The "weird behavior's" of cats is one of the things that makes them so awesome and loveable

[seasonofthewitch]

After having cats for years these don't seem so strange anymore. LOL ... My cats have pretty much done all of them but rarely seen blepping, but it sure is cute! Thank You...

Thanks for the FYI 😻👍

Very interesting, my cat has done all of those except #9, the "blepping", and i consider those as normal cat behavior. Now, earlier today, he was being a "clingy cat", which he doesnt do very often, but i just took it in stride.

[DonnaLangrockglobally]

Before finding the term "Zoomies", my family's term for that was "kitty rips"; since our dogs often ran around randomly as well, this became known similarly as "puppy rips". I've come to prefer the term "Zoomies" since it's all encompassing.

[rrommens]

The last one is not specifically about rubbing their scent on your thing, but more about using the heat of those places. When you just sat on your chair, for example, and get up your cat often immediately takes your place. Or sitting on your laptop keyboard, it just gives off heat. Cats love heatsources to snuggle up to, because it saves energy and it makes them feel comfortable and safe.

[cattitude]

Oh, I love it when they get the zoomies!!!! It's so hilarious to watch! The other favorites of my cats are, they LOVE drinking out of fountains, I guess because I have several fountains around my house, I've never seen any of them try to drink out of the faucet. And I once had one cat that would just refuse to cover up his poop!! Luckily the next cat that would go in the box would cover it up for him!! lol. Boxes are always a favorite thing around here and yes a lot of these guys will absolutely STUFF themselves in to the tiniest boxes, I sometimes think they will actually get stuck in there!!! lol. This was a really fun video to watch! The weirdest behavior might be when they really don't realize that their tongue is still sticking out!!!😛😺

[ThePurringJournal]

Which of these cat behaviors do you think is the weirdest? And does your cat do any of these behaviors regularly? 😺

[joannemazurek]

I've never had an issue or thought about my cats Zoomies.
IMHO: Kneading is just their way of making a nice comfy bed.
None of these cat behaviors have made me scratch my head and ask why.

[MaryManion]

I'm going to get that water fountain, very cool. Nice video. 😊

[leliad]

Thanks for explaining the blepping. My cat used to do that frequently and I have many adorable pictures of her cute tongue sticking out. However, I haven’t seen her do it in seven months. Now I know that it is because her sister died seven months ago and her scent has faded in the house. I had wondered about this and thank you for the explanation.

[ameliawarfield]

My cat Tiger-J does all of the strange behaviors. Very rarely does he stick out his tongue. He does have an open mouth at times after smelling something.

[sugarspiceneverythingnice]

I guess I have a very well behaved kitty. He doesn't knock anything over & never leaves presents. The worst thing he does is tap me & cry in my face when he's bored & I'm sleeping- which usually means he's ready for breakfast. I love when he gets the zoomies ❤️
His comfy little sleep space is in the top corner of the heated bed with his booty touching me. He has to be touching me at all times when I'm home- which is pretty much all of the time due to health reasons. Adding that he always gives me his belly for scratches & kisses. I honestly think I have the sweetest kitty in the world

[JohnHausser]

1:18 I don’t let my cat going outside for this reason (well also because I don’t want my cat to get parasites) lol

[natashapowell]

My new little girl, Love Bug, loves to kneed me. She lays on my chest and kneeds my neck while she rubs her cold, wet nose all over my face.

[Tekdruid]

The cat we had when I was a kid used to push down things like flower pots as a signal he wanted to go outdoors.
Trixie, the younger of my two cats, clearly has a thing for marking me as "*My* human, do not steal!" by laying on top of and kneading on my "out of house" clothes whenever she sees I'm about to get dressed up and go somewhere.

[oldfogey]

I didn't know why cats knocked stuff off shelves makes perfect sense as explained here!

[edwardturner]

This explains so much cat behavior that we were ignorant of. Thanks a lot.

[ZachKingslayer]

I love that "making biscuits" 🤣🤣😍
