To the kitties: Your top 5 of most disgusting things in a cat's life!

[Kirsten]

Hi, here's Luna speaking! Well, guess we're all lucky felines here who are deeply loved by our human mommies and daddies, but even though they love and adore us, they let some very disgusting things happen in our cat lives.

My top 5 definitely are:

1. the vet
2. the vaccum cleaner
3. getting claws trimmed
4. getting teeth brushed
5. mom's water pistol when I'm killing her plants

My life would be so much easier without this...
What's YOUR top 5?

Hugs and purrs,

Luna ,,,^..^,,,

[Former User]

1.) word 'NO' yelled out loud everyday
2.) vacuum cleaner
3.) vacuum cleaner
4.) the vet
5.) the water pistol that comes out of nowhere when where hanging on the curtains...

we really hate vacuum cleaner, that's why it's there twice! Vet isn't so bad, but that's because nothing bad has happened to us there (yet).

There is no question vacuum cleaners are the most awful invention....what comes in a close second is the power mower! Pots, pans etc. which make loud clangs and bangs after one carefully knocks them on the kitchen floor are dreadful. Wynkie does not like the buzzer on the dryer (drier?), especially when shes snoozing on top of it while it's nice and warm. Very truly yours, Peregrin Took, the Thane(aka Pippin) o/b/o self, Eowyn (Wynkie) and Legolas (Lil Guy)

Trevor and Andy put their heads together and came up with these things they hate:
1 - Having to live with dog slobber on our beautiful fur from the pup licking us!!!
2 - People knocking at the front door and scaring us so we have to go hide for a while!
3 - Being told to get off the kitchen table!
4 - This low fat food our mom is buying and getting less kitty treats!
5 - Being hollered at when we "clean" items off the top of the dresser.

tuxluvr, I forgot about "the old puffed tail!" (Great pictures by the way!)Yep, that's a condition that my kitties don't like to be in either. It definitely means that something in their world is not to their liking. The last time my kitties were "puffed" was the day they realized we had invited a DOG to live with us.

Max's list of "'scust me" things:

1. Vet
2. Vet
3. Vet (do we note a theme, here?)
4. Dogs bigger than me (not an easy fete
- Mh) - definate tail busher!
5. Mom - when she cuts my "fingers"
(claws), gives me meds/vitamins,
flea-bug med, or when she squishes
me because she can't resist me -
otherwise, she's not so bad.

[auggie]

The girls hate:
1. The Vacuum Monster
2. The evil Pet Carrier
3. The Vet (who had to pull Cat out of my
Hair at the last Visit)
4. Trash Bags
5. Strangers knocking on the Door or ringing
the Doorbell.

The Boy hates:
1. Being touched
2. Being picked up
3. Having Hugs and Kisses forced on him
4. The Neighbor's Dog
5. Thunder and Lightning

[Kirsten]

Oh yes, I agree, dogs are more than awful, especially the big ones! And "no" is a terrible word, it always comes when I'm having fun!
And bugs on the ceiling... more than annoying! I've even learned walking the top of the door but I can't reach them though!

Luna

[purrley]

1. The door bell
2. My six year old grand daughter
3. Another cat outside
4. Company in general

2 of my 4 cats love to chase the vacuum
yes, even when its running, but run like hell when the door bell rings - go figure.

My cats all dislike different things except from the vacuum cleaner

Prema:
1. Her mom having to go to work 5 days a week
2. The pet carrier especially when we have to force her into it
3. Having her paws touched and her nails trimmed
4.The vacuum cleaner
5 Her new younger brother (I think it's cats in general she has a problem with - except from 1 of her cousins)

There are good reasons behind point 2 and 3, poor thing

Maya:
1. Fireworks (she is terrified of them, even whjen they are on TV)
2. Removals which occur sometimes in our apartment block (she only hisses when she sees removal vans )
3. The fences we had to put around house plants
4. The vacuum cleaner
5. Not getting her own way (like not being able to jump on the table when she feels like it)

It's too early to say what the young one dislikes, I've only had him for a few days

Gio,

Me too! I am sorry about the loss of so many people so close to where you are.

Here are Noah's Dislikes:
1. The vacuum cleaner
2. Moving trucks that steal mommy and daddy's parking spot up front. (They make lots of noise)
3. The wind when I am outside checking the mail with mommmy
4. Daddy ignoring me at 3:00 am when I want to snuggle. (That's OK, mommy will wake up and cuddle! )
5. Being stuck inside when mommy and daddy talk with the neighbors. "I can hear you and I want to come out too!"
