Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / October 2005Smoke Likes Her Stone
Our kitten, Smoke, has a few odd quirks, as I'm sure most kittens and cats do. However, this one is truly weird. We have a flat stone, which we picked up on the shore of Lake Ontario. Smoke goes over to the stone and either rests her front paws on it, sits on it as though she's trying to hatch it, or just cozies up next to it. She will race into the room and go right for the stone. A touchstone? Who knows? Does anyone have any insight into this weird behavior, or have stories of similar weirdness? > Our kitten, Smoke, has a few odd quirks, as I'm sure most kittens and > cats do.

I saw something similar to this in 2001 A Space Odyssey. : > D Ramboyd ====== "My Ottawa Includes Corruption" On Thu 13 Oct 2005 09:03:27p, wrote in rec.pets.cats.health+behav (news:1129251807.416789.152240@g47g2000cwa.googlegroups.com): > Our kitten, Smoke, has a few odd quirks, as I'm sure most > kittens and cats do.

My Bonnie (former feral) lays on the AC adapter of my laptop power cord. I've always noticed that it's as if she's trying to hatch it. One of my newest pair (Scarlett) is obsessed with water, and whenever I either dump the water from the dehumidifier reservoir, or dump and refill the water dish downstairs, she's right there to watch the water go down the drain. Related to this odd behavior is that every morning she knows I'll be doing this ritual, so she sits on the washing machine, in the dark, waiting for me. The look on her face as she stretches her face toward me when I reach in the room to turn on the light always makes me laugh.  SignatureCheryl It's called the philosopher's stone. You're very lucky that your cat is into alchemy. > Our kitten, Smoke, has a few odd quirks, as I'm sure most kittens and > cats do. However, this one is truly weird.

We would joke that she's going to get up and we'll see a bunch of change purses :) -Kelly >> Our kitten, Smoke, has a few odd quirks, as I'm sure most kittens and >> cats do.

No. But that is pretty damned cute. > Our kitten, Smoke, has a few odd quirks, as I'm sure most kittens and > cats do. However, this one is truly weird.

The first and most obvious question that comes to mind is... How did your kat get the neme 'Smoke'? This might be the root of her issues, depending on your answer. IBen When my wife and I went to the pet store, there was a litter of kittens, all but one gray. We had just had to put down one of our older cats, and were feeling pretty miserable. Thus, the need for a new cat. We picked up and held a few, and finally I picked us this kitten that had the same look on her face as our recently deceased cat had when my wife brought him outside to look around for the last time. That look sealed the deal. She is all gray, except for a little bit of white on her tummy. When I picked her up for the first time, I exclaimed to my wife, "She's a little puff of smoke". Hence, her name. > Our kitten, Smoke, has a few odd quirks, as I'm sure most kittens and > cats do. However, this one is truly weird.

Cleo Carrington Smith does this with any object that is a similar size to herself. She also has an affinity for TV remotes and will sit on top of them - makes it tricky if we can't find one. rachel |
