Dear Cougar & Ransom
Why do you sleep all day and stay awake all night? You look so peaceful sleeping in the sun right now. How can you be such brats at 1:00 a.m.? I have so much trouble falling asleep and then after I do, you seem to need to pounce on me. I do love you, but can't you just be a little more considerate?
Sounds about right. Crazy O'Clock lasts between 11:00 pm and 1:00 am, human time.
When I first got Isis, she wanted to play fetch at 4am.
Dear Ransom,
More than anything I wanted to go bike riding today. It is sunny and warm. It is nearing the end of September and I don't know how many good riding days are left. But as I made the bed this morning, I found your most recent "throw-up" on the queen size quilted bedspread. I thought we had gotten past that stage of your life. Now I have to spend the afternoon at the local Laundromat! :mad:
When we went on vacation, my brother came over, gave you a treat, and cleaned the kitty litter every day. You never threw up that whole two weeks we were gone. If you did, I never found it. So now you are back to your old habits. I read somewhere it could be because we are stressing you out. Well, my brother does not want to adopt you so you can be around less stress, so please try to be more considerate. If you must throw up, please do it on the bathroom floor where it is easy to clean up. Thank you.
Dearest kitty,
Why have you taken to lurking behind my chair? I know we don't have the arrangement we had in the old place, so that you could sit in "your" chair and keep an eye on me, but surely you must realize that behind a rolling chair is not a good place to sit.
The human.
Sounds like kitty needs one of those soft roll up beds near you so he can watch!
Dear Ransom & Cougar
My SO keeps telling me I snore. I can't convince him that it is you, Ransom. You snore so loudly that sometimes I can't get to sleep. And if I finally do get to sleep, sometimes your snoring will even wake me up.
Cougar, you have a "purring" kind of snoring. It is not too bad. It does sound strange though.
Please sleep somewhere besides our bedroom if you have to snore. SO's snoring is bad enough..:rolleyes:
The lady who gives you a treat every morning and every evening.
LOL! We had one that snored so loudly, you could hear it in the basement under the bedroom - she slept near the heating duct. Daintiest, prettiest cat you ever saw, but snored like a large male human.Quote:

Last time we took ours for her physical, I mentioned to the vet that she didn't seem to see as well in dim light as any other cat we'd ever had, and that she was much more diurnal than nocturnal. The vet said she would have a different ratio of rods and cones in her retina than a normal eye colour cat. When she examined Taffy's eyes she said that the retina was wavering (jiggling?), which apparently is normal for siamese and siamese mixes. Has anyone here had a non-colourpoint blue eyed cat and noticed that it wasn't very nocturnal? The colourpoint gene is a form of albinoism, but I don't know what's going on gene-wise for other blue-eyed cats.
Dear Joe,
Didn't you see that the warmest spot on the kitchen counter was already occupied by a loaf of rising bread dough? Looks like it made a comfy seat for you, but PLEASE! I wasn't planning on giving it another rise. In this cool fall weather it was already taking long enough.
Hah! Awesome :-DQuote:

This is a bicycle website and this thread is for cats, right? so the cat wants to go bicycling -- but should I tell her she is backwards?

Aww! You should get her a little trail-a-bike!Quote:

We used to have a devon Rex that loved to sleep draped across the cable box so much that he had no hair left on his chest,belly and crotch.Quote:

Try a layer of Saran Wrap over the glass for a couple of days. Cats don't like how it feels on their feet! Aversion training works. This is also good for scratching on furniture, or at least it did for me.Quote:
