Attack of the Hydrocat: Do you have a troublesome little feline?

So, my cat hates taking baths and being sprayed when she's naughty and whatnot. With that being said, though, she also can't keep away from glasses of water when they're sitting around. You put down a glass of water with some ice in it and seconds later you hear her batting around the ice cubes in the glass until finally she becomes bored with it and knocks it over causing quite a mess. Does your cat have any sort of annoying habit that drives you a bit crazy?

I have a very small garden patch that has some bermuda grass growing on it. It's quite small that it would be ridiculous for me to get a lawn mower to trim the grass. So i use garden shears. Since I work nights and there are time that I let the grass overgrow, there would be other weeds growing that would need pulling out. When I do this and cut the grass, my great furry helper is...on top of the grass that I am about to trim. LOL. When I move him, he pounces back. When I sweep the cut grass, he dives in and messes it around. When I get tired I bury him in the grass. LOL. But I do get the grass trimmed only, an hour job becomes three because of my furry helper.^-^

Understandably annoying and yet so adorable :-)

Yes he is adorable, but I do worry sometimes when he bats the shears with his paws and I am cutting the grass because I might hurt him. This has never happenned so far and he loves being buried in the grass because he knows he has really irritated me. LOL

Hmmm, maybe he loves irritating you because he knows it will wind up with him being buried in the grass? Clever little devil.

I had a small spray bottle that I used to shoot the cats when they were being bad, like attempting to kill the plants on the window sill. They really have it out for the cactus for some reason! Well a few days ago I found they had shoved my spray bottle off of the kitchen counter and broke the nozzle. Im absolutely sure they planned this. Afterall, everyone knows that cats will find a way to get even.

That link was very entertaining...also a little disturbing! I think I will keep a close eye on the cats from now on. Thanks for the early morning chuckle!

Well, my cat Jake will lap the milk from my husband's glass if he is not looking. sometimes my husband allows him to drink it. Yuck. What Jake does that annoys me so much, is the way he attacks my other cat Scoots. Jake acts just like the bully in school. He will be laying down like a little angel, and as soon as my husband and I leave the room, he is stalking Scoots. She is so sweet, and it really makes me angry with Jake. So now, every night we put her in the bathroom with her food and water, actually she enjoys it in there. When we get ready to go to bed, she automatically gets up and goes in the bathroom.

That's really nice though that a somewhat negative turned into a positive. Cats are eternally like small children in the way they act nice around their parents until they let them alone.
