Such funny stories! I love reading about cat quirks
Where to start? I have a small cat-shaped hard rubber dog toy that I think is cute, so it sits on the shelf above my computer. Whenever Paris feels I am ignoring one of her many demands, she jumps on the shelf above where the toy sits and knocks it down, usually hitting the keyboard, and if her aim is right, it bounces and bops me in the nose....I swear she does this on purpose because she looks me right in the eye and has such a smug look on her face lol!
My blue DSH just loves my dirty socks...the really soft fuzzy ones I wear to bed. She carries them around like it's a trophy mouse, making that mrowing sound like she's calling kittens to come share the kill....for hours...
Simboya likes to sleep with us. He jumps into bed and ungracefully flops over like a dog would, usually onto my back or legs...he's not the lightest cat in the world either, so I really notice when he does that...
Tart will sit near and stare at me for a long time, like she can't figure out who I am or what I am doing in her house
Malaki will only eat out of shallow oblong-shaped dishes. I think it's because his stud jowls are so big that other bowls tickle his whiskers! If I dare to try using a round dish, he knocks it to the floor or won't eat out of it. He doesn't like plates, either. His drinking bowl has to be a large heavy dog crock. Nothing else will do.
Lily likes to taunt Paris, and the resulting swat and hiss will send Lily racing into our arms, where she wraps her front legs around our necks and buries her face in our chins...just like my kids used to do when they got picked on by their siblings, even if they started it...
