So very true. My cat has been a pill the last couple of days. Terribly possessive, meowing when I do something he doesn’t like, anticipating when I sit down so he tries to hop on my lap before I’m even settled. Argh.
That. True. *show the cat away from the tablet* I have to lock them out of the room when I’m sewing or I will have to pick pin out of their fur for hours.
True! We have four cats and the youngest (about a year old) is such a little brat! Gets into EVERYTHING!
And we’ve done the test: We have put tiny post-its on the ground and proven that no matter what paper you leave on a flat surface, cats will sit on it :).
Meghan: If you leave enough Post-Its around, cats will actually use them to make a picture on your wall. Not sure what the threshold number is, though… 😉
Want a cat to leave you alone? Laugh at it. As Robert Heinlein said in his book, “The Door Into Summer”, cats are very comical, but have no sense of humor.
So if you want a cat to leave you alone, laugh at it. Don’t laugh at what he’s doing, laugh at HIM. You’ll offend him so deeply he’ll have nothing to do with you for the rest of his life. Of course, that also means no purring, no shoulder bumps, no… anything.
Cats are funny little beasts, aren’t they? No sense of humor… sensitive to spooks and seismic events… and always demanding your attention while ignoring you at the same time. Sassy would never put up with laughing AT her…. when you’re laughing, your lap moves… and the landmine post-it notes would only cause her to retaliate with a PUC on the bathroom floor… (Poor Unfortunate Creature).
So true..so true. When my cat “Squeeker” wanted my attention he came and sat in the middle of whatever book I happened to be reading at the time. He didn’t budge until he was ready too…soo funny!

My one cat has gotten into the habit where if you sit down at the kitchen table, she will jump on your back, demanding attention.

Really? Is that worth it?
