Henry is obsessed with balls. Big balls, little balls, if it’s
a ball, it’s not safe.
One day, I was walking around our old neighborhood and came
across some kids playing with a basketball. Henry, who is a
short, stocky, 20-lb schnoodle, got away from me, ran up to the
kids, and stole that ball, which was almost as big as his body.
He then proceeded to use his feet and head to keep it “in play”
while the kids ran around with him for a good 5 minutes before I
picked him up to end the “game.”

DH and I once went to visit an old friend of ours for an
overnight stay. He warned us that if we didn't close the door
his cat, which was used to prowling through the spare room in
the early morning, would come and sit on our heads; but if we
did close it, he would try to get in by leaping up and grabbing
the porcelain doorknob in his paws and trying to turn it before
falling to the ground. He would keep trying till he eventually
succeeded.
And so it proved. A rather weird experience, trying to sleep and
ignore the sound of a soft scamper; the door rattling in its
catch; a soft thump on to the floor outside - repeated, doggedly
and without any vocalisation, over and over again. We lost
count, but it was well over 20 attempts before the door finally
swung open with a triumphant cat attached. A really determined
moggy.

My last cat, Tigger, who was a very hungry animal, wasn't
allowed upstairs at night but eventually learned that if he
jammed his paw down the side of the stairway door, he could get
it open. So at 6am we would be woken up by a hungry cat sticking
his head in our faces.
We solved that by putting a bolt on the stairway door. Not
attractive, but effective.

For those of you who don't know, I lost my old squishy Moo at
the beginning of the year (he was just old and had been ill for
some time). I had no intention of getting another cat, but y'all
know how Cat Central is, so when a kitten who was born on the
same day as him and looked a whole lot like him got dumped near
a friend of mine, guess who she called?
It's kinda of freaky really. It's like I got a little kitten
reincarnation. He does all the weird things Moo did. He loves
bananas and salad. Last night he stole a mini bell pepper off my
dang plate and I had to chase him down for it. He steals socks
and EVERYTHING out of the bathroom garbage. His favorite place
to lay is on my backpack or me. He's the cutest and most rotten
kitten ever and I love him.

Our late beagle Eagle once pulled a gray cardigan sweater of
BeagleDaddy's onto to floor and began "nosing" it to try and
turn it into a bed. Well, he got his head stuck in one of the
sleeves and began thrashing and barking trying to figure out how
the heck to get out of it. He looked like a miniature elephant.
Too hysterically funny.
We had a small, white cat we named Bitsy (she was quite petite).
When BeagleBoy was a baby she would still his little socks out
of the drawer, carry them around then house, then put them on
the floor to meow at them for five minutes straight. After
that, she'd walk away.
We referred to them as her "sock babies".

We had a cat, Tuffy, who just loooooved yogurt. My Mom finally
learned to take off the lid, put a spoonful on it and put it
down on the floor for Tuffy or he'd be in her lap, trying to eat
out of the container while she was eating.
She always put the container down for him to lick out, once she
was done. Well, one day, Tuffy got a little over zealous and
stuck his head right to the bottom to lick it clean and got the
container stuck on his head. Took a while to rescue him because
we were laughing so hard.

Please tell me that you took a photo* that you can post here!
Although, your word description gave me quite a picture in my
mind.
Thanks for the laugh!
*On the other hand, I see many photos where I think "Why are you
taking a picture and not helping the poor thing out?"

We have four indoor cats. The only female, Marigold, nips at
our calves while we're reaching in the cabinet for her food. I
can't feel it when I have on jeans; but shorts are another
story.
Two of the males are friendly with each other and even sleep
next to each other on occasion. The older one (14) likes a
little cat bed that's in the dining room. Sometimes he will be
in there and the other one will stand over him while the older
one growls. They also do the standing over, and growling, bit
at other locations around the house too. So now when we hear
the growling and have to go and stand between them until one of
them walks off we just say "there go the toddlers again".

I had a calico cat that did the same thing with sock, except she
preferred dirty ones.
I had a cat that absolutely loved raw eggs. She would come
running into the kitchen if she heard me pull the carton out of
the fridge. None of the other animals liked them, she would
enjoy her egg while everyone looked at her with disgust.

I have the perfect story for this thread! This was about two
years ago. I was sitting on my couch, laying, laptop on my lap.
Ciaran was on the back of the couch, curled up, sleeping, as he
often did back then. Out of the corner of my eye I see a shift.
I turn... only to see a cat head and two little paws clinging to
the back of the couch for dear life!
Ciaran just looked at me like "I didn't mean to do this! This is
a mistake!" right before his little head disappeared.
I am a terrible pet parent. I was too busy laughing to assist
him.
