My cat—who because I'm a crazy cat person, I believe to be the best cat ever—has decided his new favorite place to chill is a nice soft and comfy laundry basket. Good thing I keep a healthy supply of lint rollers at all times.

My cat just makes me crazy. His name is Meowasaurus and my patience with him has worn thin.

3 weeks ago: Eats tinfoil covered in chicken grease from the garbage. Have to take cat for x ray, luckily he threw up almost all of it and the remainder did not cut a hole in his large intestine

2 weeks ago: Rescued cat from up in tree in nearby public garden. He was 20 feet up there! Found him after hour of looking.

Last night: Called him for 2 hours. Did not come. sleep wake up at 5 am...call and look for him for nearly 2 hours. did not come. Start car to leave house for work:

Cat appears in front of car. I think he was sitting underneath it. I did check there when I was looking for him, but he wasn't there earlier.

From one crazy cat person to another, never get a maine coon. You can not possibly buy enough lint rollers.

Ohh and you have carpet in your house? Prepare for that shit to become shag-o-coon.

But I love my cat and in the end its not her fault, so I just continue to fill grocery bags of swept up hair weekly.

Le sigh.

My cat, Oliver (he was named that by the rescue I got him from and it seemed like a decent enough name that I kept it) is also certainly capable of being annoying.

I don't have most of the problems you described because he's an indoor cat, and he's never taken much of a liking to human food. But...

When I talk on the phone, he tries to get my attention by going behind the tv stand and messing with the wires back there.

He must destroy all cardboard he sees.

When he wants to hang out with me on the couch, instead of just hopping on the couch, he goes to the kitchen and yowls until I get into a staring contest with him. Once he has been stared at for a sufficiently long time, he will then come up on the couch.

When I take a shower, he jumps up on the edge of the tub between the inner and outer shower curtains. Then when I go to get dressed, he has to get up on the bed and meow at me like "WHY WERE YOU HIDING FROM ME IN THERE? AND NOW YOU'RE GOING TO LEAVE?"

He uses the bathroom sink like a bed.

He will jump up to the kitchen counter, then up on top of the refrigerator, then up on top of the kitchen cabinets.

He'll beg and beg and beg for food, even though there's already food in the bowl. He just wants me to mess with the bowl in some way before he eats more.

But I put up with all of this because he's fluffy and likes belly rubs. Cat belly rubs are a powerful thing.

Hahaha, my cat doesn't yowl (thank god) but I can relate. He used to use the bathroom sink as a bed also but now is too large (Meowasaurus is a big fella he's like 16 lbs).

I like to wrestle with him a lot, but I am just sick of trying to find him outside. Honestly I am only letting him out weekend mornings after all this, because we feed him both breakfast and dinner, so if we let him out in the morning he will come in the afternoon for dinner. He isn't free fed. Between 4 and 5pm all he does is beg for food lol.
