Some people adopt older cats with their own quirks and personalities and misbehaviors. Not everyone gets a brand new kitten to hand raise and train not to do this stuff.... my cat was adopted older but he is well behaved he doesn't scratch furniture or anything. But he still has his quirks... he's vocal, he likes to push things off desks (mostly trinkets to play with, nothing big) he loves sitting on things you're looking at or reading, these are pretty typical cat behaviors... moreover, just like dogs, cats breeds have different traits. For example how sheepdogs need more excercise and stimulation, certain cats are high energy and others are chill.... its hard to know what yours is going to be until you have them.

My thoughts exactly. Some of these were obviously staged. Still, they were entertaining.

My cats *never* killed my glass ornaments. That was the adult humans in the house.

An interesting post, my only gripe, is those who allow, their cats to run free outdoors, it's not safe, and they kill birds for sport, cat fights can lead to serious injury, or hit by a car !!!

And that is the operative word there... "as best you can". Because despite being cute and cuddly, they are predators. And they are SNEAKY, too.

Pretty much negative propaganda put out by cat-haters. Cats DO hunt, but the biggest danger to ALL wildlife is pollution, pesticides, habitat loss/fragmentation, architectural wonders like mirrored buildings ... Giant windmills kill thousands of migrating birds. Cats make perfect scapegoats for ALL the damage from the "progressive" accomplishments of mankind. Cats have always been around, but the DECIMATION of birds, and ALL vanishing wildlife, has occurred since we've INDUSTRIALIZED our planet. ALSO - RODENTS destroy millions of dollars of food supplies and property, eat hatchlings, and enjoy a nice snack of bird eggs (I've personally seen this is a living museum I worked at) They eat lizards in torpor (witnessed this, too) Rodents spread hanta, bubonic plague, salmonellosis, and listeria. I'd rather have cats. PS: our cats enjoy the outdoors in a catio built just for them. Keeps everyone safer. AND T-N-R works. Should be implemented everywhere.

Yeah, I saw a Cat got Smashed by a car, I can't get it off my head, R.I.P Cat😿

My cats are earning their living by keeping rodents away from chickens/chicken feed and our outbuildings. Then again I am lucky to have a small farm in the middle of nowhere. Keeping them inside would make them unhappy and frustrated (although i do understand that in the city there is no option to let them outside). My cats (and dog) were all unwanted by previous owners (so called animal lovers).

THIS! Keep them inside for their sake and for the sake of endangered wildlife. Cats are alien to most places outside of Egypt/Northern Africa and don't belong running loose out there.

I had one stinker who drank my lemonade and another whose head 'somehow' got buried in my orange juice glass. (There was plenty of water available--they just wanted *mine*.) There's no understanding cats...but we love 'em.
