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!

That's sweet. Meanwhile, do you have a neighbor with a destroyed flowerbed by now?

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.

Why have a huge shelf that is completely empty? If not for your cat to climb?

my cat is black and it blends in so perfectly with our couch that I've nearly sat on her so many times by accident

Same. I always feel awful and give them treats after so recently I’ve caught them purposefully moving under me so that I’ll think I sat on them and give them treats. Little bastards are lucky that they’re too cute to be mad at.

My cat used to sleep in the bathroom sink. I brushed my teeth and washed my face so many times in the tub because we couldn't move her. If you took her out she would just climb back in and look at you angry until you left

My kitten used to sleep on top of files in the cabinet (like, on the edges of the papers). Since then, he has grown too big to do so :)

It's cool in there. Runs hot. My cat liked to sleep on the tile floor of the bathroom.

I think they like feeling enclosed. This cat needs more boxes to hide in.

Mine likes the bathroom sink but used to play peek-a-boo with us when she was a kitten in the kitchen sink. She loves to drink running water so she still gets in the sink for that. (Maine Coons what can you do but turn on the water so they can drink and play lol.)

My Frankie likes to sleep in the bathroom sink. It's oval so she fits in there perfectly.

It shaped like a box, and 'if I fits, I sits.' I think it makes them feel secure, somehow.

Keep the toxoplasmosis away from the dishes, please. I hope you don't have pregnant friends.

read on google only if the cat goes outside and hunts animals it is dangerous for toxoplasmosis! Indoor cats do not get it unless you give raw lamb or pork!

And who would not? Cozy, shiny, near foodstuffs, with a little ray of sunshine and water with a push of the paw.

And it's a good incentive to do the dishes more often to clear the space.

Hahaha! I had a fella who once (once!) tried to sleep in the laundry tub. While I was doing a load in the washer. I never seen anything move so quick as when the spin cycle started (the hose, you know).

One of mine sleeps in the bathroom sink and when you go in there he sits up and waits for you to comb his hair and tell him he's a handsome boy.

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
