Our cat is an expert at acoustics. He can find all the purrfect spots to amplify his late night vocal experiments. I thought we were clear when we were able to keep him away from the vents, but he quickly learned where to stand in the laundry room to echo off the machines. We have surrendered to his musical genius.
One of my four cats experiments with performance art. She enjoys opening pantry doors and leaping as high as she can to dig her claws into the aprons hanging on the back of the door and then swinging to and fro. She will writhe around to keep it going as long as possible. She also follows my husband into the kitchen and leaps from the floor to his shoulder, skillfully balancing there whilst he goes about making coffee in the morning, sometimes circling round from behind his head to his chest, gracefully rubbing her rear end on his cheek as she returns to his shoulder. It looks very much like when cats weave and rub your legs, but more difficult because she’s on a moving human. She also fancies herself an interior decorator and will open our sock drawers and dig to rearrange them or fling everything on the floor if she feels I need to start from scratch. She does the same with the drawers in the kitchen. She knocks a lot of things off shelves and furniture as well. My other 3 cats are regurgitated kibble and/or hairball hobbyists.

I may have a winner in performance art kitties…although only one seems to excel based solely on style.
Maybe you can guess the special type of art she creates. I have 3 Siberian cats (very long hair on each). One has occasional digestive issues and lacks the self awareness of how long her tail is while she’s in her box doing her business.
Long tail + long hair + wet poop = a lovely, fun game of ‘follow the trail of the beautiful, impressionist art I’ve left you on the wall. And on the lower cabinets. And on the corners of doors/doorways, etc…’
Sometimes I think she enjoys it. Perhaps it makes her feel creative. Maybe she thinks we could sell her work for millions, because that long fur makes quite the paint brush.
So. Much. Regurgitated. Kibble.
@yakkoTDI Never feed your cat anything which clashes with the carpet.
@ciabelle This also applies to human teenagers the first time they get drunk.

@simplersimon your cat is amazing.
