What's the one thing you wish your cat understood?

I wish Kinah understood what I say when I tell her not to attack my feet / hair / hand / clothes / pencil or just about anything that moves.
I also wish she knew what bedtime meant

For Joshua, I just wish he understood when I tell him that when I leave, it's not forever and that I'll never leave him behind.

I'm wishing my cat understood that all because I'm gone for awhile it doesn't mean that I'm not coming back.

I wish my stalker kitty would understand "Leave me alone!"

I wish mine knew the importance of humans having an uninterupted night's sleep!
And: don't rip up the bed skirt - doing so makes me less inclined to give you what you want.
Actually, I wish Wiggies could talk so he could tell me exactly what he wants when he constantly goes in and out of the bedroom scratching up the bed! Why?

Abby is also very skittish. I wish she would understand that we love her and would never knowingly do anything to hurt her.

"Just a minute." He acts like the world is ending if I have to finish something before cuddling him.

I really think Cupid knows he's my soulmate kitty. I mean, he's my soulmate kitty, so how could he not? I'm sure your kitty understands that much!

I would be really, really happy if Lucifer would believe me when I tell him clipping his claws and cleaning his ears is important and that I would REALLY like for him to just STAY STILL.

SORRY
When I have to give them medicine they need to make them well, when I accidentally drop something and the loud sound wakes them up, when I don't watch where I am going and step on their tails, and other stupid things...

I think the problem with my cats is that they actually "Do" understand me.... ...funny little buggers the 4 of them

Why it really is VERY important that they DON'T get on top of the 55 gallon aquarium in the living room and launch themselves off it. Reason being that if said aquarium, due to the physics of launching, hits the floor, mummy and daddy really canNOT afford to replace the rug, and the bookcases, and part of the floor, and probably repair 15 feet worth of drywall...

I really doubt my insurance company would believe me if I tried to explain what happened ...

I wish i could say sorry to teufel and explain the situation to why he doesnt see ben anymore, and to why he cannot cuddle him anymore.

I have a couple:

"leave it!!" meaning don't touch it
"don't eat that!"..don't eat your own hair off the floor!

Off topic...but.....Miss Mew....awesome sig!

Aww thank you..cagnes designed it

I wish I could explain to my girls that even though I bring these emaciated orphans into their lives and perhaps pay too much attention to said orphans, that they are really first in my heart.

I wish I could explain to the emaciated orphans that I'm not leaving them in the strange place because I don't love them terribly, but that I know it'll really be great in their new homes.

I wish that my cats understood that when I firmly tell them to do something (or most of the time, not do something) that I am not yelling at them or being mean, but there is a reason for it. IE Dont get on the counters because cj always tries to eat things that he shouldnt and vomits on the floor, or dont paw open the front door and run outside because you could get lost, someone could take you or something even worse. Others include dont drink out of the toliet, please dont jump into the dryer, dont sharpen your nails on the trash can (little girl has started doing this!) dont run full speed into the miniblinds, there is a window behind them, you will break the blinds and your head that way, the list goes on and on.

How about English? then I could make them understand anything

my cats do that too. Kinah started it about a week ago and now she thaught Joshua to climb on top of the fish tank too. (isn't funny how easily they learn from each other... yet wont listen to a thing we try to teach them!)

I don't think you have to worry too much... a big aquarium like that is very heavy... I don't think it would tip over easily.
