I know. I'm a total pushover with her because a little part of me always thinks, "She might not live much longer and then you'll be sorry that you didn't let her clean her butthole on you while you were trying to sleep." sigh.

it's fall so it's time for my cat to sit with her arms and legs underneath her and pretend she is very small and warm

my cats are the worst I love them

i love my cat too. i love when she waits for me to come home from work and jumps off my bed when i come in the door. how can an animal be so interested in a human. i think she's gained weight though, needs to go on a diet.

horribl ecreature (harbl), Friday, 21 September 2012 01:34 (eleven years ago) link

she is a bad cat though, yeah

we had to leave our cat in australia when we moved back to england, it was/is v traumatic.

have any of you cat people read ON CATS by doris lessing? it's really good (and short).

I went to the Cat's Protection for my friend's birthday to pet some cats. They were all too adorable, but I met the cat that should be mine. Except we can't have one yet. She was lovely. We cuddled. Now I am sad.

One of my little bastards SPRAYED the couch for no apparent reason. WTF, cats? I am considering how bad you are.

Husband has taken to wheelbarrowing one of the cats. He'll lift up her back legs and off they'll go, with her pumping away her back legs even though they are not touching the ground!

The other cat won't budge when he picks up his (the cat's) back legs, so not very entertaining.

that photo of myrrha looks like it was taken from underneath a glass table

<3 that was a good mookie move

estela, Saturday, 22 September 2012 05:58 (eleven years ago) link

that cat looks like trouble!

horribl ecreature (harbl), Saturday, 22 September 2012 11:58 (eleven years ago) link

Trouble in such a pretty package, though. Look at those slender little white feet!

check the name, no caps, boom, i'm (Laurel), Saturday, 22 September 2012 12:00 (eleven years ago) link

Yay mookie! That is one lucky kitty :)

quincie, Saturday, 22 September 2012 14:21 (eleven years ago) link

holy fucking whiskers

catbus otm (gbx), Saturday, 22 September 2012 16:22 (eleven years ago) link

the sensory reception cone on that cat is HUGE

catbus otm (gbx), Saturday, 22 September 2012 16:22 (eleven years ago) link

when my cat is sleeping and i pet her she wakes up and says "MURRR" or "MEH"

horribl ecreature (harbl), Saturday, 22 September 2012 16:41 (eleven years ago) link

not "meh"

horribl ecreature (harbl), Saturday, 22 September 2012 16:41 (eleven years ago) link

mrrrah?

clouds, Saturday, 22 September 2012 16:53 (eleven years ago) link

Mine does that, too! It's like "mmmbbbrrrrup?" One of her nicknames is "Merple" because she "merrrrps" a lot.

MOOKIE that cat is a good cat.

carl agatha, Saturday, 22 September 2012 16:56 (eleven years ago) link

yeah also when she is going crazy running around she goes brrrrrrrup. i think it's like a grunt but high pitched because she is small and not a lion.

horribl ecreature (harbl), Saturday, 22 September 2012 17:07 (eleven years ago) link

"mmmbbbrrrrup?"

It's this! Best version of that cat hello.

mookie, that cat is a beauty.

emil.y, Sunday, 23 September 2012 00:47 (eleven years ago) link

I love that little cat chirp/mrrrp/brrrp.

Good luck with the cat, mookie. Is it a little boycat or a girlcat?

tokyo rosemary, Sunday, 23 September 2012 03:38 (eleven years ago) link

i hope that little cat is a rampant elbow leaner.

estela, Sunday, 23 September 2012 04:43 (eleven years ago) link

i want to adopt a cat immediately

catbus otm (gbx), Sunday, 23 September 2012 17:15 (eleven years ago) link

tho i'm certain that's illegal in mn on sundays

catbus otm (gbx), Sunday, 23 September 2012 17:15 (eleven years ago) link

i've always been curious about the provenance of one of the two cats we got from a shelter a couple of years ago. she has a really distinctive look and i finally got around to looking at descriptions of various breeds to see if she fit the criteria. i'm now 99% certain she's a Turkish Van - she has the markings and her personality is eerily, freakily similar to the breed description.

i'd always thought her many endearing quirks and eccentricities were unique to her alone. kinda weird to find that she's so close to the typical personality of this particular breed. it's a bit like finding out phrenology is legit or something. anyone got any experience in the oddball world of cat breeding?

anyway, she's still the best cat ever. here she is chillin in her bed on the radiator:

(ps good luck with the kitty, mookie)

bizarro gazzara, Monday, 24 September 2012 15:02 (eleven years ago) link

They are energetic; they play hard and sleep hard.

johnny crunch, Monday, 24 September 2012 16:16 (eleven years ago) link

Hey, that looks like one of my cats! She definitely has the fascination with water trait.

quincie, Monday, 24 September 2012 16:19 (eleven years ago) link

someone beat me to that cat : /

she is a girl (and momma); i was considering (re-)naming her estela

mookieproof, Saturday, 29 September 2012 02:56 (eleven years ago) link

Awww, sorry mookie.

emil.y, Saturday, 29 September 2012 02:57 (eleven years ago) link

There is another cat for you.

carl agatha, Saturday, 29 September 2012 04:01 (eleven years ago) link

yah, i know

i just don't want to compare it unfavorably to lyle

mookieproof, Saturday, 29 September 2012 04:19 (eleven years ago) link

emil.y why are you catless

mookieproof, Saturday, 29 September 2012 04:20 (eleven years ago) link

my cat cries when i am gone. i can hear her when i'm on my way in. i hope she isn't annoying the neighbors :(

horribl ecreature (harbl), Saturday, 29 September 2012 12:14 (eleven years ago) link

harbly, whatever the scenario your cat always sounds rotten.

mookie, i'm sorry you didn't get that cat and i hope you find your one true cat soon.

estela, Saturday, 29 September 2012 12:39 (eleven years ago) link

also i like that you considered calling that cat estela, though i was struck by how much she looked like my friend mike.

estela, Saturday, 29 September 2012 12:45 (eleven years ago) link

i love my cat!

horribl ecreature (harbl), Saturday, 29 September 2012 12:45 (eleven years ago) link

but it is like how people love their kids and they are rotten

horribl ecreature (harbl), Saturday, 29 September 2012 12:45 (eleven years ago) link

i love rotten pets.

estela, Saturday, 29 September 2012 12:51 (eleven years ago) link

harbl, maybe she hasn't been crying the whole time but just hears your approach?

clouds, Saturday, 29 September 2012 13:06 (eleven years ago) link

i was thinking that. it is possible.
