Really clumsy cat

CheeseCat

Thankyou for the laugh guys, My OH thought I was nuts sat here in hysterics (poor cat with the crisp packet on his head!)

He said you make our clumsy boy cat sound smart Don't you just love that with cats as pets you ALWAYS have a story to tell?

The wardrobe story reminded me of our cats - they love jumping on top of the wardrobe to sleep from a bedside table - shame they're not so accurate on the way back down - i've lost count of the amount of 4am wake up calls i've had thinking I am being attacked before I come to and realise its a dive bombing cat (alot heavier than you'd imagine!)

Oh and at 4am last night (why oh why is 4am their prime time?) I had to rescue our littlest cat out of the duvet as she'd climbed in as far as she could go inside the cover and was making pitiful peeping noises because she couldn't get out - it took a sleepy me ages to finally dig her out and did I get any gratitude? Yeah right

Update: Clumsy cat hasn't done anything clumsy yet today

I too own a clumsy cat, actually had all sorts of tests done on mine as i was sure she must have a ear infection/eye problem/something wrong in her brain as she is just so stupid! But all came back clear.

She regulary walks along the inside window ledge(bay window) looking outside and forgets the window ledge comes to an end and just walks straight off, she fell in the toilet last week, has been in the kitchen bin numerous times etc, she even manages to fall off my lap when shes sitting on it and then glares at me as if i pushed her.

Shes also fallen asleep on a shelf, forgotton where she is and rolled over straight onto the floor (and once into my arms as i just happened to walk past at the right second) and she falls behind the sofa at least once a week whilst walking along the back of it, and she has been known to also walk into walls/fences on several occasions.

She is also a poker/pusher and everything is pushed off shelves as she walks past.

Its really nice to know shes not the only clumsy cat! :rotfl:

I homestly can't see now for crying with laughter. My best mate hates me because I've just paused the telly for ten minuets to read this thread to her (she was laughing along, but only when she could understand what I was saying).

My cats do all of these, Nev (b&w, 10kg male) more than Splodge (tortie 7 kg female). Don't know whether it's a boy thing or a black and white thing.

And why do I contort myself into knots at night so I don't disturb them? Just move them and they'll get comfy agaiN!

Enjoying this thread, but getting back to the original post and a practical idea - in stationers, or maybe even Wilkinsons you can get these small discs which are sticky on one side and like velcro on the other. You stick one (or more) to the shelf and one to the ornament or whatever and then velcro them together. Can't think what they are called though, but they sound ideal! And if you can afford it and have the space a "cat tree" might help to channel his energy more appropriately - see examples on http://www.zooplus.co.uk/shop/cats/scratching_posts but you can often get a second hand one off Ebay. Good luck!

Hi thanks ill try the velcro things, sounds like a good idea. As for the cat tree, sadly I already have one its about 5ft2 with multiple levels and had 3 different scratching posts. He sometimes uses it to dive onto my other (non thick) cat but other than that he'd rather use the doormat to scratch I think he's just a general few branches short of a (cat)tree
