    Lucky You! Jonas doesn't bite. I'm having a bad cat day. :cry:

    Yeah..he's just a licker, not a biter...and it's not as bad as it use to be...when i lived in my apartment, he did it almost every morning and wouldn't stop. I'm sure there were plenty of mornings that my neighbors could hear me yelling "Stop licking me!" through the paper thin walls. :lol: :shock:
    Show #13 was a lucky one for me....

    I'm about to shoot my kitty with a water gun. I have never done this to him.. He is being very bad today, and he is 14 yrs old, so he knows better.

    I either squirt him with water, or give him a Valium. He needs to calm down.

    I know the 5am wailing all too well. Mine will meow at that time so it sounds like she's dying. I ignore her, she jumps on the bed and meows more. I still ignore her she tries climbing on top of me. I still ignore her she starts biting my toes. I've let this go on for as long as 2 hours sometimes, in an effort to not positively reinforce this behavior by giving her what she wants (which is of course, food.) It didn't help :lol: thing is she doesn't do it ever night. Sometimes she'll do it every night for a week, sometimes one night in many weeks. It's totally sporadic. If it were every night I'd buy one of those spray bottle things.

    cat wakes me up in the middle of the night by walking around on the bed and on me and on my bladder.

    so during the day, when I find her curled up under the bedspread sleeping, I wake her up :mrgreen:

    everytime I see her sleeping, I just give her a nudge or two to waker her up. she sleeps 23.9 hours a day, rest of the time she is waking me up in the middle of the night.

    had a cat on an air mattress one time... thing was a little deflated

    went to scare the shit out of it... jumped on the air mattress... ooops there goes the cat through the air :lol:

    :lol:

    well, our cat must have went through a lot when she was young, she is 13 years old now and she is very hesitant about letting anyone near her, will run away when you come close and if she does come up on the sofa she will jump off if you make any type of movement at all.

    Mr. Thompson sits at my windowsill in the morning too and meows, little bastard. :x He sounds like he's yelling 'Helloooo, Hellooo! ' then I go off my nut and feed him his stinky disgusting food.
    That in itself pisses me right off because he won't get his stupid head out the way for me to get the food out. :roll: he ends up with half of it on his head.

    we had a cat when i was a kid, if you walked around the house barefoot, your feet and toes got attacked :x

    Our new kitten just came running down the stairs with one end of toilet paper in his mouth - thought the whole roll was a goner, but it got snagged going around the corner! Wish I had video!

    When my cat was a kitten, early in the morning she'd get a running start from the other room....come running in my bedroom full steam, jump up on the bed, on my chest....would scare the shit outta me and she'd run off but not before digging her back claws in. Talk about not fun! :lol:

    Aww! George still does that running BOOM and puffs up his tail in the process.

    I love how cats are really just bigass kittens who realize they can't get away with silly, undignified behavior anymore (and know that we'll laugh and point when they attempt it). They usually counter this with a lazy yawn or indifferent lick of the paw.

    Shameful, really.

    Oh look at this nice little hand-woven rug Brian and Celia brought back from Amish country some years ago! How long do think it will take for me to destroy it? :twisted:

    Confucious bit the crap out of me yesterday. Today he scratched me. I'm still bloody.

    I am so mad! He is hiding downstairs under the dining room table. He has gone nuts!


    Valium is my only option. :cry:

    He has lost his kitty mind. :cry:

    14 years together... I know my cat. He is crazy. The vets have found nothing psychically wrong.
    he is just old and crazy. ...

    AHHH! he is purring and squeaking at me. :nono: FRUCK you Confucious!

    He really frucked me up today. I'm lucky if it heals. :(

    anyone want a kitty? ;)

    I'm going to kill him, I just caught him eating the box turtle's fake plants. :fp: He is allergic to plastic. The last vet bill was 200$. My female turtle just hissed at him. WTF, am I going to do?

    Valium after his breakfast. I have no choice. :cry:

    the other thing the cat does is what we call "kitty rodeo". I think lazing around all day and night causes her to have some pent up energy and she just runs like crazy all over the place. we can hear her do this up stairs, back and forth between all the rooms. usually only lasts about a minute, then it's back to nap time

    :fp:

    and i wake up at 5 a.m., so no use in going back to sleep.

    :fp: :fp:

    oh, and does she have to get it all out in shifts, leaving a hairball here, a puddle of bile there, and then another few drops over there?
