Sorry Z, Kleo sounds like the smart one, in this situation.

Do you REALLY expect your cat to drink that stale old, 5 minute OLD water?! You probable expect the poor thing to drink from the same bowl too. Disgusting!  Seriously, that's abuse! Gee. I'm considering turning you in to the water police. 




You all make me laugh.  Mainly cuz I know it's all so true. 
Thanks!

With Sport watching me, and if my back hurts too much, I will fill a glass with water from the bathtoom sink and pour it into the water bowl on the bathroom floor. Sport will not drink it. He has to see the water emptied from the bowl into the sink and then hear the water from the faucet directly filling the bowl before he will drink it.

Very fussy. Very fussy.

LOL - my cat only drinks cold, bottled water.  I buy my f*cking cat bottled water.

For my elderly cat:

1)  Can't you sit on the cushion next to me?  Why do you need to yell and yell until I move over?  
2)  You have lived with me for 19+ years, in two houses.  Can't you figure out what my legs look like and not stand directly behind them?  It was one thing when you were young - but now that you are so fragile, we both need to make sure I am not stepping on you. I knew what your legs look like, but I am losing my sight. Since I am older than you in comparison, perhaps you will forgive me following closely. Remember, I am older and you are younger. Would you ask your elderly Mom to move over, or would you just move over?

For my young cat:

1)  Why do you keep beating up my old girl?  She is no threat to you.
2)  WTF? About pretty much everything else.

For my middle aged cat:

1)  You are so cool, can't you hang out with us just a little bit more?

Dear Gizmo: We have absolutely no problem with you or any of your fur siblings using the serenity fountain in our bedroom as a drinking fountain, but why the h*ll do you feel the compulsive need to fling water all over (and down) the wall, the mirror and the dresser the fountain sits on when you're done imbibing?!?!?!?

Because its the water splashing festival in Thailand now?

My cats want to come live with you guys.  They have to share a water dish with the dogs.  They glare at me when the goofy girl dog has made a mess of the water dish.  Dog spit, ewww!

I go out of my way to not step on my cats all the time.  But this one has been underfoot from day 1.  I love her like a fat kid loves cake - but at some point in her life she should have figured out that if she comes up behind me - especially when I am cooking - I am prone to taking a step without doing a 360 view.  

I sat on her the other day because I was mid-sit and she ran under my butt.  I couldn't stop it even if I wanted to.  Poor thing - I could have really crushed her.

She's a cat, she's willing to take the risk. The key is for *you* to not feel bad about it. Lizards and amphibians can have a similar risky mindset. Luckily I had some wise friends who told me it was up to me to run my life and how I felt about it, and believe they were doing the same. FWIW. I have stories about lizards, tails, rocking chairs and my amazing lizard plus balloon tracking system _tm

I know some people hate it, just absolutely hate it when comparing pets to kids but....


Dear Kleo
you know when you are about to be bad or do something bad and like a child you do it any way?

I had dinner on the tray in the livingroom and went to the kitchen for a second. I get back! Kleo was on the couch with one paw over my plate! about to take a swipe at my salmon! I said Kleo no! not too loud, but demanding! Kleo looked at me like she didn't understand what I said. But I started to hold back a laugh! she looked so cute! giving me big eyes!
I then said Kleo NO! DOWN! Kleo then moves her paw very slowly towards my Salmon! now I'm laughing! and I move towards her and she now jumps down and runs away!

CATZ!!

That is how I have felt about it until now - but now that she is so old and so fragile, I can't help but feel bad if she is in pain.

Dear Betsy,

Why did you feel the need to wake me up with a TONGUE IN MY EAR this morning?! I would've fed you even if you just meowed at me as you usually do. Yuck.

[Tennesseer]

Dear Sport,

When you are sleeping right by my face, why do you smack your lips right under my nose?  You know your breath smells like crap.

Dear Ball,

You are aware that being in a room by yourself does not constitute being 'lost.' It does not require you to scream at the top of your lungs until someone calls to you (human or cat). You can go and look in the other rooms for us. It takes you about 12 seconds to do the house circuit (I know because all of you play chase through it relentlessly), just do that, k?

Dear Lucy,

Why do you get in my jeans or slacks or pajamas when I am going to the bathroom?  I really don't need your assistance.  I have learned if I close the door, you howl at the top of your lungs.

I have tile and hardwood floors.  Why must you always puke on the bed or carpet? 

I'm sorry the baby birds grow up every spring and leave us.  It's not my fault.  Enjoy them while you can.

Dear Kleo
you do know us being in the same room does count as quality time?

like when me and mommy were together, it counts as quality time. I don't have to have you on my lab or giving you pets and massages. you can be on the floor and I'm on the couch. even if I am on the exercise bike and you are on the bed - it all counts.
