Cat Manners

[sirrahbed]

Cats should NEVER be allowed on counters - especially in the kitchen - so unsanitary!

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid89/p517f5e7fc893aed46be6f08b00d99cd0/fa870f6c.jpg

Not on tables, either!

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid89/pfa1c3dbeff150ffd1387bd307fc6ed52/fa870f65.jpg

If you allow them on tables, they will try to interrupt your meals - even by HIDING behind objects!
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid89/pd1d02540c36ff2ebc9b7a7148c4f1650/fa870f64.jpg

and NEVER near the sink - YUCK!

I am glad MY cats have good manners and do not do any of these things!!:rolleyes: :eek: :o :D :D

[neko1]

Great pictures! My kitties also have those manners, but they never let me take photographic evidence of it:o ;)

[catnapper]

Oh no, my kitties would never ever do any of these things either! Especially when its dinner time!

Pouncer wouldn't ever DREAM of begging - you didn't mention begging!;)

[Randi]

Great pics! Showing the life every indoor cat should have! :D

Oh dear, I remember when we first got Fister up. :o I said: He's NOT coming on the tables or in bed!! :rolleyes:

[Tonya]

Oh, yeah. My cat's have the bestest manners. They never go any place like that!

[sirrahbed]

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid89/p2fff04b1f435fb9ac49fd3c913998915/fa7d0d02.jpg
TRULY SHOCKING!! NEVER ON PT!!

[Kirsten]

What a great series of photos! LOL of course my cats NEVER do anything like that *coughcough* LOL

But look here:

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid89/p2fff04b1f435fb9ac49fd3c913998915/fa7d0d02.jpg

This table looks like it has been made for cats to sit on it, it's perfectly fitting! Great photo! :)

[Edwina's Secretary]

No well-mannered cat would ever get in your drawers!

[jenluckenbach]

Please multiply those 2 (Emily and Elliot) by 7 and you have MY cats with those exact same manners!!:D And I HAVE the proof ;)

[CatDad]

Cat on Tables, Counters, in the Sinks, ON THE BED!!!! OMG!!!! Total mayhem, how could you even allow that. That would never happen here. I can't believe what I am seeing. Cats anywhere but the floor shameful.
:D:D:D:D

*looks around, blinks, hangs head in shame* See below:

Catdad that is hilarious!! ROFLOL!!!

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid89/p19e166c6b8c8fa34118496ae62e82d15/fa7c2b9e.jpg

My Grandma would have made me rewash every pan in the cabinet!!!http://petoftheday.com/talk/images/our_smilies/biggrin.gif That is so funny! My mother never worried about such things, I guess thats where I got it.
I have determined that hair contains protein so our little furballs are just helping us maintain a healthy diet!

Is that Joey or Bob?? It's so hard to tell them apart!

[slick]

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid86/p268ca477c4809e0e419460e2e16a2f66/faafea2a.jpg

:eek: :eek: :eek: How could you!!! That's sooo unsanitary.....

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid53/p6eddf1b0b454952c779aac68e4d2ad15/fc927f4a.jpg

We are much more refined and only allowed up on the counter for medicinal purposes.

[CatDad]

That is Bob, I think this picture was taken before Joey came to live with us. I thought that was a really good picture.:) He has only done that a couple of times and it is not like he is sleeping in there. I get Bob and Joey mixed up in pictures all the time.:o

Actually, I did end up rinsing off the dishes from that shelf.:) Only because I we had company over and I thought it would have been rude to feed them cat hair.:eek:

The funnier story is when I was cooking in the microwave and I had taken the food out and set it on the counter. I heard a thump behind me and I turned to see Bob in the microwave.:eek: That one brought to mind all of the horror stories of people drying their pets in the microwave. I chased him out right away, but it was still really funny afterwards.:) He was just making sure that he knew all of the spots in the house.

[NoahsMommy]

Priceless:
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid89/p2fff04b1f435fb9ac49fd3c913998915/fa7d0d02.jpg
That is just too cute of a picture! I'd love to wake up to that every morning. :)

And Bob...you are way too cute and reminded me of Noah's "fetish" with bowls and boxes:
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid26/p2accdb7183f913af1b80efa4e1f1a382/fd7ec131.jpg

As for the counter....it IS off limits in our house. The only one that seems to forget is Micah...but only becuase he's ALWAYS STARVING and we NEVER feed him! ;)

Noel eats on our table...but we clean it daily so our guests don't get all yuckied out. :)

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

Great pics!!!

[Barbara]

I am so happy that my cats are better behaved than all those bad examples:D :D :D

Tigris never sets a foot on the counter (except when it's his turn to cook)
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid48/p422d4975aac2cba36f9bd9ac37acb9d3/fcbe7a15.jpg

Filou would never jump in the cupboard (if he had not to write my list for the supermarket)

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid48/p2f419e03ccf994f5cb118b03ca62ddc3/fcb8a806.jpg

Filou would never sit in the sink (but he only accepts fresh water.... and Evian)

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid48/pe11a5c683673f126cb98885563d5c072/fcb8a809.jpg

And of course noone around here would accept a cat in bed (unless it's the freezing cold European winter)

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid53/p9d6b63f591d68c56421eb5c5617755ca/fc90b22c.jpg

[sirrahved]

I've NEVER witnessed such horrid behavior from animals...

Hey, mom, you forgot inside the dishwasher! Em would never do that, either...

[catcrazylady]

This post is hilarious!!! The three brats on the table are going crazy trying to figure out why mom is cooking something that smells like their cat food!!! (salmon). They are only about 6 months old in that picture and oh so nosy!!

Barbara ALL of your pictures are Great and the captions were perfect!!

This is a calendar picture!
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid48/p422d4975aac2cba36f9bd9ac37acb9d3/fcbe7a15.jpg

This has got to be one of cutest bad mannered pictures!! This is a calendar picture for sure!!
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid26/p2accdb7183f913af1b80efa4e1f1a382/fd7ec131.jpg

All of these kitties are adorable!!

[catlover4ever]

Well then, my furkids have good manners then......I will never forget the day we brought Smokey home. We went to Subway and brought it home. I had a meatball sub and the phone rang....well Smokey jumped up on the table (right in front of hubby) and ran off with my sub.

I caught Tigger IN the sink, IN a pot I had just used to boil chicken....she was licking it clean.

All of these pictures were great.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Oh! You mean on the table! No, no , never happens!

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid89/p1e9e01e13a57bdc9bbeff50b96949d19/fa7a6737.jpg

[catmandu]

Actually the Found cats are reasonably good about the counters! But then again most of the Found Cats are a little long in the tooth , so jumping is not as frequent an activity! Love Catdads Cat in the pan!

[Miss Meow]

Next time I have a visitor who comments on our cats being on every table in the house, I can just point them to this thread and say, "Why, every cat does it!" :D

[Prairie Purrs]

Nobody here gets into drawers:

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid65/p49f5406be4cd501929b35aa1f8a74f69/fbf968ca.jpg

Miss Meow ........ when I FINALLY come to visit, I will ask THAT question! :D

[Vio&Juni]

eeemmm, we invited our bfs last night for a "face control" dinner :D. Juni had to show the best of her :rolleyes:

[sirrahbed]

OMEGOSH! Just reviewed this silly thread and nearly spit coffee on my monitor. I am wondering if any of the newer PT folks have any such manners at their house?? Laura??:D

[catcrazylady]

I saw this post had come back and I was looking it over again. I forgot how funny this was!! I know our new friend Laura was a little concerned about the picture of her cats on the table. Wait till she sees this!!!:D :D http://petoftheday.com/talk/images/our_smilies/biggrin.gif

I have a new one to add. Of course it's Leroy and I know you all remember it but it just fits in this thread. He is on a platter and on the table!!!
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid93/ped3e5142dadeb0ddadc16593b120a8e3/fa3d32d1.jpg

I don’t know if others are being honest about their cats but I know my cats are very well behaved…. ;)

Our fruitbowls continue good quality fruit at all times
http://www.piftails.com/images/NawteeFruitBowl1.jpg

http://www.piftails.com/images/NawteeFruitBowl2.jpg

Our laundry baskets either contain clean clothes…..
http://www.piftails.com/images/NawteeBasket.jpg

….or nothing, they never are used as giant hamster wheels in which to run down older and bigger cats
http://www.piftails.com/images/NawteeBasket2.jpg

Our cats always sleep in appropriate places, never inside kitchen cupboards….
http://www.piftails.com/images/NawteeCupboard.jpg

Or the brush box…….
http://www.piftails.com/images/NawteeSweep.jpg

and need we mention their respect towards our Christmas tree.
http://www.piftails.com/images/NawteeXmasTree.jpg

Finally they would never interfere with us visiting Pet Talk :D

I had forgotten about this thread.

Thanks for bringing it up again. I love all the well manered kitties.:eek:

Thanks I needed to laugh.:)

[catcrazylady]

Sirrahbed!!! You have already taught Dylan bad manners???
The head in the glass caused my side to hurt from laughing!!!

[Lerah021399]

This is a great thread and I love all the pictures! Although our kitties are not allowed in certain places, I know that they do go there. Jack is the biggest culprit. The places he is allowed to jump up on are of course the bed and couches, the bathroom counter to drink from the sink, and the desk in the office (my hubby started that one). Places that they are not allowed and I've caught him are: on my dresser, the kitchen table, our nightstands and the entertainment center. I have never caught them on my husband's dresser or on the kitchen counters, although I'm sure Jack has been there!

Well, as you can see, my kitties have a way of making their own rules in my house! This is Tucker's famous "I'm so cute, Mommy, you wouldn't dare fuss at me" Look! Believe me, he shows me this one ALOT!!!:rolleyes:

Since we've moved from the kitchen,....

My cats certainly leave the fish tank alone

And would never ever touch the fish food

And they wouldn't dream of climbing my windows (regardless of whether or not a fly is there)

And well... they certainly don't give themsleves baths in bed.
