What do you love about your cat(s)

[DJFyrewolf36]

I got this idea from Dukedogsmom in Dog General...and thought it would be fun to ask all of our kittys hoomans what they LOVE about thier kitties!

Of course our cats will say "Well you love EVERYTHING about us...right?" and of course the answer is yes but Im sure there are things that stand out.

Remus: Whats not to love about my ambassodor boy? He's the socalite, always meeting and greeting everyone (critter or hooman) that walks in my door. He is a good judge of character too, if someone is really bad news, he can usually tell within a sniff or two and just walks off and hides. I also love his little chirp of a meow...and how he likes to hang out on the back or arm of my computer chair.

Spook: She isn't social in the slightest bit but she is a darn good protector kitty. She actually hisses at people who hang around our window too much (mainly the bratty nieghbor kids lol). Most people think twice about messing with my apartment when they see a black cat arch up and hiss at them through the window. The apartment manager actually likes her doing that, it keeps the majority of vandals away from our building! She also can be a cuddle bug in private, and if she knows you you had better darn well pet her!

Onyx: He is often refered too as a Maine Goon (thanks Reddhedd for the term ). He is my most playfull kitty, and is even starting to play with Hoodini (who doesn't quite get what the big black lummox is trying to do lol). He loves to play chase, with strings...well he just likes to PLAY...unless he is asleep or eating.

Hoodini: I have a lap warmer in training. He already is getting insistant about attention and will purr like mad if you hold him and rub his belly. He is content to let you pet him for HOURS, and if you stop he'll stand and stare at you until you start up again.

Of course all of my cats are adorable (well I think so anyhow ) and they just seem to form a cohesive and cooperative pack even with Spook having well...cattatude. Each member has his or her place, and Hoodini is integrating very well. I guess thats why he moved immediately from "foster" to "resident"

Anyhow, enough of my rambling...

The Fact Taht They Are There For Me And Love Me When I Not Not Deserve It.
I Wish I Was As Good A Guardian As They Deserve.

Halo ~ I like that Halo is a very polite kitty. She never intrudes. Stays in the background -- but always near. She always comes when we all her. She is quiet (unless you put her in the port-o-prison!). She loves catnip. She is kind and gentle and a little timid. She acts like she's always on her best behavior.

Cammie ~ Hmmmm, I like that she is totally devoted to Bobcat to the exclusion of all human beings on the planet. I like that she has a protective, mothering instinct and attempts to comfort the other kitties if they cry.

Pepper ~ I absolutely love her NO ONE IS THE BOSS OF ME personality. She is a fearless daredevil who has worried many years off my life. I love that her horrible heart murmur hasn't slowed her down and that she is determined to live ever single moment of her life on the edge. (At this point, I think my heart is going to give out before hers does).

Willy ~ Our only true snuggler. I adore this boy so. He is sweet and loveable. He wants to touch and be touched at all times. He's a big lump of love!

Willow ~ I love my little Licky Lou! She will lick, lick, lick you until your skin is sore. She is a big, puffball of fur. She is skittish and hides when the doorbell or phone rings, but she's always close by. She brings me presents all night long (balls, paper, hair clips). She always wants to play not matter what time it is.

I love that Squeak loves me as much as she does. She takes every step I take at home. She isn't very fond of anything or anyone else, but she loves her Mom! She's always been my sweet girl that Mom loves sooo much!

MooShoo- he's my soulmate. He's in my bed every single night under the covers with his head on HIS pillow. He's loyal and loves me unconditionally. Alot more than I can say about some of the guys I've dated.

Mollie Rose - my 14 year tortie has been with me through my man failed relationships, my hysterectomy, depression and hospitalization. She was my very first cat.

Maya Linn - VERY vocal meezer mix who wakes me up when my alarm clock fails, only because she's hungry.

Shortie Girl - She's my perpetual kitten who LOVES to play fetch and loves her armpits scratched.

Lexi Joon - my 6 month old hairless baby is full of energy who loves to play fetch, and loves wrestling with her "unca" MooShoo.

[cassiesmom]

I love that she greets me at the door (sometimes!) after I've been gone. I love that she tucks her backside into the bend of my elbow for sleep. I love when she deigns to give me kisses with her little grey nose. I love that she has allowed me to be her caregiver all these years.

GREAT THREAD!

Tabitha: She is my first cat, my heart cat, my "19 year old kitten" as she has her momets of being very playful and running through the house like she is 4 months old again! Tabby is my cuddler, and loves to sleep on the pillows next to my head, with her head tucked next to my ear, purring (quite loudly!) right in my ear. She also has to have at least one paw on me at all times! She loves to lay on the back of the couch while I watch TV and purr in my ear.

Sasha: She is my "silly sister Sasha" as she keeps me entertained! She loves to play with her milk rings! And can she toss them high into the air! She also loves to play hockey with them on the linoleum in the kitchen. She will cuddle on her terms and on her time only. And every morning, she wakes me up by sitting in the middle of the bedroom meowing loudly until I get up and turn on the water in the bathroom sink. Once I sit up, she will run to the bathroom and I find her on the vanity, with her front paws in the sink, waiting patiently!

[Laura's Babies]

Amy- I love her for her determanation and her never give up spirit. I love how it makes me feel when she looks up at me and gives me that special look that says "Pick me up!"..

Giz- I love her sense of humor, adventure and her zest for having a good time and playfulness. She is so much fun to be around.

Samantha- Her devotion to me, the fact that she never gave up in her effort to be mine. I love how she likes to curl up in a lap or hide under the covers and how playful she can be.

Kitty Boo- How faithful and devoted she was to Mama and how sweet she can be with me. I love that she sleeps with me every night and how she wakes me up with that gentle touch on my face with her paw... That is just SO sweet!

[KittyGurl]

Snow- She is so lovable and friendly! If your sad, she will always be there by your side. She is a wonderful, fat and lazy cat that I love!

Angel- She is so playful! I can always play with her. She has a great personality and is lovable, but sometimes not always friendly. LOL! I love that wonderful cat!

[Medusa]

Puddy - I love how she looks at me, as though she truly likes me. I know she loves me but she looks at me as though she likes me. And I love how she likes to hang w/the humans. Her head goes back and forth from person to person as though she understands every word of the conversation.

Boo Bear - I like that he comes when I call him, much like a dog would. And boy, does he ever talk. And he likes to check out new people; he'll jump up on their lap and look them square in the eye, as if to say "My mom might like ya but I'll let you know later what I think."

Pidge - I love how she taps on my arm when she wants attention. And I love her sweetness; what a sweet disposition she has. It's always seemed as though she's just grateful to have a home.

Creamsicle - I love how she just has to touch your face and smell your breath. Maybe it's because she's deaf and she's compensating, I don't know. She can melt the coldest heart.

Yodie - I love her eye kisses. She gives me lots of them and leg hugs, too. And she's another talker, sometimes to the point where I have to say "Aw, shuddup already!" And she'll just suddenly flop over and expect a belly rub, no excuses, Mom!

Coco Puff - I love the way he schmoozes me when he wants something. He's such a handsome blue eyed lover. If I was a cat, I'd be in big trouble. Another talker, too. Goes through the house, sounding like he's saying "Oh well!" And he still makes that "boop boop" noise, so much so that I call him Booper every once in a while.

Specs - I love the white rings around his eyes, as though he's wearing specs. And I love the way he sleeps upside down. All cats do that but the way he does it, I can't make out head or tail!

RB Peeka - She started the tapping me on the arm thing. She melted my heart the first time she did it. And when she and her brother Boo Bear lived w/my son for a couple of years when I was separating from my husband and living in Sedona, she'd be sure to leave a toy of hers in my suitcase so that when I'd unpack, I'd find it. It's as if she was saying "Don't forget us, Mom." It always made me cry. And I loved giving her stub rubs where her tail had been amputated. She'd raise her head up high as if to say "Oh yeah, right there, Mom."

[columbine]

Smudge is incredibly sweet-natured, always trying to do what he thinks I'd like him to. One time he found a packet of beef jerky I'd left in a box below waist level, and he carefully took it out of the box, then came and got me to show me what he'd found. Last week he had a tummyache and hurried into the kitchen to find me cleaning his box! He gave a querulous little "Meow?" and waited for me to put the cover back on before he dashed in and did his very urgent business. He greets me at the door with lots of toe kisses every day, and most mornings he'll give me a bit of a cuddle when he hears me begin to stir. He's not a lap cat (wouldn't fit!) but we just enjoy being near each other. His "happy place" is sprawled on the floor behind me as I work at my desk. Smudge is wonderful!

Love, Columbine

Mitzi's purr - she's got the loudest purr in the world IMHO.

The little paw print on her nose. The way she chases her tail - still! It always cracks me up and she does it at least once a day. I tried once to catch it in video, but she's way too fast and I'm usually laughing too hard to hold the camera still.

I love the way she puts her paw up to grab treats - she never uses her claws; it's always a gentle tap on my hand to ask for it nicely.

Her little voice - she's using it a lot more now and the psychic said she would - she's finding her voice in the world! Her little mrrt's - she's chirping in glee at me at lot more now too and I just love it.

Her beautiful coloring, especially on her face; her fluffy white ruff and her white mitts (I call them her ice cream feet because they're tri-colored in different places - just like ice cream!)

[carole]

Lets start with My princess of the house Lexie.

I just love how she looks up at me with the most love in her eyes, i swear that cat says i love you to me, I love when i say at night you coming to bed with Mama and she miaows and runs up the stairs with me, i walk though lol.

Ellie-mae, i love how when you cuddle her she makes the most unusal little squeaks, to anyone else you would think i was hurting her but i know it is just her and how she instantly purrs immediately you pick her up. I also love how she is my only lap cat, although lately she has been slacking on the job lol.

Ash, I love how he does floppies on demand, however they are becoming less and less as he ages. I also love how he becomes an instant kitten at times, chasing his tail ,running up the stairs with a wild look in his eyes,and he has a face full of expression,i swear he frowns sometimes.

Nikkita my second princess, i love how she is more vocal than the rest, my cats are very quiet kitties most of the time, I love how she has become an almost indoor kitty these days, she is still a bit timid at times, but has the sweetest gentle nature just like me Lexie. I love how her and lexie love to be buried under blankets,and Nikki will just come over to us demanding to be under the blanket and cuddled up to us at nights on the couch.

There are many other things i love about them all, but these ones come to mind instantly.
