Theo the cat, who I love to bits, got right up my nose by banging on my window at 3 oclock this morning. I tried to ignore him but then he started yowling, which made all the neighbour's dogs bark.. I got up and went outside to let him in...and he just wanted to play. so I said some angry things he interpreted as "ooh yeah game on!"and attacked my bare legs, and well aaagh!!!also not happy that he feels the need to shred only my bedroom fly screen, when there are plenty of others to choose from.

My cat owned the basement of the house I lived in, and allowed me to visit on occasion to service her food and water needs and clean out her litterbox. Sometimes, she would allow herself to be petted, but only if you knew she was allowing it. If I was ever slow about taking care of her needs, she would wait until I was due home from work (the basement door opened into the basement from outside), and she would leave a "present" just inside the door, then stand about six feet away and watch me make a mess just by opening the door to come in. She would then sniff, turn around and stalk off.

She lived for 18 years, and I still miss my kitty.She had style!

So who is he?
He's my husband.
Well who in the damn galaxy ain't!

How about waking up at 3am to a cat yorkin' on you? Or finding a similar present with your bare feet as you stumble to the bathroom in the dark? These are my gifts from Cat A.

Cat B works on a totally different level. Cat A has a tummy problem and does not do these things maliciously. Cat B, however, thinks he is the king of Londinium, shiny hat and all. 6am means time to be fed. Human is still sleeping, so Cat B walks around on human's pillow, then pulls hair with claws. When afternoon rolls around and its time to be fed again, Cat B will give human the evil eye and do everything to get directly in human's eye sight until wet food is dispensed. This includes climbing on human's lap and walking on laptop keyboard.

And yet not only do I allow them to live in my house, I buy them food and toys, take care of all their medical needs, and even clean up their poop!!! I'm such a sucker...

I'd rather be a smartass than a dumbass...

My cat pukes. My cat pukes and craps. Now the crapping is bad enough, because I’m usually the one who has to clean up the litter box, but at least the crap goes into the litter box. The puke just goes any damn place. I live in constant fear of waking up in the morning and stepping off the bed into a wad of warm partially digested Purina. And sometimes there are hairballs, which are a real joy too. And if the hair isn’t coming out of this cat from one end or the other, it’s falling off in golf ball sized wads or coating the surface of all my suits. Cat hair weaves its way into fabric like it’s some kind of fibrous Borg assimilating all my suits, drapes and bed sheets. If I let it, it would gradually redecorate my whole house in shag. There is so much stuff coming off of or out of this cat that I don’t understand why it doesn’t just dissolve.

And if it doesn’t get fed at 5:33.56 AM on the millisecond on Saturday morning, it jumps up on the bed and starts head-butting me like a goat, until I get up. I learned the hard way not to kick it, because it latches onto my foot and rips my flesh off as it slides off the bed. And last night I discovered it likes my wintergreen gum. It got all wacky and started trying to stick its face in my mouth to get the gum – what the hell kind of cat does that!

Nihil est incertius vulgo, nihil obscurius voluntate hominum, nihil fallacius ratione tota comitiorum.

Nothing is more unpredictable than the mob, nothing more obscure than public opinion, nothing more deceptive than the whole political system.

God! My cat is so boring and well behaved compared to all of yours. the worst thing he does apart from the early morning wake ups,is he sprays inside.so he has to be supervised indoors. he's a clown. he loves a bath, has apparently been seen taking the odd dip in the neighbour's pool on a hot day. he bites but not hard, and doesn't scratch,he chases birds but doesn't catch them. and he is on a constant quest to make us play combat with him. the neighbours think I'm a freak for doing it. our old cat was his polar opposite, and we miss him anyway.

Notice that this has become a catcentric thread?

I think cats are essentially Browncoats. Independent, quirky individualists.

Your basic dog is Alliance. Rolls over for the Man.

My cat has not sussed that he is getting too old and slow to fight anything within reach.

Also, with the sick, the shedding, the underfoot at inconvenient moments, the picky food habits, the yowling...

But then when you feel ill, he'll come and just scooch up and put his head on your knee.

Well, I own dog that is loyal and tough, two qualities that I think are essentially Browncoat (you know the "find someone to carry you" part). He also barks loudly just to get attention especially while I'm on the phone. It has made me want to shoot him on occasion.

May have been on the losing side, still not convinced it was the wrong one.
