Why does it take cats an HOUR to sit down?

[Placebo]

I mean, how many bloody times can you walk around in circles on my lap, kitty??? It ain't changing shape or moving! And then they just sit down in any 'ol spot after all of that. I mean really.

1. I know.

They are moody, picky-ass little shits. Ok, mine is anyway.

She sat in the same spot on our bed for like NINE straight hours today, then when Her Highness condescended to be with us, she walked around all pissed off because my lap wouldn't conform to her standards.

[Placebo]

2. Exactly.

7. hey BB

my cat was asleep on my bed as I was getting ready for work. Suspecting he never freaking moves sometimes when I am gone, I planted a sock on him. Sure enough, when I returned from work TEN HOURS LATER that damn sock was still on him. GET UP I SAID and I slid him off the bed. He jumped back up, did that classic cat arch-back stretch thing, then promptly laid down and went right back to sleep. :O

8. OMG that's hilarious.

They are some lazy ass bastards aren't they? I swear mine didn't move all freaking day.

9. I remember my vet advising me my cat would need to "take it easy"

IF HE TOOK IT ANY EASIER I'D HAVE TO GET HIM STUFFED.

19. Lazy kitty!

:P

20. I think felines sleep 16-18 hours a day by nature; hey they gotta

preserve their energy

3. You're the lap. Be the lap. Accept your role. Don't question.

[jdots]

4. they must have evrything perfect to sit down

then they get up and move on,come back do circles for an hour,sit down-get up. If cats had shrinks they would come up with alot of names for it and drugs for them to take.Your cat could have acute circle disorder,A.C.D. can be cured with cat nip and a ball of yarn under a doctor's supervision.

5. HaHa!

The last thing I need is my cat on any type of "treatment" :P

[Skittles]

6. yet it's strange

how sometimes you can be watching TV and all the sudden realize your cat is sitting on you - and you don't remember him planting himself there . . . .

10. On the other hand...

...I can always tell when one of our cats is making herself comfortable on my husband's lap when I hear him say, "Will you stop dancing on my nuts!"

13. bwaaa-haa-haaa

year ago, a co-worker had adopted a kitten. The kitten decided he liked to sleep with them.

One night husband thought wife was getting amorous in the middle of the night... Wife woke up to hear husband saying "ohhh, that's a nice surprise"

Wife said - "what nice surprise? what are you talking about?"

silence. covers flew off and lights went on -- kitten was gently purring and licking Mr. Petey...

17. i just read this post outloud

to my husband and he said "OW! cats have really rough tongues!"

[Skittles]

22. he must have a REAL wooden one

cats' tongues are like freaking sandpaper

11. It's instinct.

You never know when there might be a Bush, Cheney, or a Rumsfeld in the grass (a snake would be less dangerous), but cats have to check the ground very carefully before they plant themselves. No telling how long they might be there.

21. cats don't like snakes and will try to kill them; in the wild they

will sleep in areas where snakes probably also go for shelter. So they have to check their beds carefully

12. our Grande Dame (Kudra)

(19 yrs old) prefers to stand on your chest focusing her entire 10lb weight on one tiny spot -- ouchy

eventually she'll settle her whole body on my chest and go to sleep.

Her other favorite spot is to lay on the scanner, with her head under the desk lamp. We had name this the feline tanning booth...

Gato (aka cat-zilla) just likes to nestle down between two warm bodies, and grab a hand for a belly rub -- he's quite insistent....

the other two like to spoon behind the knees

[yellowdogintexas]

16. I have a CatZilla too! He is king of the belly rub, it just hyptonizes

him. My daughter calls it the belly mojo

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

14. He's softening you up.

You know, kinda like when people beat their pillows before going to bed.

15. I was over at my sisters' yesterday

She got my niece a pair of Nike Air Something-or-others for Xmas.

The cat found the perfect spot - inside the shoebox.

[nicolemrw]

18. and they always managed to step on tender bits.

"get your claws out of my tit, cat!"

[jellybelly]

23. because...

if you weren't going to move for 12 hours straight you should at least spend one hour finding a comfy spot.

Or maybe you're not fluffy enough.

24. What kind of cats are you talking about?!

I have had three cats, in my life, and I can picture them running, chasing a kitty toy, batting at each other, jumping up to look out the window, stalking my dog, stepping all over me while I was trying to sleep, but sitting?! Not mine! Where do you find these cats, anyway?!:shrug:
