why are housecats psycho?

Published May. 17, 2008

A bit of a lighter topic. I am making a cup of coffee. The cat struts into the kitchen and gives me that "Well I came all the way in here, so give me something you stupid human look".  Once in a while I will give this crazed animal a bit of half and half. I pour a little in the cat's dish. He walks over and starts drinking. Suddenly, as if some demon from below appeared in his dish; he does one of these four-legged sproing moves straight up about two feet off the floor, and proceeds to tear out of the kitchen at top speed. It is particularly hysterical, because on the kitchen floor he can't get traction so the first gallops, his feet are going, but he is not.   I have no idea what spooked him, but it sure was fun to watch that little episode.

Cats are great pets, they can be very funny. Our cat is around 15, she sleeps on a pillow beside my 19yr son. Sometimes she sleeps on his pillow like somekind of head shroud.

Maybe it's because it's 'Caturday'...

That's known as the "time to change rooms" maneuver. There is no logical reason for it that humans could possibly understand. Just go with it and make sure you're not in the way when it is time.

my cat does similar things, she's really quite hysterical, and pretty agile for an older cat (14) she still chases her tail sometimes. you'd think after 14 years, she'd know it's hers!

Also, my husband can entertain himself for hours by putting tape on the cat's tail or foot. (My husband does need to get out more.)

In a moment of "bravery," our cat attempted to attack our guinea bird. The bird leaped straight up in the air, turned 180 degrees, and pecked the cat's tail. The cat has left that bird alone since!

Cats are hilarious, because they don't mean to be funny. They take themselves way too seriously. They always have that "I meant to do that look", when ever they goof up.

For a minute there I thought you were talking about one of my cats! I like dogs, but really, cats are a lot funnier!!!

Sorry, stupid pet tricks is not only for cats. Our female chow/sheperd mix does that stuff. Just out of the blue she'll jump up and run like a maniac through the entire downstairs. She'll pick up speed and jump on the couch running sidways across the back. (God help anyone sitting there), and then'll she'll just stop, flip around and look at everyone like "who wants some of this"? and go flying off again. We do this whole skit about Ginger being a race car drive, and go comment on her laps. Keep in mind this dogs weighs around 65lbs. on her skinny days.

I used to have Pergo in my lower level (b4 the fire) and my youngest kitty would get a wild hair and scrabble as hard as he could on the slick surface, slide down the hallway and take out the throw rug at the front door and bang into the door to bounce off and slingshot up the stairs. He did this at least twice a week, bless his poor soul.
