Be careful what you wish for

I love vocal cats. One of the reasons why I had to take Jesse in, was because he was so vocal when we met him. Of course, once we bought him in the apartment, the vocalizing almost stopped. I've had people say, "Don't feel bad, that's a sign you're doing everything right!" which, is very flattering, but I miss the noise

I laughed out loud, especially at the retarded demon part. Best description EVER. :)

Okay I so needed the giggles this post brought me.. thanks Darq!

No problem. My cats live to bring hell to me and amusement to the world!

So Yuki's cat is a Burmese cat. Her name is Coco. Coco is famous in World of Warcraft, at least in our guild and among some other people on our server

Eighteen years old? That's pretty darned good!

I'm not at all surprised that the cry reminds people of a baby. Burmese cats are closely related to Siamese cats. When we lived on anothers street, one night I woke up because I heard a baby crying. This was a really really bad neighborhood, so it wasn't completely out of the question that a baby might have been left out to cry. The summer before, some woman had left her baby in the stroller, on the porch. (she went inside to do something real quick, then sat down for a moment, and fell sound asleep forgetting about the baby.)

So, I got up and went to investigate and instead of a baby, it was a tiny siamese kitten. I "stole" the kitten, and ended up giving him to someone else who treated the cat like gold.

Anyway, you've got to get the video loaded to You Tube. I want to see it.

Remember all the times you giggled at my cats and how they would keep me awake and torture me? Karma is a b*tch, isn't it? :-)

Man, I totally need to do a recording of Snowflake's After-Shower Conversation, in which she regales me with a variety of meows, mrrps, chirps, murmbles and in-between noises that roughly translate to:

Are you finished standing in water? I don't understand why you stand in water. It's so very loud and wet. It is a crazy thing to stand under water. It is warm furry thing that smells like you and petting time, now? *sees Keith, glances at the bathroom faucet, arches her back* and meo-chirps just so, "Please to be turning the water on, other human!"

Aww, Snowflake sounds adorible.

We have a tiny alcove behind the shower, and a window. The window is pretty much useless, because it opens onto the closed in porch. If the bathroom really stinks, we're not going to open the window, for fear of stinking up the porch. However, our landlord doesn't want to give us an exhaust vent, so we must have a window.

Goten loves to sit in that window and inspect everyone coming onto the porch. When I'm taking a shower, he really feels he must be on the window sill, so he stands outside the shower and screams at me, because he doesn't want to cut across the shower and risk getting wet.

If I turn off the shower, to let him cross, he walks across slowly, pausing to lift his paw at each step, shake it, and to look at me in a Most Disapproving Way for the floor being wet.

Then, when I leave the shower, he goes inside and licks the water off the floor. No paw shaking.

Cats were invented to remind us that not every creature thinks as we do.

I think my cats are actually dogs. Except for Snowflake - her cat mommy obviously had sex with a racoon. I suspect siamese are permanently adorable. (She stretches with me, in the morning, too).

Red always asks out when I take a shower, but Ace will sometimes come lay on the bathroom counter. Or he'll sit up in front of the curtain and bat at my shadow, or watch me through the mirror.

He just wants some pepsi from the fridge. Which is cool. Literally :)

[darqstar]

But oddly, every time I offer any cat the chance to sniff my diet pepsi, they give me this look that says, "Lady, you are nuts to be putting that into your mouth!"
