Bad Kitten!!! Anyone have a very mischievous cat? Ours has gone too far!

[Tigger&Belle]

The kitten in my signature sure looks adorable, but she's has been into so much trouble, more than any other kitten we've ever had. Her brother, Apollo, is trouble, too, but most of his trouble has to do with food (climbing me like I'm a tree when I'm getting his food ready, getting loaves of bread and other food from the counter for the dog to then eat, etc).

Venus really gets into trouble and got into her most expensive trouble this morning. My DD is home from college and had her laptop on her desk and went to take a shower. Aly came back and Venus had removed about 8-10 of her laptop keys. Not just removed them, but bent them so they can't be snapped back on. My DD's at the Comp USA having it looked at now....$150 later and she will have a new keypad (the extened warranty doesn't cover cat damage... ). UGH! My laptop sits out all the time and the cat has NEVER bothered it.

Any of you with evil kitties?

We've always had cats and I've never come across one who is in to so much trouble. My DH says that she had better be healthy for the rest of her life. She's not even a year old yet, so she has a long life to drive us crazy.

Cat stew is sounding better and better...

In fact, my cat's name is Trouble. Trouble the Cat.

She loves to find all sorts of mischief. She doesn't realize that it isn't good karma to bite the hand that feeds you. She loves to beg for attention, only to decide to attack...after having her fill of being pet.

She literally bounces off the walls - which is kind of cool looking, but at 2 am?

I can't prove it, but I am pretty sure she is the one who ate the laptop power cord two days before I was flying to WDW. It cost me $100 to replace it and I had to have it express shipped to BWV. Now, it could have been one of the bunnies, but I have my doubts on that one...the buns typically go for the phone cord (while I am on the phone of course )

My favorite story though...the day she decided she wanted to play with my wallet. Good thing I saw this happen, because she picked up my wallet and went under the couch to play Who knows how much trouble that would have been!

The one good thing though...she learned early on that bopping the bunnies is unacceptable! I am not sure what I would have done if she kept up that habit!

T&B - oh no! Venus decided to play with the key board! that couldn't not be good.

 

[FergieTCat]

Fergie thinks her name is "Bad Cat!! Bad!!!"

Her latest "thing" is to wait until I'm talking on the phone and then sit on my dining room table and knock things off of it with her paw. The other day I caught her looking at me while she was doing it, just to make sure I was paying attention.

I have 4 very, very bad kitties (and 2 very nice adult cats)... They finally gave up on the curtain climbing acrobatics, so I guess I should be giving out treats...well, I would if they didn't find their way on top of the fridge to knock down and rip apart the treat bag and eat all of them (even the dog treats).

It's a good thing I really love my kitties.

Cat stew is sounding better and better...

Remember, you're a vegetarian.

Maybe your daughter was typing after/while eating something that the cat likes and she was trying to get the taste from the keys.

 

[RadioFanatic]

yes, McKinley is my bad cat. she does thing she knows drives me up a wall, like scratching the furniture, waking me up to be fed - but the funniest part is that she does it while staring at me with this "f you" face on. I have to admit, it makes me laugh!

Oh oh, I talked about her behind her back. I'll have to show her this thread when I get home. She may feel the need to defend herself!

 

[Binkrin]

My cat's are usually pretty good, except when they have to stay in because of the weather. This weekend Suzy jumped on the towel warmer and broke one of the legs.

The one that really got me was that Cleo locked me out yesterday! I was so worried about letting her out and she was acting like she was going to sneak out the doorand I forgot my keys! I had to call FH to come help me and he missed a meeting. I felt bad and i would have waited but it was cold!!

 

[BeNJeNWaFFLe]

The oldest sits on the table. You yell at her and she just gives you a dirty look! Also she just walks around the house meowing. She has a loud meow. It can get very annoying because she doesn't know what she is meowing for. This is why we think she is senial.

My youngest cat is a food nazi! He will eat an entire can of cat food and then try to steal the other cats food. We have to stand guard over them eating otherwise the other cats don't eat and he eats 2 cans of food himself! You yell his name and he gives you the "What? I'm innocent!" face. Smart move cat, but I know better.

The cat we had when I was a kid wasn't bad per say, just expensive. She literally used all of her 9 lives. I can't remember most of her run ins but I can remember the two biggest. We came home one day and she was meowing weird and kinda limping. Well, some kid shot her in the side with a BB gun. She had a whole in her side so we rushed her to the vet. She was fine but we had to keep the wound clean and put towels on all the furniture. Another time she came inside and her eye was oozing and just not right. She got into a fight with something and it scratched her eye. She was able to keep the eye, but it was blind.

Oh, her and the dog were best friends. She would knock the kitchen garbage over and let the dog feast. She would also run along the barb wired fence in the backyard chasing a squirrel while the dog rat at it from the other direction. Yeah they worked well as a team. Probably because she thought she was a dog.

Here, I'll make you feel better...

My cat Zoe is evil. When she's angry with me, she lets me know by peeing on something. Sometimes it's the kitchen table, sometimes the counter. Once it was the stove, right over the pilot light (it simmered for a while, making cat pee gooze). Most commonly though, it's over the dishes in the drainer sitting in the sink.
Needless to say, we've had to adapt.
Luckily, she doesn't get angry that often.

My old cat, Sydney, was the most destructive cat I've ever known. He was a siamese mix, and while he could be really sweet and loving and loyal, he was also deliberately mean when he wanted to be.

I used to bring him home to my mom's for holidays, but he finally got banned from the house after:

--Carrying around and finally breaking a shepherd from the nativity set at Christmas

-- Knocking over a decorative bookshelf full of seashulls, which also held a pickled shark in a jar (my brother's souvenir from somewhere) that shattered on impact, drenching the carpet in the formaldehyde.

-- Knocking over her $100 coffee maker and shattering the pot

-- Chewing the knob off my brother's Nintendo controller

Um, you get the idea. Poor Syd-- I miss him dearly but BOY was he the brattiest thing ever!!

 

[luvmydogs]

T&A, I've always wanted to tell you how pretty the cat in your signature was.

We had a cat, (now dearly departed) Pumpkin, to whom we referred as El Gato Diablo. She was the most evil, nasty little cat I've ever seen. She was the tiniest thing--like six pounds, but I was completely and utterly terrified of her. It's horrible walking around your home, looking around every corner and under every piece of furniture to see if an attack was imminent. That cat could be just walking by me, and I'd say, "Hiiiiiiii, Pumpkiiiiiiiin..." and I'd get hissed at. She was something else.

Wow my girls are tame compared to others!



I poured myself a cup of bottled water and placed it on my nightable. I left the room for under a minute and came back to see Sasha drinking out of my cup! I was like, "Uh....that's not for YOU!", LOL

 

[jennyf917]

I too have an evil cat. His name is Captain Feathersword, but we mostly call him Kitty.

He likes to jump on counters, tables, etc and knock things off. He likes to run up to my son and attack him. Poor kid. He's also not that bright, so when he eats the food out of the center of the food dish he will walk through the house meowing loudly and will run up to me and attack me because he thinks he's going to starve to death. Oh, and while we pet him at some point he decides that he'll just bite us. No warning, he just bites (hard). We have to shut him in the laundry room (where his food and litter are) while we eat because he will steal our food.

My cats all think that a glass of anything is 'theirs' to share with me. I cannot leave a glass anywhere safely.

My cats aren't naughty now, but were when they were kittens. They were so hungry when we brought them home from the Humane Society, they would steal food off our plates. We have a picture of Delilah sitting on Keith's head, waiting to get a clear path to his plate.

Now Delilah is so affectionate, she drives you insane. I think she would secretly like to knock me off so she can have DH all to herself.

Sammy is just plain stupid, and is by far the most uncoordinated cat I have ever seen. He absolutely freaks out when he can see the bottom of his food dish, even if it is full to the top on the sides. He makes us roar with laughter when he falls off the back of the couch or the side of the bed. He has to scratch and claw at the wall to make it up into the kitchen windowsill. But you know what? I couldn't have asked for a better cat for the kids. He is so tolerant - he hangs there like a limp noodle when Hannah picks him up, and has bever scratched her, no matter what she is doing to him.

Yeah, I have two of those. The oldes of which is Buff Daddy (buff for short), named after the pro wrestler Buff Bagwell. He can just be pure mean. We used to have this dining room table, it was a statue of 4 dolphins with a glass top on it. He used to love to sit up there and wait for the dogs (labs) to come by, then he would jump on their butts sinking his claws and teeth into them. He would also knock things off the counter so that the dogs would get them just to watch us yell at the dogs. He still has a tendency to bite us for no reason when he is tired of being petted.

Now the other is Trouble McFurry. She got part of her name because we found her as a kitten (6weeks old) at a McDonalds. She was the sweetest thing at first. Now she just drives me batty. She is constantly meowing for absolutely no reason. She drinks and eats with her paws, so after she dips her paw in the water she licks it a couple of times then shakes the excess all over the kitchen. She loves to be underfoot, lays on your feet while your tying your shoes, etc... However when she is foul she is FOUL. She got mad at my DH one day and peed on his leather jacket while his keys (including key fab) were right on top of them. Eventually his key fab quit working, and we never could fully get rid of the smell. I got the jacket cleaned and got rid of the smell thankfully. Now whenever the kitty litter isn't perfectly cleaned she will pee on my leather couch. To say the least we always make sure that the kitty litter is exceptionally clean!!

 

[jbdreamer]

Maxwell we call Trouble quite often.
He's broken vases
eats my flowers
shreaded the shower curtain
shreaded the toilet paper
chewed off door stoppers
broken into his food (stored in a cupbord)
knocks over his water dish
eaten an earring
and steals potatos out of the sack. I find them hidding under the furniture every once in a while.

He is also kind of a bully to Lelu - my perfect princess.

 

[Tigger&Belle]

T&A, I've always wanted to tell you how pretty the cat in your signature was.

We had a cat, (now dearly departed) Pumpkin, to whom we referred as El Gato Diablo.

We do call Apollo Diablo, mainly because of the way he climbs up us when preparing his food and the way he gets things from the counter. But we thought his sister was calming down. HA!

Our other cats were never this bad. I don't recall Belle ever getting into trouble and Tigger was more of the type that did things that was dangerous to himself. Twice he's made the leap (or fall) from our 2nd story down through the railing to the wood foyer. When he was a little kitten and did it the first time I could see him scamper off and knew he was alive, but my DD couldn't see if he was ok and thought for sure that he was dead. We then put plexiglass up to keep him from falling again, but he jumped/fell another time from one step down when he got scared thinking that everyone was in bed one night and my DH came quickly up the stairs from his basement office (the cat is a chicken and spooks easily). Another time Tigger got one of the bags with handles around his neck and would have killed himself if we hadn't been home (we now cut those handles or don't bring the bags into the house). So that's three of his lives.

We used to have a cat that climbed drapery when he was a kitten. When we went to sell the drapes thankfully the people didn't close the drapes to see all the little pinholes. Don't worry--we were selling them dirt cheap--bought them used--selling them for next to nothing. We tought that he was into a lot, but he was nothing compared to Apollo and Venus.

These cats also try to steal our food when we're eating even though they are improving. We keep a spray bottle nearby. We can't keep cups and glasses on the edge of a counter or they will be on the floor. One day one of them almost got their head stuck in a glass.

We have to feed the kittens first (and lock them in the bathroom), then the cats, and then the dogs. Otherwise the kittens will push the dogs and cats out of the way and eat their food. I don't know how the little kittens can be alpha over the big, tough dog, but it's pretty funny to see.

 

[luvmydogs]

...Now the other is Trouble McFurry.

"Trouble McFurry." This is the greatest name for a cat I've ever heard!

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Bad peeing would drive me crazy. I've had old kitty peeing before and dealt with that.

Yes, Trouble McFurry--good name!

I sure tried to change Venus and Apollo's names to something more appropriate for the grief that they give us, but my DH insisted on keeping the names that they came to us with. He won that battle, but I won the war of getting them to begin with. Or should I now say that I lost the war of getting them...
