Sleeping.

― may pang (maypang), Friday, 9 January 2004 08:05 (twenty-two years ago)

sitting on the hood of the car.

― Orbit (Orbit), Friday, 9 January 2004 08:07 (twenty-two years ago)

curled up sleeping by a heat vent. i'm guessing out of the past 200 hours he has been doing that exact same thing for 198.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 9 January 2004 08:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Sleeping in his "secret hiding place" on the top-most shelf of the closet in my foyer. How he actually gets up there, I'm not sure; I've never actually seen him climb up there. I think there is enough random detritus in there that he finds a sturdy enough point from which to leap the final distance.

― Broheems (diamond), Friday, 9 January 2004 08:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Well one of them's dying of cancer, one's outside my door trying to get me to give it pellets it won't eat, the other one's prob asleep

― Silly Sailor (Andrew Thames), Friday, 9 January 2004 08:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Curled on the arm of the couch six feet away from me, half asleep. He's waiting for me to go to bed.

― Aaron A., Friday, 9 January 2004 08:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Cats!

― may pang (maypang), Friday, 9 January 2004 08:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Slowly going senile. It's quite amusing but also very sad.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Friday, 9 January 2004 08:13 (twenty-two years ago)

today just for the hell of it I put Pepper up on top of the entertainment center/bookshelf thingee. It's really high, close to the ceiling. There's a bunch of crap on it. I wanted to see if he'd try to jump down or not. Then I got distracted for five minutes, came back, and found him on the ground along with my now-broken 7th grade basketball championship trophy. I was more pissed about having missed his leap.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 9 January 2004 08:14 (twenty-two years ago)

sleeping on my bed

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 9 January 2004 08:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Cats. All they do is sleep.

― may pang (maypang), Friday, 9 January 2004 08:17 (twenty-two years ago)

And break stuff too, I guess.

― may pang (maypang), Friday, 9 January 2004 08:17 (twenty-two years ago)

all the stuff

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 9 January 2004 08:21 (twenty-two years ago)

My cat got off the couch, came in and meowed at me ("Don't you think it's about time for bed, bub?"), and now it's just sitting there in the hall.

― Aaron A., Friday, 9 January 2004 08:23 (twenty-two years ago)

slocki does your cat sleep on your bed often? mine does and my nose is nearly constantly a bit stuffed up. but what am I gonna do, refuse his plaintive mourns for late-night cuddling?

― oops (Oops), Friday, 9 January 2004 08:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I suffer chronic nasal congestion, too.

― Aaron A., Friday, 9 January 2004 08:30 (twenty-two years ago)

My cat's siamese and when he's not sleeping he's busy being a fucking asshole. More on this as the day progresses.

― may pang (maypang), Friday, 9 January 2004 08:30 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah oops, but what can i do? it's usually late at night like now, and then i go to bed and she gets up and either a) goes to sleep quietly somewhere else or b) runs around like a maniac knocking everything over

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 9 January 2004 08:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't know how people deal with long-hairs, though they are very nice to pet. My cat sheds a complete wig for Cher each day and he's short-haired.

xpost what is up with cats suddenly freaking out and running around like posessed speed-freaks at 3AM?

― oops (Oops), Friday, 9 January 2004 08:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, I always let my cats sleep on the bed. I mean, they seem to want to, and I'm not allergic or anything. And I have a nice decent queen-size.

May, my family's first cat was a siamese. It was actually older than I was! Amazing cat, it lived to be like 18; I think I was 15 or so when he died, very sad. He had the deepest, gruffest miaow.

― Broheems (diamond), Friday, 9 January 2004 08:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Probably at this moment, Emily will be asleep in her basket and Sophie will be asleep in one of the chairs which are upside down on the dining room table (they are that way to stop the cats sleeping on the cushions, Sophie has decided that it's just as comfy to sleep on the underside of the cushion which is made of plywood).

― Rob M (Rob M), Friday, 9 January 2004 08:47 (twenty-two years ago)

My cat is terrified of me.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Friday, 9 January 2004 10:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Why, Nick, what did you do to it?

My cat is currently chasing a pipecleaner around the house.

― cis (cis), Friday, 9 January 2004 11:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I relented. "Enjoy" yr pellets, Sheena

― Silly Sailor (Andrew Thames), Friday, 9 January 2004 11:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Sleeping. No surprises there, then. When I last saw him, he was curled up on the living room window-ledge.

― caitlin (caitlin), Friday, 9 January 2004 11:19 (twenty-two years ago)

She's terrified of me since I stood on her in the dark ages ago.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Friday, 9 January 2004 11:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Guilt

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Friday, 9 January 2004 11:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Right now my (ex) cat is living in the ocuntry, there she has the entire sauna for herself most days of the week. Sauna is her new home and she rarery leaves it willingly.
So, "in all probability, my (ex) cat is in the sauna, looking out of one of its two windows, feeling vaguely annoyed and quite bored."

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Friday, 9 January 2004 11:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I read somewhere that cats who are allowed to sleep with their owners are generally happier.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 9 January 2004 14:18 (twenty-two years ago)

One of my cats (the retarded one) is no doubt staring plaintively at the bathtub, wishing for the water to turn on so he can bite it and swim around. He's a fishcat.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 9 January 2004 14:18 (twenty-two years ago)

My cat sleeps w/me when she's not slutting herself round

Those are my cats.

You can probably guess which one is deaf and retarded. And fat.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 9 January 2004 14:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Your cats have cool eyes!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 9 January 2004 14:26 (twenty-two years ago)

That's because they're demonspawn!

Asleep in the towel drawer

― Øystein H-O (Øystein H-O), Friday, 9 January 2004 14:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Saffy is probably either asleep on the corner of the bed, on the couch, or on the chair where she can stare at my murderous fish. (He killed his bowlmate. I'm convinced of this.)

If someone is coming home, she will appear in the hallway to greet them, then will come the playing with toys and the climbing all over you, the couch, and any other flat surface where she knows Cats Don't Go (on tables, on counters, on stovetops, etc).

Although lately she's taken a fancy to hanging out in the bathtub. Maybe because she hasn't gotten a bath in awhile.

― Catty (Catty), Friday, 9 January 2004 14:42 (twenty-two years ago)

One is taking a bath on the bed, the other is sitting on some cushions in the living room, apparently not sleeping because when I walked in the room she looked up at me like "What?"

― NA (Nick A.), Friday, 9 January 2004 14:45 (twenty-two years ago)

The boy is currently keeping my wife's nightshirt from levitating off of the bed.

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Friday, 9 January 2004 14:46 (twenty-two years ago)

The last I saw him, he bit me and I started crying.

― Allyzay, Friday, 9 January 2004 15:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm at work right now which means my cat is probably either still asleep or killing time by watching squirrels from the living room window. The lazy jerk.

― may pang (maypang), Friday, 9 January 2004 16:42 (twenty-two years ago)

My cats live with my parents, but I am fairly sure they are sleeping.

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Friday, 9 January 2004 16:59 (twenty-two years ago)

At my parents house, sleeping atop the piano, probably. And look down in disdain at the big black evil dog who is trying to eat him.

― Kingfishee (Kingfish), Friday, 9 January 2004 18:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Watching the news and looking annoyed that I disturbed her.

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 9 January 2004 18:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Old grouch cat: lying on the bed in a huff.
Aloof cat: lying at the top of the stairs, directly above a warm heating pipe.
Mentalist kitten: no idea, but it probably wanton destruction of furniture.

― Tag (Tag), Friday, 9 January 2004 19:16 (twenty-two years ago)

My cat's siamese and when he's not sleeping he's busy being a fucking asshole.

My cat is a Himalayan, but also a fucking asshole. Currently, he's probably asleep on my sweater shelf in the closet or crapping in the shower.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 9 January 2004 19:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I learned it from you!

Nothing wrong with her eye. Flash photos never work on cats.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Sunday, 11 January 2004 07:01 (twenty-two years ago)

The top one's white hair is starting to turn yellow, like an old man's.

― may pang (maypang), Sunday, 11 January 2004 07:17 (twenty-two years ago)

more pix of cats snoozing on music gear, plz

― Kingfishee (Kingfish), Sunday, 11 January 2004 07:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Cat update: my cats are also engaging in the secret society behavior described by Sarah, i.e. chasing each other around and hissing and biting like they're not domesticated.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Sunday, 11 January 2004 07:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Cat fight!

― may pang (maypang), Sunday, 11 January 2004 07:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, FIVE cats :-)

(Plus a dog who sometimes curls up in a box next to the radiator. I think he might have species issues.)

― mei (mei), Sunday, 11 January 2004 07:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Pepper is scared of my drums so this will have to do. Major props to anyone who can name the cd.

Is that a cow on the back cover?

― may pang (maypang), Sunday, 11 January 2004 08:34 (twenty-two years ago)

okay same picture, let's see if I can do this without using a link.

i have no clue where the cat is.

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 11 January 2004 08:35 (twenty-two years ago)

that the CD is on Island/Def Jam, that's for sure.

― Kingfishee (Kingfish), Sunday, 11 January 2004 08:36 (twenty-two years ago)

woohoo!

no, not a cow, and looking at that I now see it's basically impossible to guess what it is.
Minor props to the K-fishee.

― oops (Oops), Sunday, 11 January 2004 08:38 (twenty-two years ago)

If you just bought vinyl instead then we wouldn't be having this conversation right now.

― may pang (maypang), Sunday, 11 January 2004 08:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Next you can guess which brand of remote control I have.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Sunday, 11 January 2004 08:45 (twenty-two years ago)

unless i'm wrong, you have a remote made by General Instruments/Comcast.

― Kingfishee (Kingfish), Sunday, 11 January 2004 08:56 (twenty-two years ago)

You're absolutely right. Damn.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Sunday, 11 January 2004 09:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Anyway, our cats are totally into that secret cat society tradition of running back and forth like a stampede in the wee hours of the morning.

That's why mine goes outside whenever he wants to, so he can stampede up and down the street without waking me up.

(of course, he then wakes me up by sitting outside my window and miaowing because he's hungry, or sleepy, or just wants a cuddle.)

― caitlin (caitlin), Sunday, 11 January 2004 11:17 (twenty-two years ago)

MINE IS...

sleeping. (!!!)

― Francis Watlington (Francis Watlington), Sunday, 11 January 2004 20:59 (twenty-two years ago)

heh.

― Aaron A., Sunday, 11 January 2004 22:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I want to trade mine in for a dog.

― may pang (maypang), Sunday, 11 January 2004 22:30 (twenty-two years ago)

cat is AWOL

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 11 January 2004 22:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I like food, therefore I name my cats after food.

One, whom I found in an alley, is called Haggis. That's a Scottish sausage.

The wee one, who is still a Kitty McNugget and wee, is called Kipper. Which is a wee-er fish.

They're Pro Cat Wrestling, at the moment.

― Ali Skye, Monday, 12 January 2004 05:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Meow, Meow Mow Mow. Mew? Meow meow meow. Meow! Mew Mew Prrrrr.

That's for all the cats logged onto ILM right now.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Monday, 12 January 2004 07:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Anxiously anticipating my turning off the computer and going to bed. Like every night.

Such cute cats picture on this thread, each and every one. (hehe X-post)

That's what my cat would look like if it wasn't an incredible fat-ass.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 12 January 2004 08:05 (twenty-two years ago)

What a beauty!

― Aaron A., Monday, 12 January 2004 08:07 (twenty-two years ago)

My cat is so pathetic. He's like, 'aren't you ever going to go to bed'?

― Broheems (diamond), Monday, 12 January 2004 08:07 (twenty-two years ago)

my cat is rotting in hell!

― fucking ay, Monday, 12 January 2004 08:10 (twenty-two years ago)

All cats go to heaven, fucking.

― Aaron A., Monday, 12 January 2004 08:26 (twenty-two years ago)

One, whom I found in an alley, is called Haggis. That's a Scottish sausage.

A Scottish pudding, you mean.

(well, technically, they are little wild animals that run around the Highlands, but are very easy to catch. But the *real* haggises are now an endangered species, having being hunted to almost extinction, so we have to make do with the sort made from offal instead.)

― caitlin (caitlin), Monday, 12 January 2004 11:26 (twenty-two years ago)

He's confused now.

― Allyzay, Monday, 12 January 2004 17:08 (twenty-two years ago)

My cat also lives with my parents. (Technically, I guess it makes him *their* cat.) Anyway, he's 9 months old and his name is Enzo and he's black, white, and stripey. He's most likely sleeping now. I miss him.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Monday, 12 January 2004 17:11 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll tell you what he's not doing, and that's sleeping on my bed - he was banished at 3 am because he ran across my face with his little cat claws out and scratched me - I don't take well to being woken up that way, so tossed him out into the cold dark living room.

Bwahahaha. Or something.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 12 January 2004 17:16 (twenty-two years ago)

My cat fell asleep wrapped around my arm last night. I don't know what he's doing now, probably trying to wrap himself around something else.

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 12 January 2004 17:17 (twenty-two years ago)

I made my cat a little web page. He's a bit bigger now.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Monday, 12 January 2004 17:25 (twenty-two years ago)

awwwww...

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 12 January 2004 17:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Wow Jeanne, your cat is like a very cute Two-Face.

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 12 January 2004 17:32 (twenty-two years ago)

The two cats in our house are taking the dry dog food out of the dogs' bowls and batting each individual piece around the kitchen floor before eating it.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Monday, 30 October 2006 11:37 (nineteen years ago)

Junction, Tx is also home to a great many cats due to the constant availability of food.

― -- (688), Monday, 30 October 2006 11:50 (nineteen years ago)

Cesario just came in. He's cleaning himself, and complaining a bit 'cos it's time for his breakfast.

Sophia is sitting on the matress I keep in the hall; when I found her she stared me right in the eyes, very earnestly like "yes, is there something you want from me?"

Hopefully the cat I'm 'borrowing' is pawing through the ACME catalogue, concocting elaborate and violent plans for how he's going to dispose of the mice in my kitchen.

― mei (mei), Monday, 30 October 2006 13:30 (nineteen years ago)

One cat is sitting in the doorway to my office, looking confused; the other one is in my office closet, looking for the perfect place for a big nap.
