    That is wonderful!

    Hmm, can you spoil a cat? Seems to me, cats just assume that they WILL BE treated like ROYALTY and then some. And if they don't get it, well, as we've seen on here, they just may go find themselves another home where the servants don't need so much training, lol.

    Is that how I ended up with 5 cats?

    My answer to your question is twofold.

    1) Yes, you can spoil a cat.

    2) Why would you want to NOT spoil your cat? Or why wouldn't you spoil your cat? I think it's criminal to not spoil a cat.


    Every cat deserves to be spoiled.

    I believe my cats are spoiled. I'm their personal slave. I would never let one of my furkids go hungry because they didn't like a certain food!

    My cats are probably spoiled. They know exactly when treat time is and get quite vocal (and physical) when they're wanting their treats. If I'm on my PC in my office with the door closed, they'll know it's time and start pawing away at the door to let me know.

    My cats are very pampered and spoiled. Luckily they love the food that I feed them too.

    I think that you can NEVER spoil a Cat.

    YOU clean the litter box
    YOU buy the food
    YOU feed them
    YOU groom them

    I have not spoiled my cats.
    They just have me well trained.

    1. Water bowls (4) and fountains (3) must be cleaned and filled every
    morning and evening.
    2. Dry food feeders (6) must be filled every morning and night.
    3. Wet food MUST be served at 5:30am and again at 8pm every day.
    4. I must sit in my chair by 8:30pm so that the loving can start. Demetri has
    too give me 2 kisses on the nose, then Egypt has to give his hugs (head
    bumps) in my neck, this is while Mits has to make bread on my stomach,
    and when there is an opening Lucky has to lay across my chest and
    snuggle in my throat. I have to have the TV volume almost full to hear it
    over the purring.
    5. I must go to bed no later then 11:00pm (I get yelled at by 3-6)
    6. I have to sleep on my left side. Egypt on my head, Mits tucked in the arm
    pit, Penny in the crotch, Lucky behind the rump, Shadow behind the
    knees. That's until Mits
    thinks I'm a sleep then he and Demetri switch places.
    7. I must not move during the night.
    8. I must not get up during the night (we have to start all over)
    9. If I use the bathroom, I must be prepared to scratch and pet the whole
    time and run the vanity water for drinking.
    10. DO NOT miss any of these rules or get snubbed.

    Funny, but so true. There are "sleeping rituals" at my house, too.
    Proud to be a crazy cat lady!

    Cassie here... I agree with Uncle Gill! I am not spoiled; I have my hoomin thoroughly trained!

    Kitties, could you please have your meowmies and pawpies give you some petting, hugs, snuggles, kisses and lovies for us. We are glad you are so loved!! When we count our blessings we count you twice -- Cassie and elyse

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