I can tell my cat thinks that I do some pretty strange things, for example:
My litter box is filled with water - and I still use it!
Speaking of water, everymorning, I Get up and stand in a spray of it for a long time… obviously I am too paralysed with fear to make my escape
There are BIRDS! Right outside the window! And I don’t run out and catch them!
Sometimes I sit and stare at paper for a long time… I could be using that time to pet a cat!
This is VERY disturbing. Everyday I get into that huge terrifying car and let it drive away with me!
I am a INCREDIBLE, but not very selective Hunter. Often I will come into the house with bags full of meat! Oh… and vegitables, and other inedible stuff!
I sleep at NIGHT!.. sheesh… whats up with that…?!
OK… I have started this thread with the idea that cats must see our human activities as very odd at times… what contributions can you make?
Yup, my mom’s cats go talk to her to be sure she’s all right when she’s doing that weird talking-to-self-and-holding-thing-to-head move.
Cats also wonder why anyone would use a can opener to open things like canned fruit/vegetables/beans when there are obviously cans of tuna and/or cat food that could be opened instead. They get the most disgusted look when they come running at the sound only to discover that you’ve opened some pineapple.
My kitties surely wonder what happened to my fur, and they also think I don’t know how to groom myself–I base this on the number of times they groom me and then give me puzzled looks as if to say “Hey! Where is your fur?”
People don’t NAP enough! That’s why they’re always so tense and snippy with each other.
And how come Doug thinks I want pettin’s just 'cause I come running and mrrooooww when he opens the door? I want FOOD. Yes, even if my dish is already full. I just have to feel some ATTENTION is being paid to this basic kittyneed.
My human wastes food! I give her half of a tasty little mouse, and does she even give it a lick? No!
She also never takes advantage of sun spots. There’s a wonderful one right over there on the floor, waiting to be basked in, and she sits on a chair instead. Is she retarded or what?
My human doesn’t even understand ettiquite, poor thing! I’ll get up on the desk - right at face level - and offer her a courtesy sniff, and what does she do? Push me off on the floor!
And she comes in at night and sits in front of that glowing thing on the desk! Why would she do that when there are perfectly good cats here to pet?
When humans make noises in their throats it’s fascinating. It’s almost like they are trying to communicate, it’s kind of cute. They should be encouraged in their attempts so look at them and pretend to be interested.
Why oh *why * does she scream and run away from the bugs? They’re nice and big and I put them right on her pillow so she can play with them as soon as she wakes up.
Why does she steal my toys and nurse then back to health before releasing them?
I’m pretty sure I finally figured out what the cat is looking for when he rears up to look into the tub. He’s checking to see if we finally put litter in it, so we can toilet like proper big cats should
Why does she insist on sleeping past 5:30 in the morning when I need the bed for my nap? I need to sleep in the spot she’s in, and she just won’t get up, so maybe if I claw at the covers and crawl underneath them, and then change my mind, and then come back 30 seconds later and do it again, she’ll get up and at least go sit on the cold white thing in the litter box room, and I can have my spot.
