What does your cat get away with?

Walking across the cooker leaving footprints. Refusing to drink out of a water bowl that isn't green, so I have just ordered a new one as someone trod on it. Locking the butter off toast that's not ring-fence. Sleeping across my bed, thus meaning I sleep in the foetal position. Bringing me live mice at 3am. And a thousand other things; trouble is, the kittens are learning fast!

I am no longer owned by a cat but when I was he got away with whatever he wanted to do! I lost count of the number of times I have gone to bed much later than I needed because I didn't want to disturb the cat sleeping on my lap.

Oliver is 18mths old now and the boss cat here on our little close all the neighbours know and love him but his paws across my glass coffee table really irritate me when he could walk around it to get to his spot at the front window,if the children so much as touch said table they get told to move away but he gets away with it every time.

My OH always loved cats,he had a lovely white kitten when I met him,sadly she was run down and killed ...and when we got married he brought a cat home after two weeks.We had her for 13 years .Didn't replace her but now 30 years later we have a kitten and he gets away with stuff the kids would get hell for .The strange thing is OH is allergic to cat fur so he has to take antihistamines every day but theres no way he would part with the "beast" as he's known.He was in and out at least 4 or 5 times during last night and that was after OH waiting up for him to come home until 1'30 ...despite having an early appointment this morning .

Sleeping in H's chair.
H has aimed it as it has the lamp behind for reading and a handy table next to it. If the cat is in the chair when H wants to settle down for the evening and the cat is there H will sit on the sofa "because Bertie looks so comfortable"
I'd move the cat to the sofa.

Nearly ready to go out to the Christmas bash on Saturday, went to the wardrobe to get my 'going out'
bag and find it clawed to ruin by my cat. Luckily I adore said cat (who generally gets away with murder as the local wildlife would testify) and found a -older- replacement. Had it been a person who had done the deed all hell would have broken loose... as my daughters quite rightly pointed out. Bless.
