How does your kitty show you s/he's mad?

[boog's mom]

Pogue doesn't get mad...so much as frustrated. Like when he thinks I'm taking too long mixing up his breakfast. He sinks his teeth into my calf, and when I look down to scold him, he looks back at me with this expression like "I have no idea why I just did that."

Poo used to follow the "don't get mad, get even" edict. If she was really mad, she'd back up to a wall wherever I was, and pee on it...looking me in the eye the whole time.

Zissou's moody just like her mommie

. Sometimes she just gets a bug in her butt and decides to pout for days, sometimes she's glued to me.

But when I do do something she doesn't like (a list which is added to every day, and today it included doing sit-ups) she stares at me with a look that actually makes me feel guilty, raises her hackles ever so slightly, then slinks off with this total 'tude. In these moments I finally understand what men mean when they say women are impossible to understand.

When she really hates me, she'll hide under the bed or futon until I look for her. And then stay there.

Ha ha, I did mean cross or irritated, but that kind of mad is interesting, too!

Well it depends on what made her mad.

If she is mad because I won't give her more food, she meows louder and louder at my feet until I take notice, then when I bend down to pet her she dashes off and looks back at me like "just try and catch me! hmmf!"

If she is mad because of any other reason (I lock her out of a room because she is getting into things, I take away the plastic she found to eat, etc.) she will go hide under something all day.. like it's punishing me by not having her around .. (and it does, she knows I like having her by me)

I guess she is pretty smart
