This is Duke... He has the WORST gas

Bo has to be the rudest though. He will stick his face in ANYTHING


The other's are behaved for the most part.

Especially Tonka.. He'd assume walk away from you then deal with someone.
He has this regal...... no...... snotty attitude like he's too good for anyone

*kitty*, "what are these... man-ners...?"


haha, Bea has none. She's rude, mean, crabby, bossy, you name it.
she hisses at the kitties, or you for that matter if you try to pet her while they're around. She's snobby, will only sit on certain furniture or blankets, go into certain rooms and eat certain foods. She's bossy! she will yell at you to fill her bowl and open the door!

the kittens on the other hand are pretty good. Berach is a pig and will get at any food he can but he's learning quickly thanks to the spray bottle. Chloe is the sweetest most polite kitten ever! She'll even quietly step aside if Berach decides he wants to eat her food or treats...

That's exactly the reason WHY I chose Geronimo!
I just knew he was gonna be a "brat" - he had that look in his eyes! But that's part of his charm. There's never a dull moment w/ him in the house!

Mine is a spoiled rotten brat. . . When she want to eat in the morning she will jump up on my bed, and stare, then go bounding down the hall sounding like a stampede, into the kitchen. Then back down the hall and onto the bed, untill I get up and feed her. . . oh and if i have been busy she will follow me around the house biting my ankles till i pay attention to her. Brat. . .

Lucy has no manners. In fact, she's given up on even pretending to be sweet when she's begging for food. She swats my legs when I get out of bed and walk down the hall to feed her. She has even gone so far as to bite my ankles. Some mornings, it takes everything in me not to just go to work and let her starve. She's spoiled rotten.

Connie is the poster child for charm school and manners. Her version of begging is assuming a statuesque pose in the general area of the food bowls. Not even a peep from the Meezer girl. She just sits very tall and still. It's good for snapping a few pictures. She is very polite about everything. She will stare you down if you eat human food she wants. She doesn't get in your face, though. I sometimes think this sweet little kitty is made of sugar. She doesn't have a mean or spoiled bone in her body.

Lucy is a fitting name...I can pretend it's short for Lucifer. She has become a holy terror.

Here is the break down..

Gizmo is well mannered. She does not beg for food. She only wants pets now and then. She does not get into any type of trouble. She is the alpha female who sets a good example.

Zagnut is well mannered. She does get pushy when it comes to wanting to be petted but other than that she pretty much does her own thing. She never begs for food and does not get on the counters.

Igore is well mannered. He does demand pets though and he sometime will continue a disagreement between two cats that had nothing to do with him. i.e if Uno chases Zagnut under the table and then walks away Igore will then continue to hound Zagnut until I tell him to leave her alone or shoo him away.

Moochie is the well mannered. In fact he is a complete angel. He never begs for food. He never bothers the other cats even when he is provoked. He does like his pets but understands when you are busy.

Button is well mannered. She will bother my daughter for food when she is eating at the computer but she never bothers me or Greg. She stays out of every ones way and just wants to hang out with my daughter. She never starts fights. She never gets on the counter.

Bob is very mannered. He does have a mouth on him and he is not afraid to use it. If he does not like something or he wants something you will hear about it. He loves his pets and is relentless at getting them.

Penelope is a sweetheart. She never begs for food or gets on the counter. Her biggest issue is her dislike for everyone but me. She will moan and hiss at any other cat or person that gets to close to her

Beastie Bear is not well mannered. He is the only cat we give wet food to and he is a pain in the butt to try and feed. He knows he gets his pouch every morning. He will moan and meow. Jump on the counter and on to the pantry cabinet and back and forth and back and forth meowing the entire time. I can hardly get the food out of the pouch because he is already trying to eat it.

He will also lash out and slap you with a paw or bite your ankle if you try to move him to the side to get out of the way of a closing fridge door or cupboard door. He also likes to hassle some of the other cats and when he gets it in his mind it is hard to deter him from it. He is mommas Beastie Bear and I love him even if he is $&*${&@($*@#!!!.

Where whiskers abound.
Mittens is well-mannered for the most part EXCEPT when she grooms her bottom area while we are having dinner all the time. She waits till dinner time to do her grooming for the main purpose of hearing my DK's comments.

Cassy is well-mannered, I have no complaints about her, she listens and learns if there is a problem.

I can honestly say that both Bijou and Mika are exceptionally well-behaved. When I read of some of 8-Bits antics and some of the other kitties here, I sometimes feel like I'm missing out on some fun because our two are so good. I think the worst Bijou has done is find a ball or two of my yarn and sometime during the night tried to mimic making a spider web out of it by weaving it in and around the chairs and table legs and living room furniture. The main part of the ball of yarn was actually still in the basement so there was just the one strand that came up out of the basement and around all the furniture.

Popsie has terrible manners. He begs for food, he meows at the top of his lungs while I'm trying to talk to DH.(he wants attention) I spoil him way to much but I can't resist.

Hahahaha. Rotten kitties.


Some of my seven are polite...One of the oldest, a DMH, named Sophie, is really the most polite out of all of them; when we eat, she'll sit in front of us, just watching and waiting. When we tell her to "sit", she usually does, or she leaves.

My new kitten is very rude, though. He was the fastest to potty-train, and to wean, but...well, he needs some disipline lessons about not stealing food, tearing up mom's feet, grabbing and climbing up pants...*sigh*
