To think cats are not pets, more fluffy forms of torture.

4.15am every bloody morning for the last week..she's taking the piss. It's survival of the fittest, who can crack first. She repeatedly paws at the things on my bedside table until they fall on the floor, pulls the lamp cord and walks all over you purring.

I have made the mistake of opening one eye to find myself being eyeballed and it's game over. Tiggy 0 bastard cat 1

thebody Then you have obviously been well trained by your feline masters!

I am very worried about the emotional well-being of my cat. I came out of hospital on Wednesday evening after major leg/ankle surgery. I have to lie in bed with my leg raised & use a wheelchair to get to the loo, no weight at all can go onto bad leg.
Since I got back, she has not left my side, lying on my stomach constantly. She doesn't like the wheelchair, yesterday she lay down in front of it so I thought that I'd slowly roll it forward so that she moved. She didn't. I had to call DH, (loudly, as he was in the utility doing the washing,) to come & move her.
Today, DH brought me a cup of fresh coffee & piece of toast up for breakfast. He asked why I hadn't eaten it so I explained that cat was asleep on my tum so I couldn't sit up/move. He uttered FFS, & disappeared off with younger ch to do the weekly shop.
Cat yawned & stretched her paw out. She neeeeeeeeds the attention!

I can't have cats now (DH is deathly allergic) but I must say I have always had a healthy respect for their ability to inform you that you have displeased them, as in carefully peeing into my garfield slippers when I selfishly went away for a weekend (leaving my flatmate to care for them).

I've always suspected that if you increased the size of a dog to a cow, the dog would still be loving and loyal. If you increased cats to the size of a cow, well they'd kill you, play with you and then eat you.

Twatcat hoisted me out of bed at 6am today after "singing the song of her people" for two hours first. I had to go downstairs and POINT at food I had put there at 3am (after getting up for a wee and being hijacked for grub) however at 3 am, chicken was expected, not Tescos cat food so it had been ignored.
She will soon be napping in front of the fire [resigned face]
