My youngest male cat loves my boyfriend as much as he loves me, so when we are getting affectionate he feels he should be getting some attention too and will try to join in. Sometimes he tries to give love bites or get really playful and swat at things. Not something you want at any time but most especially when you are naked and tender bits are exposed. I guess he thinks we are just having a playful wrestle like he does with his sister and he doesn’t understand why he can’t play too.
I’m sure mine wonder why I have three perfectly good birds, RIGHT IN THE HOUSE, flying about, and they get into trouble (or pecked) for bothering them.
Here are a few other things my cats must wonder.
Why does the human sit in front of the large brightly lit box, playing with the little square buttons on the flat gray button-y thing and occasionally fall down laughing maniacally?
The human regularly immerses herself in an entire HUGE VAT OF WATER!!! We’ve tried several times to rescue her by walking the edge of the vat and extending a helping paw, but she’s apparently too injured or frightened to take our help.
My cat wondered why his thanks were so unappreciated - the fish were very tasty.
Many years ago, we had a cat that became very distressed if he saw you in water. You’d be washing the dishes, and he would work his way around on the sink, lean over, grab your shirt, arm, or fingers with his teeth, and try to pull you out of the water. So adorable.
My cats also wonder why I have prey in a cage and won’t let them have it. :smack:
Same here! However, Cleo is utterly terrified of my bird [used to have 2] and my older bunny, Buster, who tried to woo her with his hot bunny luuuv before I got him fixed. Poor kitty!
One of mine is terrified of the bird, too. Sunshine’s a lovebird, and she’s utterly fearless, so she’ll try to attack anything that approaches her cage. Punky is just not capable of dealing with the idea of “prey” that attacks instead of running away. ![]()
I’m sure our cat wonders why, as fellow litter-mates, we feel we have to change our fur at least twice a day. And why is it we don’t eat out of bowls on the floor like other cats do? Then there’s that whole mystery of the opposing thumbs thing.
The cats’ version of Alien Abduction stories.
Great Og! I think you nailed it. What if humans really are some Alien’s pets, and abductions really are vet visits?
gets shifty eyed We’d better be careful. If they figure out we’ve wised up to them, it could be us, next! :eek:
Why don’t the humans understand it’s a kitty’s job to get to the other side of the door? Well, of course I was just out. Did you think I was finished?
I know my peoples love to play, like all noble creatures, but when they pick up one of those shiny sticks and start scratching on paper and wiggling it around, how come they don’t me to get in on the play?
Three entities live in our house: 1 cat and 2 humans. Total: 3.
Therefore, each entity should receive 1/3 of the bed. It is the obvious and fair solution. One human gets 1/3, another human gets 1/3, and the cat gets 1/3.
However, the humans are completely uncouth bed pigs, and take up more than their allotted 2/3 of the bed.
My cats have decided that when I am sitting on the white chair that means I am immobile for a few minutes so obviously that is the best time to procure pettings. What else could I possibly be doing when I am just sitting there, after all?
Well, DUH! That’s obviously supposed to be kitty-quality-time!
