I am sooooooooo guilty of a lot of these questions I found on a website. How about you lot?
Mary
Does your cat own you?
Are you too afraid to take this test?
Do you choose your friends based on how well your cats like them?
Does your desire to collect cats intensify during times of stress?
Do you buy more than 50 pounds of cat litter a month?
Do you scoop out the litter box after each use? Do you wait at
the box with the scoop in your hand?
Do you think it's cute when your cat swings on the curtains or licks
the butter?
Do you openly admit to non-cat owners how many cats you really have?
Do you sleep in the same position all night because it annoys your
cats when you move?
Do you feed your cat food from the plate with your fork?
Does your cat sit at the table (or ON the table) when you eat?
Does your cat sleep on your head? Do you like it?
Do you have more than four opened but rejected cans of cat food
in the refrigerator?
Do you watch TV channels just because the cat is sleeping on the remote?
Did you buy a video tape of fish swimming in an aquarium to entertain
your cat?
Will you stand at the open door indefinitely in the freezing rain
while your cat sniffs the back door, deciding whether to go out or come in?
Would you rather spend a night at home with your cat than go out on
a date?
Do you give your cat presents and a stocking at Christmas? Do you
spend more for your cat than you do for your partner?
Do the Christmas cards you send out feature your cat sitting on
Santa's lap? Does your cat sign the card?
Do you put off making the bed until the cat gets up?
Do you climb out of bed over the headboard or footboard, so
you won't disturb the sleeping cat?
At the store, do you pick up the cat food and cat litter before
you pick out anything for yourself?
Do you cook a special turkey for your cat on holidays?
Does your cat "insist" on a fancy Sunday breakfast consisting of
an omelette made from eggs, milk, and salmon, halibut, or trout?
Do you have pictures of your cat in your wallet? Do you bring
them out when your friends share pictures of their children?
(Researchers claim that 40% of cat owners carry their pet's
pictures in their wallets.)
When people call to talk to you on the phone, do you insist that
they say a few words to your cat as well?
Do you accept dates only with those who have a cat? If so, do you
eventually double-date with the cats to see how they get along?
When someone new comes to your house, do you introduce your
cat, by name, to them?
Now what do your answers tell you???????
-
:rofl: Um, I think I need help :shify: :rofl:
-
I am hugely relieved to say that I only had to answer Yes five times. There was one 'sometimes' in there too ... 8)
-
I didn't have to say yes too many times either, and at least one was 'I used to' (photos in wallet) - and a sort of to the litter, I do have nearly 90l in the house, but i only paid for 1 bag of it!! A lot of people hear Molly when I am on the phone, but only cos she makes a noise, not cos I try and get her to!!
-
I suspect my mother would have to answer yes to most - I used to cringe when she introduced the cat as my sister (on the basis that she was the cat's meowmy and mine) :sick: and conversations with the cat on the phone got terribly tedious I have to say ... :Crazy:
-
Clare, Don't tell me you answered YES to them all!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Mary
-
Wooopsss! Yes to EVERYTHING
-
Mee too :rofl:
-
Clare, Don't tell me you answered YES to them all!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Mary
Not all, but there were quite a few where I had to think very carefully about my response :shify: :evillaugh:
-
What's Frank's is mine and mine is Franks :rofl: :hug:
-
:rofl: As it should be :Luv:
-
Oh dear - I answered yes to 9 :shy:
Do you sleep in the same position all night because it annoys your cats when you move? Yes, they don't get annoyed but I don't want to disturb them :shy:
Does your cat sleep on your head? Do you like it? Yes (Riley) and No, I don't really like it!
Did you buy a video tape of fish swimming in an aquarium to entertain your cat? They have kitty goes hunting ( :thanks: Horza) and my Dad bought them (or even more strangely me :Crazy:) the aquarium one for Christmas.
Do you give your cat presents and a stocking at Christmas? Of course!
Do the Christmas cards you send out feature your cat sitting on Santa's lap? Does your cat sign the card? Not quite, but they did send personalised Lucas & Riley Xmas cards from the Purrs shop and yes, of course they signed it!
Do you put off making the bed until the cat gets up? Yes, I don't want to disturb them but equally I wouldn't attempt to change the bed while they're in the room - that's just asking for trouble!
Do you climb out of bed over the headboard or footboard, so you won't disturb the sleeping cat? Yep
Do you have pictures of your cat in your wallet? Do you bring them out when your friends share pictures of their children? Yep, Tiggy is in my purse. I also have lots of pics on my phone and show them to anyone who will look :evillaugh:
When people call to talk to you on the phone, do you insist that they say a few words to your cat as well? Yep, sometimes - depends on who it is though :evillaugh:
-
I had about 5 or 6 - but could understand the ones I don't actually follow!
-
Only 6 yes, perhaps I am a bad mother. ;D
-
Yes to about 11 of them :-[ The ones referring to cats going out (waiting at the door to let them in) or a large number of cats didn't apply, otherwise there probably would have been more :-[
-
Susanne, don't you dare be embarrassed to say yes to 9 of them - be proud girl. :Luv2: :rofl: :hug:
Smudge used to smack me in the face with his paw about 3 a.m. and I'd let him out and stand there freezing until he came back in - had me trained well!!

Do you think it's cute when your cat swings on the curtains or licks the butter?
I have a very well behaved kitty... (most of the time) who does not jump on kitchen counters... however... :D My husband's birthday is on Christmas and I had made him a cake complete with homemade buttercream frosting. Most of it was chocolate buttercream but I made a small amount without cocoa to do the writing with... Well not only were his parents and siblings over but mine as well. After Christmas dinner I'd put the cake out on the table, unbeknown to everyone, Leeloo had gotten up on the table and licked off the entire B from Birthday and part of the H from happy as well! Luckily it was my mother who noticed and not someone from his family. (They're not used to pets at all) So we were able to save the cake, while Leeloo sat in the corner licking her chops!
Do you sleep in the same position all night because it annoys your cats when you move?
Not so much that it annoys her but that she's sleeping on my legs and I don't want to wake her up! LOL
Silly kitties with their incredible mental powers of persuasion!
-
They should have added:
Do you give your cat arub down and wipe their feet when they come in from the rain?
Do you hate to move once your cat has settled on your lap?
Do you have long converstaions with them, but really sort of talking to yourself?
Do they sit on the desk whilst you are trying to type this?
And quite a few yes but luckily not to too many. So next time I am asked how many cats I have, I should be able to answer and add
: hoping for one more.
Non cat owners just don't understand just like people have prejudices against rats.
-
There should be another one...
-Do you converse with your cat, imitating and (attempting to) echo the sound/voice he/she is making, and feel like you two are having a real heartfelt chat, whilst in reality you have no idea what you are talking about?
-This behaviour of yours slip out while a guest is in the house, and finally catch yourself when you realise that your guest is looking at you very concerned? :innocent:
-
Glad I'm not the only one who does that Licia. Even my OH thinks I'm nuts but then he is almost certainly right :rofl: :rofl:
-
Well relieved to konw I'm not the only one who answered yes to many of the questions.
-
I answered yes to a lot of those, even though we havn't got our cats yet, a lot of them would have applied when I was at my parents with Casper. We won't need to buy our new kitties fish dvds as there is a large tank of fish in the lounge, with a secure lid may I add so there will be no kitty fishing, lol!
-
Not saying how many I said yes to :-[ but it was more than 8 :evillaugh:
