My cat Jason is quite the character. For 2 years he has been amusing himself with picking up sock rolls from the clean laundry and depositing them all over the house. But now he has a new hobby. He jumps in the bathtub and waits for us to turn the faucet on, and then he attacks the water. He doesn't seem to care if his feet get wet or if he gets a faceful. If we don't turn it on for him, he mrows until we do. I really need to see if I can get some video of it, because it is hilarious! What funny things do your pets do?

Sometimes they are very not funny. Princess owns the bathroom sink or any othe place she lands, because if she does not own it, she will slice you to ribbons, and love you all the while. Not good enough for a winning video.

You cannot win if you do not enter. Stash that video camera in the bathroom, just in case.

After the mama cat had left one of there baby kittens out and abandoned it at a family members house we took it home and bottle fed it all the way up till now. Rocky will be 1 year old in June and has become a great cat since that hot summer day he was abandoned. He has tool up a hobby lately, that hobby is to make us snow for the bathroom. One morning we woke up and there was about 6 inches of shredded toilet paper all over the bathroom floor. It was EVERYWHERE! So any way it angered us at first but then we thought wow thats kind of funny... So now we keep toilet paper WELL out of reach

Wow! I'd love to see that! LOL I don't have anything like that, but my Sun Conure imitates my husband and I sometimes. We can get her to move around all slow and weird. It's so comical. It looks like she's doing some sort of mating dance or something. Hmm, maybe she is. LOL I've also had a couple of cats in the past that did some funny things. One actually jumped in a flooded patio some years ago and swam to the other side. He never swam before nor did he have to. He could have went around it and not gotten wet at all! He'd also follow me around like a dog sometimes. Another one of my cats used to go on car trips with my husband and I. He'd sit on my husband's shoulders as soon as we'd get in the car and enjoy the ride! LOL He'd also spring up into my arms whenever I'd signal him too. I'm sure there are other things that my pets did, but I can't think of anymore at the moment. Happy mylotting!

Dawnald, I just put up a discussion last night about my cat, Minnie. I said she is my "Boss." My answer to what funny thing does your cat do is in that post! MyLot won't allow me to tell you here; I'd get yanked! P.S. I saw your post re your daughter's braces. I never wore braces, so I didn't know they hurt! Ow! Poor kid! But you are NOT a "bad mother!"

One of these days when one of the kids can run the water and I can run the camera!

I think one of the funniest videos I have seen on Youtube was a Funniest Cat video. It was so funny it had me rolling so I called my daughter in to watch it and she was laughing so hard she nearly had an accident. Sounds like your cat has a very good attitude toward life. Unusual that he doesn't mind getting his feet wet. That is uaually a NO-No with cats. My daughter's cat, Sabbath, meows when she leaves. It is pathetic. You can pick it up, love it, show it food, etc. and still Meow, Meow, Meow! He is past the pay age and just a darned tom cat with an attitude.

He doesn't mind to a point. When the water starts pooling, he is out of there!

I definitely want to see a video of that, how funny! Cats can be so amusing. My Twilight also likes to attack socks. It drives hubby crazy. Friday night he puts his work clothes out on the sofa for Saturday morning. He needs to be to work at 7:30 on Saturday morning, and I hate to be woken up. So he's learned to put his stuff in the living room so he doesn't need to disturb me once he's left the room. Well, almost every Saturday he still has to come back in the room anyway for socks. He puts a pair out there.. but by morning they've vanished. That's my Twilight for you. She'll play with any socks.. clean, dirty, rolled up, she doesn't care. Also, while I'm folding laundry, I put washclothes on the arm of the sofa, and I leave all the laundry there until the kids get home.. their chores are to put them away. I will only put mine and hubby's away. But by the time the kids get home, all the washclothes need rewashing because Twilight will jump up on the sofa and in one swoop she'll run off with a washcloth. It's funny to see just how fast she does it.. like lightning speed!

I love cats and their antics. And sometimes the best toys are the ones that you don't go and pay extra for!

Good luck on having a camera handy when he's the funniest. I had a cat that jumped into the bathtub to play and it wasn't empty as she was accustomed to. If I'd had a camera then, I'd have won a AFV contest I know. The look on her face and body language was priceless. Cats are so precious.

I guess I have one of the kids work the water while I wait with the camera and see if I capture anything good!

my daughter had a cat like that. didnt care if he got wet, tried to get in the shower with her. coconut will go out when she knows im going to turn the water on to water the tree extra. she will look at the end of the hose and as soon as it comes on she acts like shes trying to drink it all as it comes out and she will snort cause it gets up her nose even though we have 2 rooms in the house with a bowl of water for her at all times. and even though she hates baths or getting wet.

If the water starts pooling he gets out, but otherwise he loves it!

He doesn't like it when it starts pooling and his paws get really wet, but otherwise he just loves playing with it!

Lol! That sounds funny! My cat Hewy is quite a character too but I think Jason would beat him hands down with his water trick! My kitty does look amusing hanging off the budgie cage although the poor bird will not agree but the prize goes to Jason!

That one you need to catch on video and submit it wherever you can. The funniest thing my dogs do is play with each other, and while I smile and laugh, I doubt it would win a video contest.

It's hilarious the way he sits there and then he paws and bites at it. I'm going to have to try to get it...

That Sounds Cute and make an Audition Tape and Mail it in. Maybe You and Jason will be America's Funniest Home Videos. Also try You Tube to upload a Sample to How much Viewing You will get. No Pets at the Moment. I had Two Dogs Years ago. Good Luck.

We have that show here in Australia as well, so funny...I would love to get something put on it as well, but my cat doesn't do anything, I think you just have to be there at the right time to get something good enough to send in.

You do have to be. There's a video somewhere of my brother's family sledding down a hill, and the camera goes flying and you hear ow ow ow. They ran right into my sister with the camera. She won't let anybody show it though...
