Feline Psych
Cats, originally uploaded by 160507.
Behavior that is unattractive in humans but endearing in felines:
Koosi ignores me when I play with her, but when I’m not paying attention she walks over and bites my toes. She likes to hide behind curtains and under furniture, and launch stealth attacks on the other cats. She turns up her nose at most kinds of food, fresh fish included, and says “Eww” by pawing the floor next to the bowl. She will only eat if I’m not watching. Lately she’s taken to being called O Mighty Goddess Bast.
Saffy will look up when I call her name, look me up and down, and not come near me. However when I call Koosi and Mat, she comes running. She does not like it when I pay attention to the other cats, and expresses it by trying to bite me. Sometimes she will attack a book I am reading. Her favorite spot for naps is the keyboard of my Mac–while I’m working on it. She likes to chew on wool and on certain types of plastic such as Fully Booked bags. We have lots of bookstore bags “embossed” with her fangs.
Mat will eat from his own bowl at breakfast, but the rest of the day he sneaks snacks from Koosi’s and Saffy’s bowls. He acts like he’s afraid of heights, but sometimes when I get home he’s on top of a shelf, invading Koosi’s territory. When we go out he refuses to walk on his own, preferring to be carried at all times. He ignores cat toys, but is fascinated with pens. He is too hoity-toity to bury his own poop in the litter box; instead he starts clawing at the side of the toilet bowl as if he were trying to flush.
When I bring them new toys, they ignore the toys and play with the wrappers or boxes.

My cat likes it when I put a loose plastic bag on his head and poke the plastic with something (i.e. a crumpled piece of paper). He will then grope after it like crazy. If I try to play with him without the bag, he completely ignores me.

My cat wakes me up by poking me with her paw at around 4am almost everyday, asking for food. She works better than my alarm clock.

my cat max was never that sweet to begin with (i got him in 2005), so it came as mild surprise that he follows me around like a dog and wails like a banshee when he gets locked out of my room :D
