Do you think you have the weirdest cat in the world? It turns out most people do, and they’re both right and wrong. Namely, cats’ behaviors, however strange they may seem, are pretty similar no matter where you go. Someone on Twitter asked people to share the weird things their cats do, and you can probably guess that the answers involve a lot of theft, knocking things over, turning on faucets, and staring ominously.
Take a look at some of the mischief and destruction other people’s silly cats get up to and comment with your own below!

Why are our adorable cats so fascinated with all the fixtures in the bathroom? Vets suggest that this might come from their wild instincts—still water in the great outdoors isn’t so fresh, and drinking from a bowl in a corner or up against a wall might feel like a vulnerable position. The flowing water that comes out of the sink or shower is simply more appealing for both of those reasons. There’s no wild explanation for why these weird cats like to use sinks as beds, but a sink is perfectly cat-sized and the porcelain might feel fresh and cool in hot weather.
If your pet cat is using inappropriate places as a toilet, though, there are several explanations. The first thing to try is always to take them to the vet for urine and blood analysis, because they could be acting out to show that they don't feel well.
If they have a clean bill of health, the problem could be that the litter box is not clean enough (in addition to frequent scooping, the box itself should be scrubbed out once a week,) in an inconvenient place (upstairs or downstairs, in a room that the cat finds unpleasant, or near their food,) or too small. If you have more than one cute cat, there could be a bullying situation preventing one from using the litter box, in which case the solution is to provide more boxes.
That's a nice feature. Saving you a lot of money, odor and cleaning...
My cat used to break open my garbage bags just to eat pumpkin and squash peels
Is that the dark side of the moon sign going in one side of his head and out the other?
That's actually a condition called hyperesthesia. In some cats it's just cute, but in ones like mine, he'll catch his tail and bite it enough to draw blood if he doesn't get his medication. It's due to a nerve disorder where he has tiny seizures resulting in twitching on his back and skin. To him it feels like someone is poking him, then he turns around and sees his tail and figures it's his F-ING TAIL! MUST KILL TAIL! It's sometimes called 'rippling skin syndrome' because that's what it looks like before he tries to catch his tail. Easily treatable with meds that don't have a long term negative effect. This has been my PSA for the day
My cat has passed away but he loved my hair so much that he would get excited and start to drool as he pawed at the back of my head burying himself in a nest of hair.
When I was a kid, I had a kitty who did that, too. He was the most loving cat. My mom once dated a man who shaved his head and he hated him. 😂
Weaned too young. They 'nurse' on little tufts of your hair. Socrates did this. (Why Socrates? As a tiny kitten he'd go investigate something for ten minutes, then come in, sit on your foot, and tell you about it for twenty!)
I fostered a clearly-formerly-abused cat once. It didn’t last long because he assaulted my other cats (and I have puncture scars ALL over my right hand and a long-ass scar all up my arm from his psychotic behavior). Before he was no longer “cute” to deal with, he used to climb up to the back of the couch and wrap his front/upper body around my head and chomp on my scalp. It wasn’t always pleasant but it seemed funny for a while.
Most of these are just adorable and hilariously cute! I love them!
My cat loves youtube from android phone. Whenever I run any youtube video on my phone, she is with me as fast as possible, cuddling like there is no tomorrow.
How does she know it’s YouTube? 😉
Mine to.if I turn on youtube he will be on it and he changes videos with his paw.
