Bad Cat! Bad Cat!

I got a new kitten a few weeks ago to give my other cat, Henry, a buddy. He was clearly bored out of his mind and taking it out on me and my roommate (in the form of attacking us, claws and teeth out). I'm happy to say that Mini is just what Henry needed! They beat up on each other all day long and Henry is pretty much an angel now. And Mini is adorable and sweet. Which is a good thing, because she has some terrible habits. New ones pop up with frequency, so at some point, this list will not be exhaustive. Here's a taste:
* Doesn't cover her poop
* Has the worst smelling poop of any animal. Ever.
* Drinks water by putting her feet in the water dish and splashing around, like a small child in a puddle. Water dish now permanently resides in the bathtub, so as not to damage the wood floors.
* Plays in the toilet.
* Enthusiastic nurser, despite the fact that no one's offering any teats.
* Takes things out of my trash to play with them.
* Unrolls the toilet paper onto the floor.
* Chews on the tape on the couch that's supposed to discourage cats from clawing it.
* In CONSTANT motion

  1. Whoever invents an accurate animal personality testing kit for pre-adoption use is going to be the next richest person in the world. Is it the same I wonder with kids? They turn out to be insane but you love them anyway because, well, they are yours, blah blah.

  3. I had a cat with about 80% of the annoying habits above, plus she liked to take her poop out of the box. She would bat it around the house and it would end up in my purse.
    she would also knock things off the counters just for the hell of it, she especially liked full glasses of water.
    She was the devil. we later found out she was blind and felt bad. not bad enough to ever get another cat.

  4. Hahahaha Becky! The poop in the purse is insane. I sometimes wonder if Mini is a little "touched."
