I had to share this ...my cat is having an attention seeking day. after I ignored his attempts to engage with me he positioned himself in front of our back door so that anyone going out has to step over him whereupon he grabs their legs. Just overheard my mother: "can I come outside please?" followed by scuffling and "theo let go I haven't time for this" then as she came back in " can I come inside now?" All done with the cute Sicilian accent she says she doesn't have...now my dad's gone out and given him a pat....I just looked out my window and Theo's turned to me with his paws under his chin and meowed...I'd better go out and play.

Boris: I love it! Both of mine will do that kind of stuff. Rodger has decided that he's so attention-starved that he will actually grab a corner of a rug and pull it over on himself, and then PET HIMSELF WITH IT, as if the petting I was already giving him just wasn't enough.

And if I put my hand near his head as if to pet him, he'll grab my hand and pull it the rest of the way to his head, MAKING me pet him.

Meanwhile, Peedie will stalk me around the house and grab at my hands anytime I walk by - he'll grab me from the bed, the couch, the chairs, the desk, the window ledge, anywhere he can get a grab at my hands as I go by. And he doesn't mind using his claws to punctuate the point!

Mostly true... Cats are good for those people who have become sooo accustomed to being ignored by the people in their lives that they need it out of their pets too.

However I add (as if you didn't know) they have that psychotic quirky cuteness, so cute in fact that they make someone who is freakishly allergic to cats reach out and touch one and then she accidently touched her eye and it basically exploded in one of those horrid red bloody looking eye stains for two weeks and made the certain someone -one guess who- want to physically remove her eyeball to scratch it!!

Damn their cuteness!

However, I should add, if I could logistically own a white tiger I would do it in a heartbeat...We have a tiger in our local pathetic Zoo and after a decade or so in a tiny area I can say IT...STILL...PACES- and it *** looks*** at you and it still wonders what YOU taste like... Marvelous creatures...

OMG Kwicko,your cats sound like fun. I'm saddened when people I know who have cats say they just lie around and behave...it's so un-cat-like. Theo sticks his head/neck out and grabs our hands for a pat too. sometimes he'll scratch his chin to demonstrate what he wants...so endearing. he also attacks rugs and then drags them round, or shoots underneath them and pokes his paws/head out. He does some things that baffle us. For instance my parents have a plastic stool in their bathroom that he's been in love with since he was a kitten. He hugs it rubs it plays with it...so damn weird and funny to watch. Lately he has taken to sitting at our feet grabbing them and licking them. He gets very upset if we don't let him.

I have always had plenty of friends, am not often ignored by people, and love cats. Cats may not save lives in the same way dogs do, but I know of situations about them warning people re: fires and intruders etc. A friends grandparents once rescued an injured young ferral cat... When I first met him I assumed he'd be small and cute as they'd named him Fluffy. Nanna went to get him and was panting when she got back to us holding her feline buddy. He was black steely muscled brute with one white paw and he was the size of a puma! they would throw old car tyres for him to play with. One night two guys broke into their house to rob them and Fluffy took them both out. During the day their neighbours would leave their pets, a small Maltese cross and a white kitten alone all day with no shade or food. Fluffy would jump over the fence every day and gently jump back over with them and put them in the shade/share his food. At the end of the day he would take them back home. Cats have helped countless numbers of autistic people become more social. I'm only on the mild end of the spectrum but before we had our first cat I was unable to show warmth and affection to people, and I was freaked about people touching me. That all changed after a couple of years with our first cat. Not all cats are egocentric either.

Mine was not a personal statement Boris, was referring to the general feel from the Dennis Leary rant. I have no way of knowing if you or anyone else is mostly ignored, I simply said I think cats are good "for those kind of people" and I agree cats are good for other types of people as well... You yourself admit that your brain waves aren't completely smack-dab in the spectrum of norm and while you are lucky enough to have attentive friends I am sure you have heard the phrase "Crazy Cat Lady" enough to know that not everyone with a brain not in the "norm range" is a social butterfly... I appologize if I what I said made you feel you need to defend yourself and please, call your friends today and tell them how much you appreciate them... My friends only ignore me AFTER they have stabbed me in the back -so a friend, especially a *loyal* friend is a truly great thing...

hey Iremist no offence taken...I was just a little quick to react (it's a Sicilian thing also mis-interpretation of blog comments is the downside of not being able to talk face to face with people, you lose the sarcastic/comedic/ironic nuances you can hear in voices when you are reading rather than listening...also you can't see facial expressions).
my friends are all a tad on the crunchy-nutty side but they would never stab me in the back so I'm uber appreciative. People who treat me like crap generally end up wearing it...ya want me to come over there and sort out your backstabbers?(That's a Sicilian thing too)

P.S. I ASPIRE to being the crazy cat lady when I retire.
P.P.S.S. Ugh! who'd want to be normal...how utterly ugh!...no offence meant to anyone who may identify as normal, but ewwww!!!!.

I had the opportunity of playing with a tiger cub for a few minutes once...it was the coolest experience. I was blown away by the fact that It was a baby but bigger than an adult cat, It was kneading my tummy with it's massive plump paws and head butting me. Only time in my life I've had something akin to a maternal twinge while playing with a baby.

America loves a winner!

Cats and head butting. Domesticated or wild, big or small, it's just something they do, huh?

There has to be reason 'why', though, right?

Anyone wanna field that one,my ears are perked.

Depends on how they do it.

Straight line headbumb is a plea for attention/petting.

Angle/sideface is scent marking you as "their" human.

Side of jaw with nips/nibbles is a higher degree of affection, but fairly rare.

While actually explainable in each individual part, taken as a whole by most humans feline behavior can be a little incomprehensible.

But then again, sometimes not.

Heh heh heh.

Both of my cats lately have come up with a new way to play with my dog.

They wait until she dozes off... then one of them sneaks up about an inch away from her face... then the cat lets out this blood curdling meow and runs...

I swear there is a contest between the two of them as to how close they can get without waking her up first.

My poor dog though doesn't get it... she runs after the cat, and sometimes past the cat looking for the danger to save the cat. She is quite protective despite their evil senses of humor.

Might be their revenge for when she walks past when they are asleep and drops a big wet kiss across their faces

lol

Since I had such a perfect shot, imma spring some pics of the kitties.

This is Kallista, the princess of the household, and boy she knows it!

And this is Puppy, who's a bit cracked in the head and seems to think she's a dog half the time, hench the ever so appropriate name.

Of course, they're almost as bad as children.
Little, furry, SPOILED ROTTEN children, at that!
