Smudge, the youngest kitty in my house, less than a year... whiney baby extraordinaire... Clingy to the point of annoyance. He has been pretty whiney since he got neutered, but he's always been clingy and attention hoggy, especially to his older brother, Cuddles. (much to poor Cuddle's dismay) If Smudge is left alone, he cries and cries and cries until another cat comes to find him.
Lately, SMudge gets to go out and play in the snow. When he comes back in he's super-affectionate and rubs all over me, walking across me and the laptop. Climbing up my legs if I'm standing. Nibbling at toes. And always CRYING.
Well, with the snow comes a nice little thing called Static Electricity. Heh heh.
The longer Smudgey boy is outside, the more of it he builds up. When he comes in, and starts wanting to wallow all over me, he gets shocked over and over every time he touches me. A little annoying to me, of course, since I get shocked too, but after the first two or three jolts, he gives up rubbing his butt in my face and goes and lies down somewhere else. I'll put up with a bit of a Zing, if it deters him from those behaviors.
