Dear Cat

Dear Twiggy,

Thanks for always escorting me into the bathroom. I feel much safer.

Dear Twiggy,

Thanks for always escorting me into the bathroom. I feel much safer.

you never know when you might fall into the toilet and the kitty needs to be there to save you.

Both of mine just sit and stare. It can be disconcerting, but mostly its just funny .

DBF's cat doesn't like closed doors. This includes bathroom doors. He'll come in and stare. I inevitably hear DBF saying something like "Dammit, cat, I don't stare at you while you're on your litterbox!" He also insists on staring while the bathroom occupant is taking a shower.
I just tell DBF that at least the cat doesn't look up and go "Ooh, dangly things!" with claws out...

My Bailey (the avatar) never let me go in the bathroom alone. And loved to sit on my lap when I was, well, using the bathroom. I've gotta say - I kind of miss that crazy habit. My two new ones want to come in with me, but not so much wanting to sit on my lap.

Tux the maine coon insists on a five minute cuddle on his back in my arms when I hit the toilet first thing in the morning. The issue is further complicated by the fact that miss ike insists on racing in and getting a drink out of the toilet first. Following this little exercise, they each pick a sink and insist that the taps drip while they drink and play with the water ehile I am getting dressed. When I come in to turn off the taps they know it is breakfast time and tear off into the kitchen and clalim their spots.

I love their little kitty rituals.

Dear Cats:

I know your dad is out of town and that I'm a poor substitute. But - did you really have to eat my test knit and string yarn all over the house in the 10 minutes I left you alone to chop up veggies for dinner? I'm already feeling cruddy from a flu shot and a messed up ankle - your predecessors would have made me feel better. Please grow up already!

Dear Bandit,

I know Buttons has just come back from the vet. Quit growling and hissing at her as she has "vet smell". She's been spayed and doesn't feel good. You weren't a happy cat when I got you taken care of either.

Also, drinking chocolate milk with your paw while I'm typing is not allowed even though I know it's your favorite.

Dear kitty kat, you can stop hiding under the couch now. This morning's antibiotics was the last dose. Tomorrow, your stitches come out and you'll be fine. Besides, your vet did a pretty darn good job of repairing your face. Animal plastic surgery at it's finest, really.

Dear Chloe,
The computer screen's mouse arrow is NOT a bug that you must attack. Further, despite your penchant for lying across my right and and putting your paw on the keyboard, it will not make the arrow bug play with you. I know you're special, but I do like to communicate with the outside world.

Love,
your Mom

Dear cats

I'm so sorry that our new dog has decided that chasing you guys is great fun. We're working on discouraging it. Meanwhile, I'll think you'll find the baby-gate will let you have the upstairs all to yourselves. Give it some time, and I'm sure you guys and Stella will be friends.

Love, your protector

PS you all were so brave to come downstairs for your breakfast today!

Dear Miles,

We are all very impressed with the fact that you seem to have been taking lessons in Parkour. You're very acrobatic; you amuse and impress everyone who comes by to visit and I never get tired of seeing you bounce off the walls, doors, cabinetry and furniture. I just have one request: Would you please, please, please try to keep your activities confined to the hours when we're awake? It's very hard to sleep thinking that someone is breaking into the house at 2 am.

Thanks!

Your humble servants.

Kitty Parkour - I love it!

[ursalilah]

I've never seen anything like it. He's wild! It used to be that he did Parkour right after he ate, but now he does it at all times of day and night. He seems to also like to show off when we have guests and he'll do 5-6 moves in a row. I really need to get it on video.

Dear Little Cat,

I don't know what you did while you were outside, but you stink! I wish you'd chosen to clean yourself somewhere other than my bed.

Also, if I'm on the toilet, I'm going to be needing the sink in short order; my sitting down in the smallest room in the house should not be your cue to jump into the sink to curl up for a nap.

Holding my nose,

The woman who feeds you

Dear Chloe,
I really do need to balance the checkbook. I appreciate your help, but please move your lovely butt.
