I do NOT spoil my kitties

[Laura's Babies]

I keep coming back and I am cracking up! It all sounds like typical stuff to us, don't it?

[catland]

I would never, EVER start a fire in the fireplace just to please my kitties. Nor would I set up little boxes in front of the fireplace for them to sit in - trying to find just the right distance so that they wouldn't be too warm or too cold.

ok - maybe I would.

and I would never bother to turn on the shower just a little bit so that Joxer could get a drink because he sits in the bathtub looking so cute and patient while he waits for one of us to notice him.

[Don Juan's mom]

Oh, let's see. NO, my kitties are not spoiled. I just find it relaxing to lie on the floor when I come in the house and give scritches and rubs.

I'm not spoiling Don Juan when I stop fixing supper and get out his Love Glove (TM) for a brushing, because this way he won't get all that nasty hair in his tummy. Besides, his yowls tend to distract my preparations and I let things burn. And he's so considerate, knowing when I need to take a break from knitting and climbing up on my shoulder so I have to stop knitting and hold him. Love listening to him purrrrrrrr.

I really enjoy Zerlina's company in the bathroom. That's why she has a special water dish of her own on the sink. And when I'm getting ready for bed, and she rolls on her back and shows me her cute bikini markings, how could I resist giving her ten minutes of playtime?

Goes without saying that they eat better than I do. But that's just my responsibility as a cat mom.

I never ease very slowly and carefully into the few feet of space my cats have left on the bed when I go to sleep, saying "I'm sorry", "I'm really sorry", "Ooops, I didn't mean to nudge you, so sorry." Right!

I never leave late for work because Big Ted decides at the very last minute that he doesn't want to drink the fresh water in two bowls but from the kitchen tap. Sure!

I never spend ten minutes crawling around after a cat, apologising profusely and begging them to forgive me after they've rushed at my legs and I've stumbled over them. Pull the other leg!

I never spend half-an-hour unloading cat supplies from the car and about 5 seconds removing my own, how could I be so indulgent?!

I never get up from the sofa massaging my back and stretching painfully cramped legs because I waited until I couldn't stand the pain one more second before I would disturb the four or more cats piled around me. How silly that would be!

[Pawsitive Thinking]

LOL! I don't know how your poor kitties survive such neglect and mistreatment

[babychicaleek]

[babychicaleek]

Yup I had to laugh due to all sounds so true in my household == Lets see about Not spoiling == If I have set out the cloths on the be for the day & one of the girls is laying on them; then I get out another set of cloths == If they are laying in the recliner, then I will sit on the floor == If I get out lunch or supper & they want some, then of course they get the food first.. But then again define the work spoil & oh no not at my house

My cat will never be spoiled....

I have looked for the "Best If Used By" date and cannot find one anywhere on the Edster!

Oh yow right Richard.. You want us to believe that?

[shais_mom]

No kitties on the counters - well unless your Kloe and you like to watch the water go down the drain when I do dishes, but only if my parents aren't here!
Kylie can do no wrong so nothing much to say about her!

[Prairie Purrs]

I have never sat through a TV show that I didn't want to watch because I couldn't reach the remote without disturbing a couple of lap cats.

Nor do I reserve the last bite in the food can to be spoon-fed to Angel. I have especially never done so while Angel was standing on the dining table.

[Sevaede]

I must say, as well, that my cats are not spoiled. Evidence is as follows.

They do not get canned food, with special attentions paid to meat and flavour (Isis likes chicken and Soni likes shrimp or beef), every time mom goes somewhere.

They do not get brand new toys on a regular basis.

They do not get to share moms drinks or eats.

They are not allowed to crawl all over the computer, mom and dads reading, or moms art work.

They do not get a half ounce of catnip every time mom changes the cardboard piece out of the scratchy ball toy.

Those are just a few pieces of proof that neither cat is spoiled!

What we do for out pets, I tell ya. When I go into the loft to surf the web or watch tv and knit, if someone is on the futon, I sit on the floor. My little darlings have a soft faux fur mat in front of my monitor that is just for them with the desk lamp shining on them for warmth. If they're all over my bed, I finagle my way under the covers and become a contortionist sleeper so as not to disturb them. If my arm is numb while MooShoo is sleeping on it, I lay in the same position until HE wakes up.

If I have a glass of water while I'm watching tv and MooShoo wants a "sippy" (which he ALWAYS does), he gets it till he's not thirsty anymore.

My cats spoiled???? Nah!!!

Dille has a spot she likes on the bed,and don't you know it's dead in the center! When it's time to go to sleep I have to arrange myself around her. That's not spoiling, that's just good manners! She was there first after all!

Maghoi has a paper sack by the door she likes to hide/sleep/play in. I should have thrown it away ages ago, but how can I throw someting out that doesn't belong to me? Again, not spoiling, just manners!
