Cats's rules

Hey Elic! I definitely can say that you have more cat weird cat stories than anyone that I know! I guess that's because you have more cats than anyone I know!lol And Rygel beats most of them! That is some dangerous trick he was doing with the pushpins and thumbtacks! I can definitely say none of my cats ever did anything quite that daring! Although I did have one cat, Cougar who loved it when I threw my darts! He would cry and scream and try to catch them! And, yes they were the "real darts with the pointed tips"! He would grab them and run with them in his mouth! He just love it when anyone would throw them and he would grab any of them the fell where he could get them! And since me and my friends were not the best dart players there were many that missed the dart board! So Cougar had a ball! How I miss my baby! I took the dart board down after he passed and haven't played since!

-giggling- Rygel sure is a lil stinker, Elic. Can't believe he actually got those flat pins out. He must of really been concentrating hard to get those out. No, I don't really have a busy cat like your Rygel but I do have a mighty curious cat..Tigger. This cat just wants to be in the middle of everything and anything I do in the house. I can't wash clothes, dishes, read, prepare dinners, or even chat with my friends on here without him sitting down and watching every move I make. If I happen to be sitting/laying to read, he'll come up and proceed to make my lap a chair and 'read' with me. He will mew non-stop at me when I'm at the computer it I scoot up in the chair so he can lay down behind me. If I don't move, he'll jump up (with his broken leg) and lay on the back of the chair and then slowly sink down onto my shoulders. If I don't move, I get a wonderful neck massage with his vibrating purr.

My parents have a sleek little Siamese named Sassy who likes nothing better than to squeeze in a drawer (they need only be opened an inch) and she can leak out the cupboard. She's like an oil spill, she can get anywhere.

my oldest tux picks apart knots with his claws-and he's multitoed,so nothing seems out of the realm of swipe.he sat there and did that to a batta bird,and ran off with it.you have to watch that one every minute he's good at a+b=c result.

We have three so there are toys all over. Once a week we pick them up to vacuum the floors. We usually just set them in a dining room chair. As soon as the vacuuming is finished, one of the three (the baby of the family) will stand up to the chair and pull one toy at a time off, drop it on the floor and then reach for another until she has returned all of the toys to "where they belong," then she's usually finished and goes off to find something else to do.

Wow, that is one talented and determined cat! LOL I have to agree that cats think EVERYTHING belongs to them. If they want it. The foster kittens I raised in my office all believe that pens and pencils are cat toys. Period. And now that I have taken up knitting again, oh, dear! I'm outnumbered! My ball of yarn took several unauthorized trips around the living room. One kitty was so excited about it all that she just started tearing full speed across the living room, down the hall and back again, running over the extended yarn on the rug. She was having the time of her life. It was adorable. Now my ball of yarn is somewhat safer. My husband made me a yarn keeper out of a big plastic pretzel tub. He drilled a good-sized hole in the plastic screw on lid for the yarn to go through, and that works nicely. Now the only danger area is between that lid and my needles. I do get the odd claw in my knee as Miss J goes after it as I knit. We had another male cat who discovered a wall clock we had. It didn't have a crystal over the hands, and there was a second hand ticking around. He was fascinated and of course couldn't resist it. We never did find out what he did with the hands! Poor clock.

Lol well done on him, I guess he decided he was bored and kept himself occupied lol I used to have a Cat who opened the Fridge and shared it with the other Cats by throwing it down to them in the End I had to put a Child lock on it as it was getting a bit much replacing everything all the time lol

Ya better watch were ya step now wouldnt want tacks in your feet yuikesssssssssssss

I have a goat that likes to head butt everything and every one. When Pickles wants my attention, he head butts the little back porch where the back steps are. Or he head butts the gas bottle which is chained to the house. He has head butted the laundry door and knocked it off it's hinges (he would go in the laundry and shut the door on himself and not be able to get out. I would go and let him out and secure the door shut...that's how he came to destroy it.) If Lucy wants to come in or Banjo, they stand at the back door and Pickles does his thing...it's like ..."Hey Ma-aa-aaa, Banjo wants in!" This is what he does between 5:30 and 6am to wake me up and again just on dark to say "Hey!!! feed us...we're starvin' out here. They've already had lots of hay through the day, now it's time for their treat...steamed flaked barley with molasses. We've reinforced the garage door because on the other side is where his hay is kept so when anyone goes to the garage, he thinks he should be fed. He's not quite as clever or adept as your Rygel but he has a way with him. He was head butting me for a while (after me saying "he doesn't do it to me")

I was worried for my cat's life one time because my sister was going to kill him. She would come home from school and plop her purse down in her room. Of course, she figured that he wouldn't get into her room or her purse. Needless to say, several days later she was proved wrong only when she kept finding out that her pens began to come missing. We caught him one time, reaching into her purse only to fish out a pen, put it between his teeth, walk out of the room and proceeded to play with it in the living room. After playing with it for a while he would then walk away to his cache' of the rest of her pens. She was so angry with him. lol

Well, isn't that precious! I hope he didn't hide any in the sofa, or your bedroom rug.

i did have. but once i found him with thread hanging out his mouth. i pulled it out and a needle was on the end of it! ever since then i've kind of treated my pets like babies. they have no idea what can hurt them. cupid our cat had obviously swallowed (or tried to) the needle id had stuck in my curtain with thread.

Oh yes! The new addition to our family Hewy is a crazy baby! I have already mentioned here that on his second day at our house he broke my favourite tall vase, he has chewed curtain cords, ruined his brand new cat bed and has my other cat Rosie hiding in my bedroom in fear of him! He is not three months old yet and has a lot to learn like how to slow down for two minutes! If it wasn’t for the fact that he is so darn cute, I would get so angry at him!

My cat, Manja, is so much similar to your Rygel. She is so hyper active that we have to constantly keep a look out. My biggest fear though is that she loves to chew newspapers. I hope that does not cause any harm on her, do you think? Recently, we had to throw our sofa. Ever since I had not have a new one yet. Now, Manja switch her interest on our kitchen cabinet. Oh No!

LOL. That is funny. I do not have any cats right now but I do know that they like to take ownership of just about anything they can get their little paws on LOL. I have a new puppy and he likes to explore just about everything also.

no but I lived with my old roomie for four m onths and that cat Charlie loved to get my watch if I put it anywhere where he could get a paw on it. I had to chase it down several times. oh and my lipstick he loved to roll it along the floor, any thing not fastened down was fair game for Charlie.He found a spool of thread and boy did he have fun as it rolled along and trailed pink thread all over the room. my roomie was so angry all the time with the poor cat, he was just being a typical cat.

Anything that's not food is a cat toy! Usually that's socks (Jason) or bottle tops, boxes (Oreo), anything resembling a string (especially if it's attached to MY bookmark and inside a book), etc. Of course, Tiger confuses toys with food too, especially if they're made of plastic. Pushpins though, that's a new one on me...

I can't get over your cat pulling out the thumb tacks. Our Sleepy is much too laid back for anything like that. He spends most of his daytime hours sleeping. However,just let a moth or anything else that flies get into the house, and he's wide awake.

Hi Elic, What a clever cat but hopefully he won't hurt himself doing that. Tamara

Our cats have several rules that are absolutely non-negotiable. One is that whatever you purchase for them to scratch their claws on, it will remain utterly untouched, and the carpet and sofa will take punishment instead. Another is that anything is good for sleeping on - but clothes in particular. Our very hairy white cat, who sheds a snowstorm of fur every time he sneezes, is fond of anything made of wool - so, we now have several garments coloured in his fur! Final rule: if you're going to cough up a furball, do it just after everyone has gone to bed. Leave it as a present for your poor owner in the morning...
