Title: Things we love about our cats
Post by: MrsR on February 08, 2008, 16:33:32 PM
Thought I'd start this thread as there are a billion thiings we all love about our cats and wouldn't it be nice to share them here.

What made me think about doing is thread is something Poppy just did that I love..............

She came through the cat flap, came running up to me and jumped up onto the computer table and churped and rubbed up against my chest.   I just love it when they do that as its like they have come in from being out and run up to you to tell you where they've been and what they have done, its like "Mummy mummy guess where I've been".

As I said there are millions of things we can probably keep adding to this - just thought it would be nice for a smile factor.

In a word - EVERYTHING - I can't even tell Bonnie off for recently putting her claws right through the arm of my leather settee.

I love it when Geoffrey sneaks under the duvet for a cuddle during the night, even if he does wake me up in the process!

What I really love about Bonnie is................  when I'm crying about Smudge being missing she jumps on my knee and then lays on my chest and rubs her head under my chin. Then I give her belly rubs and kisses and feel 10 times better.  :Luv2: :hug: :Luv:

What a lovely thread!  :Luv:

One of things I love about Shanti is that when I'm home she comes in every half hour or so and chirrups, giving me lots of soft, soft headbutts for a few minutes, then goes back out again :)  I also love how both Meesha and Shanti 'open' my eyes in the morning by gently pulling at my eyelids  :Luv:  I adore how Sabby greets me - when he sees me he raises himself right up on his back legs with his little front paws dangling so cutely, and when I give him my hand he jumps to give my hand a bash!  I love how Meesha calls me upstairs to the bathroom where she gets all unnecessary and rubs my hand again and again, stretching her little paws wide up in the air as she does so ... cute overload!  And I love how Sabby 'paddles' away when he's happy - his front legs going nineteen to the dozen whether he's sitting or standing or even lying down!  MMM yum yum!  Now I'm going to have to go and get a paddle!

I could go on ....  :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:

I love pretty much everything about my boy, but the best things I can think of are:-

1.  The way he always greets me at the front door
2.  How he will always jump on me to stop me putting my socks/boots on, and of course make me stay home a bit longer
3.  We always go have cuddles on the bed when I get in from work before I have my bath
4.  The way he sits on the arm/back of the chair when you're eating dinner, and keep touching you with his paw, just to remind you he's there....
5.  The way he will always flop on the floor at the top of the stairs to show off his tummy for a rub
6.  The way he licks my eyelids sometimes to get my attention when I'm asleep

I'm sure there's dozens more, but theres a few for you  :Luv:

I love everything about each and every one of them but especially the way Boopy will headbutt you when she wants to kiss you and the way Minxy Moo climbs up your trousers (on the inside quite often!) if she wants a cuddle  :Luv:

I love it when Dinah is so happy she dribbles, phloomphs over on the bed and does her scrunchy "happy paw".

She also hovers over her water glass (yes, glass) kneads the floor and then moves her whole body round 90 degrees before she drinks.  Probably hard to imagine but it's very sweet.  :Luv:

I love the way they both come to greet me when I return home.  Even if they're asleep and it's a different time from usual, they both stir themselves and come to ask me about my day.

I love the way Jaffa jumps onto the bed at night, demands a cuddle then settles down on his hot water bottle.

I love the way that Mosi climbs onto my lap when I'm at the computer and rolls onto his back with his paws clinging to my tummy so that I end up cradling him like a baby

I love the way Mosi taps my face in the morning to tell me to get up (one of his gentler ways of waking me)

I love the way that Jaffa looks at me, chooses his moment after careful consideration, then gives the most heart wrenching silent miaow ever.

There are so many more!

I love how Meeko comes up onto my pillow and wraps himself round my head, paws round my neck and his head on top of mine, and he purrs for Ireland  :Luv:

I love Belle's naughtiness (well, not all the time), but he's such a lil character, he always makes me laugh.

I love how affectionate Tigger is, he always, always has headbutts for me.

Daisy is the cuddliest cat ever, I love how she snuggles in close to me, and I adore it when she comes up to me with her milky mouth after she's been drinking her catmilk.

I love them to pieces  :Luv2:

Awwwww.... what a lovely thread... and what lovely cats you all have.

Let's see..apart from loving every single thing about Jameson (apart from bringing back trophys) I especially adore it when:

- I come home and he throws himself at my feet, rolls on his back and rolls around with his paws in the air, wiggling around like a worm on the floor wanting strokes and fusses.

- He goes up to his food cupboard and taps it with his paws and meows if he fancies a nibble

- He comes with me into the bathroom when I wash my face/do my teeth and watches me closely from where he sits on the corner of the bath tub. Every so often he'll come up and whack the running water with his paws.

- He wants to play or is bored and comes up to me with a soft meow and a look on his face that says ''attention please''. Doesn't matter what I do, I always drop everything and gets his toys out for a good ol' playing session.

- I work nights and come home to a warm, snuggly and tired kitty. You know when they have just woken up, are completely cod-eyed with their ears are pointing all different directions and looks at you as if they say ''What time do you call this?''

-  (I don't actually *love* this, but I adore it in a very loving way when I look back on it.. it's not so funny at the time) - when he wakes up superearly (4-5am) and wants us to get up too. He'll get in the bookcase and start whacking the contect on the floor. Or gets in between the blinds and window sill and sits there fighting the wooden blinds meowing for us to 'come and find him'.

Lol, that's a trick of Max's as well, and knocking all the cd's onto the floor from the rack.  His best one to wake me up though is to start munching the shoelaces on my trainers, little monster  :evillaugh:
