So when was the last time your cat drove you nuts or did something bad? The reason I ask is because Carl is acting absolutely CRAZY right now. He's extremely hyper, running around all over the place and is making all sorts of noises. It's pretty fun to watch but I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up knocking over one of my non-existent Chinese vases. As I type this I'm halfway expecting to hear a crash in the background. Fortunately for us my free standing antique porcelain collection is kept at a maximum of zero pieces. So what about you guys?

Ms Can Opener Tinker got in trouble this weekend. She escaped from the fenced in back yard. She was missing for three hours. When she came home, she returned to the front door, lay on her back, and was all "did you miss me? Rub my tummy. - like" She was so cute and I was so relieved, I couldn't yell.
catena funny you should ask. after getting to a good place integrating our new kitty, Lincoln, with Meg & Joe, Lincoln has been nutzoid the past day-and-a-half...going after them both. long haul ahead of us on this!
MontysMom Monty is a diabetic kitteh, currently diet controlled. We have diet dry cat food but even though it's not supposed to, it does shoot up his glucose levels. He eats strictly high protein, low carb canned food with maybe a half teaspoon of the dry as a treat at night. But boy he sure does love that dry cat food! So I get home from work a couple of weeks ago and he had somehow gotten way up on the plant shelf and knocked the dry cat food bag down. It was all over the floor! He had never done anything like that before and I was stunned. And as I feared, his blood glucose did shoot up, but fortunately it calmed back down in a few days without my having to resort back to insulin. He is usually such a good boy.
Suzy Cat Yes!!! Right about now. She gets into begging mode when I'm here in the mornings. She wants me to do sentry duty and brush her while she leisurely eats her breakfast. When she walks away to have a quick face wash or etc., I go back to SOMC. Then she's at my feet again HOWLING....like now! I'm ignoring at the moment.
Ever since she started attacking the other cat when she was a kitten. She has now learned to expect retaliation for that and gets me to stand guard now.
slaveto3 Carl just has a case of the "zoomies," also known as the "greeblings." Horus gets those on a daily basis, sometimes numerous times. Buddy gets them occasionally, and Scarlett gets them once every 3-6 months. Horus is my badcat. He is always in trouble. Buddy just drives me crazy because he's a plastic bag licker. Can't seem to break him of that habit.
Ms Can Opener Mario, maybe it's the season change. All three of mine have been hyper lately. Anybody else?
MsCatmattress Yep, mine's been a total nutbag the past few days, much more than normal. He's suddenly very active at night, knocking stuff off the nightstand & dresser, and generally being annoying. He also has a really gross habit of licking EVERYTHING, which I haven't been able to break him of; he's done that since he was a kitten. Eww!
Maggies Mom full moon?
Maggie's most annoying habit is not getting her entire rear into the litter box and leaving puddles on the floor - but I think that's because she is huge and maybe pre-diabetic. I can't really blame her - may have to buy a larger box - and put her on a diet!
LibrarianJessica Maybe it is full moon fever. My princess walked into my bedroom at about 2 am and said something in kittenese that would roughly translate to "wake up you f@#$er" if tone is to be trusted. She did the same thing, only less vulgar, yesterday morning at 5 am.
Spritzy Cow and Bahji just got done with a hearty game of feather chase and now their lying on the floor all wored out and panting. they play hard.
sparky1987 Sparky just turned 21, and a few years ago abandoned the litter box as a place to urinate. She will usually pee on the puppy training pads on the floor, but now and then goes right on the tile floor. Just yesterday as I passed through the area in bare feet I couldn't even complete the thought of "I might be in jeopardy here" when SQUISH stepped right in a puddle o' pee. I wish she'd pee in the box, but at this age I'm just happy she's healthy!
Canuck Cat The last few days my cat, Penny, has been going a bit nutty. She's been roaring around, launching herself off the furniture...a couple of nights ago I heard a noise, checked the living room and she was on the top of my bookshelf - which is approx. 7 ft. high. Don't know what's going on with her! The other two cats are OK (but who knows what they are up to when I'm not at home!)
Sillygrrl Oh man. Our younger one (Dewey) is just a total spaz. I think it's age more than anything, but he gets into EVERYTHING. I'm afraid he's going to eat something he shouldn't. He torments his older sister constantly. I have to keep them in different rooms at night and he starts crying to be let out at 4 am (I get up at 6). SO, then they start fighting. I haven't slept right in at least 2 weeks.

Chowdahs Mommah It has been an exceptionally bitey day in the household. Not that I have been attempting to pet in any vicinity of the tummy area... Daddy just needs to come home to help burn off some of the excessive naughtiness, maybe with a game of tag or fetch.
atxanne The colder weather makes my cats frisky for sure... zooming all over the duplex, especially up and down the stairs. Optimus Prime has actually perfected the up-the-stairs-through-the-cat-door-without-stopping move.
Threesenough hahhaa, I think it is the moon and change of season. PT, had the zoomies yesterday mid day! Addie always gets us up in the monring with her concert. Even Tobby though has been particularly playful after forgiviing his daddy for leaving him alone with mommy for ten days.
urbanite425 Sam often races around meowing at the top of his lungs. I call it his kitty war cry. I think he's playing a cat version of cowboys and indians. He annoys Tommy and Turtle whenever he tries to get them to play along, and his sneak attacks never work because he can't keep quiet that long. Dude's just crazy. But he makes a good guard cat.
CoyoteSD39 Three of our four cats are, at this exact moment, chasing each other around the apartment. Our eldest, Tinfoil, is watching them with a dignified "I'm above all this horseplay" look on her face. I give her two minutes before she joins the train.
Ms Can Opener I'll probably be back many times today. I just LOVE Kitty Research (Data that matters, Data you can trust).
MunchkinCat slaveto3, my Becca is a plastic bag licker too! Although she doesn't limit herself to bags, just anything plastic. And that's what got her in really big trouble. Early one morning (which is part of the reason I was so mad), I was woken up by the sound of Becca licking and chewing on something. When I got up to look, I found her munching on my film negative archival sheets (they're clear plastic sheets used to store negatives). Not only had she chewed holes in 3 of the sheets, but she also chewed through some of my negatives! She was in really big trouble after that.
Fat Cat My girls act crazy when it is raining. I think the moisture in the air permeate their brains and cause rust.
3pets Clyde was chasing Bonnie around this morning, biting her and jumping on her. She always yells and hisses for him to stop but he continues to torment her. Hubs and I have to get up and scold him for being so naughty!
3pets Cyde is also a bag chewer. Just the sound of it makes me cringe.
RubyTuesday When Ruby wants her breakfast- she will stop at nothing to get it. Her newest trick: getting up on my night table early in the morning, and rubbing her head on the lamp shade so it knocks up against the wall, She also sits there on the night table and chews on my novel that I read before I go to bed. I have even noticed little teeth marks on the corner of the night table itself. I thought I would one up her and have a water bottle there and squirt her, but she just tries to get her mouth at the stream of water that is coming out and drinking it!!
Suki_Cat This is called "Crazy Time" in our house and happens at least twice a day.
While I get ready in the morning I have to dodge butt wiggles and ankle biting/swatting.
During the evening it is like night at the races with the same antics :)
This is my husband's first experience with having a house cat. He keeps saying "She is not a kitten anymore, why does she still do this?"
Suki will be 3 this month. I try to control my laughter and say "I'm sure she will grow out of it soon." LOL
cuddlecat Suki, good luck!! My Punkin is like 18 & he gets the rips regularly, way more often than his 9 year old sister.. Some cats have it, & some don't. ELnjoy it!!
SquabbyandFreyasMom Autumn is always Insane Cat time. Squabby loves to go out in the yard and chase the falling leaves. Freya just loves to go out in the yard and watch the neighbors. Since I only let them out on supervised excursions, both of them are constantly begging to go out. Squabby sits and stares at the door, meowing; Freya howls. If I ignore them, they walk over to the speaker wires, sniff them and look at me as if saying, "outside, or the wire gets it!" They also will climb up on my drafting table (a BIG no-no) and bat things around while giving me that same look. What stinkers!
Scoots84 I'm not sure what Thomas has done lately, but the last time I went home, my mom was yelling at him for jumping into the cupboard and eating the butter!
DakotaMikeyMom What drives me nuttiest are their antics involving the wet clothes drying on the laundry rack. Mikey just tries to climb the rack and usually winds up knocking the entire thing over. Dakota steals individual pieces off of the laundry rack and then lays on them. We are in a small apartment, so there is no laundry room in which to hide the laundry!!
kim and poe Poe likes to go on top of the fridgy, which, i don't mind, as he has a little basket to lay in up there, but he will go one up and try to climb to the cabinets above.....
MsCatmattress So the data says, basically, all our kittehs are nutcases. Lovable nutcases. It's all good!
va_cat_mom Nikki's new trick is to wait until the wee hours of the morning to jump on the jewelry armoire and play with the door-knocker style drawer pulls! OMG, it is SO annoying! Thank God for the squirt bottle!
amixxima I'll let "badness" tell you himself.
From the personal journal of Mr. Happy Salamanca...
I am getting older now..I am about 8 months now...and I like to run a lot and perform acrobatic tricks like those guys that do parkour. I am getting really good. But I get yelled at every time I bounce of my humans belly...she gets really mad, don't know why, her stomach makes for a great spring board and I can jump all the way on top of her computer desk!
Any way last week I discovered this really big box in the kitchen and every time the door is opened....a light goes on so I go in the box and boy are there are lot of things to eat in there...I get in trouble though and sometimes I get locked in and the light goes out...I don't care I'm not afraid of the dark but it does get kinda chilly. Well yesterday I finally was able to jump high enough to get on top of another box in the kitchen...sometimes it gets really hot and my paws hurt also sometimes there are pots of food on top of the box...but every time I get on the box I get yelled at, I get water squirted at me and I even got a time out in the bathroom...I don't care Imma keep doing it.....my human loves me and thinks I am really cute...all I have to do is squint my eyes jump in her lap and purr and she is like putty in my paws.....
yours truly,
Mr. Salamanca
BogeysMom Bogey has been meowing all the time! Since the weather is nice, I think she wants to go out. But it never stops!!!
MoosesMom Moose runs around the house starts to Meow really loud
zorrocat My husband and I had 2 cats that went commercial fishing with us and when ever the barometer would go up or down they would just go crazy!!!
CheshireGrinz All three of our cats are pretty old so they don't get the 'crazies' too often. Schnapps does go wild occasionally and will fling around one of her toy mice around and attack the other cats if they get too close. She's our oldest too, but she's the most active. A little while back Furrball was driving us nuts because she suddenly discovered the butter dish. We kept catching her licking the outside of it! We even tried putting a cookbook in front of it and wrapping it in a paper towel and she would push the book aside and dig at the paper towel until she could get at it. We finally had to move it behind the coffee pot and toaster to get her to leave it alone!
Jackie929 The Itty has been chomping down on my ankles for no apparent reason other than she is a little meanie
GeocachingOdder So yeah, My last major WTF?!???! was when my little dude Pedro got himself in the handle of a plastic bag and caused a 5 cat stampede over my toes out of the chill and mellow living room into the hard wood floor skittering kitchen... directly over the top of my feet. Not cool man.. totally not cool. He totally gets in those gottarunnaround moods. you are not alone... lol
Crazy Furball Smokey drives me nuts at about 5:30 every morning when she decides that she will jump onto my dressing table and knock things over, or onto my desk and knock things over. But this is not the main problem! She has decided that one of my plants is the tastiest thing in the world, and she will stop at nothing to get it! She ate it on my desk, so I moved it onto the top shelf in my cupboard...she leaped of my desk and knocked it out of the cupboard, so I put it on top of the fridge...two nights ago, she jumps from the bench onto the fridge and knocks it to the floor again!! It is a miracle it is still alive!
geraldine All cats seem to have a mad half hour every day. I think you notice it if there is only one cat about. I think thats why i'm a cat lover for that reason! This time of the year there are leaves to chase and the wind too!
silverbutton My little cat Pinkys latest WTF moment was when she got all wrapped up in my knitting and started running from one side of the house to the other. Ugh, she tore out a lot of stitches.
My other cat, The Poof, on the other hand has found a way to climb onto our neighboors roof and walk around.
Catseye Blaze (male mixed tabby) gets the zoomies (love that word) this time of year, probably because it's cooler. Lately, he's gotten energetic around my bedtime.
A few times lately, he's trapped his sister, Samantha, between the bed and the wall. She'll yowl and hiss, waking me and I'll have to break them up several times before I get back to sleep. Normally, he only does this when I'm awake. Wish he'd stick to that schedule!
RCC It was last week. I walked into the kitchen and saw that *somebody* had thrown up. And it was BLOODY! I panicked - "Which one of them is horribly ill??" When I started cleaning it up, I noticed it had fur in it and said "...waaait a minute..." Sure-nuff: Found the half-eaten mouse in the bathroom. THANK YOU, FANG.
StinkyFuzzyTaters Every once in a while our three cats get hyper in the early morning hours and take great pleasure in impersonating a wild horse stampeed running over the rocky mountains that is me under the covers sound asleep.
FeysMum Fey becomes wild and crazy like that several times a week, it's amazing that animals that small can work up so much energy in no time. She was doing that just last night, you can hear her through out the entire house, it's very noisy. Sometimes she enjoys using the top of the couch as a "take-off" place like an air plane. She runs as fast as she can and just..jumps ! So much energy for an almost 8 year old.
