Ten Crazy Things Cats Do

Anyone who lives with a cat knows that they were lucky to be chosen by that cat. You also know that the day you brought your little fur ball home, your house became the property of the cat, and you get visitation rights. Cats are amazing animals that bring so much happiness and love to the people they own. Of course, they do some pretty strange things and everyone owned by a cat has wondered, "Why do they do that?"

The first cat imponderable is cats chasing their tails. Why do they do that? It's not like the tail is an add on. They were born with them. Yet cats of all ages, kittens and adults, find the need to chase their tails. It's almost as if they think this weird thing is attacking them and they must run in circles to catch it. Just as strange is when they catch their tail. They look at it for a second as if wondering what happened and then begin chasing all over again. They eventually find something else more interesting or get tired, but don't worry; the attacking tail will be back tomorrow.

Second, why do cats always stand in front of the computer screen while you are on the computer? The computer goes unnoticed all day. The cat naps all day, yet when you turn on the computer to do a little work or surf the web, the cat is right there in the way. It does not matter how small the cat is, they block the whole screen so you can't see anything. And don't even try to push them out of the way. They just come back more determined to block your view!

Another strange thing about cats is that they love the little plastic tops from milk cartons. Cat people know what I'm talking about. When you first open a carton of milk, the little piece of plastic that most people discard, becomes the cat's newest toy. You can go to the store and buy the fanciest, most expensive toy and they will ignore it. Open a carton of milk and they are in kitty heaven. If a diet became popular in America that banned milk, cats everywhere would protest. Nothing comes in between a cat and their plastic milk topper.
