Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2004Why?
Hi All, I don't expect any answers, but I have a question. Why, when a cat wants to cross from one side of your legs to the other while you are lying in bed, is it necessary for them to step on each leg with all four feet? Regards and Purrs, O J > Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Regards and Purrs, > O J And whoever can answer that, why is it that the same cat walking across your legs sometimes weighs about 10 ounces and sometimes weighs about 25 pounds and seems to have hooves rather than paws. Jo Same cat parked on your chest while you sleep seems to weigh 50# and be wearing lead boots. : > Hi All, : > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] : : Jo >Same cat parked on your chest while you sleep seems to weigh 50# and be >wearing lead boots. Of course if you moved them off your chest, you'd miss all that beard snuggling.

Or why an animal built for silent stealth sounds like a herd of water buffalo running up and down the stairs. :P >: > Hi All, >: > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >: >: Jo Theresa alt.tv.frasier FAQ: http://www.im-listening.net/FAQ/ Single-mindedness is all very well in cows or baboons; in an animal claiming to belong to the same species as Shakespeare it is simply disgraceful.

Mine gets from one side of the bed to the other by leaping from the floor to the middle of my stomach, then leaping from my stomach to the other side of the bed or the floor on that side. (OOF! OUCH!) > Regards and Purrs, > O J >> Hi All, >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >my stomach to the other side of the bed or the floor on that side. >(OOF! OUCH!) That's Sammy. At night, after I go to bed, she takes up her guard post at the patio door to observe the comings and goings at the outdoor food bowl. Whenever a neighborhood kitty has eaten their fill and leaves Sammy runs from window to window to keep said kitty in sight. Can't count the number of times she's come running from the living room, jumped onto the desk next to the ned, leaped from the desk to the middle of the hoomin lump in bed, then off the bed to the window. Course, once the kitty is out of sight, she has to reverse course and run back to the patio to see if that kitty has returned to the bowl or perhaps someone else has come a-visiting.

Why, when a >cat wants to cross from one side of your legs to the other while you >are lying in bed, is it necessary for them to step on each leg with >all four feet? Yes. The reactions from the slaves amuse them. Plus, it's a reminder of who's in charge. Consider yourself lucky. Felix has a talent for stepping on full bladders and knowing exactly when in the month those soft things on Mom's chest are really tender. I'm remembering one time when DH and I were watching TV in the bedroom, DH on the side next to the door. Felix came in to join us and decided he must be on Mom's side of the bed, requiring him to cross Dad to get there. I swear that cat deliberately pawed around to *find* his spot, then leaned about 14 lbs on an approximately 1 square inch paw on a VERY sensitive masculine portion of DH's anatomy. Oddly, DH did not find this as amusing as I did. ;-) Signature"Don't mess with major appliances unless you know what you are doing (or unless your life insurance policy is up-to-date)." - John, RCFL >O J <OJTB@pacbell.net> had some very interesting things to say about >Why?: [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >bladders and knowing exactly when in the month those soft things on >Mom's chest are really tender.

Those are two of the few things that'll get him either dumped off the bed or swatted, depending on just how much pain he just caused.

Oddly, DH did not find this as amusing as I did. ;-) Cinders did that to me last night, waking me up rather abruptly. I immediately turned onto my side to keep her from doing that again, so she curled up on my hip. Lately, she has been spending most of the night either asleep on my ankles, or asleep curled up against them. SignatureJohn F.

When I turn over on my side, Stinky just perches on my hip, too. I can't imagine it's comfortable, but seems OK with him.
