I'm certain that all cat servants know this drill: you get up from your chair to go to do something (get a drink/go to the restroom/eat/answer the phone/ etc.). You come back and your cat is in a deep, deep, deep sleep in the warm place where you were sitting.

So tonight I tried something new...I put my laptop where I was sitting. There! That will hold my spot, the perfect place holder.

NOT!


Aaaahhh...I love my Sweet Miss Phoebe :smile:.

That is adorable, LisaB. Who had Phoebe written to?

I realize she's not a kitten, per se, but she's a kitten to me.

After a long day's travel, Bean climbed to the top platform of her scratching post and was promptly unconscious for a very long time.

I think Ember only sleeps when I'm not home. The whole rest of the time, she's plotting her attacks. I would never be able to sneak up and get a picture of her in a sleeping pose like that. The moment I move to reach for the camera, she's on full alert.

I think the problem Phoebe has is that you've been obviously sitting in her spot, lisab! :biggrin: Ember and I sit across from each other, usually. She gets the loveseat and I get the sofa. Sometimes she opts for the back of the sofa. If I have a blanket on my feet, she'll sit on my feet. They must be too cold otherwise.

To Gizmo of course, something about black charm.

This computer was getting quite warm during work. Guess in which place it was getting warm :smile:

It was also pretty easy to warm yourself just by carrying it around

We had to reverse the door handle so it lifted up - it was the only way not to be woken each morning by a cat on the bed.

The same cat could open the fridge door - she never ate anything, just liked to lay in front of it to keep cool in summer.

I had bathroom sink faucet handles that were L shaped instead of round and the cats learned that they could hook their paw around it and turn the faucet on. They much prefer fresh running water to stagnant bowl water and I'd come home and hear water running. I had to remember to close all bathroom doors. A couple of them also taught themselves to use the toilet. The first time I walked by the bathroom and heard someone urinating in the toilet when I knew I was alone in the house was a heart stopper.

It's teaching them to flush that's tricky

She is about 17weeks. My wife spotted an ad for free kittens the week before Thanksgiving and gave them a call. It turned out to be a friend of my wife's from grade school days who had cats with 2 different litters. One litter living inside while the other was kept in a outside cattery. We picked up this little girl from the front porch on the way in. My wife was leaning to one of the inside cats. But try as they might they could only get ahold of one them. Meanwhile I was holding this kitten (Kona) and she was just purring away. We kept her.

The fun part came when we brought her home and introduced her to the pack.

Turns out she is absolutely fearless, she has never been bothered by any of their noise and posturing. Now she is seeing those nice pompom tails as convenient cat toys.

Our 2 old cats do not approve of her but have stopped hissing on sight of her, now they just glare.

Oh how cute! Lovely animals Integral.

I'm still devastated by the recent death of my cat, so it will be awhile before I consider taking another. I still have my crazy little dog.

Sorry about your cat Evo, losing pets is tough. Fuzzy the father of our cats passed away when he was only 6yrs old. It was just a month or so after his best friend our old Pomeranian died. We think he just could not get over the loss of his friend.

Great cats and dogs, but I especially love buttons on the couch - they look as additional pair of eyes :smile:

Here's a cute shot of little E and Mr. Big. He jumped up on her blanket while she was sleeping propped in the chair after one of our walks... she soon woke up and instantly started babbling at him. He's since lost his adoption center collar and gained a nice black collar with some rhinestone bling.

Meet Tanner. He was put to final rest yesterday. He was suffering from cancer, and my friend decided it was time to end the suffering.

Tanner, my friend and I had some good times together. We miss him very much. :frown: :cry:

Tanner used to greet us at the door, and lie down to get a back and belly rub.

RIP, little buddy.

This is Simon. He was a VERY vocal cat, and quite demonstrative when he wanted to be scratched or get ear-rubs. He met an untimely end not long after I got this shot, thanks to a neighbor with an un-leashed Rottweiler. My cousin and her family were devastated.

Astronuc and turbo, are you two trying to make me cry?

They're both beautiful cats. I'm glad they were well loved while they were here.

We had another sad story with my neighbor's cat last week - relatively young tomcat (castrated) lost to urinary problems. Two or three days and Gucio was gone :frown: He was ruling the area.

Oh I'm so sorry, Astro :cry:.

Makes me want to give Sweet Miss Phoebe an extra cuddle this morning.
