  • Helping Us With Our Planting

Cats do love to dig, it is in their nature. However, when we have indoor plants, they tend to think they are helping, by tipping all the dirt out onto the floor for us. They must be thinking to themselves that they are helping the plants to have more room to flourish. That said, that is why most will agree that making a choice to having either indoor plants, or cats is wise, but most time not blending them both together makes life a bit more easier.

  • Helping Us Take Out The Trash

While we all tend to let our garbage pail rise a bit much at times, our cats sure can let us know when we forget. They tend to tip it over, looking for food, as if they are starving, even though they only just been fed. However, to them the garbage pail tends to be more pleasing to eat from at times. Nevertheless, while many find this habit a bit annoying, for many cat owners they will agree, that it is one that they can easily forgive at times.

  • Climbing Our Curtains

Cats, particularly when they are kittens, are always open to new challenges. Climbing obstacles is nothing to them and while most cat owners prefer that they engage in this activity outdoors nothing is sacrosanct to them and you may well finding them climbing up your new curtains and leaving holes in them. Alternatively as this picture depicts with my son’s cat she may well bring down the curtains! How could you scold a cat with such an innocent expression on her face!

  1. An enjoyable read but you do realize that we don’t own cats. THEY own us, lol. I have always thought that they are the boss, and if we’re lucky we get to smooth them. But seriously they are lovely creatures. I’m always amazed at how high they can jump. Anyways, lots of interesting points and a great read.

    1. Thank you Owain. Yes they can certainly jump high. I remember playing with my son’s kitten, using one of those little fishing poles with a feathered ball hanging off and the cartwheels she used to do so high in the air had to be seen to be believed!

  2. Cats, as with everything else in life has its pros and cons. But we love them for their perfect flaws. Its like having a cute little child running around. They don’t know whats going on but you have to forgive them because of their cuteness.

  3. Great post. So interesting to know why cats do these seemingly strange things. They are so wildly different to us humans in the way they think, and I think that is all part of the appeal.

    Your site is looking great by the way and the cat photos are just adorable!

  4. Hey James,

    I like your post ! So very true all the things that you mention. I can relate to most, especially cat hair on my clothes, takes me 10 mins after getting dressed to remove all of it.

    Recently she has started clawing away on the one side of the bed, but only when no one is around. If we accidentally interrupt her she darts away knowing what she did is wrong. But like you said we forgive and forget because we love them.

    Thanks for the info.
    All the best

  5. I grew up in a house full of cats.. I’m pretty sure they plotted against me..
    I don’t have pets of my own now that i have children and I think they are missing out now that i see these vids/pics.. Reminds me of much of a ‘sibling rivalry’ i had with them over my mum haha

  6. Hey Jim. Thanx for the great site. My son and I love cats. We each have one. Black cat and grey cat he called them. They follow us everywhere we go, its very funny and we enjoy them to bits. Love your site. I’ll keep coming back for more..

  7. James,

    Great list of laughs and exasperated sighs regarding your cat (though I think it might be more accurate to refer to the ownership relationship as cat’s being “people owners”).

    Another amusing detail is why the Acrobatic Cat fails to hit a spot, he/she immediately assumes a most dignified pose, maybe taking a moment to lick a paw.

    It always seems like when a cat sees itself in a mirror, it thinks, “I don’t like the looks of that guy.”

    As for trash help, we can never leave anything like food in our trash can. We put it into the freezer until trash pickup day. And no matter how carefully we try to keep “the lid on” the trash, or keep it out of reach (in a closet), Buzby will figure out how to harvest anything we forget.

    Yes! All cats seem to love clean clothes — for a bed! And Buzby also loves sweaters drying on a sweater dryer, it’s like a hammock just for the kitty!

    Busby also liked us to keep a very regular schedule. No sleeping in on the weekend! Best to get up at the same time every day!

    But through all the trials and tribulations, we love Buzby and put up with all of his antics. After all, he does keep us safe! At least, according to him. AND we provide excellent nap laps, as long as we don’t want to get up!

    Thanks for the laughs and sighs!

  8. You covered a lot here Jim. The very first one you listed is actually the reason my cat spends most of his time outside. It just got too annoying with his late night antics that he was banished for those hours. I seriously used to think he was chasing a ghost or something! Great post!
