We always celebrate how awwdorable and wholesome and special our cats are, there's no question about that. But, for this week's challenge, we decided to celebrate one of our cats' weirder sides. Because we love our cats for their weirdness too. We love weird cats who are unrelentingly obsessed with sinks. We love weird cats who seem to love pizza more than they love us sometimes. We love weird cats who make the most bewildering non-meow noises.
Weirdness is essential to a cat. Without their strange habits, life with cats would be so boring. That's why we asked you guys to tell us about your cats most ridiculous and funny eating habits. You, of course, delivered. Only, somehow, even the funniest and most ridiculous answers made us aww. That's what it's like to be in love with cats, we suppose.
"My boy Milo likes to drink from the elevated dog water bowl. He will happily lap it up then stops for a moment and waves his paw under the bowl and looks confused. The bowl is held up by a frame but he doesn't understand why there is air underneath the water."
"His existence is one ridiculous standard. He only eats one food with one wet food added. Wrong brand, missing a component, or wrong ratio will result in sitting ten feet away glaring at his bowl and scratching you every time you walk by. Water served anywhere besides a bowl on the side of my bathtub results in nighttime shenanigans that include jumping and sliding across every surface in the bedroom and knocking things off then sleeping at the bottom of the bed with his back to me. When all is reasonably acceptable he will sleep next to me but can't touch him or he will leave. When the food and water universe lines up then he will share my pillow with me. He also likes to stare condescendingly from the top of the refrigerator."
"This little bit has to sniff EVERYTHING my boyfriend and I eat, she will not eat it but has to sniff... then she hangs her mouth open. If she likes it she tries to rub it, if she dislikes she pulls her head away all offended..
With her own food she scoop ONE kibble out and plays hockey with it, she will not go for any other kibble except that one until she decides to eat it. If it gets stuck under something she will hunt it for hours."
"The multicolour, Luchy, will only drink fresh cold water and likes to try to bury his food dish if there is food left in it. I've seen him drag rugs and shirts from other rooms, but if he can't find anything he just paws at the floor and fakes it. The gray and white one, Nitro, is obsessed with McDonalds fries (and only McDonalds - I've tried giving him some from other places and he turns his nose up at them), and the crust edge off pizza pops for no understandable reason. Both cats have learned to recognize the sound of cheese slices being opened, and will magically appear to beg for a piece whenever you open one."
