Title: Alice is such a well mannered cat
Post by: Mark on January 29, 2008, 12:19:56 PM
She always greets me very vocally. The others ignore me.

When I dish her food up, she waits until I am done before eating - the others stick their heads in the bowls before the pouch is open  :evillaugh: - clapton often has a clump of gravy on his head  :evillaugh:

Just now, I was doing her tray in her ensuite and her little head poked around the door. Then she sat outside the door patiently until I was finished. Only when  came out of the room did she fly to the tray to relieve herself  :evillaugh:

She is lovely  :Luv2:

She sort of tip-toes around in circles as if to say "Is that all for me?"  :Luv:

Her best bit of the day is when I lie on the bed in the attic and within seconds she is on the bed - you hear her claws as she isn't strong enough to hop all the way so she has to claw herself up  :Luv2:

Then she sits on me and hopefully goes to sleep but more often than not, stares right into my eyes and I am not allowed to stop petting her - the tail flicks every time I stop although she keeps purring. In fact she never stops purring  :Luv2:

Soon  :evillaugh:

I borrowed the batteries from the camera to put in my black light which came in the post today. I used 2 new batteries and 2 part used ones from the camera. I put them in the way they said and it lit up for about 30 seconds then went off - there was a funny smell so I think it is broken  >:(

I really don't want all the hassle of returning ebay stuff  :tired: - and was really hoping to deal with "problem areas" tonight  :tired:

she sounds lovely mark, i always thought the ones who greatly lacked attention seemed so grateful for it and the ones that get waited on hand & foot turn into little  :censored:  (yep that includes cody  :evillaugh:, fraser used to be abit like alice but years later he's just as bad with all the rude manners )

Seb is the worlds WORST for barging into the food bowl before you've emptied the tin & i understand the catfood heads  :rofl:

She really is so gentle  :)

To think she lived outside under a car for a year  :'(

We think she must have been an old lady's lap-cat and got lost - I think she has a young face but an old worn-out body  :'(

Don't know if you can see by the photos but he back legs are awkward and she doesn't sit on her legs like other cats but drags then to the side.

Mark she is so so adorable do you think she could come over and teach Max Monster some manners, he needs a refresher course as he sometimes forgets how to behave  :Luv2:
