Cats be crazy

So I give my cat a bowl of perfectly good water, and she goes and drinks out of the toilet or one of the saucers underneath a flower pot
I buy her perfectly good food, and she kills birds and eats them (Feathers and all!)
I check the food choices as the store again. They have chicken flavor, salmon flavor, and even beef flavor, but none that taste like birds
Then, more than once, I have caught her catching lizards and eating them, so I'm like, "What is it with you. That can't possibly taste better than the food I get you"
Then she goes out and rolls in the dirt, and comes in and licks herself clean. By this point, I'm thinking she's retarded.
Night comes, and I make her a comfy bed, but instead, she comes in and sleeps with me. This wouldn't be so bad, but at 3 AM in the morning, she pokes her nose in my face to let me know she's done sleeping and wants my attention. Now if it were a woman, that's one thing, but I think she feels like I need to be on her schedule or something.
When I call her, she just gives me a look like "I will come when I'm damn good and ready".
Then in the morning she goes out and chews on grass like it's some sort of breakfast salad.
She's nuts!
Now I don't know if other cats are like this, but if so, they should come with a warning label that regular use of this product may require extensive therapy!
 

There are explanations for many of our cats' behaviors. I couldn't figure out why my cat's toy was in the family room and would end up on the kitchen rug every morning. Then I found out that cats bring "gifts" like mice to their owners. My cat is an indoor cat, so that is his gift. He also loudly announces that he is putting it down so I will notice it is for me.

They are complicated creatures, but I don't know what I'd do without mine. And BTW, they do drink from their fountain, never from the toilet.

They look perfectly contented.
 
I know why pets love toilet water- it's usually cold. Who loves a luke warm bowl of water.
But bobcat48, you described my cat. Except, you forgot about walking by the expensive scratching post to rip the back out of the Lazy boy. And waiting to cough up that fur ball at night, so your bare feet step on it. You put fresh kitty litter in the box, and before you can walk way, the cat is using it. Cats think drapes are some kind of cat elevator- ripe for climbing.
 
My wife's cat is really my cat. When she wants attention, she knows that I am always available for some ear scratches and head rubs and neck strokes. My wife takes care of feeding her and maintaining the litter box, but nonetheless, she hangs around me more, much more. She even sleeps on me. Maybe it's because I give out the treats. I give her a treat as soon as I get up and before I say good night. I wonder?

Yess, that's what I'm talking about.... total whack jobs.
 
Ya know.."toilet water and lizards" sounds like it could be the name of a song...or a band. :LOL: Don't have to worry about our crazy kitten drinking out of the toilet because we never leave the lid up. She is also strictly an indoor cat. Your cat is evidently very much all predator ! And she obviously prefers fresh food over that canned stuff. 🐦🦎

And of course you're on her schedule...what'd ya think? 😹 We are at their beck and call, not the other way around. 🤗 I enjoyed reading about your crazy cat Bob.

I love the name of the band. No doubt they would have to answer over and over how they came up with that name. You know, we could start a band using the name of this thread "Cats Be Crazy". We could play all night and sleep during the day (Ha ha). Then we'll have to think up a name for the backup singers.

She's not nuts. She's a cat and if she wants to sleep with she's telling you she loves you more than anything. (Almost, this is a cat. ) I would let her sleep with me as that's the highest compliment a cat can pay you. :giggle:
