[Zuni]

2. HOW WEIRD IS IT?

[LearnedHand]

3. Expensive dates...

...and cats, too? This is looking more interesting all the time!

6. well

for starters, she quacks instead of meows and often runs around in circles.
She also takes socks out of the closet (or other small things) and puts them in my bed while I am sleeping. She also likes to climb into cupboards and drawers, and hide. More than once I have closed cupboards not knowing she is in there only to hear her quacking and scratching later trying to get out.
She is an odd one.

12. I have an explanation for the socks thing

I had a cat, an abysinnian, who had kittens. She used to cart them here and there and to and fro, making sure they were safe. We gave them all away after a time, and once they were gone my socks started showing up in all sorts of weird, nestled places.

It was the cat, thinking the socks were her kittens. Yeah, it made me feel bad. Your cat is bringing her kittens to your bed to keep them warm.

13. She

never had kittens but she might be going through the motions of what she would do if she did.

Thank you for the explanation. I thought it was weird but I really like when she does it.

14. Maternal instinct

still runs strong.

15. Will, I think you are correct!

My cat does the same thing, usually in the middle of the night, and she yowls with the damn things in her mouth until one of us wakes up and feeds the sock some milk. j/k She never had a litter.

[Zuni]

17. does the sock

actually drink the milk?
My cat makes quite a racket with the socks as well, like it is somesort of tickertape parade.

19. j/k abt the milk

it drives my wife crazy, I get a kick out of it

[WilliamPitt]

20. Before I figured out the kitten/sock correlation

I thought she was trying to send some sort of signal. The socks'd be spread out all over the floor like Stonehenge.

21. ROTFLMFAO!!!!

Did you check the litter box for crop circles?

[WilliamPitt]

22. I tried not to.

:)

[Zuni]

23. you should say

crap circles.
I'm sorry :)

16. I she part (or full) Siamese?

My older Siamese male plays with socks, also. And when I'm trying to pack a suitcase for travel, he climbs IN the suitcase and THROWS my socks and underwear OUT! His name, Dante, really fits him!

[Zuni]

18. I don't think so

I think she has some tabby in her though. Otherwise she is a nondescript gray housecat,
Cats really love socks and bags. A paper bag is hours of fun for a cat.

4. So what did your cat do ?

:shrug:

[phishhead]

5. What is your weird cats name? n/t

[Zuni]

7. I named her Squealer

after the pig in Animal Farm (one of my all time favorites) that put out propaganda

[phishhead]

8. Niceeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Orwell is one of my favorite authors. :)

9. Does your cat "lowrun" to get away from you

Our female cat when we put her up to get away from us she will squat down and run as fast as those short legs can kick. She can move to it is funny:)

[Zuni]

10. actually she follows me around

she rarely ever tries to avoid me. Most of the time she is my shadow, always trying to figure out what I am doing.
She, despite her weirdness, is a VERY affectionate cat and I like her very much.

But she does get the 'evening crazies' where she runs in bursts and jumps all over furniture.

11. Zuni, could you please return my cat! lol n/t
