7. My first cat was an outdoor/indoor cat
and he was exactly like that. :)

He even learned how to use his claws to knock on the door. It used to freak people out when they've be over visiting, hear someone knocking on the door, and I'd tell them it was the cat.

11. I have 7 of the little beasts.
TELL me about it! And what makes it more interesting? Some are all-the-time-inside cats, some are sometimes-inside-and-sometimes-outside cats and some are always-outside-cats. But the ones that are sometimes-inside-and-sometimes-outside cats can go out but only when my Ghost Kittie isn't around.

And Shasta can't be in when the sometimes-inside-sometimes-outside cats are inside.

It gets very complicated. :crazy:

25. So true.
And then they find ways to get revenge, whether it's horking the "unacceptable" food all over your carpet, or using the space under your bed as a litterbox, or destroying a roll of TP and batting the pieces all over the house. Creative little bastards, aren't they?

26. Mine focuses mainly on destroying me.
I can pick him up and pet him for approx 3 to 5 minutes before he attacks and then meows like I hurt him. Then he jumps off me and licks himself, looking at me like I'm a nuisance or "scum of the earth."

6. multiply that by four and you have my dad's house
he's got a cat door and i know they know how to use it but the lazy little furry bastids won't use it if we're in the house

they will sit and stare at us through the back door, giving the occasional piteous meow, while sitting 10 inches from the damn cat door

27. I've seen that face in my dreams.
I'm sure that, to the uninitiated, a cat seems to live it's life with the same self-assured fickleness of an inbred Roman emperor. I think the rest of us, the minions of cats, use rationalizations in order to maintain our sense of self-worth. We're really the ones in charge, right?

They can be exasperating, but I love 'em to pieces.

37. X-ray eyes. All the posts only make me want a kitty of my own...
Question for you. When picking up my dog at the groomers this week,
I noticed they have about 15+ rescue cats all over the office.
While talking to the lady at the desk, paying my bill and looking
around... one beautiful brown & white longhaired cat with blue eyes
kept swiping at my arm. Not play fighting, but definitely "Lady...,
hey lady, HEY LADY!" It was like she chose me. Should I go back and get her?

:shrug:

If she chose you, you should trust her judgement.
You'll make a fine cat-servant!

My guys are indoor cats but I get that same look every morning (weekends including) about 6am when little kitty food alarms go off and I am expected to get up (and of course Sophie "the enforcer" will bop me on top of my head so I must open my eyes to see them)

42. My childhood cat had an effective method
We had those wooden screen doors, with the screen itself on the top half. You know. He would jump up on that screen, making an awful crash, and hang there till someone came to the door. It was pretty funny in the fall, once a year, because he never noticed when we replaced the screen with the glass window until it was too late. We eventually replaced the doors with aluminum ones, and Pepper soon learned to reach out with one claw and twang the screen repeatedly when he was ready to come in. That was pretty annoying.

43. Mine simply throws large ceramic objects at my head while I'm sleeping
Neo gets quite put out if I don't wake up and feed him at his arbitrarily appointed hour. He starts out by standing on me and meow-shouting to try to wake me up. I sleep like the dead, so often this doesn't work. If Mr. Engel is here, he gets up and feeds the beast, and all is a well for another hour or so, when Neo decides it is time for Second Breakfast.

When Mr. Engel is not here, and the meow-shouting has produced no results, Neo jumps up onto the dresser next to the bed and begins throwing things off. Usually, he sticks to the small objects...coins, trinkets, jewelry. (He recently tossed a tiny box of my son's baby teeth onto Mr. Engel's head when he didn't get up quickly enough. We still can't find the teeth.)

But Saturday morning, Neo was apparently beside himself with starvation and frustration at about 6:00 a.m., and moved on to larger and heavier objects. After batting off all of the smaller objects he could find, to no avail, he pushed a large ceramic cat off the side of the dresser. It sounded like he was dropping boulders. This did manage to wake me long enough to swear at the cat and smack him off of the dresser. I then fell asleep again, forcing him to wait several hours for First Breakfast, so I think I won this round. I think.

One sits and stares at me while the other "the enforcer" either bops me on the head with her paw repeatedly or goes down to my feet and repeatedly scratches at them through the comforter. But at least they don't hurl objects at me....:crazy:
