My cats will just notice anything new in the house, and look through it to see if there's any food in it. We had to put the garbage in a cabinet with magnetized door clasps so they couldn't go through that. They'll eat plants we bring in the house, and then you'll see little grassy looking vomit patches later on in the day. If there's a package, no matter how well sealed it is, most of the time if you leave it alone and come back in a few hours the package will be chewed through...
Shit, one of my cats will eat earplugs or rubber bands so I have to hide all those. You can't leave rubber bands from flyers in the mail around. She ate one once and then had to be operated on because it was blocking her intestines. Earplugs are mighty tasty I guess :P
Oh man, I forgot about this, one thing I heard was that if you give tuna to cats enough, they will start refusing to eat anything else because they will be so addicted to it. It's like crack for cats I guess. I never really knew that, nor that chocolate was poisonous to most animals... I think I may have fed my previous cat a bit of chocolate ice cream one time :P

That's pretty funny, I wonder if he just wants to play. One of my cats, if you try and touch him in the hind leg on the side (I guess at the hip), he will try to bite you. When he was young one of my family members would try and piss him off by tapping him there and aggravating him until he would spin around and try to bite them. So you could be petting him and then all of a sudden he will go nuts, if you go near that spot.

Heheh. Unfortunately I heard outdoor cats (don't know what yours is) will be less likely to show signs of being sick because outdoor cats don't want to show their weaknesses. Even then, one of my cats (which stays indoors) showed sickness by seeming lazy and wanting to just lie down most of the time. He even ate most of his food... But he needed antibiotics in the end. Poor guy, runt of the litter.

Haw!! One of my cats is tall enough to reach doorknobs and knows how they work, he just can't turn them. He'll start jiggling the doorknobs and that's how you know he's there. It's pretty fucking scary sometimes when you don't expect it! Luckily we don't have the kind of doorknobs that are like a handle. I bet he could just let himself in and out of every room that way.

Heheh

Man I got a cat that will just run away and hide behind the dryer until anyone leaves that's not part of the family... And another one that will try and molest strangers practically

Heheh :)
Man I never heard of people before that like cats, everyone I know practically hates them outside my house. It's nice to see since I never knew so many cats had happy homes.
