Which I suppose means she's perfect for me. It's not like I'm a hotbed of sanity most days. But not only does this cat hide its food under the rug, she also uses the water dish to bathe herself in. I've watched her stick her paws in the bowl and rub them all over her face. It's very cute, but strange. I thought cats didn't like getting wet?
Not this cat. In fact, this morning she scared the shit out of me. I was taking a shower and I guess I didn't shut the door all the way. I live alone, so who really cares, right? Well, I'm standing there soaping up when all of a sudden the shower curtain rustles violently and suddenly something jumps in at me! I totally freaked at first because I had visions of Psycho here. I fully expected some dude with a knife to be coming at me. But it was just the cat. Shocked the hell out of her too, by the way. I guess she didn't realize what was going on in that shower and simply wanted to investigate.
But she got all wet and pissed off, then she jumped out of the shower faster than anything I've ever seen in my life. I heard all this commotion out there, so I poked my head out just in time to watch her skid across the counter with wet feet and land in the trash can. Needless to say, this wasn't a great morning for the cat. But after I got myself out of the shower and went to see if she was okay, she seemed over it. I think she was a little embarrassed though.
But when I went back into the bathroom to brush my teeth, she was back in the shower licking the floor. Now, she bathes herself in the water I give her to drink. And she prefers to drink the water I bathe myself in. That's a strange one. I don't think she's dealing with a full deck. But I don't care. If she was sane, she'd be a lot less entertaining to watch.
Oh, and I've decided to call her Misty. It's easier than Mystique. And I don't think she cares one way or another what I call her. After this incident this morning, I called her Psycho Freak and she still jumped up on my lap and started purring. She's easy to please.

OMG! Thank you so much for sharing that! I almost fell out of my chair laughing.Yes, the mentally challenged ones are entertaining and easy to make happy. It's amazing how embarrassed a cat can become. -

uniquely-ironic--Didn't mean to make you fall out of your chair, but it was hilarious, wasn't it? I'm kind of glad my cat isn't sane because she'd be boring if all she did was sleep. I'm enjoying her quirks and misguided adventures quite alot.
allswell--Glad I could make you laugh!
botoni--Yes, Misty is definitely a character. I'm having fun with her!

Apparently most cats prefer human-tasting water. It's the protein or something.
Thanks for the laugh, I needed it today.

Your story cracked me up! Cats do the strangest things.....my cat will beg like a dog, its hilarious. I had a cat a long time ago that used to drink the shower water too! And be careful leaving a glass of water around, unless of course, you don't mind drinking after your cat! Yuck....cat hair in your water is just a little unappealing!!!
Glad you and Misty are getting along!!! MM

Evil_twin- i think our cats are twins!! My cat LOVES to lay in the bathroom sink and i can turn the water on and she just lays there and licks it. She also sits between the shower curtains when i shower. When im done in the shower she goes and lays in the tub. My cat's name is patches but her nickname is poopy...long story lol anyway, i love your cats name!! -

Your cat is adorable. Reminds me of wolf, my giant silver tabby. Ya know how cats are supposed to be graceful? He'll be lying on the couch, all curled up and cuddly-looking. He'll start stretching and rolling around when BAM!! he falls off the couch on his head.I think you picked a winner.Check this out, I think you'll laugh: http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/min/312107726.html -

I love this! My daughter's cats did the same thing to her in the shower. Very cute.
And e_t, my cat loves to get wet. She gets in the shower afterwards and let's the showerhead finish dripping on her head. Misty is a very cute name.
Oh. One time my "grandcat", Izzy, pulled the coat rack ( one of those free-standing ones) over. She jumped from the top of the kitty condo and hung on to one of the branches and it toppled over. On the way down to the floor, it knocked over the shelf with all her DVDs and CDs on it. -
Lioness said on May 24, 2007....
LOL. At least she entertains you! It's much better having a slightly crazy cat than a couch meow. =) -

Cats have an amazing ability to do the stupidest things then get up and walk away with a distinct, "I don't care that I just did that" swagger.My brother's cat also has very disobedient paws. He'll sit there while you dangle string around ignoring both you and the string. Clearly saying, "I'm far to grown up to play with such silly things. It's beneath me." Then a paw will shoot out to catch the string. He'll then glare at the unruly, offending paw for ruining his point. Then back at you to say, " that wasn't me it never happend." -

Ha ha imagine how it will be when she will have some other little Freaks :) -
evil_twin said on May 24, 2007....
Thank you all for the comments! I'm definitely glad I got the cat, because now I have something to keep me entertained at home. I guess my cat isn't the only crazy one out there, huh? I love hearing all of these other stories!
Amyispretty, I looked at that story you posted and wow. That was sick! But when I was a kid, one of our cats did that too. We were getting ready to leave for school and it threw up it's food next to the food dish. My mom was in a rush, so she just left it there and said she'd clean it when we got home. But when we did get home, it was gone. YUCK.
And Jo_mamma, there won't be any little freaks. The cat is fixed. Plus, she's indoors only, so no Tomcats are getting to her, thankfully!

Replacement pussy. Nice!! Sounds like she entertains too, even better. -
MissMimi said on May 24, 2007....
I was just sitting here quietly and I kept hearing this very faint little rhythmic noise. My cat is snoring! I've never heard her do that before. -
WindRider said on May 24, 2007....
This was too funny. Thanks for sharing it. My 2 cats are not nearly as entertaining as everyone else's :-< -
Imladris said on May 24, 2007....
Hi Eviltwin, That was really funny - my cat likes to lick the bathwater when I'm in it. A cat we had when I was a kid had a bath with me once, by accident of course - she came flying into the bathroom, jumped on the side of the bath and skidded into the water. I've never seen a cat move so fast.SW - I just have 1 cat now, but it looks like I'm getting a kitten on Monday! There are some ferral kittens under a death sentance at my parents village, so I'm going to rescue one (?2), apparently I'll have to catch them 1st. Going to spend the weekend trying to find homes for the others.Any ideas for names, either sex and all black. -
rmuxagirl said on May 24, 2007....
That was simply wonderful darlin'. Mine tries to lick the bubbles when I take bubble baths. When I would stay at my ex's his kittens would walk along the side of the tub and push each other in. I've never seen Cuddles bathing in her water...she does throw up in it so I have to clean it out.
Does Misty think bed time equals play time? Mine sleeps until the moment I turn out the light and move around the get comfy....then I feel little paws attacking my feet and then her teeth nipping at them.
Imladris: how bout....Midnight or something to go with the dark color?

lyssa said on Jul 16, 2007....
I'm new here and was browsing through... yours looked interesting and I actually read through... anyhow, imagine if Misty came in with a knife?? Wouldn't that be something?? *okay, that's a little far-fetched but who knows!!* -

My friend's husband cat attacked her husband's balls. They were dangling when he got out the shower and was drying himself. My friend tells me her husband now gets out and immediately grab a towel to protect his jewels.
