Cat nesting behavior

[kedrys]

That's when you know you have to shovel your desk: one of your cats actually nests in a pile and takes a bath.



:P

1. hey, that's normal, the cat is really a paperweight.

Usually curled up under the lamp for the heat it provides.

The cat prevents sudden gales from blowing away the papers on my desk.

[kedrys]

2. She likes to hang out nearby and bless the works

but she usually sleeps under my desk, not on it... :D

[kwassa]

3. One of ours lives on my wife's desk

and can often be seen in a deep embrace with the telephone.

18. One of mine has a thing going on with the remote control.

And she gets really pissy if I try to "borrow" it from her, while she's using it as a pillow. :)

4. Hmm, where have I seen that before...oh yeah...

on MY desk. If I am working, Pooky just has to sit right on the papers that I am grading and stare at me. He isn't hungry or thirsty, just being a cat. If I lift him to grab the next paper, he gives out this really plaintive meow and gives me the saddest look he can conjure up. I guess it is his way of letting me know that I should be playing (or napping) with him instead of working.

10. Mine know to either park under the desk when I'm working

or go lie down near the printer, in the only vaguely paperless spot :D. Evie just decided that if she couldn't be in my lap, she was going to park right there.

She passed out eventually. :loveya:

5. If I'm ever lonely all I have to do is open a book either sitting

down or laying in bed and *FLASH* there's a cat laying right over the pages.

Kind of like sparking up a joint and suddenly there's 2 friends at your door.

6. My cats do this too

Both my cats do this all the time when I'm working. The older cat is heavier and likes to sleep on my mousepad or keyboard. Here's a pic of him doing this:

9. Meta-cat!

That is soooo cool! Kitty sleeping on keyboard of computer showing him sleeping on mouse. :loveya:

7. OMG, that is SO cute.........

......I'm going to be getting me a cat in a few months and I can't hardly wait. :hug:

[kedrys]

8. Get two!

That way they'll keep each other company when you're not around. :)

Of our 7 cats, three are litter mates, and three are dad-son-daughter. The only one who's not related to any of the other cats is my oldest.

[phgnome]

15. Yeah, cats are social creatures

Our older cat changed and became a lot more engaging when we got a kitten. They're both males.

I've heard some stories about cats not getting along though. It was after we got our kitten I heard this. From what I gather, it doesn't really work out with a male and a female cat. Female cats have a tendancy to be very territorial and bossy and will likely pick on male cats.

Luckily, it worked out with our cats. They wrestle everyday and our older cat (who's 12) has become a lot more active and engaging. I think the older cat was very lonely. My fiance lived with the cat by himself for years and when I moved in with him, the older one wasn't so engaging. But as soon as we got the kitten, they became best friends and they play together all the time now.

11. Cool.

:)

12. At least it wasn't Socrates...

He's twice his sister's size. I don't think he *fits* on my desk. :D

[yellowdogintexas]

13. The cat always knows the most important piece of paper to

park on, too. Always.

I also have the instant company when I settle down to read. Sitting behind the book is no good, has to be in front of the printed page. Just reminding you who runs the house after all.

And they always get on the clean laurdry you are trying to fold.

[kedrys]

14. For some reason, I didn't need anything she was lying on

I did have to nudge the pile away slightly so I'd have space to type, though. :D

16. Cats and paper...

Junk mail is ignored.

Whatever you are reading gets sat on.

Tax forms that you just finished working 12 hours straight completing, get reduced to confetti. :D

17. You've noticed that too eh?

Quinn just likes to sit there and purr, unless I'm playing a game, in which case he stands up in front of the monitor at any "critical" time, thus getting me killed and forcing me to start over :P

[kedrys]

19. The Mighty Quinn graces my thread!

Thank you, thank you kindly. :loveya:

[ET Awful]

20. No, thank YOU for providing a place for him to show himself off

:P

[Kat45]

21. Quinn's a real beauty!

He's gone from an impossibly cute kitten to a beautiful cat. Looks like he's taking up most of the desk too. :-)

[ET Awful]

24. Yup, when he wants to be on the desk, he wants to be on the WHOLE desk

:P

22. Check this out! The most unusual place yet...

:eyes:

[bertha katzenengel]

25. You should send that to catsinsinks.com

that one is perfect. :hi:

seriously . . . www.catsinsinks.com <---

[Shine]

27. LOL! OMG, that's funny! never heard of that site before. Who knew?

:rofl: thanks, I'll do it!

:hi:

[kedrys]

26. Socrates sleeps in the sink sometimes

but he's always gone by the time I get the camera. I'll try to snag him. :)

[rug]

23. Cats can look comfortable on broken glass.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

28. My cat Midnight does that too.

She will decide to sleep on whatever you need currently and get really possesive of it. Obviously, she's all black like your cat too.

Midnight just has this stare. She is the supreme dominant animal and she will stare everything and everyone down without fear. Apparently, today my stepdad (not a catlover) knocked her into the toilet while she was drinking. He's now kind of scared of her because he said she just climbed out and sat down staring and hissing until he left the bathroom. Midnight will get him in the night. She does not realize she is 8.5lbs. She thinks she is 200lbs and she wins. Always. That's why she wears a black leather spiked collar.

29. How did you get a picture of my desk?

[kedrys]

30. It's an art installation in progress

I took pictures of the desk (minus the kitty) so that if I ever shovel the damn thing, I'll have proof that, er, it was as bad as it was.

Does your desk have cats too?

[applegrove]

31. On occassion. When I type something wrong - it was the cat! Okay?
