I think my cat is lonely.

[jobycom]

I just walked into the kitchen and caught her staring at her reflection in the oven door. When I said "Hello, Kitty" she jumped a foot and then tried to look nonchalant. Whaddya think, time for another kitty soon?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

1. yes.

Your pet needs a pet :D :hi:

[curse of greyface]

2. Oh for god's sake get your cat a friend or two. nt

[grasswire]

3. so many lovely animals need a home....

...please double your pleasure, double your fun.

[Robeson]

4. Get her a friend...

...cats ain't no trouble. No trouble at all.

[Dangerously Amused]

5. Yes. And Minnie will lead you to the right kitty.

Trust me. They have this "Kitty Underground" thing all set up.

:hug:

7. I think she misses Minnie.

They fought like cats and cats while she was alive, but she's been odd since. When I walked back into the apartment after taking her away, Amber stared at me, then stared out the door for a while. I think she was hoping Minnie was coming back somehow. Now she's going crazy tearing around the apartment, and she's a lot more clingy than before. Poor kitty.

[Dangerously Amused]

8. Absolutely she is missing Minnie. No doubt in my mind.

There will never be another Minnie, she was amazing. But now there is room in a forever home for another little lost soul. I think Minnie would approve.

:hug:

[jobycom]

9. Minnie would NOT approve.

She was a jealous cat who hated sharing me with anyone or anything. When I would sit on the couch with my children, she would climb between us. When I first got Amber, she would chase Amber off the bed or couch if she got too close to me. Every time a new kitten came into her house, she would terrorize the kitten, not seeming to understand that when kittens grew up, they would get revenge. :rofl:

I imagine even now she is haunting the apartment, looking for ways to claim me for her own. Come to think of it, I keep hearing thumping noises in my kitchen. Minnie used to climb into the cabinets, and every time I hear that noise I think without thinking it "that's Minnie getting in the cabinets." I was thinking it was just something in the apartment next door, now I wonder... That cat was one of a kind, in wonderful and annoying ways.

Oh well. A poltergeist Minnie won't bother another kittie much. :)

[Dangerously Amused]

14. Well,

I was hoping perhaps Minnie has reached a transcendental plane of grace and forgiveness. Maybe not though. ;) Then again, as you said, it will be more of something for the new kitten to deal with than for you.

[jobycom]

15. Gosh, I hope not.

That annoying neediness was what made her Minnie. It was her own special Minnie-ness. That's what the kids and I smile about when we talk about her now. It's been said often, but the thing that annoys you most about someone is what you miss the most about them. :)

6. It's an unknown fact:

Cats just like to look at themselves in the mirror... or any reflection.

You heard it here first! :hi:

[Droopy]

10. I wonder if they are sitting there going:

"Huh. So that's what I look like. I'm pretty damn good looking." Are cats narcissists?

[Roon]

11. My Daniel likes to look at herself in the mirror

[applegrove]

16. I try and get my cats to show some recognition in the mirror but nothing..nada.

[charlie and algernon]

17. my cat won't look at the mirror either

she's too busy guarding the back porch from inside the house to worry about what she looks like.

[applegrove]

18. I guess I should be happy my cats are not vain ...

[Skittles]

12. JAYSUS JOBYCOM

get ye to the shelter

[Withywindle]

13. Awwww, I vote yes.

If you've got the space, get thee to a shelter and get her a playmate and another deserving kitty a forever home.


Just my humble opinion. :D
