Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2006Possessed cats.
Do any of your cats become possessed by evil during rain? Five of mine (thank God cougar is quivering in fear under the couch) seem to have become evil incarnate. Dilated pupils, looking at everyone as if we are all a potential meal (frightening even from a kitten), using meowmie as a springboard, deliberately trying to break stuff, arrrgggghh!!! The exorcist is nothing on this lot!! I don't know if it's the same thing, but Nina has been abducting my dish sponge lately and leaving it in very weird places. Melissa >I don't know if it's the same thing, but Nina has been abducting my > dish sponge lately and leaving it in very weird places. > > Melissa Lol!! mine have weird obsessions with plastic bags. Mango goes nuts when I bring the shopping in; he doesn't know which bag to lick first! Oh lord, I have to hide plastic bags from Nina, too! It's so bizarre--she LOVES them. I have to put them away immediately or she's all over them. Melissa > Oh lord, I have to hide plastic bags from Nina, too! It's so > bizarre--she LOVES them.

We're having a big cardboard box craze at the moment too. > > Oh lord, I have to hide plastic bags from Nina, too! It's so > > bizarre--she LOVES them.

I think it's the rustle of the plastic bags that drives them crazy. My hubby always leaves the bags on the floor when we come home from shopping and I hear, rustle, rustle. I run up, and take the bag away. The kids look so forlorn! I try to explain that they can suffocate in the bags, but I don't think they "get" it. kili >> > Oh lord, I have to hide plastic bags from Nina, too! It's so >> > bizarre--she LOVES them.

But I let them play with it supervised, then substitute with a box or paper bag. > I think it's the rustle of the plastic bags that drives them crazy.

A few use a harder kind that crinkles and rustles in a way that Betsy finds irresistable. She licks them, rubs her face against them, and rolls on them. I am very careful with these bags now since some years ago, she managed to get her head stuck in the handle hole and panicked trying to get it out again. I couldn't even pull it loose once I caught her; I had to use a pair of scissors and very carefully cut the loop. Mandy is completely indifferent to plastic bags of any kind.

Yep we have the 'crunchy' kind! And I do get worried about choking/smothering, so all my bags are tied in knots inside a 'bag' bag!!

The > exorcist is nothing on this lot!! It rains so much here in Britain that I suppose my cats are used to it. It rained all day Tuesday, most of Wednesday, some of yesterday and some of today. The only difference I notice in their behaviour is that they don't want to go out so much, preferring to snuggle up in front of the fire or on the spare bed. Not very good advice to offer to an Australian, I know! I guess if your cats don't see rain too often it could be scary, especially if it's heavy and they can hear it drumming on the house. If they have dilated pupils during the day, they are scared. Tweed >> Do any of your cats become possessed by evil during rain?

Chasing each other all over the house, even cranky old Jasmine was in on the fun! Cougar gets worried when they do that, so she hid, but the rest of them went ballistic! It's probably warmer here when it rains than where you are, it gets very humid and muggy. Maybe it's the humidity.
