Your kitties sound adorable. My cat, Maya, has been super sweet lately and extra lovey. I think it’s the blanket on the couch, which I only need rustle a bit for her to come up and make biscuits on (that’s what we call the kneading) and then cuddle up beside me. She’s also exceptionally chatty, especially when she’s crawling all over me in bed and finding new parts of my elbow to nibble on.

You should check out this guys animation shorts about his cat. I posted them on my blog at http://thefunctionalweirdo.wordpress.com/2008/08/04/have-you-never-seen-these/

You can also see them on youtube, just search for “simon’s cats.” Very amusing and completely true!

My mother took great joy in saying “God’s getting even!” any time my sister (the problem child) complained about the antics of her daughter. Most of those antics mirrored my sister’s, but usually happened at an earlier age.

My 2 fat ornery felines also have the innate ability to recognize the slightest movement I make in my climb from unconsciousness. They sprint from the foot of the bed to park themselves at my head, greeting my bleary eyes with hopeful stares, cold wet noses, and head butts, as they’ve obviously starved nearly to death in the night.

Yours truly,

I LOVE your cat descriptions! I adore my own kitties, but yours just sound soooo delectable . . . how lucky you are for those lithe things.

As for your daughter, aw, that kind of thing toughens a girl up. ;) My grandmother, the sweetest woman on the PLANET, just laughed and laughed and LAUGHED when my mother told her about what a nightmare it was to take me and my sister bathing suit shopping as teens. You know it’s part of the karmic deal–good for you for enjoying it.

Call me crazy, but I think even that level of promise may be a bit much when the ‘tit for tat’ faeries come running.

Isn’t that why grandparents take delight in buying noisy musical instruments for their grandchildren. Because when their children say “But you hated it when I was a child and used to play THAT because it got on your nerves so much!” and their parents can smile sweetly at them and say “I KNOWWWW!!!!”

My mother occasionally says the same thing to me “I hope someday your daughter does this, and I’ll laugh”. Thanks, mom. lol

It is incredibly sweet when the cats are so affectionate. I agree, they can tell when you’ve woken. our girl now does this, at first when we moved her it was bad. Up on the bed crying “hey look at me, pet me, you haven’t petted me all night, and gues what i saw!?! oh my you won’t believe this, come see what i found!!” *yawn* huh?

Payback is a bitch, to the person it’s being done to. To everyone else, it’s hilarious.

Awesome cats. I wish I could have cats, but I’m allergic… my cousin has suggested that it’s only to short haired cats, but I’ve never been around any long haired cats (at least I don’t think so), so I’m not sure about that.

Either way, KITTIES! <3
