1. So Ginsberg has been trying to kill me for the last week?

Well, it has been slow going on the mouse hunting for him.

[alfredo]

2. Not all cats are competent.

[DS1]

3. That was exactly my cat a few nights ago

and boy, did he get the boot on his way out the door

[Brewman_Jax]

4. This one gets it...

:rofl:

[alfredo]

5. Our cat went mental over a zither. It would pluck a string then attack

the sound hole.

6. There's nothing like waking up to a warm kitty sleeping on your chest...

then realizing it's his butt that is closest to your face.

[alfredo]

7. Our cat was sleeping on my wife's chest and had one of those freak outs

cats have some time. It peeled out across her face. It cut her eyelid. At first we thought my wife's eye was damaged, but the claw didn't penetrate the eyelid.

Another time my wife was taking a bath and the cat was very concerned. It would sit on a chair next to the tub and meow. When my wife submerged herself to rinse her hair, the cat jumped into the tub with her. My wife was scratched up something awful. The cat was not amused either.

We tried to keep the cat out of the bathroom when were taking a bath or showering, but it would go completely mental on us. She would howl and jump up against the door. She attacked my leg when I stepped out of the shower. No telling what she thought it was.

8. Our girl kitties don't like each other.

About a month ago while I was away on business, one chased the other across our bed in the middle of the night. Right over hubby's face. Both of them. He was not seriously hurt but he was very freaked out and scratched up.

Your cat has H2O issues. Don't you wish you could hear her thoughts?

[alfredo]

9. The kitties are working out their pecking order.

My cat is not with us anymore. She passed at age 22.

[redwitch]

10. She was beautiful!

And 22 is a good long life for a kitty.

[alfredo]

12. When her time came, she cried this mournful cry to be let out.

We never saw her again.

She was beautiful and hell on wheels. She never got over nine lbs, but thought she was a tiger.

[redwitch]

19. that is so sad.

:cry:

[alfredo]

20. We knew we wouldn't see her again. She'd been going down hill

for some time. On the last day she'd ask to go outside, then come back in, and wouldn't go upstairs, but went to the basement and slept on some soft fabric we put down for her there. We sat by all that day, doing what we could to make her comfortable. And finally she made her last exit.

[redwitch]

21. They are such wonderful companions, each unique.

They leave a big hole when they go.

[alfredo]

23. She left other holes as you will see in post #22

11. I had a cat named Alfredo

maybe you're his reincarnation.

[alfredo]

13. Would that be a move up or down for a cat?

[harmonicon]

14. *shrug*

[alfredo]

15. bush will come back as a shopworn hairpiece.

[harmonicon]

16. what has he done to deserve to move up in the world?

[alfredo]

17. Gentlemen's C.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

18. I'm sorry your wife was scratched up...

but I have to admit that the thought of a cat diving into a tub of water, especially to rescue her people, is not only touching...it's a hoot!

[alfredo]

22. Yeah, it is funny now. The cat was so protective of us. She charged

a rottweiller and backed it off. It wasn't a young one either. It was an adult male. She absolutely tore up our sister's yellow Lab. That poor dog didn't know what hit her.

We had to take care of the dog for the day for our sister. Our cat wouldn't have any of that. We had to keep her outside. Even then she was trying to get through the windows to get at the dog.
When we had to take the dog for a walk. We had to take the dog to the back door, and I'd open the front. That worked.


For a while.


My wife was taking the dog out the back. I opened the front door to let our cat in. She came right to the door, then turned and ran around to the back door. She caught up to my wife and the dog in the back yard. The cat hit that dog with a few good whacks to the snout. the dog tried to get away, but my wife didn't let go of the leash. All the dog could do is run around in circles. My wife was in the middle spinning around, holding on for dear life. The lab was yelping, my wife was yelling at me to do something, and the cat, she was out for blood. I was laughing and chasing the cat, trying to get it to stop its attack. I knocked the cat down and got between her and the dog. There was no way I was going to try to pick up the cat. All I could do is try to block her.

The dog was scratched up and shaken. Still our cat kept guard at the window, waiting for round two.

[redwitch]

27. That is very funny! The poor dog!

We had a cat that was very protective of our boys, especially our oldest son. When he was a toddler he wnet running down our driveway towards a nasty schnauser owned by an old lady who lived down the street. SHe was standing at the bottom of our driveway with this horrible dog on a leash. It was baring it's teeth and snarling. I went running to grab my baby and I heard this wierd and awful sound next to me. It was our MooCat, running beside me puffed up as big as she could get, hissing and spitting, she looked scary! I grabbed my son before he could reach the schnauser and MooCat peeled off and dove under the car. Boy, that schnauser was lucky that day! I really believe she would have battled to the death for that baby. Normally she was afraid of almost everything but for her little boy she was SuperCat.

[alfredo]

29. Ours was unafraid of any dog or opossum. Neighbors took to

crossing the street when walking their dogs past our house. Kids loved her. She really loved young girls. Young boys didn't come near. I was the only male she tolerated.

[allalone]

25. that move is what started my calling her stinky butt

the post about waqking up with a cat butt pointed at you.
my granddaughter had a kitten that had very bad gas all the time and our
plan was, if a burgler got in we would point his butt at him and squeeze a little

[GoddessOfGuinness]

26. That'd get them running!

:rofl:

[allalone]

24. oh that's funny! I've wondered about that.

[alfredo]

28. When our cat would climb the window screens my wife would refer to

her as the "personification of evil."

[redwitch]

30. Shouldn't that be the "catification" of evil?

:shrug:


Isn't catification a great new word? I shall have to find ways to use it frequently!

[alfredo]

31. Yes. We need to find the correct definition of catification.

A shredded sofa arm could be an example of catification.
