strange things cats do

Have you ever noticed that if you put a piece of paper on the floor no matter how small your cat will sit on it?

To Blanx - thank you! and yes it's really cute to watch.
I had suspected it was something like that. When we first got Clio, nearly 8 years ago, we lived in a house near a running stream with little waterfalls. She enjoyed playing around it and jumping about the rocks and stones, and no doubt, drinking the water. We had to move to town to a top-floor flat about 5 years ago so she's now an indoor cat. Feel a bit guilty about that but she seems happy enough. She also likes catching drips from a tap with her paws, and dipping her paws in the bathwater, though she's had one fall in and a few near misses.
Where did you buy the drinking fountain, and is it intented for cats?

I bought a fountain from EBay. It is pretty noisy though and scared Frankie and Merlin when I first plugged it in.

However they usually ignore it and drink from a leaking tap instead!

To Wolf 63 - thank you!
I'll have a look on EBay!

My old cat Russell used to lie on me and suck my tee shirt and knead as cats do. I had a pair of pyjamas which when he saw them used to go mad for. They were his favourite thing to suck. The cat we have now, when she was a young kitten used to position herslf right over the plughole in the bath and wee !!!!!

Years ago we had a cat that used to position himself right over the top of one of those long narrow coal scuttles and use it as cat litter.

One of my present cats has a passion for running of with my glasses. She is absolutely fascinated by them and even gets them out of my handbag!

Lovely animals cats - a law unto themselves! x

Sheba my little gray cat likes to think she is a dog . she plays fetch ? throw a piece of rolled up silver paper for her and no matter where you go in the house she will bring it back to me and actually drop it at my feet waiting for me to throw it again
