Christopher the Straw Stealing Cat

Christopher the Cat
October 11, 2022 8:19am CST
Don’t ask me why my granddaughter named him Christopher, I don’t have a clue. He joined our household under protest because we already had a house cat but pretty quickly stole the show with his antics! His favorite activity is to remove the straws from everybody’s cups and stash them around the house to play with. I took this picture of Chris a few days ago. He paused his straw wrestling match to pose for me.

They are funny. I used to have one that loved to play with milk rings. They were his favorite toy. He also liked to chase and retreive popcorn kernels. He was a funny cat.

Christopher sounds like quite the character. He is a handsome animal.

@HomewardBound ........We have two young kittens only about six months old. They can't try my patience at times.

He definitely is a handsome character, and sometimes a pain in the neck but we love him.

I read your response to a post of mine where you talked about this cute cate. It must be pretty interesting to watch him do that.

Cats have some quirks. A friend of mine had one who would steal the headphones from your music player and another who brought in crisp/chip packets

@HomewardBound My cat, Gaia, has become very talkative and now has an opinion on everything!

They all seem to have different quirks.

That’s so funny he likes to steal straws. Animals too have their own personalities. My niece just named the Siamese cat I gave her Stuart. Christopher and Stuart are odd names for cats .

We have two cats and one dog at home. But I prefer dogs to cats. I'm afraid of their claws. But my grandkid said they withdraw them when playing with you.

some cats may steal attention, but some cats are also annoying, they follow wherever we go.

My Shelby Ann will steal straws as well but she will chew them and wind up upchucking. I keep them away. Christopher is such a pretty kitty.

Cats do some pretty funny things. We have two, and Grayson had a habit of stealing our pens and batting them around. We found a ton of them in the basement. lol

The reason is very clear, because he is very TOP can take your heart, that's why his name is ChristOPer.

I had a cat that would actually drink out of a straw. Cats are so funny at times.

That is funny that Chris likes to steal people's straws. I actually love when people name their pets with human names.
