i also had a neutered tom who loved to 'play' with the birds.
the cat was in his element one day as the neighbur three doors down decided to put a bird table up, but right next to the fence, to then try and 'stop' the cat from playing with the birds and get caught in the crossfire between birds and cat.

Today our cat managed to get into one of our stud walls using the hole cut for the television wires, she refused to come out so I made the hole bigger. I then realised she had moved to the next section and got stuck, so I had to make another hole, as I did she squirted poo everywhere but shes out now, little git.

My Bengal cat doesn't like the other cat eating even if she is full. She uses her paw to pull the food bowl away from her. She also loves kitchen roll. If she sees one she will carry it off and rip it to pieces, same with toilet rolls.. She loves cardboard boxes and bites all the way along the edge leaving a row of tooth marks. If the other cat is sitting on the windowsill chattering at birds Miss Bengal will jump up and chatter with her even if she has not spotted the bird. My husband put a harness on her to take her for a walk and he was pleased that she was motionless while he put it on. Then suddenly she jumped vertically about 3 feet into the air. He hasn't managed to take her for a walk yet needless to say.

When I have the internet shopping delivered I have to put the milk away very quickly because she attacks milk cartons. There have been dozens of occasions where she has holed a carton and I find both cats lapping up the milk on the floor. Last week I left a pack of toilet rolls in the porch whilst I unpacked the shopping and when I returned for it the pack had been torn apart and the toilet rolls were in bits all over the porch. She likes to get into laundry baskets while I am taking dirty washing out of them so that she can attack me. However, if she forgets herself and accidentally bites me she will lick me in apology. Whilst jumping for a toy recently she scratched my husband across the nose and it bled copiously. She likes jacket potatoes, baked beans, bolognese, pizza, muesli, biscuits, raisins, mashed potato, chilli sauce and especially - popcorn. These are not things I have given her but things she has filched off plates. If she doesn't like something, i.e. grapefruit, she will lick it in apology.

My other cat loves sitting at the windowsill and if anyone rings the doorbell she will run to the windowsill to see who it is. Last New Year at midnight a volley of fireworks went off and she ran to the windowsill and sat and watched the fireworks till they were finished. She is very lazy and I have to encourage her to go outside. She will sit and chatter at the birds but makes no attempt to chase them. Yet she brings me presents which she drops at my feet - toy mice and birds. We have a bird fishing rod toy and its her entertainment to lie on the carpet and watch Miss Bengal chasing it and doing massive somersaults. If she comes into the bedroom in the morning she likes to lick my face to wake me up but I don't like it. She loves ham and when I dropped a slice on the floor recently I fed it to the cats. She was so keen for some more that she jumped into the fridge. She likes licking the sticky on envelopes and parcels.

Sorry that was more than one moment.

One of my torties moves like lightning; I'll open the fridge, take the milk to the kettle and she'll already be in the fridge. She likes to sleep in the dishwasher, washing machine and tumbledrier, so we have to keep those closed. She hates walking on the floor so will navigate round a room via tops of doors, shelves and mantelpiece. If she gets into the bedroom, she sleeps on top of the wardrobe and dismounts by launching herself onto my stomach at some godawful hour. Not a pleasant way to wake up. She's a 'special needs' cat and frequently tries to suckle from me in bed. If I'm home, she has to be on my shoulder, so I've learned all the things I can do like Quasimodo - going to the loo, cooking, drying after a shower. I'm off travelling soon for work and she'll give my hubby a helluva time while I'm gone. The others won't miss me at all, but she'll drive him crazy.

One of mine keeps presenting me with the sponge from the sink. If we don't turn the washing up bowl upside down and hide it, she'll chew it up and bring it to us. (crying with delight the whole time). She does exactly the same thing with my ear plugs.

The other one is a climber, top of doors, the banister and sat on the cross brace of the window, after you've opened it.

My inlaws had a dog that got into a horse enclosure, and they found her sparko after a horse knocked it out.

Wouldn't change them for the world though.

Having had plenty of cats and dogs down the years there are quite a few amusing moments, but the one that reduced me to breathlessness due to laughing was a tropical fish in a tank - it was just the sheer incongruity of it doing something I didn't think possible ... it fell off a rock.

It was one of those catfish type bottom dwellers and in a fit of unaccustomed activity managed to get 4 inches off the bottom and onto an ornamental rock. Whereupon it than proceeded to roll down the side, bouncing off the various protrusions until the bottom was regained.

Idiot Cat didn't approve of my refusing to share my dinner last night. So he decided to beat up Floofy Cat. He was chased off. It's not that he's afraid of her reaction, but he instinctively ducks whenever she looks at him. Doesn't stop him doing it, though.

Idiot Cat then spotted a cat sitting on our shed roof. He launched across the stack of washing up to get onto the windowsill, kicking several very large jars of beans and pulses off the windowsill in the process. He was retrieved by the Housemate.

About an hour later, myself & housemate were sitting down chatting and Idiot Cat launched himself onto my lap, I jump, send stuff flying, including the leftover food. He embeds his talons into my leg so he didn't get displaced. As soon as he spots the leftovers on the floor, he leaps a full three foot high off my lap, lands on the housemate, slides between her legs, grabs his prize and trots off happily with the largest cold chip between his teeth as we try to come to terms with the disaster scene he has left us with.


3.45am. All is quiet in the house.

3.46am. I presume the trespassing cat is back - the rest of the jars of pulses are scattered across the kitchen floor with a heart-stopping crash. I ask the OH to come down with me on the offchance it's a mad axe murderer; he gallantly offers to accompany me on the understanding that, should it turn out to be a sane axe murderer, I'm on my own.

Idiot Cat is feigning sleep in the linen basket.

The following morning, we realise he's also had a very large speaker off its shelf overnight, but we didn't hear a thing.

He likes his new laser pointer toy. Pity he ignores the dot moving around on the floor/wall, but prefers to attack the thing in my hand that makes the red dot.

He's currently pretending he hasn't just been rescued from falling down the back of the sofa due to overestimating the distance he had to leap to get there in an attempt to acquire the laser pointer.
