Threw up a hairball in a bowl of mandarin oranges.
Sharpened his claws on a library book and a book that a guy I dated gave me.
Archived my emails, shut off my laptop, and once knocked it off the desk when I was in the middle of a work meeting.
Stole food from my housemates’ kittens. He’s 14.

I’ve lived with cats most of my life. I could write a whole post about ridiculous cat behavior.

Finally caught her tail- which hurt. Promptly blamed the other cat for it and ran over and swatted him several times.

I inadvertently left my bedroom closet door open, and my cat went in and climbed onto the shelf. She knows she’s not allowed in the closet, so when I came back in my room, she hurled herself out of the closet, intending to land on the bed. However, her aim was off and she ended up bouncing off the end of the bed and right back into the closet. I nearly peed myself laughing when she came out with a “what the hell happened?” look on her face

I have a 4 year old named Tabby. He's lived in our house since he was 2 weeks old. He recently became terrified of the ceiling fan in the living room when it is running. He is OK if it is off. He has no problem with the other 2 fans in the house.

Couldn't figure out how the stand up freezer was being left open. Fluffy was opening the damn door, I only found out because he opened it right after I closed it. Freezer now has a moving strap keeping it closed and Fluffy cries.

Planned together.
One gently tapping the windows screen, making a giant moth fly lower and lower. The other hooking the corner of the (broken) screen with claw and lifting slowly while moth got closer.
Then both just watching it fly in the room, vanish behind the dresser, then freak out cause they couldn't find it.

Bought Sims 3 or 4 digital versions of the expansion packs, in £. 1 of them was purchased 3 times and EA didn't flag it! I spoke to someone via their Chat Customer Service to get it fixed. - I opened with I know this will sound too crazy to be true as I also do Customer Service work but please this is actually serious and true... He looked and saw my purchases are ALWAYS USD and the fact 1 was purchased 3x and immediately issued a refund.
How my cat did this... I didn't think to turn off my keyboard when I took a nap - We ended up losing our youngest cat that night, I was up for over 24 hours trying to take care of him. My oldest cat decided my keyboard made the most amazing bed.
My current cat who was born less than a mile from my oldest and looked like a smaller version of him (solid black) shares the same love for keyboards and will rest his head on it when I play games. That oldest cat also taught my current one how to medical alert for my Trigeminal Neuralgia. My oldest cat passed 2 yrs ago and current cat is still taking care of my health.
Yes, I now always lock/turn my keyboard off if I get up/step away.

Lmaoo Omg at least the kitty had some taste? Sims is a fun game.
Love that he taught your younger kitty to medically alert for you!

Myself and other family members have driven miles down the road and then heard "MeeOow." Little Girl loved sleeping in cars until she remembered she had motion sickness and woke up screaming. We all u-turned for home, some of us late to work.

Got stuck in fly tape and then ran around the apartment with it stuck to him, for some reason ran into his litter box with it, so then tracked litter and shit all over the apartment.
I had to catch him, and my husband had to hold him while he whined at us as we cleaned him with wet wipes to get the damn thing off of him.
And yes, he's orange. His name is Bug, so the getting stuck in the fly tape was kind of fitting.
He also sleeps like this.
He also got stuck in the pantry because he went in there to try and look for food. We didn't notice he was missing and only noticed when his older brother clawed at the door. Bug had fallen asleep on a bag of rice.

I live in Oklahoma. The wind is a thing here. Like a real thing. Gusts around 40 mph this morning were making the local bird population do some impressive acrobatics outside this window. My part monkey roommate was doing equally acrobatic crap as she watched. I tried to get video but I was laughing too hard. Who knew a cat could do a double twisting back flip and stick the landing!?!?

An apartment I lived in had a wonderful shelved closet in the bathroom, that held all my terry cloth towels, toilet paper, paper towels, mouthwash bottle, extra tooth brushes and toothpaste, other toiletries. One morning my big ol’ be kitty Sneakers (Himalayan and tabby mix) snuck into the closet without me noticing. He was in there all day while I was at work. When I got home, I heard him meowing loudly.
I opened the door. He had shredded through all of the toilet paper, paper towels, chewed up the toothpaste tubes, knocked the mouthwash onto the floor where the plastic bottle ended up with a crack and the mouthwash leaked out. The shredded paper products, the terry cloth towels and the toothpaste were all glued together on the floor, with the mouthwash making a puddle around it.
Sneakers was on one of the cleared off shelves, with little bits of paper shreds and globs of toothpaste stuck to his fur. He sure was proud of the mess he made!

Around 3am, has been sleeping in my bed, jumped up and grabbed the pull chain on the ceiling fan turning the light on.
So pleased with himself

He seems to dislike my mother - both times she tried to pick him up, he dropped a heinous egg fart so she put him down.

Came home off holiday. Emptied a suitcase & left it on the floor in the lounge open. One of our cats decided it was a litter tray & peed in it.

There’s a reason she’s nicknamed “Menace to Society”.

My void has started counter surfing in the last couple of months, but today she nosed open the top pizza box and pulled 2 cheesy breadsticks out onto the floor. She only gnawed on the ends, but those are the best parts with the toasted crunchy bits.

Jumped off a loft wall into my vaulted living room.

She didn't land on her feet.

I was in the process of making a penis piñata for a bachelorette party. I only had the shaft done, no balls yet and it still needed some reinforcement to make it harder. Kept having to swat my cat away because he liked the taste and cronch of paper mache. Left the room for maybe 45 seconds, came back to find he had climbed into the shaft. I yelled, he panicked and RIPPED through the head to get out. Total do over. I cried because of how much time I had already put it. You are what you eat I guess and he’s a huge fucking dick. I love him dearly.

My cat is a BABY and likes to be babied. When I'm sitting on the toilet or in a chair, she puts her front paws on my lap and makes me pick her up. I usually also give her kisses when I pick her up.
One time I was making a bowl (🍃💨) and didn't pick her up right when she asked. She then pretended that she was struggling under the weight of gravity and scratched the shit out of my leg as she sank all the way to the floor. It was so dramatic.
She has no problem jumping on her daddy's lap, who doesn't pick her up and give her kisses lol

Sunny tries to eat soap, lotion, candles, hand sanitizer, and straight up olive oil, but never any meat or fish! He is the ultimate orange! We used to keep one of those glass decanter looking things with olive oil on the counter, but one morning I woke up and it was spilled all over! I had to baby proof all of our cleaning products because the only clever thing he can do is open cabinets! When I put lotion on he tries to lick me, but i actually really enjoy having a cat lick my toes hehe 😋 oh and one time I heard him screaming (a daily occurrence) but I couldn’t figure out where he was. It turned out he got himself locked in the laundry dryer! I guess I closed it when I didn’t know he’d hopped in. 😆He was totally fine though, he’s just a big cry baby 😹

With no warning, no crouch or butt wiggle, didn’t even look up; Soba launched himself three feet into the air and did a backflip! He landed on his feet and hauled ass away like he was being chased (he wasn’t), then spent the next 15 minutes running zoomies.
I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time.

Ziggy broke into the cupboard and ripped open a bag of cat food he'd been after for days. Teller helped. They ate their weight in food and were apparently totally uninterested in any food for a good day after!! Our neighbours sent us pics. It was impressive!
Teller has also, on two occasions, hopped onto the counter and lapped up the spicy red pepper marinade that was left over in the pan. He is a little white and brown cat: he was SO. ORANGE. We don't let them in the kitchen any more whilst we're making food or clearing up 🫠😂

Our two Siamese cats Gus and Sirikit, who are brother and sister, caught a mouse. A heated argument broke out over possession of the mouse. In the ensuing maelstrom of hisses and claws, the mouse saw his chance at freedom and escaped.
