Hi friends! You guys know that over here at ICanHasCheezburger we are absolutely obsessed with all things feline. And we have a pawesome community filled to the brim with cat lovers who love our feline-focused content. This week, we asked our fabulous feline-obsessed community to tell us about the most endearing and random things their cats do for attention, and boy did they deliver. 

From funny quirks to heart-melting gestures, these feline friends know just how to steal the spotlight. They don't have to do much to capture our attention considering how enamored we humans are with our cats, but it's hilarious to watch them regardless. Whether it's knocking over glasses of water, meowing incessantly for treats, or refusing to let their humans work in peace, these cats are masters at demanding attention. And who can blame them? With their adorable faces and irresistible charm, they deserve all the attention in the world and you best believe that we cat-loving humans are going to give it to them!

    Font - Vicki Stone Waddington He waits until I am done towelling off after my shower, and hang up my damp towel. Then he jumps up, grabs the towel with his claws and yanks it down off the towel rod. He gathers it up into the proper arrangement and then lays down on it, looking up to me to get my approval. Wha.....? Like Reply Hide 1w 11

    Font - Amanda Wilson This is Mickey. Mickey is completely obsessed with water. We have a cat fountain plus two other sources of water in the house and he still stands outside the bathroom screaming at us until we turn the faucet on drip. He's even been known to sleep in the bathtub to be near his water. Like Reply Hide 1w 3

    Font - Brian Blanton I have one that will lick bars of soap. Doesn't matter what brand. I have even found bars of soap lick/eroded so bad in the middle that they become two separate halves. I have to put all soap bars out of reach. I don't get it. Like Reply Hide Send Message 6d Edited 2

    Rectangle - Sarah Locke When I was leading a horse or just out walking through the woods on our property, the 2 dogs would follow in a line, and my previous cat would get in line behind them. It was like a pet parade! Like Reply Hide 1w OD 3

    Font - Top fan Thomas Drane Every time I go to the mail box, he gives me a drawn out report usually about 6-8 cat sounds in a row, and if I don't respond, he seems to ask 'what's up' in a pair of meows. 107 Like Reply Hide 1w

    Font - Top fan Emily K Wedekind My boy, who was neutered at about 6 months old, turns his butt to, and wiggles his tail at, things a cat would normally mark with urine. He doesn't actually do anything and taught a younger cat to do it but I think it's funny. Like Reply Hide 1w 8

    Rectangle - Top fan Deidre Mitchell My (our) boy meows LOUDLY and insistently until hubby takes him for a walk when he gets home from work. He has trained him (hubby) to progress from the letterbox, to a couple of houses down; until hubby gets too self-conscious and takes him home! He also prefers to be outside - in the frost, in the rain, even in the snow when we moved to Canada for a couple of years. Like Reply Hide 1w 5

    Font - Melissa Pyle I have 2 female cats, Max & Olive. Max likes to freak me out by sitting perfectly still, staring off into space, then she'll rise up on her back legs (standing like a person) and stare at something I'm not seeing. It's kinda creepy. Olive likes to run right in front of you when you're walking...then slow down so you almost trip over her. We lovingly call her "Trippany." Like Reply Hide 1w 9

    Font - Top fan Lisa Wiley My last cat would carry a small stuffed duck around while no one was home. If we were there, she would ignore it. My current cat, wrestles with the dog. He has loads of places he can go to get away from her, but he seems to prefer to wrestle. Like Reply Hide Send Message 6d

    Font - Top fan Alexandria Higgins-McKnight She suddenly started doing this this week: You'll be standing there, doing something (looking in a cabinet, standing at the stove, talking on the phone and not moving) and she'll put her front paws on your thigh for attention and skritches.
