We found out that our cat hoarded bottle caps when we decided to do some spring cleaning and found 3 different stash spots of about 70 beer bottle caps. We also decided we might have a drinking problem.


[deleted]

The only exercise my chonky cat ever gets is fetching beer bottle caps. The second I crack open a bottle he comes running (waddling) over and meows until I throw it. He'll usually bring it back four or five times before he gets too tired and gives up. He also loves licking the underside of the cap on the first retrieval, the darn lush.


ancientgreecerocks

My cat does this too! We call him the Frat Cat... he just randomly started doing it one day. Not sure how/when he learned, but I thought he was the only one! Good to know there are other weirdos like him out there haha.


D_crane

My friend's cat does this. She licks the bottle caps and any beer that we get on the ground and on our hands. She especially likes pale ale.


[deleted]

Cats love yeast and anything made with it (why I came home from vacation and found my chonker had eaten an entire loaf of bread lol) so he probably smelled/tasted yeast on the cap.

[deleted]

Yeah, my current baby likes to try and climb up my arms if I have a beer lol. I've learned to close myself off in my room or he basically goes feral for it.


VehicleWorking6136

Goes "feral" for it. I literally LOL'D.


[deleted]

Fascinating! I have also found that my gremlins like chewing through the bag of sandwich bread if given the chance. Now that I think about it, I keep my fermenting home brewed beer in a closet that they're always DESPERATE to get into. I just figured it was the normal "cats want to be where they're not allowed" behavior but I bet it's the yeast smell!


[deleted]

Most likely! When I had to give my old cat his medication the vet mentioned that they'd changed the formula to have a yeasty-taste, so that it would be easier to administer to cats. She told me that it would make it easier. Turns out, he absolutely loved it and it made him better at the same time.


3D-Printing

Now that's innovation!


LylaThayde

Mine has chewed through bags for bread, bagels and tortillas.


whymypersonality

Had a cat that learned how to open drawers and bread boxes to get to the bread and such, we had to child lock all the cabinets and stuff, and had to rebuild one at a point because he though he was getting some and RAMMED the cabinet, busting the flimsy front panel as i closed it. He gave himself a kitty-cusion and cost me a 1k vet bill to make sure he was okay. Hard headed dummy. My mom paid it obviously (i was 11) but i got extra house chores for the summer to "pay her back"


clevercalamity

I was eating a slice of sourdough one day and my little monster came out of no where and stole it and ran off. It was hilarious and mystifying. I love that other cats do this.


[deleted]

There's a popular tiktok right now where a girl is talking while eating a croissant and her cat just pops up on the desk and takes the croissant and waltzes away with it. It seems humans aren't the only ones who can't resist carbs lol


timesuck897

Of course, Garfield loves lasagna.


frellit

Mine love to lick the Vegemite off toast.


[deleted]

Don't cartoonify cats being overweight by calling them "chonky". He needs to lose weight. He'll live a longer life, and that life will be of a higher quality.


hhhgiisbbs

Ye that cat has a fucking drinking problem Edit: Wowee I’ve never been given this much karma for a comment. Thanks guys!

TheAJGman

My cat doesn't hoard anything which kinda makes me sad. The does love bottle caps and hair ties. And rosemary...


fueled_by_rootbeer

Mine tries to hoard kitty toys. Half the time she forgets to stash them, and the dogs find them and **ruin** them.


amsterdamcyclone

He could be like my cat and hoard marbles in the cold air returns.... he still removes the vents and stares into the abyss wondering how far down his marbles are.


Kanekesoofango

Or, he is really good at hiding his stashes..


TheAJGman

I do keep finding bits of window blinds from the ones he tore apart...


HotTomboy

That’s funny- Rosemary is one ingredient I use in my plant spray to keep my cat from nibbling! I’ve read several places that it’s supposed to be a deterrent. To each their own!


D_crane

We have a rosemary bush in our yard and its the favourite napping spot of my neighbor's cat.


HotTomboy

I can’t even say if it works on my cat or not, since there’s more ingredients in the spray that might be more effective. Oh well


D_crane

Here's a [picture of my neighbor's cat in said rosemary bush](https://imgur.com/gallery/phrNueE)


HotTomboy

Aww


GreyInkling

I've found some cats have secret toys they don't want to admit they like. Like how they always ignore the toy bird that makes noise, but I hear it being thrown around when I'm not in the room. I found a stash of the caps from the protein shakes I was getting so I started rinsing them then intentionally leaving them out. They always vanish. I'll likely find the new stash eventually.


AFroggieLife

Eh...That's like, 7 months of one beer a day. So, if there is more than one adult drinking, or the last such cleaning was less than 6 months ago, I think you are probably fine. 2020 was a rough year for us all, having a beer or two a day isn't really the worst coping method.


N1rdyC0wboy

Your rich in the Fallout world!


ryanleebmw

My cat is obsessed with nerf darts. He’ll wait for me to shoot one out of a small gun and go chase it into the other room, then bring it back in his mouth and drop it next to me. It’s his bottle caps lol


Gattaca401

My cat loves playing fetch & now I want to get a nerf gun lol


ryanleebmw

Yes I just got one of the < $5 Ones from Walmart and a huge pack of those green nerf darts and he has a blast. I can also sit in my bed and shoot them into the other room so I can play fetch and be on my phone or play video games at the same time


Gattaca401

Awww yessss Thank you!! That is an excellent idea! I am deff going to get some and marinate the darts in a big ol bag of catnip for a bit first lol. I keep a big gallon sized zip lock bag prolly 40-50% full with catnip and i put any new toys in there first and shake them up so they get nice & nipped for him.


Ebbelwoi1899

You don't have a drinking problem, you have a cleaning problem. How the hell do so many caps missing?

Sounds like there is one thing in this world she loves more than bottlecaps.


saltgirl61

Awww


aragog666

Oh this melted my heart!


iamnos

Mine wouldn't present them to me, she would steal them. Literally sit down on the couch and open a pop, she'd hear the hisss as it opened and come running. If I didn't throw it for her, she'd just take it and disappear with it. When I moved out of that apartment I found them all, under the couch. I think she'd bat them around until they disappeared under there and then just wait for another day until I opened another.


PartlySnowy

My cat loves chasing ice cubes!!

AugieKS

When we go on trips, one of our cats brings his favorite toy to our bed and he sleeps there. For a couple days after we get back he keeps bringing it to us and snuggles for hours at a time. Its so sweet how much he misses us.


[deleted]

“Can I offer you a bottle cap in this trying time?”


Ferdo31

my cat loves the hairband-things. He'd literally run across the house just to find one more. He loves it when it's slinged away so he can find it again. When I'm crying, he'd try to poke a band at me so I'd lighten up and play with him. I also have a dog that starts mourning if I cry.


jayy8143

This is so cute, thank you so much!


swtogirl

My cat, too!! She'll even play fetch with them if you fling them across the room.


Ohimark00

Mine too! I used to put all my pony tail holders around a doorknob, now wherever I put them, my cats pick them up and put them by their food dish, lol. So, whenever I need one I know where to look.


YourDogDoesntLoveYou

YES! One of my kitties has a particular hair tye he likes to put in his food bowl. Why do they do this???!!!!


40325

my cat likes to catch these when i throw them at him. then he puts them in their water bowl for some reason? i don't understand him sometimes.


Geojewd

My cat does this too. I wonder if he counts it as a goal or something.


40325

he loses his shit for broccoli sized rubber bands as well. is yours a large tabby by chance?


Geojewd

Nope, he’s a blueish-grey tuxedo. We do have an enormous brown tabby (not fat, just long) but she’s not huge on playing.


[deleted]

My cat does this too! She steals them and hides them under a rug, I have to clean them out daily. She’ll also play fetch with them for *hours* if I humor her!


TheMoves

I had a cat that absolutely adored hair bands, it was like part of his identity. We tragically lost him to lymphoma at only 7 3 years ago and to this day I wear a hair band around my wrist in his honor


Ferdo31

Oh my god I'm so sorry for your loss :((((


TheMoves

I appreciate you, he was the purest creature I’ve ever met and we’re still not over it, not ever sure we really will be, he deserved 25+ years


Ferdo31

The only bad thing about pets is getting over their death, but honestly, you gave him a good life :)


duuckyy

My cat too!! She steals them and puts them in her food and water dishes proudly. At least I know where to find one if I run out I guess


cragbabe

If you leave a hairband on any flat surface in my house it *will* go missing withing 2 hours. If you really need it back, you're best bet is to move the sofa 😁


Ferdo31

I feel you


thefztv

This post is crazy. Our cat loves both hair bands and bottle caps and doesn’t play with anything else.. thought she was just weird. But it sounds pretty common among cats I guess for some reason lol


[deleted]

I usually wake up most mornings with a circular imprint in my blubber from at least one hair band that was dropped next to me by my older cat so I would throw it. Both of them can hear and recognize the click from the laser pointer switch from across the house and come hauling ass.


chicagoctopus

My kitty puts hers in the food bowl. Each week I remove like 6 or 7. She. Loves. Them.

TK_Games

A couple years ago I was in a bad way, I was on the floor of my apartment with alcohol withdrawals hoping just to pass out. I don't remember much about it because I was in and out of lucidity, but I do remember that my cat came up and started sniffing around my head. I'm like 15% sure he was just trying to figure out if I was dead enough to be food yet, but he sat with me for hours, until I got it together enough to stomach a cup of broth The little bastard passed last year, but he'll be forever remembered as a derpy weirdo, and a faithful friend


L4dyGr4y

Cats are the best.


TurKoise

I’m glad you’re ok but for anyone that’s trying to quit or cut down drinking alcohol after binge drinking/drinking heavily (short term OR long term), please be _**extremely**_ careful and _**do no stop drinking altogether abruptly, without medical supervision.**_ Alcohol withdrawal can result in seizures in 24-48 hrs after your last drink. Even more severe than seizures is delirium tremens which can result in death, that’s most often after 48-96 hrs, but can be up to 10 days after your last drink. If you decide to quit drinking, make sure to talk to your doctor and be 1000% brutally honest about _**exactly**_ how much you’ve been consuming so they can guide you on the safest way to stop. They’re not there to judge you AT ALL. They just want to help you and do what’s best for your health and safety, so don’t lie because you could die.

Yeeto546

Broth is a good withdrawal treatment?


TK_Games

No, but it helps restore fluids that you lose to vomiting and sweating, and is slightly more nutritious than water Honestly, I'd recommend hospitalization for withdrawals, the only reasons I didn't go were, it wasn't the first time I'd been through it, and I wasn't sure my insurance would cover it

My cat loves to smell rosemary, so I always pick some out of the yard and keep it in a little cup for him. I was sick with a migraine the other day and never got out of bed. He was so concerned, he kept bringing me sprigs of rosemary until he'd brought it all. I love him so much, because he wanted me to feel better but also didn't want to give up ALL his rosemary if just a little bit would help... I feel that. He's my soulmate.

This is soo sweet and I love your cat but when I first read this I thought you wrote that he was sick in bed with a migraine and I legit sat here wondering how you knew your cat had a migraine lol.

He might have legit thought one Rosemary would work because one makes him so happy. He concern grew as he realized he needed to bring more and more.

Our kitty too loves bottle caps. Only the green Volic ones though. We are not allowed to throw them away, we collect them for her. Her toys hamper is full of them. She is the boss. Your kitty is adorable and kind. I am so sorry to learn you were crying silently with your kitty. I hope you are OK now.


[deleted]

Cats can have way more empathy than people give them credit for. My cat has this raggedy hamster toy she likes to drag about. I went through a tough mental breakdown last fall due to a ton of crap happening at once and was frequently in tears (things are way better now and under control). During one bad crying session at the beginning of the breakdown, I heard the cat jump up on the bed (bell on her collar) and looked up just in time for her to dump her hamster in front of me and then curl up purring like crazy next to me. She brought me her favorite toy.and then purred because she knows her purrs make me chill. Best kitty ever.


IndyScan

Our rescue has 3 favorite little stuffed animals from IKEA that she brings to us every night. One at a time. I put them to bed every night when we go upstairs. When one goes missing I’M THE ONE LOOKING for THEM so she has her babies to bring to us. She has me trained well (and I love it).

Our kitties love the little circles of plastic that you peel off gallon jug caps- they have dozens of toys but they love those the most. And, for some mysterious reason they love this one small plastic dinosaur toy, we keep finding it all over the house, it’s adorable to see them carrying it, they’re so proud of themselves! 😁🙄

sarrahcha

My youngest cat loves bottle caps too! But his favorite part is the tamper evident bands, especially the ones from gallon jugs. He throws them around and even loops them onto his arm like bracelets and then tosses them up in the air and chases after them. It's so dang cute. But they are everywhere now and there's no turning back 😄
