we're owned by a cat that brings home feathers it finds in the garden, and he's oh so proud of his catch!

And he's always prepared for an earthquake that might start:

That's a more active cat than ours.

I used to have a gunea pig and introduced it to the cat it carefully. She sniffed it, looked at me, looked at the guinea pig and casually wandered off. Treated the guinea pig as if didn't exist. Didn't even bother with neighbor's pet birds. And I think she is the only cat that does like being owned by humans, she is way over-dependent on people and has no hunting instinct whatsoever.

Sweet cat but boring as hell.

This is the type of cat I need! I have pet birds and 2 guinea pigs.. i'd love a cat who wasn't about to pounce on my poor little budgies... Shocked

Went away from Saturday evening to Tuesday evening.

3 plates of biscuits, 3 of wet food, some with 2 packs on, and a double bowl of wet food also.

Came back Tuesday... ALL had been nommed.

That's an 5 year old, and a kitten, the 5 year old really only eating dry food.

Shocked

Cats (and dogs for that matter) are natural born killers. Even though seemingly domesticated, they are confused and desperately trying to suppress their atavistic urges to slit your throats, and eat you up while you sleep. It's no wonder they have to come up with these zany diversion tactics to stop themselves going completely insane. And you let them into your homes? Shocked

You're all lucky to be alive. Laughing

I had one twenty years ago who was devoted to me, but preferred animals to all other human beings. He used to sit on the pavement and talk to dogs being taken for walks.
You'd expect a cat finding a hedgehog eating his food in the garden to stop and give the matter some thought. Not him. He just joined in as if he did it every day.
EDIT I don't feed my cats outdoors. The food was put down specially for the hedgehog.

This idiot has been on Eater before.

Last night I found him on the worktop in the kitchen. He'd ripped open a bag with 4 scones in it, by the time I found him there were only 3. I'm sure cats in the wild don't eat scones. When Hayley brings bags of shopping home, he ignores fish and meat, and goes straight for the bread rolls. Rolling Eyes

I thought I had the only bread-obsessed cat!

She's old and has slowed down now, but when she was younger, I couldn't put grocery bags on the floor for even a minute if they contained any kind of bread item (bread, rolls, even bagels)--she would be in the bag and biting through the wrapping the moment I turned my back!

Both my cats LOVE tiger bread! Very Happy

One of my cats doesn't love the groceries. He loves the plastic bags that they come in Confused

Strangely (and luckily) he doesn't eat the plastic. He just likes to chew on it Confused

@ MarcusA, my cat plays fetch too. He'll find a toy and drop it at your feet and stare till you throw it. He also insists on sleeping in your lap but bites you hand when you try to stroke him Confused

And he has an unusual love of blue cheese

I described Chuda, the Russian killer cat, somewhere else here - My current cat is Koshka, the little hooligancat, she happens to be the most expensive cat in my local area - 500 DKK (~90 USD) for the cat and 20500 DKK (~3760 USD) for a new water bed Shocked

The story is that a mouse managed to hide in the bed and she tried to dig her way down to it - Through the mattress Exclamation

Well, the bed was somewhat outdated anyway, but I would have liked to choose the time myself Confused
