    Havoc will pace back and forth across my lap or the desk like he wants some attention, but if you pick him up and love on him he squirms away and starts pacing again.

    Toby....where to start? When he wants some food in the middle of the night, he is a real pest and will do anything imaginable to get me out of bed: turn the touch lamp off and on, play with the blinds, or whatever the most obnoxious thing is that he can think of. I now have to unscrew the lamp bulb and raise the blinds at night. To counteract this, he's now clawing on the side of the bed in the middle of the night. He skeedaddles out the door as soon as I stir because he knows I'm gonna either (1)spank him, or (2)get up and feed him.... either way he doesn't hang around.

    As everyone here is well aware, I am VERY fond of my Pinot and think she's perfect (she tells me so!). There is one little habit...

    Do you all have the spring type of doorstops behind your doors? The ones that are coiled brass with a plastic tip where the door hits? They move back and forth if pushed from the side. If we aren't out of bed on time on weekends she goes after the ends of the doorstops, pulls them back and lets them go, so they make a REALLY LOUD "BOING!"! It will make you jump when unexpected! She is SUCH a clever girl!

    Smudge is on medicine for his allergies that makes him feel hungry ALL THE TIME, so he begs constantly! I'll be eating olives or pepperoncini, and he'll beg, so I'll show him an olive, and he'll sniff it and walk away, then come back and beg again. My attempts to convince him that he doesn't like everything I like have completely backfired - giving him a tiny crumb of cheese has only taught him that he absolutely adores cheese! But what can you do? It doesn't upset his stomach or make him break out, so he can have a dot of cheese if he wants.

    Love, Columbine

    Ooooo this one is easy for most of my guys!

    Allen: poopy butt ALL the time. I clean it, and he's like Peanut's Pigpen who gathers dust around him seconds later.

    Pouncer: Constant sickness. Will this cat ever be healthy?

    Harry: The simple fact that he doesn't like me.

    Abby: Will not let me groom her or trim her nails.... and her nails are always sharpened needles.

    Flutter: Love me, pet me, love me.... run away. Love me, pet me, love me.... run away. Knocking EVERYTHING off the dresser when I'm ignoring her love me pleas.

    Mikey: Knocking over drink glasses. Eating straws.

    Trixie: Wrestling Callie. She wins most times but its a ton of noise and always when I need peacce and quiet to relax. and she BITES. Hard. and she steals food off your plate.

    Mystic: He looks all sweet and innocent, but he's always dead center of something. The Christmas tree has seen its last holiday thanks to him.

    OMGosh, what a great thread! I loved reading all the earlier post, he hee.

    Sparkle: has 2 annoying habits. She loves to sit up on my left shoulder, head up there and boy draped across my chest. She does this every evening while I am watching - scratch that, while I am TRYING to watch TV!

    If she gets hungry overnight and the other cats have emptied the food bowls, she clears of my night table: lamp, clock radio, books, my glasses, everything goes flying onto the floor.

    Chestnut: he loves to drink from the running tap on my bathroom sink; but he declines to learn how to turn it off when he is done.

    Tommy: any time anyone opens the newspaper, he comes flying from various parts of the house, and proceeds to sprawl on top of it. He suddenly wants petting. This is the ONLY time he wants petting!

    Chestnut, I would be happy to shut the water off when you are done drinking. And Tommy, I've got the Sunday newspaper here because I haven't read it yet - may I pet you while I read?

    You all know what I'm going to say about Cassie - my kitty confetti production specialist! Wake up, Mom, I'm hungry - rip, rip, rip! I used to be able to leave a paperback book or a magazine on the night table - not anymore. Mom, why are you on the phone? Rip, rip, rip! No paper is safe from Cassie when she is in her "rippin' " mode.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    What a bunch of pansies!

    Ed sits near my head-at 0500 hours- and goes "MRRRT" because he wants a fresh bowl o' treats.

    I laugh at him, tell him to shut up, then climb out of bed and get him some, because I know he'll be relentless until he gets what he wants!

    LOVE all of our babies, but they definately have a few "quirks".
    Lyle: if he is the slightest bit hungry he yowls and weaves, yowls and weaves. We've stopped free range feeding, and started sceduled feedings, so there is A LOT of yowling and weaving
    Runt: loves to nibble fingers in the middle of the night. He doesn't want anything, just wants to nibble fingers
    Piggy: likes to find the highest spot available, and doesn't care what she knocks over/off to get there.
    Sky: loves to open ANY door she can get her paws on
    Beth: reaches out and "grabs" you when she wants your attention
    Lyle, Runt, and Piggy both love to "help" you write by grabbing and chewing on the end of the pen/pencil
    Phoebe(CH baby) is an angel and can do no wrong
    Too many pets? What's that?

    I.LOVE.MY.CATS. LOL! This one little trick of Pinot's might send me over the edge!!!

    I love reading everyone's quirky cat issues. Cats...love them, love their faults.

    I just smiled at Monte this am....and thought of some of you going through your own things.

    I used to have these on the back of my doors but when I painted I decided to take them off. I'm so glad that I did because I'd hate for my cats to do what Pinot does to you.

    I thought of a few more things. When my cats scarf and barf and they always seem to do it on the carpet or rug. When Ziggy dunks one of her toys in the water dish. The other morning she dunked a catnip mouse and it turned the water a greenish/brown color. I guess she was trying to make catnip tea.

    I do love my cats, the entire Fur Posse BUT I do get tired of finding dingleberries, usually in the dining room yet. Ugh! It's almost always from Specs b/c he has such long hair and one gets caught in his fur.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    4:30 AM, I hear what sounds like a very small gasoline lawn mower and get a blast of cat food breath. If I don't get up right away, the head bumps and sandpaper-tongue facial start. I've got an automatic feeder now, so I have NO idea why Don Juan thinks he needs me with him to have his breakfast. Sigh.
