My cat snores — Page 3

I've gotten the cat I sit for hooked on Smartfood (cheese popcorn).


I've told her owners I take full responsibility and will pay for her rehab.

My male cat used to eat popcorn, the female, too if it had butter on it.

He used to eat potato chips, Doritos, Cheetos, crackers, even bread if you hand-fed him and you were eating it.

The female loved to eat the cantaloupe rind when you were done with the melon.

They hated anything citrus and would RUN from oranges, etc.

Oh, yeah, and they threw up a lot.

(They had canned food, dry food, anything we ate that they wanted, etc. and the female would chew grass outdoors.)

My cats loved catnip.

It made them very silly and dizzy.

You wondered what they were seeing when they walked funny.

We just got a cat this weekend (Saturday)

The shelter claims he's 4, but I don't buy it (I think he's younger)

One thing's for certain: He's a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

1) He CONSTANTLY kneads. You know, that things cat's do where they massage the pillow they're sitting on with their front paws.

2) He doesn't seem to understand the basic cat game, Hunt Stalk Pounce Kill.

3) He does not self-groom at ALL


We theorize that he was taken away from his mother too early and therefore didn't learn these things from her. Does that make sense?

My cats are so cute. My roommate and I have two, Lolita and Jenna Jameson, and I have no idea how I could have ever gotten along without them.

My Lo is a mega witch, but she's incredibly gorgeous and has these sporadic moments of kindness. (She needs kitty anti-depressants.) She also has a nervous habit of licking all of her fur off her tummy and in weird spots on her legs. Lo also curses a lot at us (we're pretty sure she's called us See You Next Tuesdays), but her favorite is the f-bomb.

JJ is a little black fluffball who walks around from room to room, crying in her tiny little kitty voice. I don't know why, since she knows my roommate and I are in the living room, but I guess she's just checking to see if anyone else is around. She and our toilet were pretty hot and heavy in the summer months. She and Justin (yes, we named the toilet) spooned whenever it got too hot. However, she seems to have lost interest and has moved on to the bathtub. But she and Justin are still friends. JJ also has a little pig filled with cat nip and sometimes she hugs it while she's sleeping.

They're both disgustingly adorable. I can't wait to go home now, so that I can torment them with hugs and kisses.

Yes yes yes we named our cat Fiyero! I know-- It was my boyfriend, but he made the absolutely right choice! Fiyero has a royal bearing and he is constantly "Dancing through Life": He dances back and forth when you pet him. If it makes you happy, we call him "Buddy" mostly.

As for the Kneading-- Fiyero does it so much I did some research on it-- Some people call it "Baking Biscuits" because the cat's paws look like they are kneading invisible dough. Vets speculate that a cat does this only when he is at his very happiest: Cats' earliest memories are of being with their mothers, drinking her warm milk; when they nurse, kittens "Knead" the mother's belly to help the milk to flow. Hence, when adult cats are very content, they are subconsciously reminded of that happy time and begin to "knead" in response.

It made me happy to learn that: I'm glad to know he's as happy with us as we are with him.

Elphaba-- I love you. And your cat.
