reason.

And I love your story about your Mario's jumping into the tub, then out again when the shower is turned on. It's so funny how he just appears from doing whatever he happens to be doing at the time. Great story!


myLot reputation of 77/100. Annmac (289)   ranked 1,319 out of 5,920 in cats  6 months ago

My cat Kia, loves the bath tub too, and the kitchen sink. She's fascinated by soap suds too and tries to pounce on them!!! She then falls in the water and unlike most cats that would jump out immediately she just sits there or swims around waiting for me to rescue her.

Speaking of poo, that's just how my female cat (Teddy) drives me nuts! We've potty trained them, and the male cat (Paborito) have learned how to, but Teddy, ugh! She was out all day and just a few minutes inside the house, and she will have lots of poop all over! I am slowly losing my patience on her!


myLot reputation of 99/100. scribe1 (930)   ranked 1 out of 5,920 in cats  6 months ago

Cats just seem to know how to press the right buttons. Have you noticed that? Especially in your case, where your cat doesn't poop until she's back in the house. You certainly have the patience of a saint for putting up with that.

My cat does several things to drive me crazy....1)when I don't feed him AS SOON as I walk in the door from work, he moews and meows and meows like crazy....2) when I am sleeping he deliberately jumps on plastic bags or anything that makes noise to wake me up....3) he crawls onto my pillow at night and wags his tail in my face and there are many other things he does but I love him anyway!


myLot reputation of 99/100. scribe1 (930)   ranked 1 out of 5,920 in cats  6 months ago

All of that would drive me crazy as well. It's funny how cats strictly adhere to whatever habit they are used to and will make sure that you comply as well. They have long memories, that's for sure!

I had to work nightshift on Sunday night and I got home in the morning and smelt this aweful strong potent odor and new exactly what it was as soon as I got a wiff of that peeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwww! My cat sprayed and the only problem was that I didn't know where until my hubby told me it was coming from the bathroom where we kept the litter. I have to get my cat fixed this week because I believe it's time for he has done his first territorial spray. Wow that's strong just like a skunk. As soon as I knew where the odor was from I changed the whole litter pan and haven't smelled it since thank god.
When we had our dog, he had a habit of lapping up water like there was no tomorrow and so we had to cut down on his water during food eating time. When he would guzzle this water after he ate he would throw up on the carpets or wherever and out kitty would run to it and start eating it YUCK! So that's another thing that grossed me out about our cat.


myLot reputation of 99/100. scribe1 (930)   ranked 1 out of 5,920 in cats  6 months ago

Eeew! Seeing a cat eat another animal's barf would gross me out as well and make me want to puke. That's so nasty! And so is a cat's marking of his territory by spraying. The pee from that spray is hard to clean up too. Yuck!

I have no cats no more, my last cat went missing over 2 months ago now, and I do not know what happened to him. But he used to be sick a lot. He would eat so fast that not long after he would just throw the lot back up! He used to do it behind the tv over all the wires, oh that was such a trial to clean up. But eventually we realised that just before he was sick he would let out a wail and so we used to scrabble behind the tv quick, grab him and run outside with him before he let it out. One day I did not make it and I had cat sick all over my leg and feet, my feet were bare at the time he he, not nice. But I miss the little rogue.


myLot reputation of 99/100. scribe1 (930)   ranked 1 out of 5,920 in cats  6 months ago

That's so sad. Sounds like the cat had a tummy problem, like maybe worms or something. Otherwise, he wouldn't cry like that. He might have also had tumors. It was a shame that any of that had to happen. Maybe he's roaming the neighborhood or had been caught and placed in a shelter. You might want to check the shelter out to see if anyone has heard anything about the cat's whereabouts.


myLot reputation of 93/100. gemini_rose (7269)   ranked 697 out of 5,920 in cats  6 months ago

We wormed him regularly, but gosh tumours that would have been terrible, I wonder if he had died somewhere? That would be awful. We went round all the local cat places and vets and left his details and a photo but have heard nothing back.

I have a bed which has a gap under it as storage space. When I go to bed (and this happens every night without fail) my three cats will be lazing around under the bed. At about 3am each morning, they decide it's time to get active and start chasing each other round the room, jumping on each other and generally making a racket. Then, as soon as they hear me getting up to put them outside the room, they scoot back under the bed where I can't get at them.

They're crafty. Too crafty...


myLot reputation of 99/100. scribe1 (930)   ranked 1 out of 5,920 in cats  6 months ago

Oh yeah. Sounds like they've got everything figured out and are pushing all of the right buttons....at a time that you really, really want to sleep.

My cat doesn't do anything like that but she has her little nutty quirks like wanting her midnight snack every night at the same time and if I get busy or occupied she lets me know if I am late with her dinner, and she stands there waiting for me to change her litter box, and right after I'm done putting fresh litter in she dives in and starts pawing around getting litter all over the floor

And when she's done she goes tearing around the house because she feels better

mooch


myLot reputation of 99/100. scribe1 (930)   ranked 1 out of 5,920 in cats  6 months ago

And when you put all of those quirks together, you have enough to keep you aggravated for awhile. My now-deceased Tabitha always used to scoot from the litterbox after she finished pooing. Unfortunately, she'd drop one or two pieces in her mad dash away from the box.
