I love my cat(s) BUT....

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.

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!

Oh this just makes me smile.

I've often used the phrase "It's a good thing you are cute Nutmeg, because you are cruisin.." Nutmeg thinks it's really neat to howl in the middle of the night. She goes to a corner of the room, faces it, looks up and lets out a mightly "MROW!" I have a bachelor apartment so it's not like I can lock her out of my "bedroom" and my apartment is so old I'm always afraid that someone can hear her. It's very irritating. I've even started coming home from work and keeping her awake until bedtime by constantly talking to her and annoying her while she tries to rest!

Tilly has the stinkiest bum ever. When I take her to the vet I always ask them to check her anal glands and while there is sometimes goop in there, it's never that bad. She just has a really rank butt! Overall though, Tilly is pretty well behaved.

Now Nutmeg is laying on the bed, upsidedown, caramel paws up in the air and grinning at me. This is how she can get away with keeping me up all night!!

My boys do the early-morning-clanking-the-blinds thing, too. Usually on a weekend when I DON'T have to get up. I may have to invest in new window coverings if it doesn't stop!

Sometimes Binky won't cover up his mess in the litterbox; I don't mind pee biscuits, but when he does the "big stinky", he can clear a room in 10 seconds!

But they're my boys and I love them!!!

I thought the "big stinky" was a normal thing Soooo many of ours can clear a room, even when they do cover it up

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

Storm: When he bullies his siblings. I keep telling him that we all know he's the #1 kitty around here.

Sky: When he uses the litter box he has to keep digging and digging and then he'll keep scratching on the sides of the box or the hoods of the covered litter boxes. It makes a lot of noise.

Pearl: When she keeps trying to jump in my lap when I'm on the toilet. I try to bend over and then sometimes she'll jump up on my back. When she wakes up early in the morning and starts howling in my bathroom which makes it echo. When she attacks poor Storm. When she has to be the center of attention at all times.

Ziggy: When she claws at my bedskirt. When she tries to steal poor Sky's food or any other cats food. When she puts up a fight with me and gets all stressed out just because I want to brush her, trim her nails, and brush her teeth.

All in all though they're very good cats and I love them very much.
