Mine has taken to spite shitting when I upset her. Not sure what I do to upset her, sometimes it seems cleaning her litter causes a spite shit. Not cleaning the litter causes it. Feeding her, not feeding her, petting her, not petting her - spite shit!
She also has developed dandruff, the vet says is because of stress and adrenaline rushes - so I have cat hair AND skin flakes to clean up.

Mine pushes things off counters on purpose. I will be doing my makeup in the bathroom, that asshole will sit there, look at me, then push something off. Not in a playing/batting manner - literally push. He also like to do it to my bedside table while I am sleeping.
We used to fill the sink up at night b/c he likes to drink from it - he would pull everything on the bathroom counter into the sink - I love using a wet makeup brush.

She waltzes up to be pet and then purposely stops 3" shy of reach. If you do not lean forward to accomodate her she stares at you with evil intent, like I'll eat your eyeballs while you're sleeping, until you do.
She likes to hang out with H in the morning before he gets up, which is fine and insanely cute. If she's not being an asshole, she leaves the bedroom when he gets up (we keep the door closed all day so the dog doesn't get on our bed or spend his day licking the carpet and/or our dirty laundry. Dogs are disgusting, by the way), if she IS being an asshole, she runs under the bed and won't come out until H spends 10 minutes trying to drag her out or unless we bribe her with treats. It's her way of making us late.
Oh, Fatty also spills water EVERYWHERE. Instead of lapping water, he insists on dipping his paw in it and then licking his paw. But he's so lazy that he often does this while lying down. The result is water all over the floor.
My fat cat gave me a massive scratch on my arm the other night. I can vaguely remember waking up and trying to toss her off of the bed because she was taking up too much room and making me sleep in an awkward position. LOL. She was having NONE of it and tried to hold on for dear life. I need to trim her claws.
She bites me when I talk on the telephone. Feet, hands, whatever she can get to and it's not that she wanted anything to do with me earlier, but all attention must ONLY be paid to her.
Pretty much the only time she wants to be held is at 3am. She will meow and whine until I hold her. The cat witching hour.
She hates everyone, hisses, growls, and acts like a loon when anyone comes to see us. This continues for a minimum of 36 hours.
When I am sitting at the desk doing anything, she paws at my butt until I reach down and pet her. And then after a few moments of petting, she bites me.
There are a million other things, those were just today.
ETA...when her cat cereal gets low in her dish (yes we are horrible free feeders...it is unbearable any other way) but if the feeder is low, she will go all out and eat crazy amounts of food until she pukes. Kitty bulemia.
Bootsy: *gets all up in my face and constantly wants to be pet *tries to pet me. He isn't declawed *stands in front of the tv so I can't see it *waits at the bathroom door to rush in and get in the shower so he can play in the water
Rascal *steals my spot when I get up and then looks at me and meows when I tell him to move *steals food out of your hand
Callie *meows like she is in heat at night
Toby *claws at the carpet any time a door is shut because he wants in *jumps up on the tv stand and rubs against the tv, threatening to push it over and then looks at me like I am stupid when I yell at him to get down
And all of them stalk the litter boxes and wait for me to clean them so they can use them.
Noah used to wake me up every morning by swatting me in the face. His favorite thing to do is kneed his paws right on my boobs when I'm sitting down. He sharpens his claws on our old scratching post and does not know how to retract them so every time I come into contact with them I get scratched.
TK loves to make noise! He will find anything that crinkles and play with it at all hours of the morning. He also puts strange items in the water bowl. He rips paper. Our apartment looks like we threw confetti everywhere on a regular basis. He steals toilet paper.
They both demand to be allowed into the bathroom when we're in there. They also fight each other all the time. AND they don't believe in sleeping late.
Our boy cat really likes the lotion I use on my legs in the summer and bites my calves repeatedly while I'm getting ready in the morning.
Our girl cat wakes us up at 4:45, 15 minutes before the alarm goes off, by screeching, walking on our faces, and combing my hair with her claws. She's also taken to crapping on the floor next to her litter box the very moment I get home from work and sit down on the couch.
He's not an asshole to us, but he's an asshole to his sister. If she's eating out of a dish, he pushes her out of the way even though there's another perfectly full bowl next to it. Even if he just ate and she's just come in for a snack.
at bedtime, she usually fixes up her spot first (a laundry basket with a blanket in it). As soon as she lies down he attacks her. Then takes her spot.
If we're snuggling her, he jumps up and tries to lay on top of her so he can get all the love. Then once she gets pissed off and leaves, he follows her.
At the end of the day though, she can totally whoop his butt in a cat fight. They're such typical siblings.
- Snuggles up to you and bites you after you have start petting her - Pulls the dogs tail - Knocks papers on the floor - Eats plants and promptly throws - Teases the dog when he is in the kennel by walking on top of it - Makes the dog move chairs even if she doesn't want to sit where he is sitting

must witness all uses of the toilet
has been waking us up at 4 am for the past several weeks, demanding to be nuzzled and not settling down to sleep on the bed, just mountain climbing over us and the pillows.
claimed a spot on the couch and if I sit in it she stares at me until I move.

Sometimes Gene presses his paw on my nose and mouth when I'm sleeping. He'll hook a claw into my nostril and dare me to move, also while I'm sleeping. He needs to be all over me, in my lap, any and every time I am going to the bathroom. He cannot resist toilet paper and has clawed me in the vag a couple of times. He attacks Jonny when he is dozing happily on the mat in the sun, Jonny runs away and hides, and then asshole Gene doesn't even lay on the mat. He insists on being fed on the dining room table. He is an exuberant burier of poop, and throws litter everywhere. I still love him.
Jonny doesn't do much assholey stuff except bite unexpectedly. He used to always walk in his turds when burying but for some reason he just stopped burying them at all so no more turd paws, yay!

I am my cat's favorite thing to chase. He runs up behind me and wraps his front legs around my leg. Sometimes he bites my calf to. He rarely does this to H, but I am usually subject to it 3-5 times a day.
He barges in on H or I while we are going to the bathroom.
He meows like it is the end of the world if we shut him out of the room we are in.
He sits my my head and meows in my ear at 5 am because he's hungry.
He decides he must take a nap on my lap anytime my laptop is occupying my lap.

Gidget: - smacks me in the face, claws extended, if I don't get up the minute my alarm goes off or if its on the weekend - pushes me to the edge of the bed or into H so she can take up maximum bed space - hisses at Itty - gives you the evil eye if she isn't fed according the schedule - sticks her claw in my leg/ass if I'm on the computer chair and she wants attention
Itty: (the one in my sig) - knocks everything off any surface. - dips her entire chin in the water when drinking, then shakes off, spraying water everywhere. - runs headfirst into your legs trying to make you fall, then gets pissed when you almost trip over her. - hides under the bed when she needs to be brushed or have her face cleaned - cries/mews/squeaks like we're killing her when we brush her stomach.

My fat cat Penny is the real asshole. She is another kitty bulimic, has to be in the bathroom whenever anyone else is in there, scratches you when you try to pet her, and she sits on my chest and stares at me when I sleep.
Rupert, the one in my avatar is surprisingly not an asshole. Not to us anyway, he drives Penny crazy though.
I have six cats, so telling you all about their asshole ways would require a whole book, so I'll tell you about Bitchcat. Bitch is not supposed to be my cat, but she's my cat now. I didn't have the heart to put her in a shelter after I rescued her because she's such a bitch no one would adopt her. Her hobbies:
snatching dirty underwear and running through the house with them
unrolling whole rolls of toilet paper and sleeping on them
opening drawers, removing a few clothing articles, and making a bed
waking me up at all hours of the night by trying to find my toes under the blanket with her claws
meowing constantly when she can see the bottom of the food bowl
gnawing on me when I try to sleep, to the point where I have to cover up every part of my body and tuck the blankets under me to get her to go away
stealing food....from other cats..and humans..whatever's available
Mine's only slightly asshole-ish. He pukes up hairballs all the freaking time and has recently decided that our kitchen table is his new stomping grounds. Gross.
Sally -Eats too fast and pukes. -Always acts like she's starving. -She likes to wake us up around 5am for food. -I spent ~$200 on an auto feeder she can't break into because of her antics. -When she wants to wake us up, she scratches something under the bed (we still don't know what she's scratching because she bolts) or messes with the drawer pulls. -She runs to the landing upstairs and mews at us, as if she's in incredible pain. If you go near the steps, she either runs upstairs to mew some more or runs down the stairs past you for her tunnel. -She often does this same scream after she poops. We call it the poo alarm. -She is just a mean bitch to Mittens. -She can run Mittens off by merely entering a room. -Makes the nastiest poops, and usually doesn't cover them up. -She has claimed both spare beds upstairs as her own.
Mittens -She's a nibbler, so she has to be free-fed on the counter. (she's skinny and doesn't eat much, luckily) -She only wants to be petted in certain locations, all of which are inconvenient. -Her favorite spot is the bathroom rug. If you are too busy to pet her, she meows until you do. -She loves to bat her toys under furniture. -She won't let you come near her, unless she's in one of her petting spots. -She meows to complain when you pick her up, purring all the while. -She rarely cuddles on laps or recliners, but somehow sleeps on me most nights. She's either on my ass, my back, or between my legs in the crook of my knee. WTF can't she be sweet when I'm awake?
What in the hell is the attraction for cats of people on the toilet?
I wish I knew. Fatty just LOVES to be petted while I'm on the toilet. He rolls around on his back and just loves it when I rub his belly with my foot. While I'm peeing. SO WEIRD.
They both pick at the corners of the couches. Usually it's when we've gone upstairs for the night, because they know we can't rush down and shoo them away in time. We now have throw blankets over each couch corner and it looks so trashy (and they STILL manage to find uncovered spots to pick).
The big one is moody and growls sometimes, especially when the little one comes near him. Our friends were visiting and he took a swipe at one girl's leg because he didn't like that she was wearing a long skirt. If he's hungry he won't shut the fuck up until you feed him. He's not a nasty cat but he's so unpredictable, so it can be embarrassing when we have visitors and he's in a pissy mood.
They both shed, but the little one is RIDICULOUS. She rolls all over our comforter and sheets, and she's pure black so the fur is really noticeable. She's a cuddler but she runs away if you try to pick her up ... she has to come to you on her own terms. She eats like a fucking horse ... when the big one was a solo cat we'd feed him twice a day and he'd graze throughout the day. Then we got the little one and she eats everything in sight immediately, so for a few weeks the big one would be constantly crying for more food because she ate his. She never sits still unless she's asleep, which sucks when she's dancing around the bed at 2 a.m.
And speaking of assholes, she's got the biggest asshole I've ever seen on a cat. Which is especially pleasant when I wake up with it directly in my face every morning. And she farts a LOT, and it smells horrific.
