Fluffy likes to sleep in my purse or dh's backpack. If I walk by her and pet her on the head she will will grab my hand and yowl at me like I am not finished.
Scooter is mostly adorable, except he will come in for a few minutes, then run to the door howling G0 OUT! at the top of his lungs.
Pepper is too lazy to be too bad.
Pearl has decided she will come in when she pleases. She comes in the morning for breakfast, then screeches to go out and sun her her little belly. I could have cheerfully choked when I was trying to get her inside during the hurricane. I got soaked.

Trout ruins all of our furniture.

I am actually really worried about it when we move into our new house. If she touches anything, I may have to throw her outside

I'd hate to say anything because Bowser is such a well behaved cat and I feel like I'm almost jinxing myself! The only real complaint I have are his water bowl habits. He sticks his paws in and flicks water across the room, and he used to drag the bowl and get water everywhere but I finally put a tray under it. You also can't have any toilet lids up because he dives right in! Eww.

That almost made me snort.

These are all so great
! Maia has a few "ARGG! MAIA, STOP IT!" moments.....at the same time they make me laugh as I type them

One major button she knows how to push is playing with specific things early morning to try and wake me for food. I swear if she had a bell, she would ring it! I live in a one bedroom apt., but my bedroom is my art studio, so it's more like a studio apt. Maia will sit in the kitchen by the garbage can and paw at the trash bag while starring at me for a response
! She will also go by the computer desk and start biting and pulling out papers
, and she has 2 favorite places where she loves to scratch the wall 'Freddy Krueger' style,
! Sometimes I will jump up out of bed 'Maia stop it!' and all I see is this flash in the dark run by with her tail up, little chirp saying 'atleast I tried'

With the bobcats, the #1 grrrr would have to be the spraying. Natasha loves to shred the toilet paper and paper towels. She lifts the lid on the toilet, splashing all the water out, if I forget to close the door. But the #1 is spraying.
The domestics. It's when they kick half the litter out of the box and it is everywhere. Mind you, these boxes are HUGE. They are not actually litter boxes, but huge plastic bins used for mixing concrete. They have to be in order to fit the bobs.
Carmelo my cougar. He does nothing wrong. He is just a big loving, purring, head licker.

My mosy frustrating kitty is Riley. He is hooked on schedules and treats. He has a stool in the kitchen that sits under the cabinet where we keep the treat, he will sit on that stool and holler every time you walk through the kitchen. If you don't respond by giving him treats, he then starts knocking things off the counter....bowls, cat brushes, bags of pet food, litetally anything he can push over the edge.
So annoying

Fred: He's a dairy mooch....well, he is a mooch in general and will not take no for an answer when he wants what you are eating. He eats all the time.

Bogey: Not really his fault but his hairballs are epic. And he typically like to throw them up on my blankets.

Claire: not much of anything really. She's my sweetheart.


Simon: He's so bad I can't actually pinpoint it. The worst is when he attacks Bogey. They don't get to see each other any more because Simon's attacks are so vicious.

We stopped eating cereal because of the "gimme milk" kitties.
It's the only thing we used with milk... and it became simply impossible to eat without four or five cats trying to get at it and Billy howling. Eating cereal standing up doesn't really help, because in the RV we have so many vertical spaces, there isn't really anywhere we can stand that they can't reach out to try to grab us.
At least the cheese hounds don't always notice when we're having some if we're sneaky about it.

This thread is funny!

The one thing Jamie does that drives me up a wall is change his mind about going for a walk. He'll pester to go, so I put his harness on, get my stuff together (keys, Kindle, e-cig), put on shoes and a jacket if needed, take him downstairs to the back door and hook his leash--- and have him look out the door, meow, turn around and walk back upstairs! A half hour later we'll repeat the whole process, and he won't want to come back in.

Watching someone who rescued a foster family but doesn't have cats and doesn't want cats really made me think about just how much we all do to accomodate our kitties!


That "step outside looking in" perspective... really does make me see how "not cat" people can think most cat people are crazy!

Reilly when he gets up on the counter and laps the butter! I keep telling everyone please put the butter away or close the butter dish.

This is more something that makes my boyfriend go "grr." In this past week in which we've had Chacho he's becoming more of a mama's boy and that makes my boyfriend go "grr." My lap is always the prime lap. If I'm away and Chacho is on Matt's lap when I come home, as soon as I sit down, Chacho abandons his lap for mine. Even if I left just to use the restroom or something he always leaves my boyfriend high and dry. Its like he's the "mama's not available so you'll have do till she returns" lap. I think its pretty funny myself and I keep telling him its because he tries too hard and if he would just stop acting like he cared, Chacho would be on his lap more.

Rick is almost ready to give up his cereal, too, although with Tabby it's not the milk; it's the cereal. If he sits at the table, Tabby's right there, ready to paw the cereal right out of the bowl. He tried sitting on the sofa....only to have her sit on the back of the sofa with her two front paws on his shoulder, butt hanging in the air, and she was looking right in his face. (I really should try to get a picture of that; it's just hysterical, although Rick doesn't think so.)

He tried eating it standing up, but Tabby figured out that she can climb his jeans. Which isn't too bad.....if he's wearing jeans. When he was wearing shorts and she tried to climb up his bare legs, it didn't go over well....there was a lot of "ow, ow, ow!" going on. That girl loves her cereal and will do anything to get her share.

That girl just loves Raisin Bran...we only give her the bran flakes, not the raisins. Well, at least she shouldn't have any pooping problems, not with all the bran she eats.

I usually have to lock the 2 of them in the crate when I go for a walk or they will follow me.

Eleka isn't really hard to catch, Druskie on the other hand will toy with me and runaway everytime I approach him.

Eleka irritates me when she begs to be petted and almost trips me.
