What conversation did you have with your cat today?

[betsygee]

 
Bretten jumps onto my desk and parks himself directly in front of the monitor AGAIN.

Me: Bretten, you're being a pain. Not a pane, a pain. lf you were being a pane l'd still be able to see the computer, but you're being a pain!

Bretten: Meh, it all sounds the same to me. And l look so cute up here.

He had me there 

 

LOL

The Rogue

, wearing his hideous e-collar: 

"yay!" (slipping through my legs into the garage)

me: "oh, no, not again, not with this thing on" (putting out food so he comes back in)

Rogue: "yay!"

(running back to investigate food)

me:"aaargh", noting he had been squeezing behind my bicycle _again_ and the chain rubbed off all over on his e-collar.

Rogue: "so what?"

me: grabbing him, fiddling with the hideous thing to get it off and clean it.

Rogue (without the collar): "yay!!!"

(running off so I can't put it back on).

me  

 : "all right, only 9 more days with that"

lucky for me, he is neither fast nor inventive in his hiding places

 

 

[stewball]

He's got a lovely face.

 

[stewball]

LOL....I love your Casper, he demands what he wants and gets it.....lol.

My Spotty, on the other hand, is confusing me:

Spotty: meows.
me     :what? what do you want?
spotty: meows
me:     Oh, okay....some patting.
spotty: walks away
me    :  oh, okay, show me what you want. Where do you want to go?
spotty:  sits, stares, looks away
me:        I don't know what you want.
spotty  :  goes to lay down beside me on bed.  (probably thinking "I just love MESSING with you.")
me :     Yeah, thanks, because I love to follow you, you change your mind, and end up where I was sitt              laying anyway
spotty:  falls asleep, no longer bothering to listen to me speaking.(the story of my life....lol)

Darn squirrels also know there is a cat inside, and know he cannot get to them through the glass, and he is a senior 14yr old kitty, so they just bounce their tails around and eye each other.  (I am happy about the glass partition, too, because "showdown at Spotty's Place might become a rated R film"

'Showdown at Spotty's Place' made me laugh.

 

[stewball]

Lucky ladies. I'm only regarded as somebody more than nobody when I fill their plates - they're free fed - and when they get their nightly treats otherwise I'm invisible and the ex . is the love of whisky's life and blighty follows whisky.

Coral and I have many conversations, most which go like this:

Me: Coral. Let me tell you...

Coral: *slow blinks*

Me: ...you're a snooty, conceited, selfish little poop with no regards for anyone else.  

Coral: *lightly meows*

Me: But I love you so much. *kisses her*

Coral: *purrs*

Me: Why do you knock things over at night? 

Coral: ... *walks off*

This conversation is adorable, @edenandcoral723   and its always the "meow" that gets us to "cave" and fall to our knees, wondering what the cat wants.  You can be having a serious conversation, then she/he will meow, and you forget that you were just in the middle of a lecture, about eating all their cat food up.

And when they purr,  all is right in the universe. 

(I love that name "Coral" btw....it's so unique)

 

[frankie the cat]

This was our latest conversation. 

I am in the kitchen making dinner. And Frankie enters kitchen stage left.

Frankie- meows softly. ( notice me )

me- hey frankie baby

Frankie -  meow ( I want tuna )

me - no tuna today because you had some yesterday

Frankie -  meow meow ( But i asked nicely )

me - please stop trying to manipulate me. No tuna today. Maybe tomorrow.

Frankie - Calls Xena - MEOW !!! ( help me get tuna from mom )

Now here comes Xena.

Xena/Frankie - meow meow meow ( we would like our tuna please.)

me - awww cmon guys this is not fair

Frankie - meow MEEEEOOOOWWWW ( why are you doing this to us ? )

Xena soft meow ( but I am hungry )

Me- but Xena you and frankie just had tuna yesterday.

Xena - Meow ( I hardly had any cuz Frankie ate his and mine too. )

Me- Oh yeah ?

Frankie - meow ( its true )

Me - well.... Frankie will you let xena have some too ?

Frankie - meow ( maybe )

Xena - meow ( you better Frankie )

Me - okay, tuna today and no more this week.

Then I put their tuna on separate plates. 

Now the convo goes like this.

me- Frankie stop trying to eat Xenas tuna you have your own.

And I move frankie back to his plate

Frankie-  meow (she has more than me )

And frankie goes to her plate again

Xena- nom nom nom

Me- ( talking to husband ) Charles tell Frankie to eat his own tuna

Charles - Frankie listen to your mother

Frankie-meow ( if I must )

Finally he eats off his own plate.

Xena - nom nom nom

Frankie - nom nom nom

me - can I continue cooking now ?

Then they go about their business licking their lips enjoying their victory ! And I feel used.....

Aww, thanks!

 Coral knows how to play hearts and capture everyone's attention. She's just a big, snooty queen.

I said "Harley (pictured above), haven't you yet linked going outside and eating grass with immediately coming in and barfing on the carpet?"

 

[roguethecat]

I said (to my crowd of pathetic attack-and-kill cats): "There are always at least two of you guys watching through the window, and two fierce ones patrolling the front yard, so how come the deer get away with eating my tomato plants?"

They said: "well, it was fun watching them, and then watching you discovering the damage and jumping around like a madwoman"

"Thank you, Rico and Ozzy, for your 'help' and company in the office this afternoon, but you'd better scram before dad gets home, you know how he is about you getting on his desk and eating his paperwork...."

R&O:  "We won't tell if you won't"

Just had to share that I feed 7 does..and water them

at our home

what I  use to prevent them from my flower bed

is called Repel repellant spray.

I buy it at Lowe's...

You spray the bottom of the plant in your case

I feel okay to spray near your tomato plants

I spray my daylilys around the edge of the flower bed

directly on them..about 8 out of 60 daylilys I spray.

If it rains a lot then I spray those again...

if not then I spray only every 2 weeks..

Made with garlic and other ingredients..

you can google it and read on it..

I have had that discussion with my 2 "Fierce and Mighty Hunters" (not).  

They sit there and watch the deer too.  

You should see what my husband did to the vegetable garden this year to keep the deer away.

[sneakymom]

We spent more protecting that garden that we would have spent on trips to the farmers market

 

[roguethecat]

wow. Have you tried any of the repellents? 

 

[sneakymom]

The repellant does nothing. So far the enclosure seems to be keeping the critters out.

Around 3AM i asked the new kitten why he doesn't want to let me sleep... he just licked my face and pranced around the bed.  He spent a majority of his first night playing with my hair and nose ring, sucking on my ears, and making the hubby grumpy. Gave him foods, let him potty, and he STILL wanted to play. silly baby....
