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)

Look at that face from DCat ❤️ meeting her baby brother for the first time! Very protective - watches what I'm doing but doesn't get too close as spooks and runs away to a safe distance.

Ah, that's lovely! Congratulations on your new arrival ReginaaPhalange. Gorgeous cat, too!

Cat ‘food? Is it food? Has it got food?’

That is a lovely picture, ReginaaPhalange, I reckon your cat is saying "You know that bed thing you think is for you to sleep in, well, think again I have claimed it."

My bishop friends cat is extremely unimpressed about the Pope's comments about having pets.

Tell him he's right. It was a stupid thing to say.

It’s a brave Pope who takes on cat people.

Toddlerteaplease · 07/01/2022 15:39

Too right!

That's the look I remember from my cats when we brought DD home. Every time she really wailed, one of the cats would give me the "I didn't sign up for this" look and would scarper out the cat flap until she calmed down.

Awwww that's so lovely💗💗💗

So back to the main point in this amazing thread "why is she staring at me?". DCat is everywhere in the shadows when I'm dealing with DS. She's in the shadows lurking and staring when I'm feeding and changing him and i still get the occasional stink eye of "what IS this?"

@ReginaaPhalange - cat in baby cradle best picture. How’s things progressing?

ReginaaPhalange · 15/01/2022 20:22

@Kenwouldmixitup DCat is still observing from afar. Will peek into Moses basket if walking past, otherwise, still no sign of affection yet lol!!

Love this (old) thread! It’s been 4 years. FOUR! Girl Cat still hates the baby who is not a baby anymore. Boy Cat more tolerant too old to really get away

This was Girl Cat the first night we brought the baby home. Nothing, absolutely nothing, has changed.
