CAT LOVERS - fess up! Do you enjoy playing mind games with your cat?

Thread: I trained my cat to eat at least 7 times a day

Exactly. They are just like people... you got your grumpy ones, loverbugs, pouters, bullies, shy ones, silly ones, etc...certain likes and dislikes for each one, just like us. A lot of people don't realize this, they just think a cat is a cat plain and simple. Nice to hear from someone who does.

:ultracute:

I believe my kats name is,hold on let me check the church directory,yep its Morgan. Anyway she ant got no cat.

all the time, and idk how anybody can hate cats... they kill rodents and mine is a tough sob. Mine takes care of snakes, chases the deer even. my cat is un-hateable. Because hes more man in cat form, than most people Imeet. My cat just chills. He is so low maintnance its scary. He really is an awsome pet. We have gotten to the point where we can comunicate and come to a basic understanding, i can tell what and when he wants things. and he takes care of the property. dosn't even use the litterbox anymore, just goes outside. He also scratches mostly trees outside so nothing is ever tore or messed up. hes so well behaved its kinda scary. How could somone dislike that. train them right theyre members of the family. not my fault yours pisses and shits everywhere! my cat wrestles snakes for enjoyment. anybody elses do that?

playing mind games with cats

This is true. I had a close friend who had a miscarriage and her cat lay with her the whole time she was recuperating. He would often sleep on her stomach.

Cute!!!

I love messing with my babies...

Here's fussy #1 and fussy #2 ........ (Mouse and Luna)

so gorgeous!! I love fluffy kitties!

Michet, the cat on the left loves the laser pointer.

Boris, the buff tabby just looks at the dot and then looks at me. He won't chase it.


Michet is mama cat of Boris, she was a pregnant stray kitty.

well my kitties being guard kitties have too much responsibility around the house than to get mind fucked by me so not really.. except for when they get high with me then i convince them that are really human and now they are stuck as my cats forever.. ;)

I don't know if any of you are Queen fans, but Freddie Mercury was a big cat lover, even calling to talk to them over the phone when he was away on tour.

All of his cats were saved from the shelters [ I think he had 14 in all], but his most beloved kitty was named Delilah.

One his last album [not the very last when the last album when he was alive] had a song about Delilah.

In fact his "goodbye" video to his fans featured Freddie wearing a vest showing all of his feline friends.

Warning: this is a very hard video to watch as Freddie was very close to death at this point due to him being sick with AIDs.

Also, I really don't trust people who don't like cats. Hitler, was a cat hater.

Anyway I have a cat that has came back from the dead three times now.

The first time was Christmas eve one year after he died.

The second time was Easter this time two years after he died.

Its the same cat every time. All of his mannerisms, such as NO human food except for hand fed fruits, always afraid of thunderstorms, same color, same voice, same personality.

Each time he passes away I thanked God for sending him to me, and so far he has always came back.[youtube]

What I love is when my oldest cat, who is 8 and a bit chunky, tries to jump on the counter and misses. He will fall back down and give that Bart Simpson look "nobody saw me do that".

My black cat loves it when I blow smoke in her face... the other one HATES it. A good way to get her to cool off on the cuddles when I'm busy lol.

awww! LOL my fat boy does that. one time he went to get on the window sill but he's too fat to fit like the other cats, so he bounced. poor kitty. or i love it when he tries to get up on the counter but doesn't get up all the way, then slowly tries to do a pull up, the fails.

Love hearing everyone's stories, thanks for sharing.
Kitties definitely have varied personalities, with our young litter, there is the alpha male who asserted himself from day 1 - he would take the best nipple and elbow everyone else out of the way, he is also bigger and looks different than the rest; different father maybe? mom is a domestic shorthair and all the kittens are black short haired, green eyed kitten like the one above. Except the kittler. He's bigger, has short stubby paws and has long hair, he's fluffier and his bone structure is different. He looks almost identical to this guy: [link to photos.petfinder.com]
And our kittler is very even tempered, very sweet and cuddly. Seeks us out, observes us closely and is very independent and curious and highly intelligent. He's the leader of the pack and the one I use to train the rest. If kittler does it, the rest follow, so that's been handy with training. He's impossibly cute and adorable, we literally all fight over who gets to hold or play with him, he just lets us, poor thing, he's so pliable - plop him down and he stays there. The rest of the litter, there are 2 black kitties that are twins, I named them Tyrone and Tyrese (lol), then there is Isis who is a diva and the alpha female - she wears a leopard-spotted collar and thinks she's the shit. Scarface is a kitten who one day had scars under each of his eyes - no one knows what happened. We think he got stuck somewhere and scraped his face or something, the fur is growing back now but he now has street cred and the name Scarface. Then there is Pebbles, who is the runty baby girl, she is tiny and always cold and just wants to be held and cuddled like a baby.

@ the poster with the well-behaved man kitty, my older, Zeus, is like that (the 8 yr old). He was always very serious and protective of us, he seems to "worry" when we leave the house for any reason. When he reached like 6 or 7 yrs old he decided to move out and has lived in our garden/porch since then. He comes in whenever he feels like it but soon finds himself meowing at the door to be let out. He won't scratch furniture or soil the floors, he taught himself to go outside. Everyone on my street knows him by name, even neighbors I don't know (probably b/c of his tag), people walk by and greet him and apparently everyone says he has, at least once, picked a fight - and won- with their dogs. He grew out of that, thankfully and now limits himself to our garden and the neighbors. The teenage girl from across the street sits on her driveway to talk to her friends and they play with my cat, who visits them daily. He also visits my other neighbors who began to feed him and play with him as well. He's sweet but whiny and LOUD but relatively well-behaved, very well mannered and chill.

It's awesome to get to "meet" your cats, even if virtually.

A litter of kittens could possibly have different fathers, interesting fact I learned a while back.

Omg what a whore!

btw,

ours is a white siamese cross, almost 2 yrs old, is quite chatty and owns ME.

So no Queen/Freddie Mercury fans here?

i try staring mine out

he always averts his gaze though. then a couple of minutes later i notice him intently staring at me

probably waiting for me to have a haeart attack or aneurysm or something so he can nibble on my arm?

I'm a Queen Fan. My favorit song is "you're my best friend". I had no idea Freddie Mercury was such a cat lover. How cool for him to resuce all those felines from the shelters. What a good guy!

I love the red-light green-light video. That's funny.
Yes one of my top skills is winning the staring contest.
My cat Mollie just can't bring it like I can.
Ours also enjoy an evening with the laser pointer.

Yes...the laser pointer magically keeps vanishing.

Another poster mentioned whispering to their cat to pressure them into doing something. I agree this works very well. I also say "Psst! and when they turn, I hide or ask them a question in a loud whisper voice and they almost always "reply" or if I hid, they'll come looking for me. Sometimes I just do it to annoy them, especially if they're eating, drinking water or napping (payback is a bitch) "psst! psst! PSSTTTT!".

Listen carefully, someone eggs the cat on.

I would love to tell you about my cat and the games he plays on me, but I am controlled by the itty bitty kitty committee and I am not allowed to speak about it.

Cats have bigtime personalities..

Does your cat roll over on command?
