I’ll start. My girlfriend’s cat never purrs or does the “baking biscuits” thing even when he is clearly enjoying the cuddles.

As far as I was concerned, cats puff up their tails in moments of stress/conflict to make themselves look bigger. My cats tail puffs up when I give him the good pets
That’s adorable. Mine will get really excited for food sometimes and get all poofy because of it. If she’s extra happy about it, she’ll even hiss.
What a little weirdo. I love cats
My cat is obsessed with my socks. If a load of clean laundry has been left too long before it gets folded and put away, my socks will be scattered throughout the house.
My 5yo cat can’t sploot. She doesn’t know how to, and she doesn’t want to (when assisted).
Interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cat do that. Usually their back legs are tucked away
All my others cats love it, especially in the summer.
My cat likes to sit in my jackets.
My cat loves to sleep in.
It’s common for people to semi-jokingly complain about their cats waking them for food every day. Mine doesn’t do that.
If it’s the weekend, and I sleep without an alarm, I’ll rouse to my cat having joined me in bed, ready for a couple hours of snoozing as the sun comes up.
He’s usually down to keep chilling in bed for hours and hours past when I usually feed him.
That’s a perfect cat.
He is.
The fun part is that as soon as I do actually get up, he isn’t far behind, and then the meowing by the food bowl begins.
Ahh, there it is. He’s still a cat after all.
There are so many… we’ve had 8 cats together, 4 currently. One of the younger brothers has his mouth open anytime he’s awake. He just walks around like that and he looks stupid, and he is stupid. Dumbest cat I’ve ever had.
We had him x-rayed when we got his nuts cut this year. Every vet says they can’t see anything physiological that would cause this. When he eats he uses his open lower jaw as a shovel then crunches. He sleeps with his mouth closed.
Edit to add- I watched him hunt and eat a camel cricket a couple days ago. He has no problem killing with his jaw, I swear he’s just stupid. The vet I last saw jokingly called him a bit below average.
I had a cat named Leia (my pets all have Star Wars names) and she would never eat normally. She snatched a piece out of the bowl and sometimes even chased it around the kitchen. This is why I could never give her wet food.
Leia does not want her food given to her. She wants to earn it.
Sir Kitty was sensitive to the tone of my voice. If I was arguing with my husband, and especially if I was crying, he would come over, get on my lap if he can, and yell at both of us. (RIP July 2020, age 16) Here he is looking like he’s comatose.
Pez used to use her front paws to hold her tail up so she could groom it. I know it’s not super unusual, but she was the only one of our three who did that. (RIP November 2019, age 17+?) Here she is in the middle of a sneeze.
Murphy likes stinky socks and shoes. (Still kicking at 20+)
Pour one out for Sir Kitty, Knight of the Sofa, Protector of the Treats, Lord of the Snuggles!
Funny you gave him the title of Knight of the Sofa. He had a spot on the back of our couch that is still dented to this day from his constant weight on it.

My snake likes to wrap around and ‘strangle’ watches. Not bracelets, just watches.
Snek is just killing time.
Do you think the ticking feels like a heartbeat to it?
I’d say yes… except he does it to smart and digital watches too.
Our dog does a front leg “handstand” to pee. I assume she peed on her hind legs once and decided keeping feet of the ground is a better plan.
So - both hind legs are in the air, am I reading this correctly? Would love to see that lol
I have seen this. It was a teacup poodle.
Yes, back end floating. Will try to get a video one day
I have a cat that plays fetch.
It sounds cute, and it is - until he’s bringing you q-tips he dug out of the trash to play with.
My cat used to do this too! Now she doesn’t bring stuff back lol.
I had a cat who loved doing that with a ball of paper. It was basically the only toy she cared for. I bought her so much stuff but it was all not interesting.
My cat and I would play catch when he was younger. Then he discovered the outdoors and that was the end of that. He’s content to just come in for a lap sit in the evenings these days.
Every time my cat sneaks to our bedroom trash and grabs a q-tip, he SPRINTS out the room and we both yell “CONTRABAND!!!”
Our cats also play fetch as well! We have these shitty bouncy foam balls we dub “regular ball” that they’ll often bring into the room to have us throw them. We have to keep a bag of treats handy at all times.
We got some of those trash cans that have to foot operated lid and a pretty heavy spring on the lid, they’ve been super helpful keeping our dogs out of the bathroom trash.
One of mine does that too. He only likes sparkle balls or rattle mice tho, so no risk of gross items from the garbage fortunately.
We have a wood floor and his favorite thing is to have me throw it in that room so he can slide halfway across it while fetching the toy.
He has definitely slid into the wall a time or two.
Our tabby also loves to fetch and he prefers the rattle mice too
All three of ours play fetch, but only with specific objects. They’re all brothers about 2½ years old.
The tabby cat plays fetch with fluffy toy balls with feathers on them, the grey cat plays fetch with spare cat collars and the little black cat plays fetch with menthol sweet wrappers.
my cat loves sitting on pillows and even more so on the sheets if the sheets are open. hes hairy and sheds so i dont let him on there but he is quite persistent.
my cat poops before she eats. most cats poop after they eat.
My grandfather’s cat used to play goalie. She would guard some area, like a doorway and expect us to tty to toss a ball or something through. She’d then catch it and return the ball to us for more.
My cat is obsessed with grooming beards. As in…will not stop until you force him off. My partner plays a little game where they fight for kisses. The cat will try to get close and groom his beard and my partner will take advantage of the closeness to smother him in kisses. The cat is not a huge fan of the kisses so they do this thing where they both waver in front of each other like cobras, both trying to find an in to kiss/lick. Sometimes when my partner moves in for a kiss, the cat will lean backwards and turn his face to the side, denying the kiss. Then as soon as my partner backs off, the cat quickly moves forward to lick his beard again. It’s hysterical and I never tire of watching the game.
