Funny things CATS do!

[treybabe]

I told the story a few months ago about how my Maine Coon girl sticks one paw out gracefully and brings it down slowly vertically when she wishes permission to come aboard my lap. I now know a way to describe this special behavior. She resembles the Seattle Mariner's baseball player, Ichiro, who does just about the same stance whenever he lines up at the bat. You Mariner's fans know what I mean and can now picture Gusty as she lines up before her lap jump.

My cat Indigo - the silent one - likes to explore and do acrobatics. I have seen her, more than once, hop from the top of a dresser to the top of an open closet door and balance there, on that narrow ledge, looking around for the next place to go. She is so funny riding the door back and forth as it wobbles under her weight. (She is a trim kitty, which is why she is able to get around so well - her plump sister Beauty would not have such luck, if she tried.)

My family's cat Mustard (who went his way many years ago) used to be so funny when we gave him catnip. He was ordinarily a very shy, mannerly cat; but when he had sniffed a little catnip, you had to be very, very careful about where you walked. If you walked through the living room, he was likely to be hiding under the coffee table, ready to snake along the ground and pounce. And when I say "snake," he really did look like a snake - running his chin along the ground and wriggling along, until he met his target. Very funny, but a bit scary if you were the "prey!"

My cat, Thomas, always INSISTS on being fed his can of wet food as soon as I wake up. If I don't feed him right away, he will get up on my lap, reach his paw up, and *smack* me. He doesn't do it hard-just kinda smacks me lol. He'll do it until I feed him.
Also, he seems to have a love/hate relationship with my boyfriend's feet. My bf has a foot odor problem, but my cat insists on always laying by his feet when he's home-even if they reek lol. And at the same time, if my bf and I fight, he'll go to lay by his feet, but then all of a sudden bite them and run to me! Like, *That's what u get for messing with my mama* LOL

I will be moving soon and will be living above a young couple with a baby.... I stay up late at night but am relatively quiet... keep the TV low ect.

BUT one of my two cats has an irritating and loud habit of meowing when she wants me to PLAY with her at night, or feed her, or change the litter box... In other words she is very vocal and can be heard OUTSIDE the apartment. She will meow sometimes when I step outside so I know!

I am worried that she will disturb my new neighbors. She is now about six years old and I wonder if there is anyway I can quiet her down BESIDES perhaps becoming her SLAVE and playing with her constantly to get her to NOT meow. Perhaps that is all I can do but I tend to NOT do that and get on this computer and ignore her... I have gotten used to the meows and it does not always register anymore. Am I a bad mommy???

Any ideas on quieting my MEOWER kitty?

My cat Tux's middle name is "inspector". His duties include:

1. Examining all the shopping bags to make sure we bought everything on our list (and his).

2. Opening the cupboards in both the kitchen and bathroom to make sure everything is in order.

3. Opening my dresser drawers to see if that all my socks/underwear etc... are properly folded and/or match.

In addition to his regular duties, he is currently training his new recruit Pesca so that he can cut down on his workload. :P (Poor boy)

P.S. Randi that pic of Fister is hilarious!

One of my cats,Rollins will reach out and place his paw on my face and cock his head and just look up at me. I love it when he does that. He did it just a little while ago when he jumped up in my lap. Yikes gives me head-butts when he wants to say "I love ya,Dad." Yikes is also a "cooer". Ol' Satchmo though,not being a touchy-feely kinda guy will occasionally forget he's Mr. TuffStuff and give me head-butts but mostly he'll body slam alongside my leg when he wants something. Those cats of our's....they're somethin'. Rollins is ALWAYS the first one to come runnin' to greet me when I come home from work...Yikes second...hahaha,then I have to go find Satchmo to tell him "Hi". I gotta say this though, that Rollin's extended paw gesture is the nicest thing any cat has ever done to me. He looks up,extends paw on my face,and leaves it there..no claws. I want to get a new digital camera to share photos of my boyz with all of you;my Kodak EasyShare is fried.

Cats are soo amusing! My cat Lenox growls whenever someone rings our doorbell, or knocks. The first time he did it I wasn't sure I heard correctly, a guard kitty? I didn't think so but now he growls almost everytime, and also if we have a guest he is unfamiliar with he will hide around the corner and growl at them it's pretty funny!

Our cat, Stewie, will answer us anytime we say his name and the word "What??". No matter where he is in the house, if he hears someone say "What?" we'll hear him meow in response. He'll also do it over and over and over again...
"Stewie, what??"
"Meow!"
"Good Kitty. What?"
"Meow!"
"What??"
"Meow!"
It's hysterical! He often has other conversations with us when he's in the mood to "talk", too.
