I swear I don't own cats - I own begging street urchins

:mad:

After 6 months those 2 are starting to become friend and team up to make my life miserable. Like when they both jump on my bed first thing in the morning to remind me it's feeding time (they get their wet food before I go to work). They have this most pathetic sounding meow that isn't quite like a real meow but a 'PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GET US OUR MOIST FOOD NOW PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE'

Well, geez, I just woke up - I can barely open my eyes and my bladder is filled to the brim. I need to take a quick trip to the bathroom before I can do anything.

So now these 2 beggars follow me into the bathroom and meow their pathetic little 'begger meows' They will follow me right underfoot even when I'm trying to get ready for work or if I want to check out the internet.

Once they get their morning wet food (btw, they have water & dry food available so it's not like they aren't feed), they ignore me for the rest of the day.

Who's crazy idea was it for me to adopt cats

:crazy:

1. One doesn't 'own cats'.

At best, you may be roomies with them but generally, we all serve cats.

Excuse me, my young mistress wants to be held and brushed. She is a tad chilly this morning...

2. hmmmph!

I've already brought out two different breakfast entrees to my two and they sniffed their noses up at both. Now I have to put it all away before I go to work.

3. LOL! That plaintive "Feed Me" MAAHHH is the worst.

Do they add the desparate face that could cause you to believe they haven't eaten in days?

My current feline companion is cool most of the time.
Subtle body language, expressions and the Mrnn-grrk in greeting.

4. My cat sits on my pillow and purrs at me

until I get up. If I don't get up fast enough, he starts punching me with his paw. Pathetic.

6. oh man, the visual!

I laughed my head off at the thought.

7. I have the paw punching too - although Evita lets Abbott do the dirty work

She's the princess and well, Abbott is the court jester

5. Try this one.

I feed my cat and when his bowl is empty, if I don't fill it right away, he goes to the neighbors houses, goes inside and makes himself right at home and waits to see if they will feed him.

It is a good thing my neighbors are tolerant because Disco finds his way into their housES (yes, plural) on a regular basis. They just laugh it off, call me, and tell me he should be on his way home.

That is a street beggar! Luckily over the summer vacation my oldest son has made it a mission that the cat ALWAYS has food in his bowl.



Disco desperately wants to eat the hampster. He is not a cat, he is a pig.

8. You're funnier than Dave Barry, LynneSin!

You've got a great voice, & I firmly believe you should start a column/write a book!

Best,
