Cats

[BigEd]

My cat pita, is siting on top of my chair trying to push me off, because she likes sit in the computer chair.

what crazy and stubborn habits do your cats have?

 

[Susan]

Jumping on me and scratching me when they are chasing each other. I have a nice scratch on my foot from that. . .
Lying on the dinner table and/or jumping there to get food
Chewing on cords and wires
Much more but those are the worst.

BTW I have 3 indoor 6 month old cats: a spotted orange/white male tabby, a female tortoiseshell calico, and a female Siamese mix.

I have 5 kittens also (which we are looking to give away! Take one! PLEASE!)

My cat likes to drink out of a cup.
Her cute habit is standing on her hind legs, stretching up to almost my waist to get me to pick her up. When I pick her up, she lays against my left shoulder, rubs her head against my cheek and purrs.

Elvis is a cuddly little guy, who purrs louder than any motorboat I've ever heard... Priscilla is just cranky, but she can jump really high! I love my cats!

Susan, I have my limit of 2 cats right now, but otherwise I would love love love to take one of you kittens off your hands!


Anyway...
I have one cat who is the shyest thing I've ever seen. However occasionallly she gets in a really snuggly mood. Then she gets really annoying! Kneading with her claws, sticking a cold wet nose all over your body, DROOLING saliva all over the place. It's nice to feel so loved, but man...DROOL? I can't stand pet spit.

LOL sounds like my Hazel. (the tortoiseshell calico)

I have two cats, a black calico and a orange tabby. The black one, Samakha, is incredibly smart. She learned how to work the latch on the front door, which I realized after several days of wondering how the front door kept getting open.

She doesn't like to eat out of the bowl, however, so she will scoop out food with her paw and fling it across the floor, then pounce on it and eat it. It's adorable.

Also, she loves to be petted, but she doesn't like Colin (my other cat) to see it. If I am holding her and he wanders into the room, she will jump down and whack him with her paw.

Oh, I like this thread!

I've got a two-year-old orange tabby, and he's the sweatest thing. He loves talking, if you ask him a question he'll always answer it with a "meow" - and he'll keep doing it while you keep talking to him!  It's sooooo funny to watch my husband come from work and start one of their long conversations.

We've never had any problems with the cat getting on the table, stealing food or ruining furniture, even though he's not declawed. Very smart and well-behaved boy.

Not to be disruptive but I prefer dogs. I like cats ok but I like dogs better.

To a dog you're the master.
To a cat you're staff.

 

[psycmajor]

When my cat Penny purrs, she gurgles!

 

[IslandBreeze]

LOL @ Knight! "To a cat you're staff..." That's the funniest thing I've heard all day!

 

[EspressoDuck]

My cat Bubba likes to have her tummy rubbed. A lot of cats I know don't like that. Oh yeah, and she loves my dog, Hoagie. Just as long as he listens and doesn't get in the way, she gets along just fine with him. It's cute, because they sleep in the same bed!

Let's see, my cat's ONLY habbit, is trying to kill me. Last night, I was walkin to the door, and she jumped in front of me and scares the crud out me. I swaer she was PURPOSELY trying to give me a heart attack.

Our family is owned by four cats. They are "inside" cats. We also have two incredibly stupid dogs, who are "outside" dogs.

We started out with two littermates: a solid grey male, we named him "Silver," and his sister is a grey-striped tabby, named "Crystal."

Silver went to Kitty-Heaven, and we adopted a stray black kitten, who acquired the name "Onyx."

Neither of these cats would play like cats are supposed to. They would walk right by cat toys, and turn up their noses at paper bags. I felt we needed another cat, one who would do "catly things."

The next adoptee was a flame-point Siamese kitten my kids gave me for Valentine's Day. He's got gorgeous blue eyes, so I named him "Zircon." He bites. A LOT. We all have scars. At 4 AM, he is very affectionate, wants to be petted, offers kisses, and purrs up a storm, but at 4:35, he starts biting again. Go figure.

To his credit, Zircon acts like a cat is supposed to. He will "kill" cat toys, he rolls in catnip and gets silly, and he loves any kind of bag, paper or plastic. Often, we stop watching TV and just enjoy Zircon.

But don't try to pick him up and cuddle him after an entertaining session. He'll BITE.

My daughter encountered a litter of kittens abandoned by the side of a busy road. One cat was already seriously injured, and he had to be put down. The second was an orange and white tabby with gorgeous golden eyes, and extra toes on his front paws. He's even MORE feisty than Zircon, and enjoys tormenting all the other cats in the house. And even though he's been in this family for over a year now, he still can't get over the fact that there's FOOD here. He outeats every other cat, and probably weighs more than the other three put together.

His name? Toe-Paz.


Can you tell I love cats?


Peace,

I can tell you love cats, and that you also love gemstones! That's very cool how you've named them all the way you did. I wanted to have cats named for herbs and spices. We already had a Ginger, and the next was going to be Parsley or Rosemary or Sage or some such name. But Ginger turned out to be a boy and he became Henry.

My cat (which I dont have any longer), used to sit in the tub and swat at the drips for hours, fascinated beyond all reason with the "suddenly apearing in thin air" water droplets

When I was 15, I used to have this orange tabby cat named Garfield who was absolutely insane. We kept him inside and kept a flea collar on him. He hated the thing and always tried to pull it off with his paw. One time when he was trying to do this, he got his paw stuck in the collar and couldn't get loose. He started going crazy, flopping all over the house and looked like his paw was stuck to his head. When my mom picked him up to try and free him, he started going wilder and tried biting and scratching her.

I love cats, just cause they seem to have more personality than dogs do sometimes.
