What does your cat do, that will always make you smile/laugh??

Nakita is a carpet hooker! Ok, let me explain!
We have hardwood floors in our house, and the odd area rug. When we are in a certain room, Nakita will come flying across the wood floor, jump on the rug and start rolling around like crazy. Meanwhile, she is purring up a storm and looks in total ecstasy! This always makes me smile/laugh.


If I'm on the computer, Nakita will do the following to get my attention.

She will sit right behind my chair and start doing this type of 'moaning'!
It's similar to the moan you hear from a kid when you tell him/her to go wash the dishes. Like 'oh, mom, do I have to?
So Nakita, will start off moaning to get my attention. If that doesn't work, she will give out a quiet meow with a moan
. If that doesn't work, then she will fall on her side, grab the wheels of my computer chair and start wrestling/rabbit kicking them! She knows I will turn around at that point (she has me trained), and she will look up at me, expose her belly, and start the 'carpet hooker' act. It is soooo funny! She knows by that point that I will leave the computer to rub her cute little belly!

Felixia runs skittering across the tile w/ her back feet almost outrunning her front feet, leaps onto the back of the couch, then does somersaults across the back of the couch.


If I've been petting Sylvestra & stop, she'll very gently grab my hand and pull it back to her face.

Also she meows like crazy any time I start talking - she thinks I'm talking to her, so my answering machine always has her voice in the background.


Mr. Underfoot - too many things even to list!
He is a total character, and a complete love bug.
He thinks he always has to be in my lap, whether or not I'm sitting down.


Oreo will walk up to me when I'm laying on the bed & just plop down so his head falls into my hand for petting.

Easy - Brandy is obsessed with boxes - the smaller and tighter they are - the bigger the challenge to get in and more fun it is to watch.

Polished floors are great as well. Brandy lays on his side and i grab his belly and push him accross the floor - he slides away and then comes back and lays down and does it all again.

Finally, he plays "fetch" - you roll up a small bit of paper into a ball and throw it and off he goes - chases it, grabs it in his mouth and then brings it back. Drops it at your feet and you start the whole thing again!!

Good eh?

Taz makes me laugh. When I am in the apple tree throwing apples over to the horses in the pasture, Taz is chasing the apples as they roll across the grass! Makes me giggle everytime.

In the bathroom, Zoey plays with the door stopper. Its like a springy thing with a white cap on the end of it and sometimes in the morning or in the middle of the night, its all quiet and I hear this "BOOOIOIOIOIOIOIOINGGGGG!"
I dunno why but it makes me laugh.

Then of course when she flys through the house like a maniace, sliding on the kitchen floor or throwing her toys up in the air with her mouth


Her meows also make me laugh. She gets those good yeowls going if I'm not paying attention to her "BBBPPPRRRYYEEOOOWWWWOOOWWW!!"

Mittens walks in the bathroom with me in the morning, and sits on the scale...it always says: 20. I think he knows he is too fat! He also sleeps on his back when he wants attention...Zack and I can't help but giggle!

There's no place like home
1) Finding their play 30-pack box in odd places all over the house (they use it for a sled for amusement).

2) Their "king of the cat tree" games (any combination of cats/kittens can be involved).

3) Muddy walking up to me, throwing himself across my lap, arms, chest, neck, face or whatever, and purring like there is no tomorrow. That one takes all stress away from me.

4) Waking up to find 4 or 5 cats sound asleep on top of my body (legs, chest, neck, head).

Wrestle-mania always cracks me up! Watching Jake and Elwood play is the funniest thing - especially when they are both poised for the pounce but they're both not sure who goes first. They just kinda sit there on their kind legs in this Kung Fu position waiting for the other one to flinch!

Griffin, who is 9 months, still a kitten is the funniest. Every time I bend down to put laundry in the dryer, or clean the bath tub, or get something out of the bottom of the fridge when he is around he jumps on my back and wont get down. I usually have to get someone to help me get him down. Also he is a jumper and if he wants to be held he will jump from the floor into my arms and purr and purr. He is quite a character!

OH BOY! There are COUNTLESS things that my 4 babies do to make me laugh but I can't list them all. Here's a few..

First, ANY wrestle match with any of my cats! That's one of my fav things to watch with my cats and always get me laughing my head off.

Zebra LOVES to run and be chased so she'd run like crazy throughout the apt and end up with 3 other cats chasing her! The way she runs is soo funny also. It's hard to explain but her butt goes up and down BIG TIME whenever she runs...

Another thing is watching Pepper run like crazy trying to catch the red dot whenever I use the laser toy. Sometimes, she'd run into walls, doors or other cats since she's too busy focusing on chasing the red dot! Often she'd collapse on the carpet gasping for air!

Seeing Spike kick like a rabbit against the floor-ceiling cat post.

Buddy getting up on my chest and kneading away at my neck while trying to tuck his head under my chin and not succeeding.

Pepper flopping on my lap to sleep- she thinks that's the only place acceptable to sleep!


Pepper meowing her head off when I'm getting read to feed the cats.

Spike going crazy trying to rub noses and do head butts with me. Whenever I come home, he'd get up on my lap while I'm on the toilet and rub noses with me CONSTANTLY until I push him off.. Also, he'd start running ahead of me and weave among my feet trying to get me to stop then he'd try to jump up to touch my nose. Often, I'd end up bending down and letting him rub noses. He'd do this FOREVER If I'd let him!

Buddy jumping up on my back and insisting on riding everywhere with me on my shoulder.

Zebra and Pepper- just the way they look!!

Matty and Suma get into this chase thing, were they will end up changing places but chase each other around the house at very high speed. Then they stalk each other, doing that little butt wiggle before the pounce, that generally gets me going. When I go to open the front door, Matty has this funny little gallup she does running to it, trying to tell me 'open the damn door so I can see outside', followed by a very pitiful meow, I guess windows are just not enough

Bailey doesn't come into the bedroom (I don't really know why, unless Sam told her it was his domain). The other morning, I slept in, and felt a cat jump up on the bed at my feet. Usually that would be Sam. But it wasn't. Gentle footsteps walked up the edge of the bed. I still kept my eyes closed. Then I felt kitty whiskers on my cheek. Still, I pretended to be asleep. Then, one loud plaintive "mmmmmmmeeeeeeeowwwwwww", right in my ear.

I cracked up. And also got up to feed the poor starving beasts.

Sam was waiting right outside the door, I think he put her up to it.

I love when Trouble wants attention, she will stare at me from wherever she is and "MEROWP" at me as loud as she can. It cracks me up.

Marbles makes me smile when she throws herself at the ground and exposes her tummy for rubs when I get home from work. I love when they want attention I guess

Movin' on up!
Rowdy's cussed orneriness cracks me up. She will look you, right in the eye and do something that she knows she's not supposed to. Whenever Bill is taking care of the household expenses, she sits right on the stack of bills and, when Bill moves her, she sits on his checkbook or calculator.

Buddy's centerfold pose is always good for a giggle and Opie's dog-killing glare is priceless.

I was just out on the patio and Pearl started chasing her tail, whirling like a Dervish. She spun her way halfway across the yard and, when she stopped, she was dizzy and fell down! Goofy doggie!

The pre-attack butt-wiggle always cracks me up. Especially when Ophelia does it because she is generally too reserved to lose her composure like that.

Almost every morning, Trent comes in to see me when I'm getting ready for work in the bathroom. He will reach up on the doorway as far up as his little body will stretch, so I will lean over for good morning kisses.


Any time Ophelia asks me for pets and scritches, because she is such a Daddy's girl. This doesn't happen too often, and my heart just swells every time she does.
