Pussy cat revenge?!

[wolf63]

After tinglepie's post we all need to relax a bit and think cheerful thought.

My question is - are cats capable of taking revenge on their human slaves? When I was getting my Tesco shopping delivered earlier Princess Merlin started to make a dash for freedom - I threw a bag (with one yogurt in it) in her direction to scare her off. Alas it hit her and she raced/stomped off upstairs.

I then left the house to meet a friend for lunch. When I came back 'somebody' had barfed up in my slipper.

Is this a coincidence or is it revenge?

Any stories of revenge by pussycats? We could make a film. "Revenge of the pussycat".

I've copied and pasted this from a post I made on another thread recently but, if you didn't see it first time round, I hope that it might amuse you:

I once decided to economise and bought a cheaper brand of cat food than usual for the moggy I had at the time. Unsurprisingly, he turned his nose up at it and refused to eat it. As he did so, I noticed something in his eye which suggested that revenge was on his mind.

In the early hours of the following morning, I gradually drifted into consciousness, awakened by what appeared to be the sound of the TV or radio downstairs. Cursing myself for forgetting to turn something off, I stumbled out of bed to identify the cause of the irritating sounds. As I went downstairs, the sounds resolved themselves into words. Someone was saying "Hello? Is anyone there? Do you need help?". I got to the foot of the stairs to find that the voice was coming from my phone (which has a 'hands-free' facility). It turned out that the cat, obviously irritating by my choice of food, had managed to walk over the phone, pressed the 'speaker' button and dialled 999!

oh wolf thats hilarious, sorry

my cat did that once on my husband's jeans that were lying on a chair cos we went out for the night and left him lol

Chris - I laughed it before and I laughed at it again. Was it not you that woke to find the neighbours cat on your bed?

They may look like innocent little furry animals - but they aren't.

weeal - it seems that they can actually pick when and where to barf.

tinglepie's post was cruel, childish and not at all amusing.

[weeal]

sorry - Chris - just read yours properly and burst out laughing

they do have wee personalities eh

I think cat's are brilliant! I'm sure they think and are capable of a lot more than we credit them with. Be afraid, be very afraid!
Apologies for repeating this as I have posted this before but one of mine was sick in my ex-husband's slipper after he had laughed at her (she fell off the television). She had calmly walked up and bit him prior to being sick but she was very vengeful!

oh thank you wolf you've beaten me to it, i was thinking to that after tinglepie we all needed a laugh. dont think ive ever had a cat thats exacted his/hers revenge but ive been on the end of some very dirty looks, and my mums cat big ginge often gives me a very smug look when hes tucked up on her knee. i do remember laughing at something on the tv and caught the expression on patches face which made me laugh even more, the more he stared at me the more i laughed until i could hardly breath, whilst tying to tell him i wasnt laughing at him honest. what is it about human laughter that they dont like?

[taichiperson]

My parents' cat is always 'off' with them for a good fortnight after coming back from kennels. No sick, she's very neat, but general ignoring and the odd scratch or nip. And maybe the occasional mouse corpse in strategic places where bare feet are likely to step!

[madboutcats]

my partner found one very alive but frightened mouse in my sandals this morning, like to think it was hiding there, just glad he found it before i put them on, bad enough big furry paws without a human toe booting it up the backside.

Tee hee , thanks for this thread wolf , we needed it after being upset yesterday . I don't have a cat but do adore them and their characters . I am really allergic to them and yet they seem to seek me out and come up close knowing how adorable I think they are :-) xxxxxx

[alfieblue]

What lovely messages! Had such a giggle reading them and it fairly brightened my morn after yesterday with the tinglepie thing. What lovely people you are.

I think i said before about my pussy cat experience - she would rugby tackle my ankle - pounce out of nowhere!!! Used to be very frightened!!!! Well - not really - cos if I couldn't see her, I knew she was waiting..........!!!

Was quite hard walking around with kitten wrapped around the ankle ..... until she decided it was time to let go!!!!

What characters they all are!!! :o)xx

[madboutcats]

oh bigmamma my mum has friends that dont like cats and patch would always bee-line for them. ive read somewhere that cats are drawn to people who ignore them and dont look at them and thats why they will go over to them, they just have to say hello, i know your case is different but maybe thats what your doing without realising as you know you're allergic to them you turn away... well its just a thought. i pride myself in that where ever i am i can spot a cat at forty paces....hee hee. i can't walk past a cat without saying hello, a little chin rub and a stroke if they'll let me.

yesterday while painting my bathroom, the (stupid) cat trod in the paint and fled through the house, leaving a lovely trail of blue kitty paw prints on the carpet after her...after bathing her to remove the paint (very bubbly and an awful lot of mewing, scratching and struggling) and scrubbing the carpet with white spirit and then washing up liquid, the house calmed down and we spent the evening getting high off the fumes! as yet, no revenge has taken place (although a mutilated mouse was left in my back garden - a sign of things to come, perhaps?) and am waiting for god know's what to happen!!! if it was me, i would use my claws on a bare bottom in the middle of the night...

Fantastic question Wolf and Chris your story made me laugh as well as a lot of other posts on the thread! I don't think my cats have taken revenge as such, they don't need to with me as they have me wrapped round their paws anyway and know that I will cater to their every little catty wish. The only thing I can think of is that when I try them on a new cat food, usually an expensive one, they wolf it down as though I have not fed them for months and then when I give a sigh of relief that they actually like cat food instead of best steak or chicken (breast of course) I buy in lots of the new cat food. Of course as soon as I serve up the new food, they throw me a disgusted look and refuse to touch it. The whole lot then goes in the bin and they feast on chicken! Cats, who needs them!!!

I had my carpets steam cleaned to the sum of �150 a few weeks ago. Got up the next day and in my half unconscious state trod right in a pile of regurgitated grass on my way to the bathroom!

Yuk!!!

[alfieblue]

Oh! what a lovely lot you are - i just giggle when i read your messages!!! Bless you all. :o)

It all makes lovely reading!! xx

[bensmum]

lol tigger - I too have had that pleasure as well as the mouse entrails!

I went for an afternoon nap but couldn't sleep because Frankie (brother of the barfer) was scraping away in the litter tray. It seemed to go on for ages.

I got up and toddled through to the bathroom. Frankie must have tipped the tray over and it was on its end, cat litter on the floor. He was trying to scrape the litter back into the box. He looked up and saw me standing - he gave a good impersonation of a 'bad dog' stance - all crouched low and guilty looking.

It was really sweet. When I went back to bed he came to visit and was extra loving.

Much as I moan about the antics of Princess Merlin and Frankie they are lovely cats and I am so glad that I am their mummy.

When K. Jnr was little, we had a succession of au pairs. Most of them were lovely and my old cat, Cleo got on fine with them. Then we got a bloke (well, he was supposed to be a bloke, but he liked dressing up in womens' clothes & was like a great lump of lard - but hey, that's another story!). Cleo LOATHED him and I told him to keep his bedroom door shut,( because I knew what she'd do!) Anyway, one night he left his door open and at about 2a.m. he woke me (Mr. K was on night shift), saying, "I've got something to show you." Well, you can imagine what I thought, but no - I went into his room and he had the mattress propped up against the wall and all the bedlinen in a heap. Cleo had gone in, in the middle of the night and pee-ed on the bed with him in it!! I had to try not to laugh! He went back to Hungary shortly after that & Cleo never upset another au pair again!

Just had a real laugh at Kleiber's story. It seems they will go to great lengths when the fancy takes them! What personalities though - wouldn't want to change them. I am having to type this in the most uncomfortable position because madam Florence has taken up residence on my lap and I haven't the heart to distrub her. What idiots they make of us!
