I hate it when MacBeenz is in a huff with his Daddy and takes it out on me - particularly when that means I get no MacBeenz snoozles.

How's a woman to live?!

im adding a new for Neko. Being obsessed with the living room bin. or rather being obsessed with it always being empty and on its side and its previous content scattered throughout the house. for the last month ive been patiently putting it back. given up now. empty bin, pockets full of rubbish. it is very cute how he wakes up and goes to check the bin to see if any more toys have arrived in it

everytime i open the fridge im jumped on

how cheeky he is

the way he cuddles and purrs at zen the dog but i never get as much as a tail smack

the way he has his mad half hour and then demands food

the way he hides behind things and then attacks the dogs walking past

the way he watches tele

the way he plays with tinfoil balls

the way he makes a mad run for freedom whenever we let the dogs out but if he does go out he sits under the car and waits to be brought back in as if to say i never actually meant to get outside

the way every morning he turns my alarm off (i have a touch screen phone and he has figured out that if he hits it with his paw it shuts up) and then jumps on my head when i fall back to sleep

the way he meows wen he wants something and it sounds exactly like mam

his big long tail

that he lets me play with his paws

that he acts like he doesnt care about me but cries if he is isnt in the same room (unless its the kitchen he's been left alone in)

that even though he nearly a year old he still insists on kneading Zen (the dog) before he goes to bed even tho zen hates it and moves away which ends up as a game of catch and knead the dog before he can move again

that he has been soo tolerent of having new kittens in his house every so often

the way he goes on when he gets catnip things (not often as he would like as it makes him unbelievably hyper which leads to alsorts of trouble as im sure all of you with hyper cats can agree with)

how he insists on being carried to bed like a baby

toes under the blanket

raiding the food bin and ripping open pouches

jumping on kittens

not giving me more cuddles

wouldnt change him for the world.

LOVE when Kiki comes to give my leg a hug (wraps her arms round and everything) when I get in from work, and she is very cute when she sucks her tail

also when she likes to watch me when I'm cooking, and she watches tv too he he.

LOVE when Chutney comes to bed with me, stays on the other side of the bed and only gets up when I do

also love the fact she used to hate Tummy rubs, and now flops onto her side for them at every oppurtunity

HATE when Kiki'throws a tantrum' which can include swiping, making 'annoyed' noises (like if I pick her up off the kitchen worktop) or when she gets bored and starts giving me 'the paw' in the face usually....or when she chases Chutney

HATE (strong word, more prefer if she didn't) that Chutney can take soooo long to trust people, and will wlays run away. I want to show her off because she's such a pretty Tortie!

I love his little spotty vest and stripey jim-jams.

My boss Missy,

i love the fact that even tho we've only had her for a few days she seems to be settling in well.
the fact that a jigsaw puzzle in a box is more amazing than catnip for her
and feather on a stick is heaven.

i hate the fact that unless we have 2cm of water in the bath she will poop in it instead of her litter tray,
she also hate being picked up with is a shame

OMG ive just melted .. would luv to, but right now Riley the boy we have just taken off the streets is
still a bit on the growly & hissin thing with my others, my 4 aint retaliated at all, bless them all. Think they know he has had a rough time & the just sit & watch him

and i have 2 ebt's, so a rescue girl would have to be kinda ok with dogs, as Lola is a bum magnet lol, but knows her place with the cats

When Riley is settled & well & put his weight back on, then will prob be the time

Loving all the 'loves' and 'hates'

I've thought of another one for Lu, I love the way he comes running into the living room and meows at me to let me know Riley has moved over to his bowl when they're having breakfast/dinner. I have to walk with him back to the kitechen, tell Riley to go back to his bowl and then Lu happily munches the rest of his dinner

Jerry - LOve his gentle little snoozles , the way he curls round my neck , and the way every time he comes through the cat flap he likes to tell me about all the adventures he's been having.

Hate - the fact he is the clumsiest and naughtiet cat ever - always knocking things over , most of the time on purpose!

Gizmo - Love his big fluffy white tummy , the way he smiles when he's all settled dowmn on your lap for a snooze and the amazing positions he sleeps in - cuteness overload!

Very little to dislike amout my fluffy man - except maybe the small earthquake when he lands on you in the middle of the night!

Stevie - LOve his little 'I've tried to get in through a locked flap a few too many times' squashed face, his very deep raspy purr , and the fact that with prople he knows he is a complete and utter cuddle bum.

Hate - the fact he is still so scared of new people -

Fred-cat - Love the way he trills at you when he's really happy , and his cute habit of gently dragging your hand over with his paw when he wants attention.

Hate - the hunting side of him - he is vicious with his prey and with his size is no object , Hares and Pheasants are not unusual.!!!

cazzer · « **Reply #30 on:** September 24, 2011, 21:31:14 PM »

Kyrre I love his chattiness and his need to have the tear off strips from bozita and milk cartons. I hate the fact he has to jump in cupboards, wardrobes and linen baskets

Kalle I love his gentle nature and the fact he loves to wash everyone. I hate the fact he is besotted by bread [especially french bread] and will help himself

Karlo I love the fact he is such a cuddle bug and is incredibly playful. I hate the fact in the mornings if he isn't being fed fast enough he will nip my ankles like a corgi!

Kaisa I love the fact she seems aloof until you fuss over her when she suddenly becomes a cuddle bug like her brother. Not sure if there is anything I hate about her.

Ginger I love his head butts and the fact he curls his tail around us as we walk past him. I hate the fact he keeps on leaving deposits at the bottom of the stairs

Oska I love his gentle nature. I hate his yowling and the fact he will bite if I try to groom him

Sassie I love the fact she loves being groomed and will come running if she sees the brush. I hate her yowling as well

Jiskefet · « **Reply #29 on:** September 24, 2011, 20:57:46 PM »

Catweazle:
Love the way he takes people's hands into his paws and drags it to his face to point out where he wants to be fondled. Love how he comes running to greet me when he hears the car turn into the street.
Love how he hangs around the house, waiting to take us for a walk.
Love how he always cares for and protects the other cats, he is the one who will stay close when a new cat explores the garden and the street. When Tosca was sitting on the shed for nearly a week, waiting for Jiskefet (who got run over) to come home, Catweazle (who had seen him dead) kept her company for hours and hours. When Steffie, who, by then, was too old to climb the fence of the garden, had slipped out the front door, he stayed with her till we came home and ran up to us to tell us where she was, so we could take her back in.

The only thing about Catweazle I both love and hate is the way he sleeps with us. He will curl up quite close to my ear and purr and or snore very loudly, and sometimes he will curl up in my armpit, so I wake up with a numb arm.
Very loving, very touching, but I do not get much sleep that way.

Hmmm hate maybe too strong as Im the kind of soft sap that forgives.... I do get kind of annoyed when Amber decides she doesnt feel like sleeping and thinks that standing on my throat/bosom/any other painful area is a good way to get attention.
Also when she decides that something Ive touched even though I have no idea what means she has to treat me like cat nip and nip any part that doesnt move quick enough.

On the love side its silly things like she doenst enjoy having the claws clipped but if I pick up the clippers shes on my knee purring. She loves having her cystease on her supper and will happily watch me stir it in before eating it.
She has this strange idea that if I wake in the night unless she comes for a cuddle I wont go back to sleep so we spend ages with me trying to convince her Im sleepy and her trying to persuade me to sleep while sticking feet in places I dont really want cat feet and claws

Its a good question though as I personally (purrsonally?) think anyone who says thier furry friend has never annoyed them is lying

love

Great thread Helen

Lucifer, is almost perfect. hes not a fussy eater, hes impeccably tidy, never naughty except one thing. refusing to come back in when called

hell come back to me but just not close enough to grab and frequently takes hours of me chasing him (benny hill style) around the garden and cul-de-sac fantasizing about buying a big net

but i love his over the top theatrics to welcome me home and his odd sighing purr and constant chatter and they way when he sleeps he reaches out to rest a paw on me

Sparecat- love falling asleep to the sound of her snoring and waking in the winter to a cuddle when she demands to be let under the duvet. i love how comfy she always looks asleep on her pile of duvet and how she always welcomes a fuss.Love how shes taken nekos worship of her as a given and looks after and protects these 2 useless boys from the neighbourhood cats. hate being splattered by cold cat dribble when she shakes her head after an ear skritch and her preference for junkfood cat food (and he willingness to thieve it from the neighbours)

Neko- love his big furry cuddles, love how exciting he finds everything, his big paws and his cconstant tomfoolery and how he brings me toys in bed all through the night. even the big stick ones that smack you in the face in the middle of the night. love how he gets so excited about breakfast he spins in circles and chirps his special but-im-staaaarrrrvvving chirp
hate,his bizarre conviction that the bath is infact an uber-litter tray and much better than any other litter tray

,that hes got a sensitive stomach but is a dustbin and will try to eat anything love and simultaneously hate his obsession with washing me, my clohes, my washing, sparecat, duvet etc.

Fabulous thread Helen.

As you know, I've been cat-less for nearly 2 years now but I find it interesting that so many of you hate dribbling cats. Korky never dribbled until later in life when he had some teeth out and then his tongue would hang out and he would dribble and I loved it. He was, of course, perfect in every way.

Well, apart from the fact that although he knew exactly what a scratching post was for and would instantly demonstrate this knowledge whenever I bought him a new one, that was always the linit of his use of said article. From that point on it would be back to scratching the carpet (preferable) or the chairs. Cost me a fortune.

my 5 are me world.
Pod is just a good boy in everyway, but eats all the food & even steals the dogs food, & ive now gotta watch his weight. Love his cuddles & waking up with him snuggles on my pillow, thats when i get the kicks to my head whilst he gets comphy, but he will snuggle up & its lovely.

Flora, little explorer. She is no bother at all, and lovin when she wants to be. I would have 10 of her, apart from her odd bite, she's chatty & loving.

Rolo can be the naughty one, if i keep him in he will pee on the wooden floor infront of me. (thought he was poorly
but no, he just being a little sod) He will also just go & sit on the others when they are sleeping, so the whackey
races begins thru the house. Also he worries me sick when he go off over the fields for hours, but returns with a present for me ... a rabbit

And at this very moment as i type this, he is demandin a fuss, claws sharp on my legs etc, pick him up he bites my chin & dribbles in my face as he shakes his head.

Peaches, she is a little darling, very loving & comes to be everynite & sleeps on me. But she pulled the wall paper off the stairs in chunks, she will steal my food off my plate given the chance or she will paw my arm. And obsessed with flys & moths.

Riley, our latest adopted boy. He seems to be settling in, but a little growler to the other furkids. Not lashed out at them, but he is gettin more & more confident everyday

The english bull terriers... Lola age 17 months & Tom 4 1/2 months ....Naughty naughty naughty naughty,
but i luv them all so much.
Just hope they luv their mumma (slave) the same

You can imagine i dont get much chill out time in their house !!
