I LOVE THAT DSTM....I have it bookmarked someone sent me it before. My cat isnt allowed in our bedroom...arent I cruel???

Very cute there. One thing my cat and that one did the same....was neither touched the dang scratching post !!

Mine does that too ,even hits me with a bat

blimey mz30.. get it on the telly..quick!!

That was an adorable animation!!!

I have two cats that do that (minus the bat). Luckily, I'm at college right now! Besides, my mom has taken to locking them in the basement to prevent that...but, she sometimes she doesn't, and then hilarity ensues.

That was hilarious DSTM thanks for sharing. When I lived with my mom one of our cats was named Silvia and every morning she use to get up on my pillow and start licking my face and if I didn't wake up right away she would start chewing my hair. If all else failed she would paw my face, good thing I have always taught my cats to not use there claws when they play or else I would have been a mess. They are some smart little creatures, got to love how they try to play innocent and look at you like "Don't look at me, I was just laying here". You just can't help but laugh.

Oero does that every time the food dish gets empty, doesnt matter if he's hungry or not.

My cat does the same thing, minus the bat, but she adds a nice little extra touch to the performance, she does a nice little dance back and forth,back and forth right over a full bladder!!! That'll do it everytime!!!


This is a really good one DSTM !!

Very funny little video, DSTM, and I laughed at not just it but reading the other stories about fur-balls-on-legs!

While our old kitty doesn't dig out the bat to wake my husband up, suspect Glen would prefer that to having kitty puke on his head - huge ugh!!!
(I sing 'SPCA' to the old thing constantly but haven't the heart to actually do it - yet! Grin!).

I'll take a good guess that your SPCA is sung to the tune of the Village People's song YMCA? Thanks Mara I really needed a good laugh and a plan, hmmmm

Even if I wasn't deathly allergic to cats, I still wouldn't have one!

We all have choices,as to whether what type of pet one prefers,or none at all.
Personally,Cats have made my life so much happier.They never judge you, and are full of affection.
The rewards far outweigh the cost and care involved to keep them.

As far as giving Cats Tablets,I find a simple way to do this is to have a couple of very small pieces of meat.Cut a small slit in one piece and hide it inside.They will allways smell the first piece of meat.Give them the piece first without the tablet,as they have a very keen sense of smell.The second one they normally go for it without smelling. Job done.

I have two Cats left,but one cat 'Blacky' which does exactly as that funny Animation suggests.Only difference he is still looking for a bat. He has a bad habit of headbutting you as well. Likes to lay in wait till you allmost doze off again and strikes.
Agree with you 'Iodine' They know exactly where to put their Paws,when you need to go to the Toilet. LOL.

I always found that placing said pill in the cats mouth and then clamping jaws shut while blowing in the nose always worked (of course I have tough skin and an ample tolerance for blood loss and pain, so guess who gives the kitties their pills). The dog swears pills are candy and requires no bacon.

The joke about giving a kitty a pill is truly funny, MattV - and sadly true! So, being tired of getting bite and scratched, I'm going to try the other great idea - blowing in the nose while holding the jaws ... but come to think about it, blackspyder, who holds their feet with those vicious little claws??

I'd try your method DSTM but oddly enough our kitties will not eat 'real' food - raw, steamed, roasted makes no difference - in fact, they won't even eat salmon or other fish. Persnickidy fur balls but I love them.

(Still laughing about your comment, Iodine, because yes - the Village People must be proud as I'm sure thousands of pet owners have the tune down to a fine art by now - grin!).
