I'm cooking in the kitchen, then I move a bit, and ops, I stepped on a cats paw or tail. I hear a MEOW, and then I feel guilty of stepping on either Casper or Kitty. Then I pick one up and start petting him/her because I feel guilty. They have this clever expression on their face then, haha, gotcha! You're petting me now!
Does this sound familiar? :D
Cats are tricky that way........they always seem to get what they want!
Totally!! That sounds just like my little furbaby!! :)
I had a poor silly kitty that was always underfoot in the kitchen. His little tail (and I mean little - about an inch long!) had been stepped on so many times that he immediately rubbed my legs and started purring anytime I accidently stepped on him, because he knew the lovin' was always coming afterward! I think he thought it was some kind of weird human ritual, a stomp-then-love type thing!

ROTFL! I'd never heard of that before!
Those kitties are soooo smart!
Mine are more like: 'how dare you, you un-elegant human!' and jump on the table to be save again. I usually get a bonus hiss when I try to make up with them afterwards.
Butter is my "under foot" cat, especially in the kitchen! He wants to be wherever we are. Helen and I have learned to give him a little treat or something to distract him, otherwise, he is jumping out from under the table (he thinks he's hiding from us) and grabbing our ankles constantly!!! :D
LOL this reminds me of Jessee (now at Rainbow Bridge). She was under foot all the time, but she would always yell out if I even came close to stepping on her paw - just to warn me I was getting too close :D
Oh, yes! I usually have the two cats and the turtle underfoot when I'm in the kitchen.
The other day, I was working in the kitchen and the three of them were right next to me on the floor. Well, Yertle the turtle decided to try and take a bite out of Elvis' tail. I had never seen him do that before; he's not the kind of turtle that snaps. Anyway, Elvis jumped about 3 feet in the air with Yertle attached to his tail! When he finally flipped his tail, Yertle let go and ended up upside-down, sliding across the kitchen floor on his back. It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen and, after making sure that Elvis' tail was not hurt, I sat on the floor and had one of the best laughs of my life. I only wish I had a video camera. Words cannot describe...
Thelma...LOL LOL LOL ROTFL That must have been the funniest site ever!! Just the thought of it, and picturing it in my mind had me rolling here in the office, I had to shut my door!
My babies are underfoot...'door mat' kitties too. I always feel so bad if I accidentally step on a tail or a paw...especially when they let out that blood curdling 'MMMMRRRAAAAUUUUUUU!!!' ouchie sound. I always scoop them up and smother them with kissies and apologize over and over. I would have to think that they would learn not to get underfoot after being stepped on...but I think it's just a ruse.... :rolleyes:
