Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2006My Grumpy Old Girl
Bandit, at sixteen, is meaner than ever if not as agile. She comes into my office, but can't quite manage a leap onto my lap. If I reach down to lift her up she growls, hisses and tries to bite my hand before she settles down in my lap to start purring. However, if I don't reach down and get her quickly enough, she marches around the room with a loud MMMMMMMMRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW - HISS/SPIT!

That's funny. :) My Boo is also very expressive. She wants to be right in the kitchen when I am cooking, and then my husband wants to know why there is *stuff* in her fur! So I gently shoo her and she digs in but eventually goes off, pausing at the doorway to throw me a HISSSSSSSSS over her shoulder. :) She also growls menacingly if she is comfortable on you and you move. She also hisses and slaps you with no claws if she is laying on or by you and you touch her tail by mistake. > "CatNipped" <lcrews@houston.rr.com> wrote : > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > tail > by mistake.

She's like me--you may not like what she has to say but you never have to wonder where you stand. : D >Bandit, at sixteen, is meaner than ever if not as agile.

Seemed to be much appreciated. Elisabet >>Bandit, at sixteen, is meaner than ever if not as agile.

There really isn't any other place she wants to get to besides my lap - the pile of pillows is her soft throne! ;> SignatureHugs, CatNipped See all my masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ >>Bandit, at sixteen, is meaner than ever if not as agile.

The ramp consisted of two 4" (approx 10 cm) wide pieces of pine board, connected by a hinge, and then lined with thin rubber to provide friction so she could climb it without slipping. We just put it over the side of the tub like an upside-down V. Tika liked to drink from the drippy faucet, and often would emerge with "wet head".

Here is a picture of Bandit on it... http://www.possibleplaces.com/CatNipped/Bandit6/cathouse1%20copy.jpg Hugs, CatNipped Boy, nice job on the kitty motel with ramp. They don't often build them for senior kitties. PatM My daughter and son-in-law custom made it for me especially for my elder girl.

Kitty FC is *dreadfully* grumpy most of the time but now and again she will creep up on my chest if I am relaxing on my armchair and start kneading, headbutting my face, purring up a storm and want to stay there for hours having a lovefest.
