    The best is probably Mia's obsession with the toilet. When she hears DH having a pee, she rushes to the bathroom & if the door is open she'll be up standing on the rim before he knows what's hit him.

    Or what's hit her hahahahahahha :rotfl:

    This is storm, my rescue cat who sadly is currently missing since last Monday :(

    I have numerous funny stories about her, she licks my knees when i'm in the bath, attacks my feet as I walk past her thinking it is really funny and stupidly chases bee's & wasps.

    The Sunday before she went missing, we were watching Chitty Chitty bang bang and all of a sudden I spotted Storm through the patio window with a massive Black bird in her mouth... I screamed and my other half ran out to the conservitory to go see if the bird was alive or dead, as soon as he opened the door she dropped the bird and it flew into the house (sign of bad luck and now my darling Strom is missing :( )
    The bird almost flew into my face as I ran out to see what was happening and I had to grab Storm as she was chasing the poor bird.
    My other half managed to grab the bird in a towel and release it outside unhurt that we could see.
    Best part about it, Storm just looked at me as if to say, I brought you dinner and you let it go???????

    I really hope I find her soon as she really is my princess, I rescued her about 5 years ago and as I don't have children, she is my baby.

    Slightly funny cat story from last night! Our two rescue cats - a mum and kitten - are still settling in and very shy, but apparently a bit of kitty-crack is enough to chill them out.

    I came into the kitchen and the kitten was playing with a catnip mouse (we'd been holding on to it for when he was a bit older but he must have sniffed it out) and having a great old time.

    As soon as she picked up on the fun he was having, his mum, who is super timid usually went striding over, knocked him out of the way with one mighty paw and took it for herself.

    It was so funny watching her get all stoned on catnip! She normally just sleeps and feed the kitten but it turned her into a kitten herself and she was leaping around, purring and very happy.

    The poor kitten just looked on in bewilderment: I imagined it was like a teenager whose Mum has borrowed a bit of weed... :D

    He is actually the spitting image of Sebastian. I really think he is a bombay or at least part. He's huge, has all of the characteristics, plays fetch, really affectionate, ahhh he's lovely :D My other cat Audrey is absolutely gorgeous too - just had to mention her, 'cus I felt bad :D

    We currently have 7 cats - my flatmate's adult boy and girl and the girl's 5 kittens. 3 of the kitties are going to their new homes soon and flatmate and I are keeping one each. So I could be here all day!

    My kitten swipes our tubes of roll-up filters and saunters round the house with one sticking out of her mouth looking like she has a fag on the go, little rebel! She also makes me laugh as she has quite long fluffy fur whereas the others are all sleek. As soon as she was born and dried out and this big shock of fluff appeared I was in love! And she's the boldest of the bunch, first into everything and will probably be the most trouble, but is also an incredibly cuddly lap-cat!

    Flatmate's kitten was the cowardly one of the litter but over the last few weeks he's become firm friends with mine and has come right out of his shell and is getting bolder by the day! I have a plasma ball lamp by my bed and he loves to jump up on the cabinet and paw at it and rub himself against it, he's fascinated with it.

    The adult boy cat is very affectionate and intuitive, he seems to just know when you need a cuddle and when you want to be left alone. If I'm not awake by about 10am, he'll meow in my ear and bat at my face until I wake up, then once I'm awake he'll clear off and do his own thing. If he's already seen me up and about earlier that day he'll leave me alone though. It's as if he just wants to make sure I'm alright.
    Public appearances now involve clothing. Sorry, it's part of my bail conditions.

    Saturnalia, Audrey does exactly the same with my roll up filter tubes! I'm always finding random chewed up filters around the flat, haha!

    OMG, they all look sooooo alike!

    Yup, mine is HUGE too - very long and slim - he dwarfs my other cat (and most others) - he really is like a wee panther!

    I've often wondered if there may be a bit of Bombay in there - he's very affectionate and VERY vocal. (I woke last night to a freight-train purr going on in my ear, and kneading on my hair):D. He's very laid back and loves other cats - but is dominant (which doesn't go down too well with my tortie who thinks she should be boss - thankfully they seem to be getting on a bit better of late).

    Oh no:(, it's awful when they do that - fingers crossed and don't give up (one of my pals cats was missing for 5 months and came back). Please keep us updated.
