I have had my first experience with a verified hell cat.
Having saved at least twenty ferals and kept more than enough cats in my circles, I am awake at 4:30AM babysitting a cat who ate a royal fuckton of litter for the sake of eating litter.
We’ve done the health problems check. No chance of that being the issue.
Same cat will attack shoes if and only if you haven’t worn them for a couple hours, aren’t paying attention, and are within five feet of the resulting racket. Knocks over cups with water in them, and never empty ones or non-liquid holding containers. Tears the weather proofing out of the windows. Will keep you awake (to the point of claws and teeth) until you give up on sleep, then curl up in a chair nearby and go to sleep himself once you caffeinate.
I’ve had literally two dozen cats, minimum, and interacted with hundreds more, and this is the worst behaved one I’ve ever met.
And for me, the kicker is... Has a thousand toys and between 3 and 6 people AND another cat in the house who play with him all day long.
There is no call for this behavior! But he can’t seem to function without actively trying to fuck with people. And he’s definitely fucking with people: he never does damage when no ones around, and he will actively walk away from positive attention to knock over a water cup on someone’s desk, get everyone screaming, then dash through the door into another room and start grooming himself like what, huh? Wasn’t me! Been here the whole time!
I can say one positive thing. When he is informed that something IS A CABLE AND NOT FOOD he gets it and leaves it alone. I respect that.
I do not respect that instead, if he really wants to fuck with electronics, he’ll knock water into them. Rat bastard.
