myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277) 4 years ago

this morning i woke to find that my lovely moggie Max had got out, i have tried to keep him indoors since he was injured by some thug a little while ago, but he must have found a way out somehow, i lock the cat door at night now so other cats don't get in, well i searched all over for him but i couldn't see him....the next minute i looks up and there he was sitting high up in the cherry tree, he looked so cute so i took a pic of him.....isn't that sweet? wub so i called him in, fed him and gave him water, then he went into my bedroom for his nap....anyways here i am typing away here in mylot and he came back into the livingroom then headed for the cat door, it was locked so he couldn't get out...the next minute he picked up the cat door from the inside with his teeth, and off he went...lol...now i know how he got out, i had locked him in, but forgot to lock the other side, so during the night he'd found a way of getting out...LOL...he is a clever little cat, but i don't want this to be a habit of his because i am scared that he'll get hurt again, does anyone else here have a cat that does things like this? i always got told that cats weren't that clever, WRONG!!! but it seems that mine knows how to escape even when the cat door is locked...LOL....i was surprised to see what he was doing, it's like he has a mind of a human sometimes....see pic below...my max in the tree...lets hear your funny cat stories? lol

I think cats are persistent little problem solvers. Where there is a will there's a way. That should be the cat motto. Where we used to live my cat always managed to pick open a a closed and locked pet door and mangaged to escape through it. We had to put heavy suitcases in front of it to keep the cat in. Our next door neighbors didnt like us and the cat used to go onto their patio all the time and one time got into their house. I was worried about what they might do.


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  4 years ago

well i have started to keep him indoors because some idiot injured him a while back and i had to get him ti the vets, but it's funny how cats can figure out a way of getting out, who ever said that cats were stupisd are wrong, if he wants to get out then he will...lol....if i do let him out then i go for a walk with him then bring hiom back in, but finding him up the tree was funny...he looked so sweet up there....lol...

myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  4 years ago

I have a cat who loves to "knock on my kids' doors at night. Sje knows that it is cool inside those rooms and she "knocks endlessly. Her knock is a different accent of "meow!" which sounds like mo mo!


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  4 years ago

LOL mo mo, lol....now that's funny, i can just imagine your cat knocking on the door...LOL, how sweet....mine scratches the carpet if he wants to come into my room, but i had to put some flooring down because he was ripping the carpet, now he just sits and waits...lol...

Cats definitely are very clever creatures! I had a cat who learned how to open doors; at least the kind with the lever handles. He would get up on a chair near the door, lean over and push down on the handle. Once it clicked open, he'd get down on the floor and pull the door open with his paw. Amazing!I had another cat who wasn't so smart. He was always investigating things, like cats do, but this one time he couldn't get back out. He just sat there, waiting for someone to rescue him! I heard him meowing and came to investigate. I started laughing so hard! The poor cat had to wait until I got my camera to take a picture of him! Here it is:

Hi tattylashes,

Tamara


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  4 years ago

LMAO...lol, i shouldn't laugh but that pic is awesome...lol...lol...oh how sweet....that pic is brilliant, thanks for the giggles, he looks so much like my max, aren't cats just the sweetest things?


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  4 years ago

thankyou Tamara, i must admit, he is quite a handsome little fella...


myLot reputation of 99/100. mentalward (6159)   ranked 64 out of 5,817 in cats  4 years ago

It's okay to laugh! Go right ahead! I laughed myself silly when I saw him in there! He never did it again! LMAO

Yep, I noticed that Mustard and Max look very much alike, too! Mustard had a sister, whom I got at the same time (abandoned kittens) and I named her "Honey". They were so sweet! Honey was definitely the smarter of the two! LOL


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  4 years ago

oh i love the name mustard...it's really sweet....i am still giggling about that pic you posted, it's so sweet....max is up a tree right now, every time he gets close to the wood pigeon, it flies off and he's left dangling there...LOL...so funny...now he's getting fed up and is trying to get down from the tree...this is where he hides when he sees the pigeons but he can never catch them, they are too smart for him, i have lots of funny video's of him trying to catch birds but they always outsmart the poor little fella...LOL....

Hi tattylashes,

My cats not so cleaver, but they always manage to open cupboard doors and sleeping in there, most of the time my other cat just sleep in the garden until she wants her food but Tom just sleep any where in the house not doing much.

Tamara


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  4 years ago

ah, so you have 3 cats, i would love to see some pics...i am a HUGE cat lover, Max is forever getting stuck in my bedroom, he has ruined the carpet trying to get out so i have had to put some floor boarding down so he doesn't rip the carpet...he is a good little kitty though...he can be so funny....lolwubrasp


myLot reputation of 96/100. tamarafireheart (13724)   ranked 229 out of 5,817 in cats  4 years ago

You have a beautiful baby tatty. Cats, like dogs are very smart. I've sat and watched mine at times and could just see the wheels of their little minds turning as they figure things out, lol.


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  4 years ago

awwww thankyou...he is special to me, he's not a year old till september but he's well advanced for a kitten of his age, i saw him once play with this orange m&m, he played with it for ages, then there came a time when i was having a new floor laid in my livingroom and we found the orange m&m under a trunk that i keep in my livingroom, as soon as he saw it he went nuts....pardon the pun, it was a nut m&m...LOL.....he still has it to this day but it's been beaten around every room in this house that it's full of hair and bits now, but he still plays with it every day.,...LOL...he loses it, then keeps finding it again...happy


myLot reputation of 98/100. moondancer (4017)   ranked 825 out of 5,817 in cats  4 years ago

aaaah he sounds like the best little baby. I have dogs and they are this way about things. Let a piece of ice hit the floor they go after it and play with it until it melts, lol. This is the way with many things they find to play with. They even hide it from the others so they are the only one to play with it, whatever it is at the time.


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  4 years ago

awwwww that is lovely...max has this little red ball too that he loves, he has tons of toys but the orange m&m and the red ball is all he'll play with, it's so amusing...i could sit and watch him all day, especially when he does his funny leap, he looks like a ballet dancer...lol...


myLot reputation of 98/100. moondancer (4017)   ranked 825 out of 5,817 in cats  4 years ago

yeah, cats are like that. I have min-pins that leap and jump like cats. They are so cute in the things they do.

Anyone who tells you cats are not that smart is obviously not a cat lover, and obviously does not know your adorable little Max.

Such a cutie, and such a nice tree, too.


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  4 years ago

max knows what he's doing, i know that for sure...i mean he must have been doing that for a while and i haven't seen it till now...he is up the tree as i speak, i think he just likes to watch the world go round....lol....the tree he is sitting in is our cherry tree, it's got a good crop this year, although the cherries on this pic are quite young and hadn't ripened until now, this pic was taken a week or 2 ago....the tree is huge now....happy

when we had our own home we had a black cat called ebony and that cat could get doors open like you would not believe, we could'
not find him one day and looked allover. I went into the kitchedn and heard his pur, he had opened a door to the kitchen cabinet and made himself a nest among my pots and pans, little sneaky cat.


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  4 years ago

awwww that's so sweet..wub..Max usually gets inside my linen cupboard because it's nice and warm, but i had to put a lock on it because he loses alot of fur in the summer and he moulted all over my clean linen, your cat sounds like a cheeky one doesn't he? lol...i love cats.....wub

Doesnt he look trouble? Well, when we first aquired Guinness, he had the same look on his face. It took him a few days to get used to his new environment but decided that he needed a birds eye view of it all, so he climbed the nearest lamppost. He got to the top, we still dont know how. I was taking the kids to school when i saw him clinging on to the top. I was convinced he would fall so i carried on my way. On return i saw no cat, nor red patch on the floor. What had happened is that a compasionate man had got out his extendable ladder and climbed it. He had spent twenty minutes struggling to get Guinness off the lamppost and had eventually succeeded, at which point gUINNESS HAD ACCEPTED THE LIFT DOWN and casually walked off to finish breakfast. He doesnt climb lampposts anymore.
blessed be


Guinness asleep

myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  4 years ago

OMG i used to have a cat called Guinness....wow how weird, he had a white head and a brown body....lol...i thought i was the only person in the world who would name a cat guinness, lol....awww i am glad that he got down safe from that lamp post....my cat is into everything but since he got hurt by some freak i have been very wary about letting him out on his own, today we went for a sdtroll around the garden and he loved it, chasing butterflies and bees...he's on a mission today, he found a feather so he's having a ball with it right now....cats are so funny aren't they? by the way, Guinness is gorgeous, i just saw his pic...awwww....sweet... src="http://www.mylot.com/images/emotes/happy.gif" alt="happy" />
