P*ssed Off Gato!

[Bonny]

We made a short trip up to Mendocino and Humboldt Counties for our anniversary. Returned to find the distinct smell of cat pee in my office. Turns out the Super-sized Siamese left a present including the solid stuff in my banker's box full of 2014 tax stuff. The IRS better not choose to audit 2014!

We do have someone come in and scoop the kitties' box every day. We think the cats get literally p*ssed off.

What do your pets do to let you know they aren't happy when you leave?

[Robert not Bobby]

I am tough guy, sort of...but my dog Bruno, always comes with me/us. When he doesn't he always...

Shreds the curtains.

-rofl-I know it really isn't funny, but I have always had cats and yes, they definitely let you know they were not happy with your absence.  Personally I would hope the IRS does want to look at 2014.  Given the pungency of cat urine, that would probably be the world's quickest audit.

LOL!

Worst was the time when I found out the other cat pooped and peed in my shoe...the hard way!

[Cookies Galore]

I have a cat who coughs up her displeasure. We keep an old blanket on top of our nice duvet cover because the bed is one of her preferred spots to voice her opinion.
There was one night she was irritating me in the middle of the night and I kicked her out of the room. I almost immediately heard *hurk hurk* outside the door.

[Jaguar]

Charlie my poodle used to shred the bottom sheet on my bed. Elmo the cat used to drag my clothes around the house and yes into the litter box.

No one wonder why I am pet free since September 2010.

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

My cat has a talent of scooping the "logs" out of the litter box and onto the floor if he's ticked off at me.

In the gawd-awful crack-of-dawn hours of the morning when HE decides he wants to be fed, he attacks my feet as I'm sleeping - or bats at my face. I swear he's Simon's Cat 2:

[Bonny]

Loved the video ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ! That used to be our Supersized Siamese. Only he would nip your nose if you slept through everything else.

Now that he's an old man he just hollers at the top of his lungs, sometimes at 3am. Siamese are not quiet cats!

[Jaguar]

Scratch Siamese off my kitty list.

LOL, but they are so worth it. Really. We've had 5 full or mixed Siamese. They are terrific cats.

[Jaguar]

Oh well maybe I'll get one and have the next 20+ years not sleeping anytime.

My Siamese is SUCH a pain in the butt, but I knew what I was getting into. He's not my first.

[msventoux]

Let me count the ways:
Drag my dirty clothes out of the hamper and disperse them throughout the house.
Pee on my dirty clothes.
Pee on my bed.
Crap on my bed.
Crap in a trail from the front door to the back door to the bedroom.
Chew the knobs off all the drawers in the house.
Puke up wood slivers and chips throughout the house.
Puke in my shoe.
Puke on my bed.
Puke on my spot on the couch.
Puke on the dining table.
Eat one of each shoe in the closet.
Break into the bifold closet to find shoes, get trapped, panic, knock the door down.
Panic that the door is knocked down, knock down a couple of side tables for good measure.
Shred toilet paper.
Shred paper towels.
Shred bath towels.
Shred each other.
Get in the kitchen and bath garbage and spread it throughout the house.
Tip every garbage can in the house over.
Tip every vase, lamp and water dish over.

I'll let you figure out if a cat or dog was the guilty party; you might be surprised by who the culprit was.  I'm sure there's more.  My animals are assholes. 

[The Walk of the Penguin Mich]

I guess we have been lucky in all our animals.  When they are pissed off, they don't leave us presents like this.

When we need to leave the mutt, he gets locked in the utility room.  Worst he can do is get into the trashcan.....even though he did eviscerate my Coach purse, he took EVERYTHING out of it, including passports and Nexus cards in the zippered pocket, but not a single scratch on the leather.  If he gets left in the house, he has been known to empty out the pantry on the shelves he can reach (folding door he can push open)  Canned goods now get stored on the bottom shelves!  I think he has largely been deterred from this though.....the last time, he got into a bag of dried chilis.

The cat just makes us feel guilty.  He follows us around when we get home, telling us loudly how pissed off he was about being left alone.

[TheOtherMe]

I have only had one cat who ever left presents when she was mad at me.  All the others were very vocal about it and my current cat is vocal about it.  

The cat who left presents peed on everything and anything.  She even got mad when I went to work.  Eventually she no longer had a home.

Well, technically, he's a Tonkinese, not Siamese, but you'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference just by looking at him. They look the same, but have different personality traits. Siamese tend to be aloof or bond with just one person. Tonks love everybody!!

"Oh hai!! I love you! Scratch my belly! You're my new best friend! Can I go home with you?"

Both breeds are extremely intelligent and very vocal, launching into a litany of complaints the second you make eye contact with them.

[thyme4change]

I recall leaving for one night, and when I came home, my cat ran over to me like I had been gone for a month.  He was so happy to see me.  He rubbed his face all over my leg, and then he suddenly stopped, looked up at me, and then bit me.  I think when he saw me, he forgot how mad he was at me.  And then he suddenly remembered, so he had to punish me.  

[Lizard Queen]

Anyone else leave a radio on for their cats when they leave? 

[taz157]

When we had cats, sometimes we left the TV on for them when we left for an extend time.

[Spellbound454]

My cat pooped in my best underwear drawer.

 

I had a lovely silk camisole with matching French knickers, never worn

and it was ruined.  ugh

Our one year olds stood in a parcel he had left by the door (instead of the litter tray)

The last straw came when I found he climbed in to the baby's cot

He lived in the garage from then on.

I always have a resident Siamese. I don't know what I'd do if there wasn't a Siamese presence. It's a must have, loud mouth and all! 

[Tiny]

My cats apparently could care less if I lived or died. None of them (3 previous cats and the two current carts) have done anything I perceived as vindictive.

If I'm going to be gone more 36 hours - I will have someone come and feed/clean the litter box. When I've been gone for many days, I've been lucky to have friends/neighbors who could stop by and maintain the cats schedule - so the cats got fed in the morning and then someone checked them, fed them again, and cleaned the boxes in the evening. I imagine for the cats it was like I wasn't even gone .

Actually, they've always been pretty happy to see me when I get home - after the initial "EEEKKK!! A Stranger!! WE must hide!! Who are you? Why are you in our house!?!" I get the whole litany of what happened while I was gone - and get rubbed on and then get the demand to give them 'gushy' food. ::sigh::

I have almost been smothered in my sleep that first night back home - so maybe they are upset.


FWIW: I had an alpha female cat - she Ruled the House with an Iron Paw - who had a fantastic grasp of the value of stuff. She'd hork up a hair ball on the silk blouse on the floor even if there were other things like t-shirts or cheap rayon blouses available - even if she had to go out of her way to do it. She'd hork up a hair ball on the Wool Rug --- NEVER on the fake rug - even though the fake rug was mighty nice looking in the beginning. I suspect she could tell the jewelry with real jems from the fake stuff too. She was a great cat (as long as you followed her rules).

My cats don't let me talk smack about them on the internet

[gacpa]

I love this thread!

When my daughter moved back home 3 or 4 years ago, she told me that whenever I'd leave the house, my poodle would lay in front of the door until I came back home, no matter how long I was gone. He'd get lively again when he heard the garage door going up. She'd try to get him to come play with her, but he'd always go back and lay in front of the door. I had no idea he'd do that and he was such a lively dog that the thought of him just laying in front of the door for hours made me sad.

When I had 2 large dogs (one of them the one mentioned above), they had free run of the house when they were home alone. They didn't pee or poop in the house or tear anything up. But of course I couldn't leave them home alone for days either, or my house would've been disgusting when I got back.

[midwestlily]

I've been feeling disappointed with my cat -- I really want a lap cat, and she just refuses to do that.  But this thread has made me realize what a good kitty she is!

[Jaguar]

Cats NEVER do as you want them to do, it's called either contrariness or independence. I wanted a lap cat as well and I got the monkey from Mars.
