My four-year-old cat has several eccentricities, some of which I've mentioned before, but I decided to make a list of them.

1. Loves to be held, but only on the left shoulder. Should I put her on the right shoulder, she switches to the left every time. Has preferred the left shoulder since the first time I picked her up as a 4-mo-old kitten when I put her on my right shoulder and she scared the dickens out of me by switching to my left.
2. Goes into the (dry) bathtub and digs at the back corner every time I go into the bathroom.
3. No matter how clean her litterbox is, if there is any draggable item to put in it within 100 yards, she will try to drag it in there.
4. Should any stranger come into the house, she gladly brings all of her toys to them. Will make it easy for any robber to steal 15 mouse toys, 2 bass guitar strings, one piece of thick black ribbon, and my laser pointer.
5. Runs out the door when I am talking to neighbors regularly, but makes it down no more than 4 steps before losing her nerve and running back through the door every time.
6. When I take for for (rare) walks on the leash, she is fine 5 feet from the building, but howls mercilessly 6 feet or more from the building.
7. Has to sleep right next to my head, draped over a shoulder.
8. Gets mad and yells at me if I try to stay up past 10pm.
9. Once used the open dryer for a litter box when I had just cleaned her regular box (and she watched me clean it).
