Worst thing the cat's done.

[Rumtytum]

Came home to find that the cat had turned the TV on and was sat quite happily on the sofa watching Celebrity Catchphrase!

That’s made me laugh out loud

I used to have a deaf cat.

I woke to the sound of blaring music downstairs. Completely freaked out.

Go down to find the cat asleep with her head lean against the radio, having rested against the on switch.

I barely got so sleep last night due to the loud snoring of my cat in the room next door, with doors closed! He’s so loud it’s like a human snore
He’s always been like it, loving a really deep sleep. Mostly in the middle of the floor of any room. He comes in, collapses dramatically, stretches and rolls, then just 30 seconds later he’s snoring!

This morning on a local FB site there was a panicked post that showed that the tracker on their 6 month old kitten was showing as going 5 miles from their village to a school and then a further couple of miles on to an army camp. The owner wasn’t allowed to go onto the camp and then the tracker died. Happily, due the powers of social media, the owner of the car was located and the kitten was found in the engine! Quite an adventure!

My cat did this years ago. I lived alone at the time and sh*t myself. It was about 3am and I thought someone had broken in (somebody did actually break into my friend's house when I was a teen and they watched TV and ate their food!).

Narrative of a pigeon hunt...

Look what the kitten did, says BlackCat. Isn't he a bad kitten? Aren't I a good and innocent BlackCat?

Aren't you going to smack his bottom? says BC. Look what he's doing to the (vile, elderly) carpet!

Well, if you're going to laugh like that I'll sit here and wash my bottom....

Mum! Mum! says little kitten (actually a hulking massive fat little weirdo kitten, but we'll gloss over that). Look at my feet!! And I don't have a pigeon anymore!

Look at them! (yes little weirdo, I'm looking, as much as I can while having hysterics)

Mum! And from this angle!

I don't know what he's complaining about, says BC. I'm much more efficient at this carcass-stripping thing anyway. Now go away or I'll growl at you again.

I would like their metabolism. I have three, they have two 400g tins of cat food a day, plus umlimited dry snacks, and still manage to eat at least one mouse a day each, the only scene of crime evidence is the odd bit of gut on the carpet. I have laugh at the ads when they guilt trip us to to buying gourmet cat food, when as long as something as fur or feather they will eat it it all feet and tail included.
We are on to wet winter bedding, all my sheets and inside my bed are covered in muddy paw prints.

M dropped a hulking great rat on my newly hoovered carpet without my husband noticing for me to come back to after spending all day cleaning and tidying for guests. I was just saying on another thread he only gets rat babies... This was not.

Ah the paw prints! The kitten likes to bring small leaves and mud upstairs and get into bed with me first thing, so that when he goes I'm left wriggling around in a gritty mess. They also have a mouse each from the freezer every day to satisfy their beastly desires and no earthly need to go bringing down wildebeest and dragging them through the catflap!

At least rats are relatively quick to clear up after... usually!!

I dread to think how long it took to clear up there is absolutely no hiding place for wayward feathers on that carpet!

I'm going to have to admit I haven't cleared it up, I made a cake instead thank God that carpet is not long for this world and there will lovely new tiles there soon - I've been waiting a decade for the new kitchen so I hope they don't smear bloody pigeons all over it (what am I saying?!!)

If it’s not pigeons I’m sure they will find something appropriate

That's a certainty

One of my cats dropped a mouse on my foot, half alive, while I was mid-way through a job interview on MS Teams.
Needless to say, I didn't get the job. I don't think my jumping up and screaming blue murder helped my chances.

Said cat is now buried at the bottom of my garden.

She died of natural causes a few years later, I might add.

Mine left up onto my desk yesterday sending my papers and laptop flying as I had the audacity to not feed him 10 mins early. I was mid dictation of a report when I shrieked wildly. I left it in, my secretary is also a cat owner and I think she will appreciate the sound effects. I have warned her though so she can turn the volume down.

The devil in me would not have let on to my secretary.

@Apizz2019 I was tempted. I once had a secretary who didn't tell me my dictaphone made me sound like a chipmunk for 3 months because she found it entertaining

We were down at our house in the South West, working remotely, OH in the bedroom at the end of the house, me in the living room. She was on a zoom meeting when a dormouse leapt up onto the desk and ran behind her laptop screen. Or laptop scream, as it became.

Just went to have a bit of toast, heard a strange noise, followed by the most god awful smell .

Elderly cat has peed in the toaster!

No toast for me, heap of air freshener, and have to buy a new toaster now

That is alternative even by cat standards !

That's certainly niche! My poor stressed Little Nobhead has taken to dragging out my clothing and peeing on that if he wants to go out and I ignore him (he's supposed to still be in one room, but we've had to expand on that to run of the house overnight, to reduce pee incidents, as we've had three or four in the past week!).
