Owner Decides To Document Every Time Her Cat Called Oliver Goes Somewhere He Shouldn’t (19 Pics)
Interview With Owner
Sondra M. lives with two cats -- Sunny and Oliver. Both adopted from the Humane Society, both absolutely gorgeous. There is, however, one difference between them. Oliver is a little bit more... independent. He likes to write his own rules. And one of the way ways he does this is by going places around the house where he shouldn't be.
His owner, Sondra, eventually started photographing Oliver's shenanigans. From the bread machine to the dishwasher, it looks like there isn't a corner where Oliver hasn't put his paws, and these amusing pictures purrfectly portray his curious nature.

In The Silverware Drawer
Karen Klinck 5 years ago
Usually I found out there was a cat--behind the drawer--when the drawer suddenly wouldn't close.
Sondra said Oliver is an adorable combination of wicked and cute. "[He] is wild," the owner told Bored Panda. "He will just run around the house like an uncoordinated maniac. But he is also a sweet boy who enjoys chin scratches."
The cat is constantly in places he shouldn't be, but only when Sondra is in the middle of doing something. If she's putting clothes in the dryer, he jumps in the dryer. If she's trying to put dishes away, he gets in the dishwasher. And if she's making dinner, he'll try to make his way into the pantry. You get the idea. However, if Sondra is just hanging out, he will also join her, sleeping on the sofa next to his owner.
"He is an extremely picky eater where he only likes his dry kibble and 2 kinds of wet food. He won't eat meat that I try to feed him from my dinner, but he will eat day-old popcorn off of the floor. He has attacked me trying to get chives out of the grocery bags," Sondra said.

We’re going to need more emotional support animals for all the pandemic ptsd and anxiety after this. Gonna lure one into my bag every time I go in public now.
Oliver also likes to splash the water out of the toilets, so Sondra has to keep the seat lid closed.
When guests come over, Oliver has been known to "comb" their hair with his claws and occasionally nip them in the cheek after nuzzling their faces.
Considering his wild ways, you'd think he'd be destroying the house but that's not the case. "He actually doesn't knock stuff over or break things that frequently," Sondra said. "If he does, it's normally because he tried to squeeze past something without room and it gets pushed out of the way. The exception to all of this is cups of water. Oliver constantly knocks cups of water over. My mom gave me a cat drinking fountain for Christmas one year and it took Oliver about 2 days to figure out how to take the lid off and splash the water all over the place."

Cat hair has always been a condiment for cat owners. They get everywhere!

*sighs* I've had a couple of heart attacks where I've almost shut Sora in the fridge. I have to be a ninja when you're getting food out or putting it up, always keeping a foot ready to shove the cat.

My cat is not allowed near my fridge, eventhough he tries to get in it when I open, I make sure he doesn't. One of the grossest things is to have cat hair in your food.
Dianna Siever 5 years ago
Totally closed my kitty in the fridge for half an hour because she did this. I had no idea she was in there! She didn't seem at all peeved when I opened the fridge back up though, so all's well that ends well.

Sora stopped doing this when I almost shut her in the dish washer. Now she just glares at it when I'm loading it like its responsible for the downfall of Egypt.

Sora, my Siamese, does this with my air fryer if I leave the basket out, or she climbs inside the area where the air fryer basket goes.

Please make a post of her. I’d love to see it.

Hiding In The Pans

I'm starting to think that Oliver and my Siamese Sora are spirit twins or something. She does this to any cabinet that's open. I had to put toddler locks on a couple of my cabinets she figured out how to get open.

In The Washing Machine
Tracey Hirt 5 years ago
There are air vents behind him. That's a dryer, not a washer. Still, either place is pretty risky for a cat to hang out.
Mireia Dos 5 years ago
Never leave your washing machine open with clothes in it if you have a cat. Many cats have been drowned to death this way.
Donald Holder 5 years ago
This is very dangerous. My mom killed a cat by accident in a dryer. Threw in the wet clothes without checking, turned it on and when she heard the thumping she just thought it was a lump of wet clothes, by the time she checked, the day was dead from a broken neck.

WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU WANT A CAT TO STAY OUT OF A BOX? UNBELIEVABLE AND ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS. I'M TYPING IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE MY CAT HAS FALLEN ASLEEP WITH HIS FOOT ON THE CAPS LOCK .

A cat got accidentally shipped because the owners were selling and shipping some CD’s (?) it survived.

I'll be impressed with this on when Oliver curls up into the Kitchen aid mixer bowl, and sleeps.
LlamuLuva13 5 years ago
isn't he next to the bread machine? he still wants bread, or maybe he was trying to make cookies
Bunzilla 5 years ago
Our cat goes on the counter daily. She knows she's not supposed to be up there, so she does it sneakily. There's nothing for her up there, but we keep finding her little kitty paw-prints on the surface of the electric stove. Yes, she did burn her little toe beans once. No, she did not learn her lesson.

In Several Plant Pots
J Haven 5 years ago
One of our cats sat so much he killed the plant; we left the pot in the window because he liked to sit in it to watch birds. Five years later we realized the pot was completely empty - his feet had gradually worn an entire pot of dirt out of the pot and onto the window sill and floor. I had always wondered why that area was so gritty but never thought to look in the pot!

oh, humans, they like plants but no one of them has such a fabulous green finder as I do. If it wasn't I taking care of these plants..... imagine what could have already happened to them....

I have two cats, one who isn't interested in my plants at all and one who isn't interested in any of my plants that aren't parlour palms. I've had to give up on them - the plants - as he has now eaten three of them to death.

Many, many years ago we had a cat like this. One day we were folding clothes on our bed that had just come out of the dryer, so we had several drawers open on the dresser to toss in items as we processed them. When we were done, we closed the drawers, but one was stubborn. After several shoves to try and close it, we figured that some underwear or socks had fallen behind and caused a jam. Nope. After we pulled out the drawer to see what was going on, our cat proudly emerged. She had hopped up into the drawer and squished herself in behind it while we weren’t looking. She never made a peep after all that pressure to try and close the drawer. As I come to tell this story, I’m still shaking my head after all these years.
Michelle Muirhead 5 years ago
Yep, I had that experience too with my old Ginger. I pushed and pushed and not a peep out of him until he popped out.

It is. I had ... haha ... two cabinets in a corner, leaving a 1-foot-square between/behind them free. About 2 meters high. When they were young, my cats both fell into this hole I even had forgotten is there. Punishment followed - I had to partially unload the cabinets because they were too heavy to move to free them. I put in a shelf as emergency exiting-aid, and they started hanging out there voluntary once they got how to get out again. Cool guys, miss them both (they'd be 22 by now, one lasted until 20, the other only got 13 due to complications after surgery due to granuloma).

For goodness sake, close cupbaord doors. Especially keep the washing machine door closed. That's a number one rule in our house with two small and curious cats. A lot of these could have been prevented, and some are downright dangerous. So I suspect most, if not all, are staged. No cat person is that idiotic.

Only place that's off-limits in my house is the top of the gas stove because of the pilot lights. And to be exact, I'm sure everybody burned a toe at least once.
