Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2004Cat pics - "kitchen cats"
Hi all: New pictures of the boys at http://community.webshots.com/user/susanmandfredk under "Kitchen cats". It's scandalous but true. The boys get up on the counters and table and *stay up*. Susan M Otis and Chester Ill-behaved cats > It's scandalous but true. The boys get up on the counters and table and > *stay up*. Of course they stay up! It's more fun up! We've given up on the table, but the counters are still technically off-limits for the cats. Not that they care, but we try.

The only counter Persia is interested in is my master bathroom counter. That way she gets to fuss and get in my way when I'm trying to put on makeup, etc. Jill I never tried to keep Maya off the counter or the table. I never use the table for eating. I debated getting rid of the table but you sort of have to have one and sometimes you need a large flat surface for projects. I moved Maya's food dish to the counter when I first got Bruiser so I could keep him out of Maya's adult food and feed him kitten food on the floor. That plan did not survive first contact with the kitten for long to paraphrase an old military expression. After an amazing running leap from the table to the counter for a tiny kitten, I gave up. Bruiser is such a messy eater, the counter is the easiest place to clean up when he is done and my normal food preparation consists of tearing the top off something and sticking it in the microwave. Besides how would he be able to make sure I washed the dishes correctly if he was not allowed up there? >> Victor Martinez <me@nospam.com> had some very interesting things to >> say about Re: Cat pics - "kitchen cats": [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Jill John Biltz <biltzjohn@cox.net> had some very interesting things to say about Re: Cat pics - "kitchen cats": >I never tried to keep Maya off the counter or the table.

I moved Maya's food dish to the counter when I first got My kitchen table does multi-duty as project space [especially for polymer clay projects], additional food prep space, and a serving area when we have dinner guests. Our "dining room", even before we added some furniture and the upright freezer, was NOT big enough to accomodate a table people could actually eat at [we tried it], so meals are generally eaten in the living room. When we have guests, it's buffet-style and TV trays. When it's just the two of us, computer desks and serving oneself directly from the stove/microwave is the usual routine. :-) Signature"The universe is quite robust in design and appears to be doing just fine on its own, incompetent support staff notwithstanding. :-)" - the Dennis formerly known as (evil), MCFL > Hi all: > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Otis and Chester > Ill-behaved cats I have to tell you....they don't look like they feel very guilty :) Karen > New pictures of the boys at > http://community.webshots.com/user/susanmandfredk > under "Kitchen cats". > > It's scandalous but true.

The boys get up on the counters and table > and *stay up*. I won't tell anyone! :) (Recently a woman came to my house so I could help her with some math problems. During our tutoring session, Roxy kept jumping on the table, and I had to put her on the floor 3 times. She was doing this because I was finishing a bowl of cereal, and she was waiting for me to give her the bowl to lick clean as I always do. At some point I said to the woman (as a sort of disclaimer) that I've never trained my cats to stay off the table and I hoped she didn't mind. This woman - who is not one of my regular friends, I can tell you that - made a huffy comment about how her cats *never* get on the table because she doesn't feed her cats people food. Well, s'cuze me!) Joyce >(Recently a woman came to my house so I could help her with some math >problems. During our tutoring session, Roxy kept jumping on the table, Wow, you do just about a little of everything! I don't like it when Betty gets on the table, but I just bite my tongue and let her, because I haven't provided her with a better perch in that area. >>(Recently a woman came to my house so I could help her with some math >>problems. During our tutoring session, Roxy kept jumping on the table, > Wow, you do just about a little of everything! Are you referring to the tutoring, or the fact that I let my cats go where they please? If the former, yes, I am a Jill of all trades. I do lots of odd jobs these days. Joyce >>(Recently a woman came to my house so I could help her with some math >>problems.

Don't forget about the 'big' Walmart in Salem NH maybe they still have some catrees. I think there's a Petsmart in Woburn.

I think there's a Petsmart in Woburn. I go to the Petsmart in Burlington, which is larger. I looked on a map, and I noticed that the Salem Walmart is on the same road as the shelter where I adopted Betty! (It's about a quarter mile south of the NH border.) I know that place. It's between where I used to live and where I got married.

They carry alot of stuff at that store even groceries. Suz Macmoosette Thank Heavens There's Only One =^..^= =^..^= =^..^= =^..^= =^..^= =^..^= I've learned to not sweat the petty things, and not pet the sweaty things. My cats get up on the small table I have in the kitchen but not on the dining room table. I know they also get up on my counters. Cinnamon usually get blamed for getting on the counter as she will get into everything. I know when they get on the counter at night because I have a motion sensor light in my kitchen and the only way the cats can make it come on is to be on the counter. One night I was waiting for Abby to finish eating in the kitchen, Cinnamon gets fed in another room. I went to open the door and I see the light in the kitchen. About the time I realize the light shouldn't be on I hear a light thump as Abby jumps off the counter.

Emily, Mr Peabody & Max > Hi all: > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > It's scandalous but true. The boys get up on the counters and table and > *stay up*. Great pic's! I loved seeing your boys, didn't realize (or maybe remember?) that they look so similar to each other. About the table and counters, I let Vino on everything. I don't think he's dirty and don't care what other people think. Dennis and I have never felt the need to deprive our wittle baby cutie pie of *anything*, LOL! Well, that's not true, when we first got Vino we tried to keep him off the kitchen counters, but he soon educated us to the fact that that was a bad idea. -- Britta Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album >It's scandalous but true. The boys get up on the counters and table and >*stay up*. I really liked these. The light above the table gives the pictures such a dramatic effect, like Otis and Chester are on stage giving a presentation on how to be kitchen cats. > Hi all: > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Otis and Chester > Ill-behaved cats Your boys are *gorgeous* and no more badly behaved than Mike. Of course, that's not saying much. :-P ------ Krista & Mike, who is allowed on the counters and table except when we're actually cooking and/or eating. |
