If you could change something about your cat...

[Kirsten]

...what would it be? I'm sure, as much as we love and adore them, they all have their little faults - well, most of them.

One or two months ago, I would have said my Luna is just perfect and I wouldn't want to change anything about her, but now I have this annoying litterbox problem with her and I just can't find out what's bothering her (http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...threadid=24170)

I really really love her, but it would be great if I wouldn't have to wash the blankets on the guest bed every day (the mattress is already covered with synthetic leather after I just had to dispose the first one).

So, is there anything about YOUR cats that's bugging you? Just curious!

I like Blueberry just the way he is, but I would like him to stop......well.....now that I think about it, I think he's pretty well trained already. I would like him to get out of his habit of biting me hard when playing, for him to like grooming more, and to get rid of that litterbox problem. I would also like to get him trained to do things like sit, come, etc.
Finally, I'd love for him to be more of a lapcat!
Hehe, I know that there's more that one thing that I want to change, but I'm okay with him now.

[Kirsten]

He also has a litter box problem?
Oh, and btw, Luna also bites when she is tired of being cuddled, but not very hard and I can live with that... But the litter box thing... too annoying!

STERLING.....please do not SLURP so loudly when you take a bath!!!

AMBER..... I am not killing you when I brush you, so behave!

CALVIN....please do not be afraid when I try to hold you.

I guess the rest are perfect.

hmm.. let's see..
Eliza.. you will ALWAYS have food, so please do not panic when your bowl is empty. Know your food will be coming soon at the appropriate time.

Bach and Mozart... PALEEEZE cover up your tootsie rolls after you're done... can't you SMELL it?!

[kimlovescats]

About the only thing I would change if it were possible ... is to lessen the amount of poop going in the litter boxes!!!
Even with the higher quality food I'm feeding we still have massive poo poo and well, some of us don't cover too well!!!

[miese Katze]

Ooh, I like this question!

With Amelie, she is so funny and gets really (and I mean REALLY) into being petted or groomed, it looks like she is in ecstacy, rubbing her head on anything and everything, stretching out her hand (which always reminds me of the Titanic car scene), but then sometimes she gets so excited that she come really close to my face and I think that she is going to give me a small kiss, then *ouch*, she bites me. I don't care for that much.

As for Nino, when he is wide awake and wanting something (read food) he follows me around insisently and darts between/in front of my feet, ofter causing me to fall. He's a sweetie, but that causes a few foul words to slip my mouth.

Otherwise, my cats are perfect, of course

Clive: 3am picking up the rug and dropping it. Again, and again. OR, since he wont use his scratching post, picking up the dart board (yes really) and dropping it. again, and again. he puts his little (big) claws under the metal and lifts it to stretch his claws, then drops it.

on the plus side, my living room chair just might survive.

oh, one more thing. whats with the obsession with closed doors. even ones that lead to no where. if they are closed he MUST open them. with his little claws, underneath them. usually also at 3am.

[krazyaboutkatz]

I love all 3 of my cats just as they are but if I could change something about them then:

Storm- I wish he wouldn't beg for food all the time and I also wish that he liked to be held and that he could become more of a lap cat.

Sunny- I wish that he wouldn't be so meowy in the mornings and late at night and that he'd cover up his poop all of the time.

Cirrus- I wish he'd let me pick him up and cuddle him and let me give him a belly rub and also become more trusting towards people.

[Barbara]

Tigris: a little more enthusiasm please when I want to play with you. Not always that look.

Filou: if you don't come to my lap you could roll up on the sofa next to me... would be kinda cute

[ramanth]

I wish Zam was a little more loving. I can only pet her head. If I try to pet her back, sides, and especially her belly, she will swat at me (with claws ) and bite at me.

[catmandu]

Sometimes i wish that Juke joint Joseph didnt love his Whiskas Temptations so much , as he drives me nuts when i first get home , meeeowing for his treats!The Rest are exactly what I wanted them to be , when I first took them in as strays!

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

I wish Ally wouldn't walk in front of me when I am carrying a TRAY and I can't SEE her.......I'm sure you can all guess the results!!!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

For both of them, I wish they were 1 year old again....well...ok, 3 for Tubby and 1 for Peanut since Peanut wouldn't even be born yet if Tubby was 1.

And I really wish Peanut could talk so she could tell me why she's licking herself clean of hair. Actually, I'm beginning to think she is jealous of Moo and wants to be a hairless cat like he is. She's got a good start on it - unfortunately.
