My cats have lost their minds
We've been in the new place for almost a month, and at first the furbabies were scared of the stairs. They were used to one level living, and now there are three (counting the basement). Bear and Dora are currently ripping up and down the stairs, pouncing one another at the top and bottom. They sound like a herd of cattle on the stairs...not like the light-footed kitties they normally are.

Edited on Sun Aug-27-06 11:42 PM by Skittles
my cat Riff Raff dumps stuff in his water bowl every day - here is a sample of his artwork:



by the way that is one of his toy mice

9. It's nice
I enjoy the sound of the water...sort of like the sound of a mini waterfall. :)

4. Ha!
My Scribbles was a water kitty...she'd take my scrunchies for my hair and I'd find them bloated and floating in the water dish.

8. OK I will give it up
usually it is cat toys, and very often stuff he drags out of my purse. But a couple weeks ago I came home from work to find a bra - yes, a bra he had apparently fished out of the laundry - in the water bowl. There was no water left, just a soaked undergarment. I held it up and was yelling WHAT IS THIS? WTF IS THIS? I sounded like Gunnery Sergeant Hartman - just ridiculous. :o

10. Bear used to paw open my drawer and get my panties
and run through the house with them. I'd come home from work and find them hidden everywhere. At least THAT stopped!

12. LOL! To be fair to Riff Raff, you should show what your bra looks like...

(Fish out of water?)

6. They are doing great in the new place
I just wish they'd do this during the day when the neighbors are at work. We're in a townhouse, and they have got to be able to hear that next door. I think they're enjoying the nice cool air from the open windows too...gets them energized!

13. Your cats HAD minds??? Wow....
Ours have been that way since day one. They don't have brains, they have random number generators that give them new directions every time they conk their heads. We figure they can see into the second dimension, where there are flat creatures. They seem to chase flatties all the time. Usually at 3 in the morning.

Glad they're having fun!!

14. Yes they do!
Sure, they romp and play, but they were really going earlier...hadn't seen that since the kitten days!

16. No, you're wrong. All cats are insane.
That's why they're so adorable!

What you should've said is that your kitties are more insane than usual. It doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, but it's certainly more accurate.
