Things you cat does that makes you go GRRRRRR

I love my babies. I really do. I have ten so I must love cats but man there are times they make me want to......well you know

First off there is Gizmo. My oldest and the Queen of the house. She refuses to use the litter box. I now have eight old towel/rugs that I leave one at a time on the bathroom floor that she will use as her "space" to do her business. Grrr she really steams my mean sometimes. I am sure if she had a box to herself she would use it but that is not possible in a household of 10 felines.

Then there is Jasper. I love her to death. She is a really sweety but her constant squeaks for attention get to me some days. If it were up to her she would get pets 24/7. I feel bad pushing her away sometimes but she is so persistant sometimes I just have to.

Third is Uno. She hassles the birds all the time. She has her face pressed against the bars or her paw sticking in the cage. I know she can't get to them but they rattle around and and squawk. Leave the dang birds alaone already!

And the fourth is Bob. He absolutly has to have his nose in everything. Every cupboard, basket, bag, box, bin or glass of whatever must have his nose poking in it. Well I guess I can give him some slack as he is only a little over four months but still. Bug off ya little nosey nose nose.

So what do your cats do that drives ya bonkers?

Sounds like you have a handful! Tiggy is my biggest pest! Although I wouldn't change him for anything! He has to be in everyone's business, right there helping you do what your doing.........

It makes me crazy when I'm feeding Maui- he HAS to be under my feet!!! He's been kicked on accident many times- you'd think he would learn!

The only thing the kittens do that drives me crazy is when Skunk tries to nurse on Smokey's "man parts" - ugh- I know he can't help it and it's because he was abandoned so young but it's so gross! He makes the sloppiest noises too

The only irritating thing Wonton does isn't really that bad - and I'd hate it if he suddenly stopped - it's this ALWAYS having to be in my lap. I do cuddle him a ton, I really do, cos I love having a lapcat. But when he's been on my lap for four hours already, off and on throughout the day, and I come out to the computer with a mug of hot chocolate, and just want to relax, surf the net, and sip my hot chocolate, and then i feel "tap tap tap" on my leg, I look down, and it's Wonton wanting up on my lap, it's just like arggggh! And the thing is, he won't take no for an answer. if i dont move back and put the flat pillow on my lap and pat it in invitation, he'll just jump up on my desk and walk over and try to get in my lap that way. if i move something so he cant jump up on that side, he'll jump up on the otherside, and if he can't do that he'll just come back and sit down next to me and stare at me with huge eyes that say "dont you love me anymore, mommy?" and after about two minutes of that, I feel too guilty and let him up anyway. So yeah, sometimes I wish he didn't want to be on my lap QUITE so often. but honestly i know if he stopped, I'd probably come post here and say "Wonton doesnt like to get on my lap anymore "... so I just deal with it. He's just a lapcat-it's just who he is

Fortunately, this hasn't happened lately...sometimes I've been eating and Snowball will be somewhere close by and in plain sight. Suddenly, he'll start coughing up a hairball. Well actually, this makes me go ewwwwwwwwwww!

Coming home and finding my cat has decided the white burber carpet is the BEST place for a hairball.

Katie

Duke will from the second I get in the house meow non stop until I feed him, even if he has food already (he thinks he needs a stockpile)
Sibohan likes to play with the curtain tiebacks so at lest once a day it suddely becomes dark in the living room.

Carly starts meowing loudly and constantly from 3pm on every single time we go in the kitchen. She has dry food but wants her wet food which doesn't come until 6pm.

Lucy demanding to go in the basement by howling and jumping up in front of the door. I'm not sure, but I think she believes she can jump over it.

Much dragging every piece of clothing she can find downstairs. And telling us about it the whole time.
But I wouldn't trade them in for anything.

When the kittens decide walking all over my laptop is a great idea...especially when I'm in the middle of writing a paper!!

Ginger using the window screens to sharpen her claws on.

So far Ferris has just been adorable - give him time, there will be SOMETHING.

The girls are pretty good, but I wish ONE of them was a lap cat!!!! Lily freaks out when you go near her (but is getting better, and doesn't mind being held now) and Stumpy just doesn't see the point in being held, or sitting on a lap. She's more than happy to lie on the ground and roll around and get lots of attention, but won't snuggle up to us

Lily LOVES attention in the middle of the night while I'm trying to sleep, and she snuggles up to me and purrrrrrrs, and I would love to be sleeping at 3am, but it's the only cuddles I get, so I pat and cuddle her until she settles down and falls asleep. I have SUCKER written across my forehead.

OHHHHHHH that's what drives me nuts!!!! They have to play NASCAR kitties across our leather dining chairs!! We softpawed their front claws, so they cause a bit less damage now, and we've covered the actual seat part, but now the chairs look ugly!

And Stumpy has taken to balancing on the top part of the back of the chair so she can look outside from a SLIGHTLY higher spot, and digs her back claws into the leather to keep her balance!!!!

Ari is one of those who likes to weave around your feet as you walk through the house. Not very smart with Mom or me - we aren't the most balanced people on the planet. I keep telling him it would VERY detrimental to his life if I fell on him.

Topaz thumps her tail - hard - against the bed when she sleeps next to you. Sometimes you get thumped, too.

Let's see, Levi & Maggie have bad habbits but they don't make me crazy. The only thing Isaac does is that he tries to "heard" me where he wants me to go by leaning on my legs while I walk. He's been accidently kicked & steped on more times that I like to think about.
Jordan, well he has so many I don't think I can list them all but here are the top ones; pulling magnets off the fridge, knocking all knick kncack's on to the ground, trying to knock pictures off the wall and number one is probably knocking over the garbage can (he does that preety much every night). Don't get me wrong I love him, but he makes me nuts some days.

Every morning when I get up, I go to my computer to check e-mail and sign onto AIM. Polly just has to play with the strings on my PJ pants. So, I've been tucking the strings into my pants when I get up. But she tries to grab and bite them anyway and pull them back out.

Prego walks on my computer desk between me and the monitor, so I can't read my computer.

Were do I begin.. I love my cats.. I really do,, but they have some habits...

Angel is the alpha cat,, so she drives me nutz when I bring in a new cat or younger cat,, she thinks she gotta stalk them down, and make them feel her wrath,, and then she doesn't stop.. Over and over again... She also likes to be overly demanding as the queen of the house,, as to who gets my attention and who doesn't.... She cracks me up though..

Chessy is a doll baby.. She just irratates me every now and again when she tries to sharpen her claws on my big screen tv, the grill part that covers the speakers.. She just doesn't learn.. That an she is a fattty.. Seh can't wait for me to mix her soft food, she thinks she need to be up close and personal during the mixing..

Alex.. Well he's a boy who is nothin but trouble.. Most annoying thing,, is when i'm trying to get ready in the morning,, he wants loving.. and I just don't have the time....

But I love them to the ends of the earth..

Okay, the only the I really have a problem with is how loud and demanding Gracie can be at times. It's like she actually thinks she's in charge and can order me around. I don't where she ever go that idea. It's not like I give in to her royal highness' every wish and command!

I love my kitties to death...but Lucky's loud mouth can drive me to distraction sometimes. She has a way of making the most sad, pathetic whining noise....If i have company she'll sit by the back door and do this whining, and flop over like she's being tortured unmercifully by an evil meowmy that won't let her outside. About 10 minutes of this and I'm ready to pull out my hair!!!

Then she comes and cuddles on my chest and purrs and I forget all about it!

Hee Hee - lot of familiar things in these posts. Tiki likes to help me with the computer. Before I got this desk, she could sit on my lap and I'd type away quite happily, but with the new computer desk, there's no room for that and she sits right in front of the monitor, staring soulfully into my eyes - tapping on my lip with her paw...claws slightly unsheathed if close to feed time... It's annoying - but funny at the same time.

The other thing she does which drives Rolf berserk is to piddle on the floor seconds before she's let out of her room in the morning. I don't know why she does it. Maybe she's excited or something. Unfortunately we have carpet. One day.....we are going to have a house without a piece of carpet in sight. Yep a cat-friendly house.
