Ok status yesterday was about the cat not eating his food! Scenario: He's meowing for it sitting at the storage cupboard. I gets it out gives him some, then the cheeky b***er walks away with a, "I don't want that give me something better" attitude.
Last night I'm sat watching telly doing some embroidery with cottons and patterns all along the couch, he wanted to be on my lap. I pointed at hime and said "no" talked to him like a silly old woman trying to explain, "you can't get up! can't you see I have cottons and needles all over the place"...He jumped up and bit me, not satisfied as he started to walk away he came back and did the boxing bit flapping his paws at my legs.
I tell you he keeps this up he's off to the vet!

I've just had two days off work with a cold and yesterday I was sitting ignoring the cat when she suddenly started what I can only describe as a lascivious display of sexy wriggling and posturing on the carpet in front of me. She kept stopping and staring at me then doing a bit more. It was approaching her afternoon feeding time so I guessed she was actually asking for food, not sex.

If your cat refuses food it's because she is getting fed elsewhere; there are reckoned to be 7 million cats in Britain but there are 10 million families who think they own a cat.

All of the above sounds like normal behavior for my cat. Although things seem to have been worse since she's been on a raw diet.

On Saturday, I had a bout of man flu. So was in bed and literally couldn't move. So the cat decides to start attacking me from under the duvet. When she'd had enough, she plonked herself on my chest - making it even more difficult to breathe.

Later on, I took this test. It seems there is a 98% chance she is plotting to bump me off!

one of my cats really don't like the cold dark weather... come spring she really does come alive - hard to describe but she does get a lot more energy from somewhere!

HAHA that's funny :biggrin:

The big difference between having a cat and a dog is that you train the dog to do what you want it to do, whereas the cat trains you do what it wants you to do.

We had our cat done when he was young, he gets excited this time of year but doesn't know why.

I got a nice present of a live mouse dumped in my living room last night when I was about to go to bed... chucked the cat out of the room and had to try and guide the mouse out of the patio doors by pushing it with scrunched up plastic bags!

I *think* I got it out, but it was dark outside and I pushed it out quite close to the curtain (which goes down to the floor). Nevertheless I Spent the next hour checking the room, with the cat around (she'd be more likely to notice it than me), to make sure it hadn't remained indoors and hidden somewhere

I keep a pair of gardening gloves in the kitchen, just for the picking up of any mice that Tasha might have decided to present me with. It is much easier, I think, to pick little mice up than chase them around the house.

Our last car was always bringing things into the house. Not just mice but rabbits on several occasions and also once brought in one of next door neighbour's hens (thankfully unharmed).

Cats are contrary animals! My aunt had two siamese who absolutely loved people - you could pick up the big tom cat and he would go limp and would tollerate being help upside down, having his paws tickled, etc, without a single complaint. Nevertheless, this seemingly gentle giant of a cat was an absolute b*stard to his little sister - he would walk up to her and whack the bejeesus out of her with his paws until she moved from a spot where he wanted to sit, or gave up her food to him! At least he didn't scratch her, he just walloped her as hard as he could. He would begrudingly stop an attack if there was a human in the room who said "NO!!" very firmly.
