    What brat cats! Hard to get mad at them when they are your fur kids! I have a black and white cat too - 14 years old and still a brat. His name is Indy and I have had him since he was a mere 3-week old abandoned by his mama.

    those cats can be darn right sneaky! I call them tuxedo cats also, but I've always had pure black ones (w/little tiny white spot on chest). My old guy who passed a few years ago was obsessed with chewing on anything plastic..the crinklier the better. The youngster (now 14) has a wonderful habit of anytime she expels a hairball she poops about 6 ft away from it. They always come in twos. That one I have not figured out.

    Hobie (the tuxedo, shown here in one of his more, uh, casual poses) does that too! Plastic bags of any sort are his specialty. Nothing is safe.

    Thankfully my bike is out in the garage where the cats can't get to it. My one cat, Smokey has a thing for rubber bands. YOu can not leave one out anywhere or he will find it.

    When Ruthie gets bored/hungry, she randomly roams the house gnawing on things. Anything is fair game. Several parts of my bike have fallen victim, including bar tape, pedals, and tire skewers

    Dang, Hobie does that too. He's a menace, I tell ya.

    Now I've discovered that they have chewed off the crimped caps from all the cable ends. I wonder if the cables will start to fray?

    And...I just purchased one of those "Y" shaped stands for my bike because the cats like to knock my bike over...usually at about 2 a.m. I literally just got home and set the bike up on it. As soon as I'm done, I look down and see the little one, Erin, already chewing on one of the legs of the stand. What the heck is their obsession with my poor bike???!!!

    My brat chews on things worse than a dog. I'm surprised I have any cables left. If she doesn't get service right away when begging for food, she chews ipod cords that my teenagers leave out in the open. If she's rubbing on you and you don't pet her right away, she will bite! I love that cat.
