I love it when cats…

Decide to furiously lickwash a postage stamp area, usually on their side, and fully disregard washing any other bits. The postage stamp area looks like it’s been gelled down with some 80’s Wella.

That’s like me washing a 3 inch area on my left thigh and then smugly going, that’s me, I’m done. All fresh.

So, I love it when cats…??

I love it when cats eat to the bottom of their bowl and then tell you it's empty and they are starving despite the masses of food around the edge. Hmm

The only way to get them to eat again is to scrape the food over the offending empty patch.

I love it when cats close their eyes at me.

I love it when cats sit with their paws tucked under their chests so they look like they have boobies Grin

I love it when cats DO NOT wake me up at 4am to tell me they want to play 🙄

AuntieJoyce · 28/07/2021 20:45

Snoring! Just so cute

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 28/07/2021 20:46

I love it that I can be sat down 10 seconds and youngest cat immediately climbs on me to get comfy.

When you get up to go to the kitchen and you come back and they’ve taken your seat on the sofa and it’s totally fair enough, so you just sit somewhere else.

MyMumTracyBeaker · 28/07/2021 21:04

When they have cat dreams and you can tell they're chasing mice!

MrsIronfoundersson · 28/07/2021 21:07

When they chatter uncontrollably when watching birds! One of mine does it all the time then looks embarrassed when I speak to him.

Gormless · 28/07/2021 21:08

I love it when they watch tv. I would love to know what they think. Ours are especially taken with any equestrian events in the Olympics right now.

Snuggle up to me in bed.

I love it when they sit with head out of the cat flap, body inside, having a look and a sniff before they commit to going out. And then rinse and repeat at every door or window because of their insistence each exit to the house has its own microclimate.

TabbyStar · 28/07/2021 21:19

I love it when cats knock something until it falls off the table then look over the edge in surprise that it's on the floor.

Oh! Smilest cat ever! ❤️

We have this. She truly believes that if it’s raining outside the back of the house then the front might well be sunny and 25 degrees. Never learns and looks at us as if it’s our fault.

I love it when my 2 sit lovingly together..
Dcat1 lost his db last year. Little black one restored him.

Oh yes. Honestly Cheddar, I love you to bits. But you don't need to tell me you love me by making biscuits on my face at 3am.

The cat is smiling! Smile
LittleCatDog · 28/07/2021 21:49

When my cat snores louder than a human and I think it's DH and wake him up and realise it's the cat Grin it's unbelievably loud!

MorriseysGladioli · 28/07/2021 21:50

I like it when they do something silly then get embarrassed.
They pretend they meant to do it.

Ibizafun · 28/07/2021 21:54

I love it when they trample their paws in a trance.. nothing like it.

JoanOgden · 28/07/2021 22:00

I love it when I wake up in the night and hear a quiet slurping sound which is the cat grooming herself. So restful.

Toddlerteaplease · 28/07/2021 22:14

Oh yes. I love a snoring cat. Except when she suddenly stops. She wasn't impressed when I poked her to check she was still breathing!

Sidge · 28/07/2021 22:18

I love it when my cat does boops. Comes up and nudges me with her nose, and tries to give me kisses.

Also when she’s all curled up like a pretzel.

Apanicaday · 28/07/2021 22:25

I love it when one of my two sits outside the closed front window meowing until one of us gets up and opens it to let her in - at which point she walks straight through the house and goes out of the catflap in the back door. Makes me laugh! I wish I understood the thought process!
