Mine can’t screw with the toilet paper as I put it in a container hanging from the linen closet doorknob.
Mine only meow when they want attention.
When younger they used to do this but now they have outgrown the demented toddler stage and carefully pick their way through stuff without knocking anything over.
Mostly they aren’t annoying. On occasion they believe the second it is light out it is time for breakfast even if food is in the dish.
The most annoying thing one does is that he chews on the lightening end of phone cords. The others don’t do that.
The cat I have now is a very polite and well-behaved little guy in his tuxedo suit - although occasionally he BOUNDS across the bed and me early in the morning because SQUIRREL!
I did have a cat who peed outside the box and that was terrible, but he was so sweet otherwise.
As the season is now turning towards fall all they want to do is cuddle. It’s still freaking hot out and I’m over it. Mostly becuse they insist that we must cuddle between 6:30 to 7:00 AM.
Trying hard to stay between my feet while I am walking and am working not to step on or trip over them.
One of these days, one of them will lose that game and so will I.
I don’t so much mind the bits and pieces of stray animal parts as the entirely alive ones they drag thru the cat door to release and play with in the house. Like the blue jay… or THIS guy:
@chienfou I hope you managed to liberate the chipmunk unharmed. I had a cat who was at his cat dish eating, a mouse ran between his food dish and the wall (dish was at the wall), he turned his head to watch it run and see where it went, went back to eating and then sat in front of the fridge watching for it to reemerge from behind the fridge.
They have all tried eating cockroaches and decided that was no good (puked them up) but they play with them (once in the middle of the night on my bed no less). On the other hand frogs and lizards are eaten except for sometimes their rear legs, grasshopper and cricket (they prefer crickets) heads only are eaten (so you see the decapitated bodies around the house), and of course moths at the window are great toys.
@Kidsandliz We call the dead and usually legless roaches “broken cat toys.” A friend had a long-running problem with roaches entering through her patio door in a Black Friday rush whenever she went out that way after dark, and all three of her cats would gather around her if she went near it.
I hope you managed to liberate the chipmunk unharmed
Nope, that little bastard had been living under my fridge and ate thru the compressor fan wire. Good thing I noticed the fridge running hot or it (the fridge) would have been toast! Was able to rewire the fan, but it is a lot noisier than before and since it is over 20yr old is probably on it’s way out.
Had to ‘rescue’ the chipmunk from the cat, then Bandit was pissed when I flushed it…
@xobzoo yep! It when I do get to pet Thor, there is no where you can’t scratch / rub. Of course, the ed is his favorite and he loves his long tail stroked.
I’m not sure what’s more irritating, the meowing to his phantom friends at 4-5am or when he attacks our feet when we’re trying to walk. The meow meow in our face to wake us up for no other reason than he’s awake and we’re not is a little annoying too but all in all he gives us many more loving and laughable moments. It’s an absolute love fest and he’s a keeper for sure!🫶
Well Thor, will take off I like lightning and Zoom around the house. Yes, if you don’t keep the lid of the toilet closed he will be in it!
Oh BTW, the Doc was seeing me for my annual check up, he asked if there was ant trip hazards in the house, I Promptly said the cat!
My kitty died years ago but she was perfectly amazing. Not a single irritating, whiny, noisy habit and she was very much a people cat, loved being around humans. I have never had another cat because she was so perfect no cats will ever measure up to her.
If we don’t close the bedroom door at night, one of us will have an 18lb cat on our chest at first daylight, kneading and purring like a chainsaw and wanting to be fed.
@macromeh This is better than having a 16lb cat land on you when leaping down from the bedroom window in the middle of the night. The annoyance level of having three cats run across the pillow at Warp 6 at 3AM is situational.
We have lots of cats, They have many ways to be annoying.
@macromeh We still have no idea who ordered these cats, they just arrived. (Well, okay, a couple were hauled here from somewhere else, but almost none of them were actually supposed to stay here.)
@macromeh@xobzoo There may be, but we won’t drop off a cat anywhere except with someone who is going to provide it with a good and permanent home. Otherwise, it’s tantamount to dumping.
Our youngest cat likes to stick her butt in my coffee mug.
Seriously, I’m working she jumps on the desk, turns towards my coffee mug and proceeds to sit on it… If I move the mug to the other side of the desk, she follows it.
I don’t get the fascination with sitting her butt in my coffee.
@werehatrack she’ll also try to sit on it if it has water or tea in it. (Although usually it contains coffee)… It’s the mug, not the contents she is going after.
I’ve never had a cat but my wife had one when we got married. He made noise at night, would run up and down the hardwood floor hallway and ‘slide’, would stick his face into any bowl or plate of spaghetti, got catnip crazy if he smelled olives, and once tried to tear my throat out. Seriously, took a swipe at me as I walked by and got his claws stuck in my throat; had to get my wife to help disconnect him. Didn’t get cat scratch fever.
But the worst thing he did was die. Cancer. Little rat bastard, just when I was getting to like him.
I don’t have a cat.
Nothing really.
Wut?
Cat?!
Peeing where they shouldn’t.

Not existing. I love cats but I’m severely allergic :C

@Kyeh Tux cats are awe some! Even Lego agrees.

@yakkoTDI I’ve seen that!
It’s pretty impressive.
@Kyeh @yakkoTDI A cat you can take apart & reassemble! And store away without feeding in the meantime!
@Kyeh @yakkoTDI
That’s cool! $100 is a bit steep but I might get it for my grandson, his father would love building it!
My dog sometimes meows, among other sounds, for attention. It’s not annoying, it’s endearing.
Rush to the carpet to barf instead of the tile where she already stands.
@katbyter This!
As the season is now turning towards fall all they want to do is cuddle. It’s still freaking hot out and I’m over it. Mostly becuse they insist that we must cuddle between 6:30 to 7:00 AM.
Vomitting on a direct path where you walk or off a shelf…down the wall after gobbling a bowl full of dry food.
@KSchweitz I have a cat that does that too.
/showme a.cat projectile vomitting food.
Accurate
Trying hard to stay between my feet while I am walking and am working not to step on or trip over them.

I know a couple of women named Kat.
They both can be annoying!
@ratman, I resent that.

@chienfou Wait until it is a 4 foot long poisonous snake.

@yakkoTDI Seriously, what kind of mutant chipmunks do you have there?

@chienfou @Kidsandliz
@macromeh It was my mom’s Calico cat that brought home a water moccasin. I think that cat was part honey badger.
@macromeh @yakkoTDI YIKES!
@macromeh @yakkoTDI
At least it hopefully didn’t bring it up on the bed to show it off to you!
Ours will sometimes beg to be petted, but then get angry that we pet him.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No cat or dog-we had parakeets in the past.
My Tom will pee in my lavatory in my bathroom when I forget to clean his box.
@texmarc You mean in the toilet, or the sink?
I’d love it if my cat would pee in the toilet!
Does a cat-like dog count? If so I want to change my answer to “Screwing with the toilet paper”
@cbatte After fostering way too many kittens, I found this solution to the problem:

@werehatrack Hah, you must have missed the Extra Lazy checkbox on the order form.
@macromeh We still have no idea who ordered these cats, they just arrived. (Well, okay, a couple were hauled here from somewhere else, but almost none of them were actually supposed to stay here.)
@macromeh @werehatrack Is there a Pasta Drop of cats?
@macromeh @xobzoo There may be, but we won’t drop off a cat anywhere except with someone who is going to provide it with a good and permanent home. Otherwise, it’s tantamount to dumping.

@OnionSoup Cold hiny?
@OnionSoup We don’t know what coffee smells like to a cat, but this could be a clue.
@werehatrack she’ll also try to sit on it if it has water or tea in it. (Although usually it contains coffee)… It’s the mug, not the contents she is going after.
@OnionSoup @werehatrack Maybe you could supply her with her own separate mug?
That’s a pretty funny habit, although it does sound annoying as hell.
@OnionSoup Plant a cactus in it?
@OnionSoup
At least she can’t teabag you…
Running in front of me and slowing down to a saunter.
My cats are extremely quiet, well behaved, and industrious.

@duodec If you want another shot at getting to like a cat or two, I can fix you up with a pair. (These are long-term buds, I’m not splitting them up.)
@duodec
Oh, yes; I’ve had several and that’s definitely the worst thing they ever did.
