The bigger they are...

both my black cats. the big one likes to run at people sideways all hunched up (we call it the igor) when he wants to play.he'll zip out,come back,tag your foot and run off again. the new kitten is a mattress swimmer. she starts at one end,and zips along the sides by her claws. then there's the 3 am bouncing ya-ya's.

I have no pets due to Landlord decree, but my parents have several who have habits that will have you in stitches. For example, Mooch lives up to his name by slipping a paw into any unwatched beverage, thus living up to his name. The Maincoon, who's name is going missing at the moment (it is very late right now) will walk onto the back of any person so foolish to bend over. Rainbow (who has sense passed on) loved to bury her head into clean clothes or between cushions just like the mythical ostrich.

Well Elic Gissi can be a Goofball to believe me Like sitting nice on his back Legs and falling over or falling of the Settee He will charge into the Kitchen with wet paws and slide all over the Place You know silly things like that but fortunately he has not ever hurt himself

LOL. That is funny. I have a new puppy and he thinks he is such a big boy already. It does not take much to scare the wits out of him too though and he takes off running. He is only 4 months old LOL, but he thinks he is a big one at times. He only weighs 7.5 pounds.

You're right! I can relate. I hear the sound of claws sliding down a wall and know that one of the brothers has done something stupid. Khuay is the king of goofball stunts. The other day he saw something in the dog's play pen and he tried to reach in and grab it, but it didn't work. He jumped up on my office chair and leaned over for a better look in the pen. That didn't satisfy him so he checked and saw that the Dachshunds were sleeping, so he jumped into the pen. Unfortuneately he didn't turn off the sound on his feet and landed with a thump! The dogs woke up and surrounded him, washing him like crazy. Little Bit also plucked hair (he likes pulling hair out of cats for some reason, he doesn't hurt them, but they get all kinds of "Cat Licks" from it) so by the time Little Bit and Monica were done, in 45 seconds, Khuay was soaking wet! He jumped straight up and over the barrier and raced for under my bed where it was warm and he could dry off. I know there are graceful cats out there, somewhere. I just don't get them. Of course I don't really want one who is graceful as they wouldn't be as much fun as the pair I have! If they aren't falling off things, they are falling into things like the toilet! Also it would leave me without anything to post on the lot!

Oliver sounds like quite a character.

All pets are goofballs, at some time or another. LOL My crazy cat likes to do back-flips, and play with toys with bells on them. haha He especially loves to do it in the middle of the night while we are trying to sleep. The other day he flipped his toy into a bucket of water, and we had to hang it up in the bahtroom to dry. haha

My Whiskers is the exact same way. Only he falls from higher up. He has this knack when he's in mountain lion mode to literally run up the security screen door and perch on the main door. But sometimes he gets the main door moving when he jumps on it and ends up doing just like Oliver and grabbing for air as he goes tumbling. Usually he'll fall onto the sofa behind the door. But once in a while the dork will fall the other way clear to the floor. And of course then he looks at ME as if to say "mom why the heck did ya push me off the door?" LOL

I only have a dog, and yes she's a goofball, but mostly she's just Spunky and I couldn't imagine life without her. She and I played in the first snowfall of the season today that didn't melt by lunchtime and it was a hoot to watch her try to stay airborne so that she didn't get her paws wet. lol

[b] Awwww! Poor little guy! That sounds painful! Ow! Is he okay? Hmm...I wonder, is klutziness contagious? You know me, I have a terminal case of "dropsy!" And he did visit when he was young! Maggiepie STALKERS WILL BE EATEN BY AN ATTACK CAT!___^..^

[b]Hmm. Just by the bye,' you identified each of 3 paws' characteristics, but that leaves one unaccounted for. Are you saving for some 4th, possible, as-yet unrevealed trait/identity? Or for some other reason? Maggiepie STALKERS...BEWARE ATTACK CAT!___^..^

That's a cute story. Those cats keep u entertained, lol. My dog is about like me too old to do tricks anymore. Darn it, for both of us.

Hey Elic! I hope Oliver is alright! My two crazy cats do all kinds of acrobatics and jump from the highest places and I always worry that they are going to really get hurt! But, they seem to land pretty well even from the highest places, even though some of the landings are a bit off! They seem to go craziest at night, as most cats do and my cat Star seems to be the most daring! Luna is not into heights! He seems to get into closets and behind cabinets and the sofa and other tight spaces! But, Star is the climber! He jumps from the tops of the kitchen cabinets like they are on the floor! And he makes me so nervous because sometimes he just misjudges the distances and falls pretty hard! But, he never seems any worse for wear! Poor Oliver! I guess some of them never do learn!lol

Oliver sounds like such a character; I hope he doesn’t hurt himself any more! We have a new kitten. He is 2and half months old and a crazy goofball! Like all kittens he is extremely cute and I had forgotten what handful young cats are! He has already broken my favourite vase and ripped into my jacket and I am sure there is plenty more mischief for him to get to! I found him in the rubbish bin the other day, he was stuck and could not get out and when I pulled him out he was covered in filth so he had to have his first bath after only two days in his new home. His name is Hewy and I can’t hear him right now…I better go and check what he’s up to...
