I just bumped into my cat and said "excuse me".

[zanne]

This was pre-coffee, but still...

[datasuspect]

1. as well you should

[littlebit]

2. It happens

girlfriend always laughs at me because I explain to my dogs why I said no.

[zanne]

3. As long as you don't try explaining the electoral college to them...

I think you're all right.

[Perry Logan]

4. Your good manners may have saved your life.

This is the Tribe of Tiger we're talking about.

[Lil Missy]

5. And he/she, still allows you to live there? I'd watch my back if I were you. n/t

[TZ]

6. I always make sure

To make sure I say please and thank you to my feline masters...

[quip]

15. I do, too, but I lace my comments with sarcasm, a higher form of communication that

is lost on animals, proving that humans are THE superior form of life on this planet.










:hide:

16. humph.

You haven't met my girls. They know sarcasm when they hear it. I swear I get a sacastic "mew" after they have run my over as an apology. "Mew" translating into "well why the hell are you lying there in the dark not moving..its playtime you idiot!":rofl:

[zanne]

7. Cats can be insulting, too.

One of my cats wakes me up in the morning by planting her paw squarely on my nose. I mean, I know it protrudes, but really! And do they have to knead my stomach because it's the softest part of me? Sometimes it's just pure sarcasm.

[Pryderi]

8. Uh-oh...don't look now but

;)

[Brigid]

19. I want one of those!

:rofl:

[Lady Freedom]

9. Well, if you bumped in to him/her, then that is was is supposed to be said.

Manners do not stop at the door ya know!

[Brewman_Jax]

10. You have good manners

I say the same thing when my cat bumps into me. :D

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. Why is that strange?

I always say "excuse me," "please," and "thank you" to the cats. After all, they allow me to live in their house; I feel I should be polite to them.

[Lil Missy]

12. I stepped on one of mine a couple weeks ago in the dark of the night..

Of course I immediately lifted my foot, so as not to injure the damned cat, thus lost my balance and fell flat on my face in the dark.

Did I mention I fell HARD?? I broke the bathroom scales with my face! I had to see a Dr and get x-rays. I fractured my hand and my eye orbit, and have had a terrible black eye and cheek.

The cat is fine.

PSA - No animal was harmed in this episode. Do not try this at home.

[skygazer]

13. But did you say "excuse me?"

:P

[Lil Missy]

17. No! I didn't say "excuse me", smart ass!

:P

I said, OH FUCK!!

My mom flew out of bed and turned the lights on because she thought the refrigerator fell over! There was blood everywhere, because I split my eyebrow open when I fell on my face.

I repeat, the cat is fine. Little shit. *grumble*

[raccoon]

14. "Excuse me, Your Majesty," would've been even better. Maybe next time. nt

[KamaAina]

18. Did the cat say "No problem"?

(meow)

[Mutley]

20. My dogs have learned to get out of my way when I say "excuse me."

Otherwise they'll get stepped on, especially pre-coffee. :D

[Cabcere]

21. I say that to my cats and dog sometimes too

although usually it's more of a sarcastic, "Oh, EXCUSE ME (animal's name), was I in your way?" :eyes: :P Sometimes I genuinely apologize to them, though, like if I accidentally step on a paw or tail and hurt them - it happens from time to time, as the combined clumsiness of me and my animals is a force to be reckoned with. :crazy: :P :hi:

[Brigid]

24. "Was I in your way?"

I say that to my cats all the time too! :rofl:

[krispos42]

22. Oh, I do that all the time

When, for example, I have to pick her fluffy butt out of my chair, or, (the horror) I have to get up and pee in the middle of an intense petting session!

[Brigid]

23. One must always . . .

observe all the common courtesies due the ruler of your realm, you know. ;)

[Kitty Herder]

25. I do that all the time. This morning when I got out of bed, I

actually stepped on my cat when my eyes weren't quite open. I apologized profusely and wished she could understand the words. I think she understood the sentiment anyway and that it was an accident.
