Peek A Boo Kitties

[purrley]

they know what they want and they get what they want

I also remember a time when Ritz wiggled her way under a big bath towel that was on the floor. We were having morning coffee and this "green terry cloth ghost" came ambling into the room.....silly kitty

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oh my! Ritzie is such a smart kitty! And she wants to be near her mom and help her mom work. Isn't that sweet.

Terry works from home quite often, and Peanut can't wait to run up the stairs and go to work with him. She'll lay near him the whole time he's at his desk - except for maybe an hour or so when she disappears and it's serious naptime.

Ritz was probably happy in the window for a bit, but then it became serious naptime and she wanted something a little more safe, secure and closer to mom.

I'm always amazed and how smart kitties are.

here's a pic of Muffin peeking out of the kitty tree.

LOL....genius is a stretch - for every one of these moments, she has others....she will get into the bathroom by shoving her girth against the door, but if it is partially shut once she is inside (still open about an inch) she cannot for the life of her figure out how to make the door go the other way....she just keeps pushing on it, and gets this confused look when it doesn't do her bidding.

Ritz is, however, one of the most "in tune" cats with which I've ever shared my home. I think it is because we got her as a newly weaned kitten and we have no other cats - and we interact with her constantly. She isn't clingy, but does follow us from room to room. When the phone rings, she goes over and puts her paws on it, then meows between rings until it's answered...greets us at the door, and puts her two front paws up when she wants to be held. (come to think of it, all of this has more to do with the human being obvservant enough to read the signals, not the cat being smart enough to send them)

So, as purrley said, they know what they want and they get what they want...probably their most intelligent effort is knowing when to con the "big hairless biped cats" into doing it for them.

LOL LOL I got a chuckle out of this topic!! I swear cats do things like this on purpose because they KNOW it's cute and that it will drive us nuts! LOL
Here's one of Marius playing Hide-N-Seek...

LOL I agree! Sometimes (more like usually) when we're having dinner, Peanut will saunter into the livingroom (where we can still see her) and roll over on her back and tuck her front legs in, leaving her tummy hanging out, looking at us upside down. I swear it's her way of saying "See how cute I am and how empty my poor tummy is? Can't you give me just one little tidbit?"

Needless to say her daddy sometimes (more like usually) falls for it.

Oh, yeah, I can relate!

Tuxlover's story about Ritz in her home/office reminded me of this picture of Freckles.

[AmberLee]

I was looking at your office photo wondering why you had posted it when I saw Freckles. I actually jumped out of my chair and yelped. What a surprise! Great photo. What a clever little cubbyhole finder your sweetie is.

Heh, heh, heh!

QUOTE FROM T&P'S MOM...Ritz was probably happy in the window for a bit, but then it became serious naptime and she wanted something a little more safe, secure and closer to mom.

SERIOUS nap time! See pic from this morning....

MOM PUULLEEASE, put that flash away, I'm trying to sleep!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Yep, that looks pretty serious!

Sometimes Tubby sleeps so sound that not only will he not respond when I talk to him, he won't even budge when I touch him! And he always acknowledges my touch either by lifting his head, flipping his tail or making that little sound in his throat. That's when I like to get him to give him his daily pill. That way it's down his throat before he even knows what's going on. Then he just gives me this look like "What do you want?" and puts his head back down.

I forgot who said it earlier, but "silly kitty" explains soooo much.

Yes, ritz sleeps like the dead sometimes too----can't rouse her and you are right, normally even the lightest touch elicits a little "trill"....

You can't tell from the picture because she is mostly black, but her paw is over her mouth and face.....like "go away"...a lot of times she will stretch and change positions in sleep, then takes both front paws and puts them over her face...I can never quite catchit on camera.....

I should probably stop posting - this website is starting to look like Ritzysdomain.com don't want to wear out my welcome.
