I also talk to Tiger because as long as I talk to him he talks back to me.
We also have a routine that if I am in my bedroom and he walks in...he meows at me as if were saying, "Hey, what's up?" and I say hey back to him.

Oh yeah...lol if he gets his claw stuck on something and is having trouble getting it loose, I help him and then kiss his paw to make it feel better.

He is a red hair/orange tabby I guess...he was a stray. I found him when he was a little guy. Probably about 4 or 5 months old. I found him in November of 03. Here are a few pics of him...I don't know how someone else can view my photobucket...

1. To upload photobucket, just open a TCS session and thread you want to post in.
2. Then open a second online session in Photobucket.
3. Find the photo you want to post,
3. Select the 3rd option beneath the photo: IMG
4. Then, right click selecting "copy" across the IMG document path (in the "cell")
5. Then pop over to the open TCS thread and then click "paste".

Then select "preview message" in TCS so you can see your stuff before submitting.

Loving my beautiful baby girl
Suppose it depends who you ask as to whether or not someone would find this strange. Most of us probably see all of these as mandatory!

I also give Sierra a cuddle and a kiss when I am leaving, explain where I am going and what time I will be home. I tell her how safe and protected she is and leave her music playing softly for her. She also has her treatball to play with when I am away. Upon arriving home, we immediately cuddle and love!

When I am away, I call to leave her messages on the answering machine.
She often talks nonstop when I am on the phone because she is not the very center of my attention, so we have fun calling to leave messages for friends with Sierra doing the majority of the talking!

Each meal must be heated to the proper temp., stirred and place promptly on her dish elevator sitting atop her special placemat. She will only eat it if I am rubbing and talking to her.
She must drink only bottled spring water from her Drinkwell.
Celebrate her Birthday complete with presents, singing, special feast, dessert, and a candle.

Spend more on Sierra for Christmas than anyone else, and each one most be perfectly wrapped.

Sierra will have an Easter basket.
Similarly, we celebrate every other possible occassion.

I'll wait until I'm on my death bed to go to the Dr., but Sierra never misses an appt or check-up, and I'm ready to call the Vet. if she so much as sneezes.

I kiss them both in their room before i leave and say "Be good girls for mummy, and play nice with each other!"


I always feed them before me even though their not starving like me!!


Such as now in the winter i set the heating to come on earlier than normal so they don't feel the cold!

Oh and on an evening i make sure i go to the bathroom before i settle down to watch t.v. because Sophie always comes on my lap and i hate disturbing her when i need to pay a visit!!

I tell them "I'll be back later" when I leave the house
I talk to them all the time
I make sure to spread out one specific throw blanket that Simon loves so that he can lay on it.
I worry about them and feel very guilty if I go on vacation and leave them

At the kitty's beck and call
Oohhh these are all so sweet!!! I don't do all these things - but I can certainly identify with the feelings you have for your kitties.

Mine get a kiss before we leave and tell them when we'll be back. They also get a greeting when we return.

They all have their special sleep spots.

I will vacate my chair and sit on the floor till my bum goes numb just so the kitties can sit on my chair.

We move the chicken run underneath the living room window so our indoor only kitty can sit and watch the chicken - the others just go and sit next to the run itself


Lily runs to her cat carrier every time we go out - so on journeys where one of us will stay in the car, we take her with us. Recently, she's visited my parents and MIL as well.

I always say bye and tell him i will be back soon.
I leave the bathroom door open so he can come in and out when ever he likes
Although he favours my bf now more than me
i still try to stay sane.. lol so when he goes to my bf i ignore him for 10 mins then he will meow meow meow utill i pay attention.
I leave the bathroom light on when we leave so he can get there and back with out bumping into anything.
he gets more kisses and "i love you's" than my bf!

Like most others, I tell the boys when I'm leaving and that I'll be back. Usually Samwise will follow me the door and flop over on his side and give me the cutest look and I just can't reisist picking him up and giving him a little lovin', Gandalf is usually eating, then I tell them I have to go to work otherwise who would buy the kitty chow?

First thing when I get home I call for them if they're not already at the door and give them lovin's then immediately feed them before I do anything else.

As long as there isn't anybody over, the bathroom door is always open so they can come and go as they please.

They have more cat toys that they know what to do with.

There are throw blankets all over the living room because they prefer to lay on a blanket rather than directly on the furniture or floor.

I do this every morning, too. I also sing to Ivo and buy her sliced baked ham at the deli. I always get strange looks when I order only 3 slices, and even weirder ones when I explain it's a treat for my cat!

Oh my gosh, I thought I was the only one to do that..as I'm leaving in the morning, I kiss them all goodbye and tell them my schedule, if I'll be home at 5, or if I'm making any stops along the way. I tell Trixie she's in charge, (oldest) and for them all to be good............

There's so many things I do for my kitties.

I tell them bye and "Mommy loves you" when I leave. And usually greet them before hubby when I come home. Little Boy usually waits at the door with a big loud hello when I walk in.

We give them water in the rinse cup in the bathroom. And they have water in a bowl, Guess they just like the cup better. Learned to set it in the sink so when they knock it over it doesnt make a mess. When I take a bath, I have to leave the door open so they can get in and out, even though that's not where their box is. I leave the linen closet door open so Arwen can hide and go to sleep on the towels and such. When I wake up and have my morning pee, I have to usually let in one furbaby or another, if not both. When I get home from work, Arwen meows at me til I follow her to the bathroom to give her water.

I do the blanket thing too, Arwen likes to lay on my fleece Tigger throw. And the cats have their own couch. It's really uncomfortable, but they love making the really overly stufted back their own lil kitty beds. Yesterday, I was sittin on the couch reading and I had put the phone book on a small pile of folded blankets on the other side of the couch. Arwen got up there and was sniffing it trying to figure out how to lay down on top of the phone book or around it. So I moved it, pet her, and said "There ya go baby girl." She gave me this look like " Thank you Mama" and laid down.

I talk to them all the time too, and they talk back. I swear they really try to talk. Arwen will tell you thank you for getting her water.

We let Little Boy drink our tea, right out of the glass. Or like what he's doing right now, drinking my water right out of the glass.

I dont leave the TV or radio on for them, but my sister-in-law did that for her cat Maddy.

I set bread on the balcony/patio rail so that it will attract the birds and the cats can watch them at the sliding glass door.

OH, OH........I catch flies for Arwen too!! My mom used to tell me I was crazy for doing it, but now I know I'm not alone!! When they get in a window or near a light, i'll catch them end hold them by the wings so Arwen can eat them. HA! HA!

If I drop something on the floor while cooking, that I think Little boy will eat, I call him in there. And when we're eating something, I'll give Little Boy a sample. Arwen just wants to know what you have , so i'll let her sniff then go back to eating. She's really picky about what she eats.

That's all I can think of right now,..... but I know there's a lot more.

First I want to say that I want to be one of your cats

Second I want to say that you and I are VERY much alike. I'll call from my cell phone to leave Angel a message too. Especially if I'm out longer than I planned on.
That is just too cute that you will be giving Sierra an Easter basket. If you don't mind, I'm doing this too now. Other than that, ditto for everything else you said.
