Excerpts from a Cat's Daily Diary...

Day 983 of my captivity..
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or
some sort of dry nuggets.

Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.

The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to
disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.

Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a 'good little hunter' I am.

tards.

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of 'allergies.' I must learn what this means and how to use it to my
advantage.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my
tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded.

The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicating with the
guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now..................

it must be some kind of manifesto because peanut, young as he is, is learning the ways of these incredible cat type animals. yesterday, i didn't work, i was home all day, he did nothing but eat sleep and use the litter box. at exactly 11:26 PM he woke up...for the night. he spent the night walking across my midsection as i tried to sleep. making sure he deep into that area of my abdomen that hurts like MF after my surgeries. why? he found that the night stand had interesting things on it that he simply must throw on the floor and my body was the perfect bridge. after picking him up and say "NO peanut" about 20 or so times, i went to get the water squirt bottle. he didn't give up, he'd wait till i was asleep and get past the bottle and onto my agonizing ( it was a 4 vicoden night) side back to the night table. and promptly "woke" me at 5:10 because he was hungry. but i got him! I took a half hour walk first! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I GOT YOU PEANUT BUTTER CUP! when i was done he whined until his lips were in the food in his bowl. I'm ok tho, i have my bottle for tonight. i have an alarm that will go off every 5 mins if i fall asleep. he WILL NOT win! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I win cat! i WIN! hee he he he ha hee ha hee

Hoops, have we tried SHUTTING THE DOOR TO THE BEDROOM? :confused:

My cat used to like to play with my feet if they would move during the night she'd jump them and bite them!! Then she always wanted to sleep by my head.... even after I showed her she had a nice little basket with a pillow for her comfort... I would get out of bed, and put her in the basket and say THIS is your bed.... so after several months of useless trying.... I decided time to shut the door on the bedroom!!

After that... it was the cushion on the couch for her!!

Hoops,
Our cat Moses used to love to do this regularly. Whenever he wanted a bit of TLC, he purred until you let him up onto your abdomen...then he had a little ritual of digging his paws in.....gently although could feel his claws at times! Someone told me that this is a maternal bonding instinct that cats do! When Moses got to do this for a bit, he then sat down on abdomen and allowed you to stroke him while he purred away. It was his way for looking for a bit of attention. Sadly Moses aged approx 12 years left us last March, departed from this earth... we still miss him & at times sense his energy near by. He was such a wonderful teacher both in his living and in his passing over....full of wisdom.

So I reckon your in a maternal bonding process.... how lovely. Enjoy cos they grow up soooooo fast.

I once tried shutting Junior out of a room he wanted to stay in. He responded by jumping as loudly as possible against the door all night.

davem, i had a cat like that once...seriously
angel, when i say he hurts me it is not because we are bonding,but because he is stepping on surgical scars that are strangling nerve clusters and they hurt like heck when nothing touches them, when something does touch them it's like...well, it hurts a great deal. the kneading that cats do to bond is such a cute and precious thing. when he kneads i call him needy boy. cause when they knead,they usually need love.

Sounds like Misty, but she makes herself obvous to me at every given opportunity, and if I don't pick her up then she gives periodic little squeaks until I take more notice of her!
