WHY IS SHE STARING AT ME???

She's had her bedtime biscuits. She's had a play in her cat tunnel. Boy cat has gone to sleep. She's been sitting staring at me for the last half hour while I've been trying to watch TV.
Do you think she's trying to mind beam something into my brain? Or does she just want to sit in my warm spot when I get up?

(Not a lap cat. Looks cute, will swipe you given half a chance. Only loves 17yr old DS)

Ollie's expressions really make me laugh. I've never seen such an expressive face on a cat. Snorg once gave me absolute daggers once. Not sure what I'd done wrong. But it was quite intimidating 😁

@Fluffycloudland77

Were you up later than usual? If we had guests our departed Bengal would sit behind them on the console table giving us “why are they here? It is BEDTIME” looks.
Yes a bit later as I'm on holiday, maybe that was it!

You interrupted her night time routine by the sound of it. Do it again tonight and see what she does.

Oh these cats faces are amazing! Our old boy used to sit at bang on 11pm waiting for my ed to go to bed so he could steal her seat.
@MaybeHeIsMyCat hope you made it through the night unscathed Grin

MaybeHeIsMyCat · 30/12/2021 14:05

I found this one of him too when he was fuming at the vet

ReginaaPhalange · 30/12/2021 14:23

@MaybeHeIsMyCat this was after she had to have a bath! She had been sick and for some unknown reason, decided to roll around in it!!!!! I slept with one eye open that night!!

Don't worry, I'm not in the habit of bathing the cat!!

This is the look!!!
Ooh that is a look, I'd be afraid, very afraid if I were you definitely plotting something.

I'm amazed you are still alive to tell the tale. Perhaps it's the lack of thumbs that are foiling her plans.

MaybeHeIsMyCat · 30/12/2021 14:28

@ReginaaPhalange I'm amazed you survived that. Mine won't even go into the bathroom "for HOOMANS ONLY, an too WET" in case he accidentally falls in to water

ReginaaPhalange · 30/12/2021 14:32

@MaybeHeIsMyCat oh this one watches me in the bath! Pervert cat

@CassandraCross ive no idea how I'm still alive either! To be fair, she's been niceish to me the last day...... hmmmm?!

ReginaaPhalange · 30/12/2021 15:29

@MaybeHeIsMyCat wait what? Has some random cat just swaggered in to watch you bathe?!

Pretty much. He's been visiting for 3 years now, he lets himself in or bangs on the window

ReginaaPhalange · 30/12/2021 15:32

@MaybeHeIsMyCat hahaha brilliant!!!

You do have your hospital bag packed, don't you?

ReginaaPhalange · 30/12/2021 15:38

@NeverDropYourMooncup yep! All packed in case of labour or admission due to cat related injury!

ladymalfoy · 30/12/2021 15:39

Does anyone else's DK wake them up just so you have to watch them eat?
Mine will beep and squeak like she's starving when her dishes or full but just wants me to come down and watch her stuff her face.
Power trip I reckon.

ReginaaPhalange · 30/12/2021 15:40

Oh my god 😍😍😍😍 look at her right this second!!! I think I'm safe for now, providing I don't wake her!!!!

Mine does this, occasionally accompanied by a few short quiet sound. I think it translates as 'there is a problem with my small world that requires your assistance to fix'. I then have to try and work out what the issue is.
