Am I the only one who does silly dances in front of my cats?

[Hissyspit]

...just to confuse/annoy them & entertain myself, as they watch bemused?

[Random_Australian]

1. Yes.

[Hissyspit]

2. Liar.

Anyway, I need a larger statistical sample.

[Random_Australian]

4. I do not lie. Here are your statistics:

Based on a survey of 7,000,000 people, the result was:

Yes: 0%
No: 100%

I'm guessing you didn't get that survey? I heard no-one in your neighborhood did.

[Hissyspit]

6. Ha! I don't live in a neighborhood. I am in the middle of nowhere, so

your math is flawed.

[Random_Australian]

8. Not my math, just my guess at where you where.

By Aussie atandards, you are very probably not in the middle of nowhere.

If you had a hill and stood on it, could you see your neighbors houses?

[Hissyspit]

10. LOL That's a trick question, isn't it?

I do remember that when we took the train ride to the Blue Mountains from Sydney, it took FOREVER it seemed and I thought it was just up the road.

[Random_Australian]

12. LOL! No it isn't! BWAHAHAHAHAA!

And the mountains? It IS just up the road in our terms! Pshht! Americans!

[Heidi]

3. Not all cats are amused.

:rofl:

[Hissyspit]

5. Yikes! Tough audience.

Everyone's a critic.

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. Agreed...

[riona]

15. Siamese do tend to be self-centered

and a bit too smart for their owner's good. Wait, with Siamese, they own YOU, not the other way around.

[Heidi]

17. Hi, flblu2!

That was Barley, my sister-in-law's cat and the brother of our cat, The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger. Barley is amused with little except eating. Have you seen this photo of Barley, begging at my patio door? (He and Ginger aren't really Siamese; they just _think_ they are. ;) )


Barley, the little begger

(This thread has now been officially kitty-jacked. :evilgrin: )

[redwitch]

19. Ginger has THUMBS?

I never noticed that before. Be very, very careful what you leave laying around, he is DANGEROUS!


:-)

[riona]

20. Gee I miss having a cat

Can't convince my husband - yet. Food does interest the little furry darlings - particularly shrimp.

[NJCher]

45. How could one resist Barley?

Barley would get anything he wanted at my house.

Oh man, is that an amusing kitty pic.

9. Yes, WTF is wrong with you?

:P









































:hide:

[Hissyspit]

11. I sing silly songs at them, too.

[Random_Australian]

13. Oh no, that was not a kick now was it?

;)

(kidding)

[Hissyspit]

14. I just forgot to put that in the original post. THIS is a kick.

:P

[Random_Australian]

16. I knew you were going to do that. And I know what you are about to

do, so don't do it.

[laheina]

41. I admit it!

I make up silly songs to sing to my cat *and* do silly dances for my cat and dogs.

Maybe they aren't amused, but I am. :shrug:

[Hissyspit]

42. I knew I wasn't the only one...

[In_The_Wind]

18. I do silly dances for my parrot.

She loves it! Miss Frodo gets right into the spirit of things with me. :)

[kedrys]

21. From time to time

Sometimes I'll pick one up and dance, and kitty invariably gets frosted because I won't let him/her lead. :P

[fizzgig]

33. yup

damn cats think they can lead...

[kedrys]

44. Oh, they do in everything else

But until their feet touch the floor when we dance, I'll lead, thank you very much. :rofl:

[yellowdogintexas]

22. my husband is more inclined to do silly dances, I tend to sing

them silly songs.

They just like that we are paying them attention.

[peekaloo]

23. I make THEM do silly dances.

for my amusement. I call it the "airplane ear shuffle" although it's closer to the pony or a shimmy shake.

}(

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

47. I would like to see the "airplane ear shuffle."

We always used to call it "airplane ears" when our cats folded their ears down so they stuck out horizontally. This was usually an indication the cat was annoyed, so may I assume this is a dance that you make them do to piss them off? :)

[mockmonkey]

24. Was it...

the Buffalo Bill/Silence of the Lambs dance?

[Seabiscuit]

25. Yes.

'nuff said.

[Hissyspit]

26. You have already been proven wrong by at least a couple of posters.

[amitten]

27. No. n/t

[Duer 157099]

28. OK, I have a question:

Do you really not know if there are other people doing silly dances in front of your cats?

[Hissyspit]

35. No, but I have my suspicions...

And if they are doing it, they'd better stop. I have set up videotape surveillance equipment.

[BikeWriter]

38. You'll never catch me, BWA HA HA!

:diabolicollaughter:

[Hissyspit]

39. The dreaded Stealth Cat Dancer!

>shuddder<

[BikeWriter]

40. ...

[LostinVA]

29. No.... and, one of mine dances with me

[NMMNG]

30. I used to do that

Now I mainly talk silly and occasionally crawl/roll around on the floor.

[Floogeldy]

31. Is the question limited to your cats, or the cats of others?

I did not dance in front of your cats. Where do you get off accusing me of this? You think I am a burglar? Bullshit! I have NEVER, I repeat, NEVER been in your house dancing in front of your cats.

How could I? I only know tap dance and, believe me, you would have heard it. ;)

[BikeWriter]

32. I have never done any sort of dance in front of your cats.

[Floogeldy]

34. BADA PING

Great minds.

[Hissyspit]

36. Great minds need to see post #35.

[BikeWriter]

37. Thank you for the applause!

:toast:

[MnFats]

43. in front of YOUR cats, yes. My cats are a adifferent story.

wait, I have no cats at the moment.
i am a cat lover, though.
family had 11 for a time when i was a kid.
pretty bizarre situation, that.

[Bucky]

46. No. You are crazy.

sorry, but someone had to say it.
