In list form.

1) He likes to get in the shower. IN the shower, IN the water.  If we close the bathroom door and he hears the shower running he sits outside the door and cries loudly.  I'd let him in but who wants wet cat running around a small apartment EVERYDAY.

2) He suckles our dog, nonstop.  He's a big boy now (1 year) but if we let him sleep in the bedroom with us and our dog, he will suckle our dog to the point where the dog begins to whimper and cry and then he'll keep going.

3) He loves earwax. He breaks into our trash in the bathroom to get at q-tips.  Initially I thought he just liked Q-tips so I threw a few into the living room for him to play with.  They sat on the floor for a few days untouched while he broke into the trash can hundreds of time to chew on our earwax.

4) Sometimes he sits in his litterbox hissing to himself.  The litterbox is in our laundry closet and we keep the door closed (it has a cat door) so if nobody goes in there to interrupt him he will sit in there hissing to himself for hours on end.

5) He will only drink water from our dog's water dish or from our cups.  We've tried buying him his own identical set, we tried leaving little bowls throughout the apartment for him. Nope. Now I have one of our glasses painted with his name that we leave for him on the dining table.

I know everybody's cat has 'quirks' but really? This is out of control. Does anybody else's cat have quirks to this degree?

My cat suckles my other cat too! He will do it until my other cat has a wet belly and the victim just sits there and lets him do it!  and I agree, #4 made me laugh out loud for real! I admit when I read that I hissed under my breath a little which made me giggle even more! :)

Oh always happy to provide pics of my Baby! This actually reminds me of another one of his quirks - he LOVES video games.  If FI is playing any sort of military game, well you see. He sits there and he plays along. He likes to "tag" things as they explode.

That's actually hilarious to me (not so much to the video-gaming player :)

That is hilarious.

My cat is an alien too. We have to make sure cleaning products are NOT left out, because she likes to lick the nozzles.

Also, She hisses while i pet her... but she's not unhappy... she likes it. It's like her way of purring.

I had to add a picture because she even LOOKS like an alien:

@robinlinz: Oh that's hilarious about her hissing instead of purring.. that makes me laugh.

My cat didn't know how to hiss until Christmas when he met my parent's cats. I think he's practicing in the potty. It's where we all do our best thinking.

@Miss Pinot Grigio ah! our cats are (evil) twins!  I've never heard of another cat liking the shower before.

Yup, your cat does sound like an alien!  Funny how cats will suckle things. I woke up once to mine suckling on my knee.  My cat also likes to play tug of war with the dog although he isnt too good at it. 

LOL rachaelrobin! I got my kitties one for christmas and they go CRRRAZY!  Sometimes I make it look like the beam goes in a shoe, or a keyhole, and they will stare at it FOREVER waiting for it to come back.

sahsabahs, your cat is hilarious! 

I think our cat is an alien too! He does the following:

1. Suckles...on our hands. Yup! He gets comfortable by kneading our laps and rubbing his head under my chin and then when he's comfy and I'm petting him, he latches onto the fleshy part of my hand and suckles. He is almost 6 years old.

2. He loves to dig used qtips out of the trash and chews them til there is no cotton swab on the end anymore...and proceeds to leave the sticks in neat piles for us.

3. When I'm in the bathroom and the door is shut he scratches at the door...and then when I won't let him in he starts putting his paws under the door so I can see them.

4. He won't eat the crumbs in his food dish. There are always crumbs and one time I piled up on the crumbs and put them on top of the food I was putting in his dish for the day...he ate around the crumbs.

5. I always wondered why the floor was so wet so I watched him drink from his waterbowl one day (it's a dome type thing because he used to spill his whole bowl from moving it around)...and it turns out that he takes both of his paws and slaps at the water over and over and over again.

oh! i almost forgot...can't leave glasses of water unsupervised! I caught him drinking from my glass by sticking his paw into it and then licking his paw...over and over again. Should have known since he drinks like that from his water dish too.
