This is my first tuxedo cat and she makes the clucking noise when she is stalking prey. The weird part is when a spider or fly gets above her reach, she howls until I get the broom and knock it back within her range. She will even follow me until I help.
The weirdest thing she does is slide around the floor on towels when I play with her with a red lazer dot. I lay down towels and she races (even if she gets ahead)after the dot and at the last minute turns around and slides on the towel facing backwards!
She is also the first feral cat I have had and I wonder if that is why she always rolls in the dirt when we go for walks. She's on Frontline and completely tame now, she even shares an evening yogurt with me;same spoon too.
Can someone tell me why she has this need to be dirty? We just moved up to the mountains.

My Tuxedo cat by: Anonymous
I truly believe tuxedo cats are weird! Mine will also just sit and stare, as in a trance, sometimes staring at a wall, sometimes at nothing at all. She loves to play with small mice.
She will toss it around for 10-15 minutes, sometimes hitting it back to me like volleyball, and she also loves to carry a string around. Like you said, she also loves to have things wrapped around her.
We have had many cats, but this tuxedo cat has more strange behaviors then any other types. However, she is also the most affectionate and I wouldn't trade her for anything.

not that weird for Tuxedo by: Anonymous
your cat really isn't that weird. lot's of cats will play fetch with rubber bands and such. and I've had at least four or five different cats who would "chirp" at birds and bugs while stalking them.
It's also not that uncommon for cats to want to splash around in the water. as long as they don't get their tummies wet, that is. the only odd thing about your cat is the spacing-out thing. that's one I have not seen before.
I have had a lot of cats (i guess you could call me a "crazy cat lady") and I have never seen a cat chew on his own tongue.
