"Making biscuits" and anything like that always annoys me for some reason - the cat's kneading, not baking!!!!!

Heh.. ditto.

I also don't like furbaby. Most pet cats are adults not babies. I'm not mum to Nikita. She's my cat and I'm her human. We're buddies

Yes!!!
This gives me the mental image of hairy baked goods!! While I welcome them kneading, I would not eat a kitty-baked biscuit!

I agree with this one. I have had, and been around cats all my life and never heard that term until I joined TCS.

I'm sure there are others. I have a huge list of things in life that irritate me, so some of them must involve cat terms also

Oh how could I forget furbabies

I agree with you. Our pet cats are just that..... our pet cats. Don't get me wrong here I love my cats, you all should know that by now, but when referring to them as furbabies, I have to say thats taking it a bit too far.

Oh come on don't lie
if your cat had he ability to bake real biscuits, you would try one just like I would
coz I mean if your cat can bake biscuits, it can cook you dinner, do the house cleaning etc and earn its keep


Sorry maybe the earning its keep bit went too far. But hey I'm trying to have a little humour today.

I just call mine babies for the most part, cause I do consider them my babies, they depend on me for food, shelter, scooping their boxes etc etc, when they can get that themselves they can be my buddy

I hate when people use terms like "the cat" with my cats. they aren't "the cats or stupid cats" they are my babies. and with dogs I hate when people use the term the dog as well my dogs arent "the" dogs, they are my babies as well.
and furball or fuzzbucket drives me nuts!

same here, unless they are derogatory they don't bother me.

I call mine furballs all the time, because when they curl up into a ball to sleep they are furballs

I call it just plain irritating! I can't stand it when a cat kneads me, most have gotten the hint, but Electra keep insisiting

The only term used for cats that really annoys me is Pussys, cause when people say it you just know they are only saying it to be derogatory.
