Does your cat steal things? Knock things off tables?

Our cats knock everything off of tables and other furniture. They seem to like watching them fall. My father-in-law says they are repeating Isaac Newton's experiments.

Sometimes, though, one will knock down something that makes a louder crash than they expected. Then the cat will run for its life, apparently thinking "How did that happen?"

One of our cats' favorite toy is a dirty Q-Tip. She finds Q-Tips in the trash bin and takes them out and chases them around the house. It's funny to see her sneaking up on an unsuspecting Q-Tip as it lies innocently on the floor. She's careful not to let the Q-Tip see her until the last possible moment.

Cat lovers consider that cats love to do gravity experiments. They want to continually test whether the Law of Gravity has been repealed, and the best way to do that is to knock things off tables, etc. As long as they drop to the floor, the cat is assured that gravity is still present.

And cats will sneak off with things. Some cats will continually take things and stash them on one place. Some cat owners get quite a surprise when the discover the stash.

If I have pasta measured out prior to putting them into boiling water, and turn my back, one of my cats will grab some and run away with it. It is really funny to see her racing off with a strand of spaghetti in her mouth.

Hehehee my cat's like that too xD She is determined to sit/walk on places that she can't fit on, stay in cardboard boxes, will only settle down on a rectangle (eg, the tv guide, school book, work, letters, laptop, patterns on a rug...), she also love Biro's! No Biro's in my house stay on a surface for more than 10 minutes before being whacked onto the floor! She likes sitting on window sills and knocking off very expensive breakable ornamentsts, she'll sit on a windows sill or outside table and almost 'talk' to the birds by making a weird chirpy noise, she has to dip her paw in her water before drinking it, if you whistle she goes bizzerke! running about meowing/singing and the funniest thing is she'll run through the kitchen, whip open 3 cupboard doors and run off like a naughty school kid.... she is hilariouss! xD

I have a kitten, she's less than a year old now, near the size of an adult cat, but still has her kitten tendencies. She's plays constantly. She carries things around in her mouth like a dog, toys, pieces of paper, she loves the rings off of a milk jug lid, just about anything she can pick up. She also knocks everything off tables, lighters, soda caps, coasters, anything.

Cats always surprise us with the things they do,just as you were surprised that she made off with your sharpie! i had a cat once who loved nothing more than to knock things off shelf's, it was as if she loved to see me panic,she once knocked over a thousand piece jigsaw that was almost completed,i only had about ten pieces to go but my cat had other ideas!,i started all over again but some pieces were missing and never found,

she would also meow for help to get down from the shed at 2 am each morning, my brother in law got her down one time and got his pyjama bottoms stuck on a nail ripping them in the bargain,if that wasn't bad enough the neighbour came around the corner with a torch, as he thought we had intruders,and saw more than he should have done as his pyjamas were gone at the back end, not leaving anything to the imagination!

my brother in law still hasn't lived it down and we haven't stopped laughing,and a cat caused all this drama,like your story about your friends bruise,though i suspect your friend didn't find it funny at the time ouch!

and yes you gotta love them!

When I had a cat it jumped on the counter then knocked over a glass of water

My cats new favourite thing is stealing the dog's kibble and batting it around. Also tearing down halls like racecars. I wish I knew how to keep them off of counters when I'm not around them.. They break dishes, get food everywhere, lick dishes, steal paper.. It's so annoying. >_<

My oldest cat has such an attitude, she particularly hates when anyone in the house sings, and will meow quite angrily at anyone who does! Also, she likes to be under the covers at night, and will steal my blankets at times as she wraps herself in them!

My middle cat has me trained to get her food. If she gets hungry at night and her bowl is empty, she will come into my bedroom and poke me with her paw until I wake up, and then she'll meow at me! Once, she even "punched" me in the eye with her little paw! Rotten things.

is this a kitten? because of fact they're born to seek, climb, and look for out. we've a similar concern. I truly have a can of money, we provide it a small shake and this stops the misbehaving. The habit at nighttime is a great concern for us, so we attempt and save her conscious for the duration of the day and positioned on her out so she will sleep at nighttime. yet they do desire to be on the prowl. as quickly as grownup cat hood is reached a number of this habit ought to shrink you additionally can try to self-discipline the behaviors you dont like for the duration of the day, so he will comprehend to not try this at nighttime
