Hi @mickNsnicks2mom    You are going to have to tell us more then....lol.

So, you think she was a teacher or professor?   Have you caught her sleeping on a bunch of papers,   like she is going to grade them or something?  Or do you go into a room, and find her just sitting "meowing out loud", for no particular reason, as though she is holding a lecture in a study hall?....


With me, Spotty does meow in some rooms, but he is 14yrs old, so we just figure he may be losing his hearing, or else just wants some extra attention.  He does follow us around and "chats" with us, especially if my sister and I are in the middle of an important conversation.  All other conversations, he will ignore.

Spotty likes to groom himself and he has this funny walk sometimes, when he goes downstairs, so we called him "Mikhail Baryshnikov" for fun.  The way he walks, looks like a ballet dancer, and since he loves to look good, we figure either 'dancing with the stars" or ballet.  lol.
i think snick was a professor. snick does love to lay on the newspaper, when i'm getting the wood stove started in the mornings. sometimes she'll nudge the pieces of newspaper before laying on them. most nights snick will give lectures during the overnight hours, usually twice per night. my part is to call back to her from my bed, maybe acknowledging that i've heard the lecture.

snick will be 14 years old in august this year.

wow! spotty sounds like a talented dancer!

"Sounds pretty smart to me, and could be one of those cats in the Cravendale milk adverts that has thumbs.....   opening magnetic closing door is a pretty good trick. 
  I wonder how long she'd be happy sitting in the cupboards before starting to meow?  If Mouse thinks he's missing something else he'd need let loose instantly and no way would you miss his hollering! 
     Or the crashes and bangs he'd cause climbing about and breaking stuff....


I wonder what Snick was a professor in?  Sleep studies perhaps, or criminology - breaking and entering?"

that's a good question! i've never left snick in a cupboard for more than the few minutes it takes me to notice i'm not seeing her and locate her. i think it might be the same with my snick -- if she thinks she's missing something else going on, then she'd meow and try to get out.

i think snick probably has taught both sleep studies and criminology -- breaking and entering!

  ILaying on the newpaper is pretty good!  Mouse chews and shreds any paper that comes in to his territory.  I remember those night time lectures though, I used to get them from my previous cats when they got 'older and wiser';  they also got louder so I couldn't avoid listening to everything they wanted to tell me. 
   I used to talk back too, I'm glad I'm not the only one to have done that.  Sadly their lectures didn't help me improve my general knowledge or anything so I hope Snick is better at her job than they were.  Perhaps they never reached lecturer status and were just being bossy junior teachers....

I know, Spotty sounds like quite good eye candy. 
   I want to see a picture of this Barishnikov rear view.

my two cats, snick and her bother mickey (rip), never chewed or shredded papers but mickey used to unroll the toilet paper from the roll hanging in the holder. so years ago i stopped using the holder, and now i use a toilet paper caddy/pole which sits up out of kitty reach in the bathroom.

i always answer snick/talk back, no matter what time of day.

snick's night time lectures start out lower and increase in volume for a few minutes, then she tapers off -- and moves on to another subtopic in the lecture, i guess. i'm not sure my general knowledge has increased either. maybe that's why i need lectures twice every night...

Wow, I am really impressed that you've had 2 cats that didn't chew paper!  Are you a strict kitty parent, or is this pure luck? 
 Mouse will chew anything card of paper, and one of my previous girls would make nests out of toilet paper or kitchen roll at the first oportunity - it had to be shut away or I'd come home to creations that looked like giant hampster or gerbil nestseverywhere!  

Snick's night time lectures sound pretty awesome, making sure you stay interested by changing volume and topic is pretty good lecture tactics.  I wonder where she learned her craft.  

@MissSweetKitty  does Tink give lectures too?  

Mouse doesn't talk much other than to tell me what to do occasionally, or report when someone else has done something he wants me to know about  (like getting shut in the bathroom the other day).   I always chatter with him when he does speak and squeek of course - and when he doesn't.    He is very quiet at night even if he is up and waiting for mice to dare show their whiskers from under the washing machine.

I cannot stop laughing, so much so, that I cannot see the computer screen for the watery eyes of laughter. 

Does anyone have an "eye doctor cat" out there??
 Spotty sounds like quite good eye candy. 
   I want to see a picture of this Barishnikov rear view. 
No,   @MServant     I do not have any photos of "Baryshnikov"s"  or Spotty's rear view.   I am not sure if I really want one...smh.
(okay....maybe I will need to have some photos taken, all in the need for "posterity"  (all puns intended)....lol.


You both have made me realize, that the reason I have dreams of being back in school, some 20 years later, and not knowing the exam questions, or what to answer on the surprise tests, .....may very well happen to be Spotty's fault.  (I passed those darn courses, exams, and sat through those real life lectures.....so why do I have to dream about them now??) 

Can't I just dream of traveling?....Not in time....but to warm beaches, tropical rainforests,  ski chalets, exciting cities?  

I have to ignore all night time lecture, from now on.


But I don't think my good Spotty will be joining your gang of "Cravendale" like opposible thumb cats.  It sounds like Snick, Mouse and Tink....have already been forming some sort of time-traveling gang where mischief rules.

My guy Spotty is too busy  grooming himself, and giving out night time lectures, sometimes day ones too.  He has a full schedule.

Check out the cravendale cat commercials...here....Post #11

PS....@MissSweetKitty Of course, Tink would show up when you have given up looking.
Yesterday, I didn't know where Tink was and then she suddenly appeared right in front of me! And it was right when I gave up looking for her! 
 
My theory is that as we are entertained by our cats....they are far more entertained by their own humans too.  If they have to send reports to their mother ship, we may be in trouble.

@cat nap  would Spotty not happily lecture you on his many travels at night if you asked him to?  I'm sure he's been to some pretty good places and then your dreams would be of nice holiday things. 
   He must be pretty well educated if he can lecture both day and night too, pretty good stuff!  I can believe he makes trips to the mother ship if he's that bright!  You could be pretty well known somewhere 'out there'. 
  Has Spotty ever curled up in a round on your lap?  I'm wondering if that could be the cat time travel technique for taking their humans with them on  their journeys, but maybe they have some way of getting us to forget about it afterwards and just leave humans with that chilled out fuzzy fealing you get when your cat's snuggled in.  You might have been time traveling with him loads and not even know about it!

Wow.
  
...that last part has me believing that you are a very dedicated sci-fi fan @MServant  


  No, sadly Spotty does not ever lay in my lap, so I guess I have never traveled to the mother ship....lol.

But I have seen him curled up in a ball, beside me on the bed......could my bed also teleport...you think??


I do get that "chilled out fuzzy feeling" from time to time....lol.....wow.....I  HAVE....been traveling.

You know, that is such a good point.  I will ask Spotty tonight,  never hurts to ask.  If my dreams start to become more of travels, and stuff....and less of lectures....than....yeah....I shall report back, here.....lol.

i think i've just been lucky! i wouldn't say i'm a strict kitty parent. we have an "open doors" policy in our home, no inside doors are closed except closets and cabinets. it's just me and my snick, and before that it was just me and mickey and snick, and i've always thought of our home as as much hers/theirs as mine. my two never liked closed doors inside our home. i am very much into routines though, but cats usually do well with routines so that works out well for us.

oh my! i can just picture the giant hamster or gerbil nests!

i think snick really started her night time lectures after our mickey crossed the rainbow bridge, now she's an only cat. she and mickey had been together since birth.

has mouse ever caught a mouse? my snick never had an interest in mice, she likes birds and bugs.

Coco is the one to give lectures, actually. She will go upstairs and give a very long, loud and proud lecture just about every day.
 Maybe the lecture is about their home planet? 
 Or maybe they just don't like that their owners are busy on the computer or cooking. 
 
 
Sounds suspiciously like time travel to me. 
  Unless she had a guilty look  on her face and paws covered in forbidden cupboard content suggesting she'd been doing a bit of breaking and entering like Snick?  
 
 No, I haven't heard any banging around, but she might've erased it from my mind. 

 
Wow.

I guess I have been traveling, too! My cat Cora (passed away) used to sleep on my lap a lot. My newer cat Tink has also has slept on my lap. Wow, I guess I have been traveling a lot.

I'm so happy to meet another open doors kitty home person! 
  I pay my motgage for cats to live in comfort, and thankfully they have permitted me to share their space so far. 
  Mouse i ​s my only fur companion for now and he likes to know what's going on in all areas of his territory so closed doors are definitely not an option.  He does let guests close doors but they need to let him in from time to time to make sure they're not hiding anything from him!  
 

With the lectures it may simply be an age thing - all that learning needing to be passed on to others.  Both my cats previous started to call out at night and chatter away or need reassurance about where they were round about that age, even though they were still together.  Once Pal was on her own she didn't give lectures or call out at night for a while - I think she was rather afraid her sister might come back if she did and she was kind of happy to be on her own after 18 years of being told what to do.

On the Mouse mouse front,  
   erm yes he has.  First one he met he patted on the head and tried to make friends with it but the little critter ran off and hid.  Here's what happened a few months later.

   It sounds like you've been doing quite a bit of travel!  Wow, I just get occasional time warps when I seem to loose time while on TCS, and Mouse sort of stretches out over my chest and arm when he comes to snuggle so no time travel with him here.   The tell tale signs that it goes on are the round dents in the duvet on my bed, or the tiny patches of fur he leaves when he's been curled up on a chair for a long time - but that's harder to spot because he doesn't molt much.  It's amazing you get any work done with all that travelling going on!

i've wanted to be a homeowner since i was in my teens. it took me until i was in my late 40's to buy my house, and it was just as much for mickey and snick as it was for me. we lived in apartments until then, and the sounds/noise from other tenants sometimes at all hours of the night did cause my cats stress. the apartment we lived in when i was in the market to buy a house was expensive and around 600 sq ft. i knew that though i'd have maintenance and repairs to pay for myself, i'd still be paying less in the long run by buying a house. when we moved into our house, mickey and snick had just turned 11 years old. after they got adjusted to our new home, they loved it just as much as i do. it makes me so happy that i was able to give mickey and snick our dream home for their last years.

we've only had guests once in our home, and mickey woke one of them up in the middle of the night by sniffing him/touching his nose to the guests nose.

oh, that's funny! mouse patting it's head to try to make friends with the first mouse he met. i'll go over and read what happened a few months later.

when our mickey crossed the rainbow bridge snick was very upset. she had the worst IBD flare up she's ever had then, so bad that i thought i was going to lose her too. our vet and i pulled her through that. snick and i grieved together and became more close. now she does enjoy being an only cat, she has all my attention and love every day.

both mickey and snick like to hunt bugs, any that have gotten into our home. about 5 years ago one day i noticed mickey creeping along looking at something on the floor. i went over to investigate and saw that he was following an ant.  i let him continue checking it out, and then he bit it. the look on his face was like, "ewwww........bitter tasting!" funny too, is that snick did the same thing a couple years or so later, with the same reaction of "ewwww....bitter tasting!"  these days i find lots of legs from daddy long legs spiders on the kitchen floor in the mornings. i think snick likes to play with them during the night.

I've never had ants in this apartment before but seem to have been around in the past 4 weeks or so.  Mouse is intregued but not managed to get his paws on one yet to taste as far as I know.

This morning I was woken up by a flying cat....  for a moment I thought maybe he'd seen another rodent mouse but there was no trace and he was running and jumping about the bedroom like he did when he was a kitten. 
 He can do a bit more dammage at 9 1/2 lb and 3 years of age than he did at 9 months! 
   We're talking jumping up on the bed, running over me, leaping up on to the high mantelpiece next to my bed (no option, this is the best layout I can come up with), leaping down at the head end of my bed then running off before repeating the whole exersize.  ​Thankfully he didn't land on my stomach or my head. 
  Went on for about 10 minutes and then lay down and dozed off, leaving me wide awake.  I hope he's not thinking of becoming like other cats and doing this every morning now!

Maybe he did taste an ant and was going crazy because of it tasting so bitter! I wish you caught a video of it, then you could show it to everyone. Wow. I, too, hope that he doesn't start doing that every morning.

I wouldn't have minded so much some other day but today was my day off and I'd planned a nice sleep in. 
   I guess most cat parents don't get any sleep ins so I shouldn't complain.

the story of shadow aka ole blue eyes............

my beloved Siamese Zeus had just pasted away I was so heart broken so I started looking for a new cat I never heard of snowshoes in the paper it said Siamese mix kittens well I just had to check them out I went and arrived at a farm well all the kittens were feral oh great I said not a Siamese looking kitten in site.....but I saw shadow...oh my he pierced me with that blue eyed stare it just got right tome and yes I picked the most feral of the bunch boy that was a adventure in catching him after all the hissing scratching and biting I finally got him in the cat carrier.

boy that was the most noisy ride home....lol

got home got inside the house glove n hand to open the cage got it open.....where did he run you might ask......

Hi @themeowsercrew.....What an amazing story!

  I am so glad you are okay after that heart attack and hope you are doing well, now.

  So your cat Shadow, may have caused you a lot of action in the beginning, and a lot of work in catching him, but it sounds like he was meant to go home with you. 

(only he didn't think so at that moment, or driving in the car.  Well, you did not say what type of music you were listening to in the car, so Shadow may have only been noisy, because he wanted a different station.
)

Can't wait to hear about the other "crew" members.  lol.   take care.

ps.  Shadow has the most beautiful colour of brown for his coat. Almost reddish, brown, tan. Really nice.

@themeowsercrew   Shadow is one cool cat saving your life like that!
  Mouse would probably have pestered me to fill his bisuit bowl in case he starved waiting until someone found him on his own rather than anything heroic. 


When I first scrolled down my screen and saw the top of Shadow's head and his ears I thought he was a fox!   Amazing colour.
