I love my cat(s) BUT....

**Cataholic** · 04-12-2010, 01:12 PM

Happylabs thread in behaviour (does your cat whir) made me think...we all love our cats, but, maybe not all parts of them, right? So, let's hear it!

I love my big, black, bully boy- Montana...BUT, I cannot STAND his "open up the shade" act as soon as daylight hits. Both bedroom shades. Clank, clank, clank, looks over at me, clank, clank, clank, with his paws...the metal thing on the bottom hitting the sides of the window. By this time I am up and moving towards it, and he waits patiently. ARGH.

But, I love him.

You know I am trying to think if there is anything that really bugs me. I pretty much just laugh off the stuff that they do.

One minor thing Buddy has been doing lately is trying to steal my milk if I have milk at night. I really like to drink milk if I have a cookie or a brownie or something like that. This morning I had a mug of Nestle's Quick while I checked my email before work. I wasn't paying attention to him and he almost stuck his paw in my mug but I caught him at the last minute. I have already caught him with his paw all the way in my glass of plain milk and it is too late. He will dip his paw in and then lick it off and then do it again about 10 more times. I know milk is not good for him but that little amount doesn't seem to bother him.

Since Mama is now a lap cat she seems to want to come up when I have my laptop in my lap and just plop right on top of it.

But, all in all, those things are not really all that bad.

Mac likes to walk back and forth across my chest or lap when I'm trying to watch TV. I'm trying to pet him at the same time, so I'm not sure what he wants. I have to push him to one side and tell him to sit still. He also likes to walk in the back door through the doggy door and ask (immediately) to be let out the front door!

I can't really think of anything with Paizly. Except that she has to walk right in front of me while I'm on the computer. So I can't see the screen at all. Or she steps on the keyboard and messes up what I'm typing or changes screens on me. Other than that, she is an angel!

Pink Nose is SUCH a mooch! He'll try to get at my food, especially lamb or chicken, his faves.

I am glad I limited my complaints to just ONE cat! You all have saints!

my sweet lil girl lexie, she is a darling but the most destructive cat i have ever owned, compared to the other two she is a tad nawtee, she has ruined nearly all my net curtains, the wallpaper is scratched to heck, even though we have a big scratch post, which she does use, she also loves all the furniture, i was airing a mattress for my daughters new single bunk set she had bought outside, and who did i catch scratching it, yep you guessed, miss blackie butter would not melt in her mouth.
Not to mention she gets great fun out of clawing all around the bed, yes early mornings when you are still sleeping or she just runs upstairs and does it for the fun.

Nikki well when you go to open the door to come inside, she just sits there for ages before deciding to actually come on in,on a cold winters morning can be a tad irritating.

As for Ellie, well she is a bit of a crazy ole girl,so we just accept anything and everything, but generally her most annoying thing is when she attacks her daughter nikki for no reason whatsoever.

Short list:
1. MITS must put me to bed and I MUST lay on my right side.
2. LUCKY must escort me to the bath room and wait until I finish what I'm doing there.
3. DOBE must curl under my arm pit when I go to bed, Just to tick off MITS.
4. BOO BOO has to keep my feet warm in bed. I don't like to be too warm.
5. PENNY & LENNY must keep my but and/or crotch warm in bed.
6. Lucky must run from the kitchen and jump on my chest if I'm watching TV (this is done 3-5 time a night)
7. Demeri lies on my right shoulder in the TV chair I get kisses on the nose with a few nibbles.
8. Precious lays on my left shoulder if Demetri is on the right (can't breathe)
9. Bart (26 lb main coon) wants to sit next to me in the TV chair (both buts too big)
10. Mits & Lucky can't decide witch arm of the TV chair to sit on, so back and forth the whole time I'm there.
This list could go on for several pages.
The good thing is they all know that I do not feed in the morning, so I can get up and not be hassled. They with wait for MOM. Lenny is her alarm clock at 5:30 am.
