Does you naughty cat do this?

[Iowa Lizzy]

Whenever I set an item on the edge of a table or chair, my cat, Pablo, feels the need to knock it to the floor. His favorite item to do this with is a glass of water. But lately, whenever I take off my engagement ring, he's right there trying to play with it. ETA: The title of the thread was supposed to be "Does YOUR naughty cat do this?" Ugh, typos.

I was snowed-in a couple weeks ago and decided to take some impromptu shots of my ring on the arm of a chair. Needless to say, fatcat Pablo was there in no time trying to ruin the photo shoot. I got a couple good shots of his shenanigans and I thought the PSers would appreciate it. Please ignore the filthy condition of the diamond. Like I said, it was very spur of the moment.

First shot. "I'm eyein' your ring, Lady"

"That ring does not need to be there!"

 

[Iowa Lizzy]

You can see the glowing eyes of the little sneakster.

 

[Iowa Lizzy]

Naughty cat!

 

[exoticisabella]

Too cute!

 

[Iowa Lizzy]

Last one. I like how you can just barely see a flash of platinum going by as he swipes it off the chair. This went on for about 20 minutes as I tried to take pictures.

Hahaha. That''s so cute. Though I think it would get annoying to have my water glasses tipped over all the time

Did he play with your ring after he knocked it off? Or did he consider his job done?

My bunny doesn''t jump up on the couch, but he does this same thing to anything you place on the floor. DH was sitting with a glass trying to do something and the bun knocked his glass over about 5 times (luckily it was empty at that point). Animals just don''t like when we move things around without their consent!

Aw, that is so cute!!! He just can''t resist, the little stinker!!

btw, your ring is beautiful

My firstborn, Cleo, does this! Especially if it''s paper or bread (she loves bread). Her head is just even with the tabletop when she sits in a kitchen chair, and she will tip her head over - just like Pablo! - and bat at it intently with one paw until it falls onto her chair lol.

OMG that is so cute, nope my kitty doesn''t do that he does other naughthy things though

 

[radiantquest]

Mine do that too. They have never done it with a glass though. And mine do usually just stare at it with satisfaction. I just poured a bunch of catnip on the kitchen floor for them.

Have you guys seen the new ch-ch-ch-chia that grows cat grass? They are getting it for Christmas.

hahhhahaha the picture with the paw in the air! that one cracked me up! i starting laughing out loud and my dogs gave me a funny look! i told them that im laughing at a cute kitty and they were like whatever mom haha

your cat sounds ADORABLE!

 

[MichelleCarmen]

Wow, your cat is super naughty. My cats are obivious to EVERYTHING except for canned catfood and catnip. They don''t even notice the fish tanks. One drinks from my son''s betta tank, but I am certain he has NO idea there is a fish in there.

 

[Deactivated member 42515]

awwwwwww cats are so cute!!! i have never had a cat! so i dunno! awwwww

 

[lulu]

No, but my cat Sophie stole shiny objects a s a kitten. I didn''t realize it until I saw her running through the house with a quarter in her mouth. She put in under the stove. I took the broiler drawer out and found lots of stuff including a necklace that had been missing a month. Sophie is no longer with us and I still miss her.

 

[yssie]

Yup. Phones, staplers, food... if it's not at least a foot inland it's not going to stay on the table for more than ten minutes.



Your kitty is very cute eyeballing your sparkly like that

[kenny]

Diamond thief!!!!

Put that cat to work!

 

[emeraldlover1]

Yup, mine does that! Too cute! Mine doesn''t have any hair though.

 

[princessplease]

HOW CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But naughty nonetheless!

 

[LGK]

Lol @ "testing gravity". Oh yes my bad baby Rat does that too. He shattered a hand-blown goblet my brother in law had made for me about a week ago. He gave me this look of sheer devilment, and then thwacked it off the island like a hockey puck- it detonated of course. He scared the fur off himself when it broke (being a skitty little freakazoid).

I love the platinum blur pic- bet Pablo was pleased with himself!

 

[AmberGretchen]

Those are such CUTE pictures

Our kitties don''t do that, but they do all sorts of other naughty things. Especially our big boy kitty - he likes to nibble on tissues and toilet paper, and will knock over tissue boxes and pull rolls of tp off the holders.

My cats knock stuff off of tables all the time. Charlie seems to do it for the sport of it mostly. He isn''t interested in what he knocks off. DH fiddles with his ring all the time and sometimes drops it. Apparently this weekend he dropped it under our recliner and Charlie made off with it before he could fish it out. Thats exactly the reason my rings are put in the linen closet or soaking in jewelry cleaner when they aren''t on my hand.

Cute pictures!

Yes! Testing gravity would be a perfect way to describe it. Sometimes he''ll knock something to the floor and the kick it around for awhile and other times he''ll just knock it to the floor and look at me like, "put it back, see what happens."

Gah! Gold Chains! I love it! Pablo must be tuckered out from knocking things off tables all day. He''s sleeping in a cardboard box right now. What would we do without our furry feline friends?

 

[Hera]

Too naughty!

Love the sequence of pictures!

 

[that_someone_special]

That is so cute!

One of our cats, P has been doing that at night. He gets up on the dresser and knocks down water, spray conditioner, dvds, make-up .. anything that is left out. He does it for attention. He has also been scratching at the corner of the bed until we have holes in our sheets--- again--- for attention.

But it''s hard to stay mad at them.

Ahahaha, naughty little sausage! Mum's cat does that too, she's lost many a pencil to that monster. Once she left a large carving knife on the kitchen bench, and Pippin could just see the tip of the handle (he's REALLY big!) and swiped it off the bench, narrowly missing mum's foot. Needless to say she's very wary of what's on the edge of the bench or on tables when Pip's around these days!!
