Shameful, embarrassing things you do to your cat

Since I haven't had Marlee too terribly long, I haven't come up with too many ways to embarass her. One thing that cracks me up is if she's trying to nap, and gets in one of her 'touch me not' moods, I'll go up to her on the bed and cuddle cuddle cuddle, right up next to her and kissing her, etc. She actually handles it better than I would....just looks at me like I'm totally insane and eventually gets up and walks off.

Meeko is the kitty at my parents house, and this story is too funny! We bought my dog Maggie a Christmas bells set (had a thick red velvet collar thing with white fur tuffs, and four matching bracelets for the legs, all with bells). We tried it on Maggie first. We put them on her and she absolutely froze! Would not move a muscle, except her eyes to look at each of us and PLEAD to get these scary things off her! So next we tried Meeko, who took about three running steps then collapsed her back legs and began to pull herself around like she was paralyzed. Poor cat couldn't figure out where the jingling was coming from!

Hubby sometimes will "rough up" Rocky and rub him the wrong way and his fur is all disheveled. Rocky doesn't even notice half the time. Rocky gets the brunt of jokes- he is called the Jabroni, the peoples cat, etc. Hubby likes to insinuate that he isn't that bright. I also will pat the kitties on their bottoms and say what a fluffy butt! We also bought a harley skull cap meant for small dogs in las vegas, put it on the their heads and took pictures. Zakk was pretty mad! They also find grooming and nail clipping to be in very bad taste. Cookie is small enough that he still gets held like a baby!

I wad up a piece of scotch tape and press it onto the backs of Toby and Tedy`s heads or just above where their tails are attached to their butts.....just to watch them try to get it off.
Toby always jumps up off his bunkbed in the morning and dives under the bottom bunk....but he leaves his butt and tail sticking out, so i always say "I`m gonna get your butt Toby!"....and I grab his butt , legs and tail....then i can hear him start purring really loud and he sharpens his nails on the under side of the bunk.
I also call Toby "Fat-Cat"
I call Tedy a "Dumpster-Diving-Bum" cause he`s always tipping over the trash and climbing inside the wastebasket ....no doubt hoping to find a used Q-tip or bandaid.
I call Tedy "Sheddy Tedy"
I also looked up a sight on the web that has bird calls..... :-) ...That`s always fun! Drives the cats NUTSO looking for the birds.

Touro,
I would love to do that, but the thing is, I have to travel from Japan to the US. I opted to take her onto the plane with me because I know that she is an emotional wreck if I'm not there with her. Adding to the fact that she's never been on an airline before will probably make it a lot worse. Maybe in the future I will buy a crate, but this trip, there won't be a lot of choice.

I think I'm going to buy my cat a dress to wear. I know she will HATE that.

You cruel woman you!!

This thread is funny!!, I don't really do too much to Reilly that embarrasses him... he likes all the "baby boo boo kitty" talk and he'd rip my face off if I ever tried to make him wear anything

this thread...oh my tummy hurts from laughing!

When i was a kid i used to try and put all my cabbage patch kid clothes on my cats and then try and strap them into my stroller....poor cats. I swear they went into the photo albums and ate all the pictures I had of dressup time...i can't find them anywhere!

Scarlett is, well, my little **** so we call her Scarlett harlot, particularly when she flings herself on her back and spreads her legs so we can rub her tummy. She IS the tummy ****!

Pinky looks huge with all his fur and we have been calling him "biggest pinkest" for a long time now. He is answering him to "biggest" these days.

Pinky is not as large as Spanky, who we have the perpetual weight battle with. He's currently "Chunks".

I am sweet to my cats. I would never try to embarrass them because they think for themselves. I would hate to see what they would do to me to get even.

Oh my gosh...where to start?!

-I give them little kisses on the head constantly
-I make them dance
-I talk to them in baby-talk (who doesn't?!)
-I put hats on them sometimes
-I put little boots on them, once

They must think I'm so evil
I my cats, so I embarass them...it's a meowmy thing, what can I say?

Oh, this is a great thread!! I, myself, am an angel to Kitters. Daddy, on the other hand, causes her some grief!

He makes her Dance, Play Piano, Air Guitar or other instrument, blows on her ears, sticks tape to the bottom of her foot, by her tail, or will tie a little bow on her tail, he's just a big meanie!!! She loves him to death though the little traitor!!! Everytime he starts talking to me on the phone and I'm at work she comes running to him!! He only talks at home alone when on the phone with me and she just loves hearing him talk!!!

When they're on their tree I reach up and poke them from behind. Paige gets sat up like a human regularly, and I tease her about her underpants.(she has a perfect triangle of white right where she would wear underpants. lol) I make gibby play Peekaboo. I splash them in the bathroom, when I'm taking a bath! I make Paige dance! I tango with Gibby, and i make molly tacos!

oh yes! I also put tape on Gibby because he lurves it, hedoesn't find this embarrassing.

What a bunch of weirdos!
I also do the sticky tape thing! it's fun to watch them trying to get it off.
We're so mean!! I thought this was a site for cat lovers?!

Phew! I'm so glad I didn't tell you about the time I was whipping some cream and Pushkin was sitting there scrounging as usual. His big fat jelly belly protudes over his feet whcih makes 2 of his nipples stick out in a most unseemly manner, so I umm put a big blob of whipped cream on them! Hey he didn't mind! Big treat for Pushy!

Ice cubes in the water dish, air drums, dropping several jingly toys on the floor at the same time...

When I cuddle Gracie, I call her my "pudgy love cat." She'd probably be offended if she understood. She's not overweight, just sort of full-figured!

also, we roll Piggy on her back and shake her belly really fast, lol.. yelling "underpantsssssss!!!" And we slide Gibby on the linoleum! We call that Mop Kitty!
