Cats!

I had a booklet once which said something like, how clever is your cat!

I already knew mine was hopeless, but thought I would do the tests with it anyway.

It scored two out of ten. Three at a push.

Genuine cat speak for "I'm a permanent tripping hazard unless you provide my breakfast immediately"

Our cat used to start the night sleeping at the bottom of DD’s bed.

In the morning DD would be on top of duvet at bottom of bed, and cat would have his head on the pillow and body under duvet.

Neither of them were ever eager to get up.

Cats always weave in and out of your legs when you're going somewhere important, like to the door, or the toilet, or to answer the phone.

Why does my cat always take a circuitous route? He weaves in and out, never a straightforward jaunt!

They are all completely bonkers I think

The difference between dog people and cat people:

Dog people wish their dogs were people and cat people wish they were cats

My friends cat used to sleep in her bathroom sink.
No blanket, no cover, just the leaky old sink.

Lol! Cat beds are a waste of money lol

You just need to leave whatever you are doing for 30 seconds and there will be a cat asleep in it or on it that looks like they were there for hours

Yes, and they fight tooth and nail if you try to entice them into the £40 sheepskin cat hammock for over the radiator.

What I envy most is how they always look comfortable

Cram themselves half in and half out a shoe for some weird reason and still make it look heaven

They do sometimes look embarrassed, like when they misjudge a jump, and miss.

So so true!

2 of my cats are getting older now and just cannot make the jumps they used to but do not learn... I am going to have to start cat proofing some of the furniture

Also, why do they pick a spot to sleep and refuse to sleep anywhere else for the next 2 weeks even if that is half way up the stairs

They do sometimes look embarrassed, like when they misjudge a jump, and miss.

I have been airing the house out s but and saw my cat just dangling fully stretched from the top window... I had to go and fetch her down because she didn't seem to know how to get out of that situation

I don't know how they can be so dignified and daft at the same time

DDs cat goes to the front door to be let out but if it's raining goes to the back door in case the weather is somehow better the other side of the house.

does anyone watch ‘Simon’s Cat’ on youtube? the early ones, “Let me in” being our favourite, 16 years old and still funny

Yes, I watch it.
It's so clever!
They have a cat down to a tee.

Amazon have reduced their use of boxes. I have managed to get a couple from friends and he squeezed his big, fat self into a large shoe box.
He’s another one who has two large cat flaps but he sits and waits for the door to be opened.
He comes to me for kisses and cuddles and my husband for a fight.

On the subject of cats, does anyone else "see" their cat when you definitely know they've gone out. I swear I see Marmalade out the corner of my eye, hear him or feel him brushing past me when I know full well he's just gone out the cat flap. This isn't all the time but enough to make me doubt my sanity.

Is it just me? Just for clarity, I only do this with the cat and otherwise I'm in control of my faculties.

My grandcat (son’s cat) has a cat tunnel into the house. The builders of the extension were a bit bemused when they were asked to build one. The cat uses it to come in, but why use it to go out when you can sit by the door and meow till your human slave opens it for you?

I love cats!

My neighbour’s cat will sit on their front windowsill in pouring rain rather than walk five yards to his cat flap.

He wears a collar with a camera, and, oh my, the places he goes to! He’s a Six Dinner Sid and his house staff have make appeals to neighbours not to feed him. He doesn’t look as though he’ll fade away any time soon.

Mine are just the same. They are just keeping us under the thumb I think!

We have a perfectly good cat flap in the Utility room leading to the back garden, which Milo and Ripley are happy to use. But sometimes, once or twice a week they go through the cat flap and then trot round to the front of the house and scratch at the front door. Mad.

My friend's cat trained her to go outside and post him through the cat flap, so he could come in.

We have a cat flap in our little office.
Our cat sits and meows either outside our bedroom window or at the kitchen door.
He will use the cat flap at night or if we're not in.
He's definitely in charge in this house.

My cat has a cat flap in the back door. We also have patio doors in the lounge. He will sit outside the patio doors meowing piteously rather than take the easy way of using the catflap. Cats rule!!
