Is she going to eat me?

I'm referring to Claire, whom as some of you know, is my big girl, who loves to eat.

I'm asking because of a conversation my boss shared with me the other day. Apparently, a guy she knows, who's very well-educated, intelligent and holds a position of great influence in the community, told her that he's afraid of cats. His reasoning is something he read somewhere about how, if cats stare at you for a long period of time, it means they want to eat you.
My boss said he told her this in all seriousness and really seems to believe it.

So, since Claire follows me around and stares at me, do you guys think this means she wants to eat me? I prefer to think that she just loves her meowmy and wants to be where I am. But, maybe I should be worried.

I dunno.... I think you might want to keep that food dish a little extra full for a while

I hope not, because my new foster stares at me all the time!

Gosh there are some ridiculous supersistions out there about cats!

Nice, that one needs to be added to the superstitions about cats thread Where do people get these crazy ideas from!!

I like to think that when a cat stares at you its trying to send you telepathic messages...like FEED ME!!!!!

Oh dear, does he also think that cats suck out a baby's breath? Such stupudity!

If thats the case, then I'm really in trouble - my boys stare at me ALL the time!

I hope not because Rosie and Sophie stare at me all the time. Jack doesn't because he's too busy destroying straws

OMG if that is true I have 13 cats wanting to eat me! Someone save me!

I have not heard that one. How in the world could anyone believe that? That really is the funniest excuse I have ever heard about being afraid of cats. Thanks for the laugh.

Maybe that's why Roxie insists on biting my toes while I sleep, she's trying to get a nibble!!

That's the silliest thing I've heard.

I knew I would find out who suggested giving teething kittens straws! I picked some up and Cosmo LOVES them - that is, if he can get them away from Sophie!

She's just testing to see if you're ripe yet.

Unless your kitty is a 800 lb Siberian Tiger, I think you will be safe..
However, Linus likes to lick my hands and arms perhaps he trying to choose the proper seasoning for me..

Mine don't want to eat me but they sure do burn a hole in the back of my head when I don't pay attention to them

Just don't spill any gravy on yourself Eileen

I KNEW they were up to something ...
