Aaah but GMRyujin… I do know the joy of kitty climbing bare leg in the morning after a shower. It is really cute when they scale your jeans and climb you but when you aren’t wearing any jeans… ouch! 🙂 ---

Shhh, we want to wait for that first “Agh! Darn cat scratched me when I was getting out of the shower!” thread. Hee hee hee! _refills cold drink, resumes watching_ ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Phlosphr \* > \*\*I only see more termoil with the addition of another cat. My wife has had to use the _net_ teice since kitty has taken a liking to our wooded home. She crawled up the wall yesterday, got stuck and “MEEEUW-MEEEUW-MEEUW” until I went up on the trelace off our room and scooped her up. She’s a strong thing. And I have claw marks all over my chest/arms/hands from her razor sharp talons. I think another cat would be pretty scary…I have not been able to send any recent pics to the woman we bought her from, but here is one of her with her brother before we picked her up…She’s on the [right](http://www.orecatay.com/images/photos/two-sweeties.jpg) . Isn’t she cun’in… > > OMG!! :eek: DID I SAY CUN’IN? \*\* See, if she had a playmate, they would be busy trying to remove each other’s ears instead of climbing the walls. Our two adult cats interact a lot. They groom each other, sunbathe in the front window together, and pounce on each other. There’s nothing funnier than watching them peek at each other from behind a strategic wall or door, waiting for JUST the right moment to POUNCE! Before we got our Siamese girl, the tabby boy would hide behind a doorway and try to bodyslam my daughter. He wouldn’t use his claws, he just wanted to play. I thought this was hilarious. My daughter was not nearly so amused. Now that he has a feline playmate, though, the two cats will wrestle with each other, and snuggle up to the humans to be petted. And yes, you said CUN’IN. AND you called yourself Daddy. Face it, you’re smitten. I can’t blame you, though, I’m a sucker for cats myself, especially Siamese. Right now, I have the most incredible urge to adopt another Siamese kitten, and it’s all YOUR fault. ---

🙂 I’m actually gald you posted that **lynn**. I’m beginning to think that maybe the addition of another kitty would help keep them out of our room at night. So far \*\*Minmei has not been able to reach the trelace from climbing the wall. But once agility set’s in I bet she’ll be able to. I have to do some soul searching right now, because if I suggest to Mrs.Phlosr we get another kitty, it will only affirm her notion that _she won_ and I gave in to the primal kitty urge. She already kids me when my in-laws are around…_“Yep, he racked the second Minmei came home!! I’m good”_ No not really sweety, I lasted a whole 60 hours before fully cracking. ---

I sooooooooooo want a cat, and this thread has made me even more insistent. My family’s still debating whether to get one cat or two - but we’re getting a cat. Cats are so unbelievably adorable! They rule my world. WRS ---

Everyone should have a kitty. But don’t forget to check out the local animal shelter. It is such a shame that there are unwanted kitties in the world - if you go, you will want to adopt them all guarenteed! ---

We have 4 kitties… 3 are shelter kitties. My dog is a shelter doggie. Our hamsters have all been shelter hamsters. Cats really need company. I wouldn’t have only one. Good luck with finding a way to convince Mrs. Philosopher that another kitty is for Minmei’s mental health (and yours) and not because you are whipped 🙂 Oh and I love the name minmei and hubby got a kick out of it too! (Being the Robotech fan that he is) ---

I don’t know… I have a cat and she’s the most trouble free and sweet thing. Even plays fetch. ---
