Cat check!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

Where are your cats right now?

Milo and Jeoffry are sleeping in a heap on top of the refrigerator. Pixie is in another dimension for the time being, but she'll turn up as soon as I open the cat food bag.

What are yours doing?

[cloudbase]

1. Having a snooze on the wing chair. n/t

[DS1]

2. Mine's out

no doubt keep his turf clear of other cats

[TZ]

3. Smokie's in her catbed

Sophie's meowing at shadows on the ceiling. Typical evening in the house....

[Skittles]

4. they are sacked out on my bed

[kedrys]

5. Cat location update

Imhotep: picketing (loudly) for dinner while I'm typing this
Neutrino: in my spot on the couch watching BeerFest with the s.o.
Quark: following Imhotep for no ostensible reason since he's already had dinner
Evie: passed out on top of the kitty tower
Plato: passed out flat on his back in the master bedroom
Socrates: passed out flat on his back at the other end of the master bedroom

That is all. :P

[caty]

Miss Kitty

is upstairs keeping an eye on the backyard from her perch at the back window.

[Ikonoklast]

6. Jeff is on the kitchen counter playing with the dripping faucet

A favorite past-time. His brother Mutt-Mutt is sitting on the hassock across from me, watching out the sliding glass door, mostly watching for his mother, who is feral and lives under our deck.

Momma Cat is very friendly, but absolutely refuses to come in the house, but visits all the time for free food and a good rub-up.

Marble, my sons' little Tuxedo female is curled up sleeping on his bed, waiting for him to come home from work (he is a cook at Olive Garden.....go ahead, I'll wait). She is a ferocious little thing, and brooks nonsense from no one.

And our old tom Hobbes, who's slowly fading by degrees, is curled up in the front room on the back top of a chair with a good window angle for watching the drive for my son, who he loves beyond all reasoning.

He is all black, and has been my second oldest' shadow for fourteen years. Wherever he goes, Hobbes is right next to him.

Always.

[fizzgig]

7. mira is picking at the food bowl

mia is staring into my roommate's room, his cat is likely curled up on his bed

[intaglio]

8. Poppet on the sofa with her socks

Pen on the other computer chair

[GoddessOfGuinness]

9. Next to the crock pot...

which is still a little warm from BBQ pork.

[FloridaJudy]

10. Out in a blizzard, mewing outside a neighbor's door...

Just kidding. Fast asleep in the middle of my latest sewing project last time I checked.

Oops, she must be psychic. She just plunked her furry butt down on my feet.

[lizerdbits]

11. Still hovering in the kitchen

Since I just made beef stew. Maybe some will walk out of the refrigerator so he can eat it and avoid starving to death.

[TZ]

12. lol

I described my cats as having black holes for stomach. No matter how much foodstuff is added more is ALWAYS needed....:rofl:

[lizerdbits]

13. You've seen Max

so you know how emaciated he is. Poor thing is only 13 lbs! Call the SPCA!

[RoyGBiv]

14. Franky ...

... is laying on a storage tub next to my computer. Of course, he is there because he knows I will be needing something out of it in the next few minutes. Yes, ears just perked. He knows I'm thinking of pushing him off. Yeah, now he's looking at me all "oh don't you even think about it" like.

[BuelahWitch]

15. Baby cat is in bed sleeping on her new blankie

CVS was having a sale on fleece throws, so I got her a pink one for Valentines Day. :loveya:

[deucemagnet]

16. Well, let's see...

Scooter: Keeping an eye on me from under a bed.
Wanda: Out prowling for small rodents.

[applegrove]

17. After attacking me earlier today because I interfeared in his game of catch

with Twilight, Monster the cat is happily sitting on the arm of my chair and purring .... no doubt glad to have been released from a time out in the bathroom.

[Pied Piper]

22. "Time out" - I love it!

I thought I was the only one who used that phrase. Miranda is the naughtier of my two. She likes to wake me up in the middle of the night by jumping on the nightstand and scratching on the mirror. After two warnings, she gets a time out, which involves me chasing her around the apartment until I can catch her. Last time, she didn't run at all - I think she likes the quiet privacy of the bathroom in the middle of the night. 20 minutes usually does the trick, then she behaves until next time.

[applegrove]

27. Mine got more than 20 minutes. Let's just say I gave up after 40 minutes cause I

had to use the facilities. But it worked. Monster's anger was gone and my scratches had begun to heal. I tell ya - I love that guy. 99% of the time he is a lovebug.

[sazemisery]

18. Lego all stretched out

[eppur_se_muova]

36. Lego seems a tad, uh, large .... got any numbers to shock us with? nt

[sazemisery]

41. Lego is a mere 18 lbs

He is a Norwegian Forrest Cat. My son rescued him from the vet office where he worked. Lego's previous owners couldn't keep him and had decided to have him put to sleep. :mad:

You can actually feel his rib cage and he has no fatty deposits like you normally see on overweight cats.

He is the Dark Overlord here and keeps the 80 lb. Labrador, Nixon, in check at all times.

[huskerlaw]

19. They're all in the living room...

Riley and I just went for a "walk," so the other two are busy sniffing him, trying to figure out exactly where he's been and what he touched.

A little background: I have three VERY indoor cats. But Riley lived with me back in Nebraska and I lived in an area that was conducive to cat walks. Here in L.A., not so much, but every once in a while, Riley insists upon going outside. I live on a quiet, dead-end residential street, so I humor him occasionally. For "cat walks," I strap him up in his harness, hook on a leash and take him out to the front yard. Today is extremely nice...sunny and about 80, so I took along a book for myself. He lasted all of 10 minutes. One person walked past. Just walked, mind you...on the sidewalk past our yard...and he completely flipped his shit. Back indoors we went.

But now the other cats are highly confused by his earthy smell! :rofl:

[Orsino]

20. Wandering.

Two are still soaking up rays in the kitchen, I think. Another has finally given up on getting into my lap, and the old boy I thought had retired upstairs just came cruising by.

[hermetic]

21. Oddly enough,

After I started reading this thread, my furfriend just jumped into her chair by the computer and started staring at the screen. And then at me. I think she heard you.

[Codeine]

23. Sleeping, as usual.

He's curled up on his blankie with his hands over his eyes against the mean old sun.

[mike_c]

24. Grendel is on the desk getting in my way...

...Maxwell is asleep on my bed, Mango and Murphy are in the back yard. Grendel is now laying on the (computer) mouse.

[triguy46]

25. Don't know just this second, but 15 minutes ago...

They were sitting side by side staring at me through the sliding glass doors, wishing my wife would give them a can of food. They never come inside, so our contact is of a more distant nature.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

26. Monty is having a bite to eat

I hear Sunny in the litter box. Morrissey just ran downstairs and is saying hello to all! He just jumped up next to me on the kitchen island and is ready for his petting session. Oh wait - Sunny is strolling across the kitchen counter. Yes, things are out of control in our cathouse!

[hippywife]

28. Upstairs

lying in wait for me to come to bed later. As soon as I start up the stairs, she starts meowing incessantly waiting for me to get in bed. If I stop half way up the steps, she'll just keep meowing and meowing as she heads for the bed to wait for me. She knows it's time for snuggles and scritches. I think she thinks I can scritch all night long!

[quip]

29. They are on the couch on blankets camped out right in front of the fireplace.

Smart little kittehs! :hi:

[sakabatou]

30. Yo-yo's on a chair in the dining room

[Kajsa]

31. Mine are about to come in.

They got a late afternoon Frontline Plus
treatment so out they went for about an hour.
The weather got very warm here, just recently.

But they are getting hungry, so they'll be back
within the next half hour.

:D

[hippywife]

32. ...

[KitchenWitch]

33. My cats are totally hiding out

The short hair is upstairs (in my daughter's room). The long hair is downstairs under the loveseat in the family room.

No photos yet. They went into hiding the moment we got them out of their crates.

[Arugula Latte]

34. Two on the guest room bed ... One in her kitty bed in the living room.

Kitties ... :loveya:

[NC_Nurse]

35. Sleeping on the guest bed.

They have that room to themselves except when my two college
kids come home. :-)

[unsavedtrash]

37. Truman and Tucker are sleeping in the kid's chair. (They are in smitten with the boy)

Pratt is in the living room in her favorite rocker, and Butler is off sulking because I made her get off the stove.

[enigmatic]

38. sleeping on my jeans

in the bedroom..

[Mugu]

39. All my kitties live outside in the barn.

I built each of them a heated and an unheated house up off of the floor. Most nights they are in the unheated houses, but tonight I'm going to guess that they are all in the heated ones.

Regards, Mugu

[lligrd]

40. Judging From The Sharp Pain I Just Felt On My Back

I'd say she is right behind me. What is it about typing on DU that makes her think I am game waiting to be pounced on?

[meow2u3]

42. My cats are in the laundry room

Ruby- on top of the washer
Onyx - on top of the water heater (she's 10 weeks old and has grown enough to jump out of danger)

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

43. Right. Like I could ever get my cat to pick up the check...

What a freeloader she is!!

Darned good thing she's cuddly and adorable, or out she'd go!

[Qanisqineq]

44. one of my cats is modeling his new duds

He had surgery and kept ripping apart the bandage (and his stitches) so now he has a sweater over his stitches until he gets them out. He likes it better than the bandage but spends too much time licking it.



The other cats, they are sleeping.
