I subscribe to satiracal news letter, where ou see life through the cats point of view, he's good mates with Larry the cat at number 10.
Tom is in strife with his human at the moment and has come up with some tips to annoy him as follows.
So here are some cat methods we use to really mess with our two legged servants.
Pharmacists love me for this one - it results in your human buying copious quantities of tranquilizers and sleeping pills - our druggist always has a bag of kitty treats for me.
Wake with a start while curled up with your human watching TV. Then you stare into the air, as if you’ve heard a noise. This is best at night when the house in quiet and not a sound can be heard. Drives them crazy as they wander around the house looking for whatever.
Allow them to settle back into watching the movie and repeat - at this point you should hiss and growl as you stare at nothing. Really scares the **** out of them. Optional - change the channel as they explore the house.
Sleep with your eyes open. Unnerves them to no end.
Figure out how to open fridge, browse and take things out and drop it on the kitchen floor. After this gets old, and it will, try putting things in the fridge e.g. dead mouse, dirty sock/underwear from the laundry.
Bring a child’s toy home. They will panic over to which neighbor they have to return the toy, and explain. BTW - no one will believe the explanation.
5 . This one is a time honored cat tradition - proudly bring home a live rodent and drop it at their feet with a proud, smug look of satisfaction on your face.
Yowl to be let out at 3AM - owner wakes, gets out of bed and opens door for you to let you outside. Then you take a half step outside, only half a step mind you, otherwise you run the risk of having the door shut behind you leaving you outside.
While you’re half out, you sniff the air, turn around and scoot back to your human’s bed and curl up on the warm spot. Repeat just after your human falls back to sleep. Don’t worry, they eventually learn but you’ll get thrown out of the bedroom and the door will be closed.
You can try yowling and scratching at the door - but I find this usually hisses them off and if you haven’t been fixed you run the risk of a trip to the vets to be neutered.
Pick up their car/house/office keys and bury them outside - or if you are an indoor cat - play with them until they disappear under the fridge.
