Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / August 2006I wasn't dreaming
The other morning before dawn I thought I heard Rusty's voice. But that couldn't be. He sleeps in his own room with the door closed. It is one of the few doors he can't open. His room is at the other end and I shouldn't be able to hear him. Then I drifted off to sleep, and heard the noise again. I sat up and sure enough, even without my glasses, I saw an orange furry thing moving on the floor. Turned out I didn't close the door of his room all the way, and left a small gap big enough for him to squeeze through. Another time I forgot to close his door, and he came into my room and jumped on me at 3 am. Woke me right up, almost screaming. Winnie Mischief likes to sit on the windowsill right above my head to sniff the outdoors. I can't tell you how many times she has jumped from the sill right onto my head (both when I'm asleep or just about to fall asleep) and scared the s*** out of me. A few times i think i cried out, but every times ended with a "Goddammit Missy!" Another time she was on the window and Mayhem was asleep on my pillow. Mischief jumped off the sill with the intention of jumping OVER Mayhem to the next pillow. Mayhem said "I don't think so BITCH!!!!" She growled and started swinging at Mischief, which forced Missy to alter her trajectory and land right on my head. So imagine you are nice and relaxed and about to fall asleep when suddenly you see something fly over your head, you hear a loud "REEEOOOOWWWW!!!!!!!!!!" and that something lands on your head, and runs across your body, followed by another screeching thing. I almost had a heart attack and it took me FOREVER to get back to sleep. Varmints.............. Kristi > Mischief likes to sit on the windowsill right above my head to sniff > the outdoors.

When Harri Roadcat and I were still working a few kinks out of our system, I got a few heart-stopping moments. The Freightliner Century has a rack/cabinet over the dashboard that stretch the entire width of the cab and is about a foot or so high and a couple feet deep. Harri used to love to sleep up there. After she had been quietly sleeping there for an hour or so I'd often forget when she was there. When she then decided to jump down onto my shoulder, it frequently startled me quite badly. That's not a good thing when you're driving a vehicle that's about 75 feet long and weighs 80000 pounds! After the first few times that she startled me and made me jump (which shocked her too) she figured out how to fix the startle problem. She began giving me her "Geronimo!" meow. If I heard a loud, authoritative "MEEEEOOOOOWWWW" from overhead I knew that a little fuzzy orange bomb was about to drop on my shoulder. > After the first few times that she startled me and made me jump (which > shocked her too) she figured out how to fix the startle problem.

Any new adventures? MLB > I loved reading about Harri. How is she now? Any new adventures? MLB No, she's gotten pretty used to the housecat life style. She's our bet huntress so far, having brought in a sparrow, a gopher, a couple of mice, and innumerable crickets and grasshoppers, and she is prefecting her Tough Girl Kitty image. However, I am thinking seriously that I might end up driving a truck again, maybe before the end of the year, providing I can find an opportunity that will allow me to avoid the problems I had with the last company. If so, then Harri will get a chance to be a Roadcat once again :) Dan > The other morning before dawn I thought I heard Rusty's voice. But > that couldn't be.

Woke me right up, almost screaming. Reminds me of when I was a teenager, sleeping at a friend's house in the spare bedroom. I wasn't used to cats. I was sound asleep when their cat, Stimpy, landed on the bed suddenly, making himself about as heavy as he possibly could. I think I actually did cry out. Now, of course, it's business as usual to have a cat thud onto the bed.

When I was a kid, our cat often jump on my feet when I was sleeping. I would wake up kicking around, dislodging the cat, who tried to hang on with claws out on the sheet. Other times she walked up to put her face close to mine. > Now, of course, it's business as usual to have a cat thud onto the > bed. Now my bedroom door is always closed, except when Rusty is in his room behind closed doors. So he can't jump on me or wake me up. When I fell asleep on the couch watching TV, sometimes he would jump on me. Not so much these days. Many times I woke up on the couch to find Rusty snoozing under the coffee table, or under the rocking chair. I would pick him up and put him in his room, and close the door before going to bed myself. Just like putting a kid to bed, excpet I don't kiss Rusty good night.

Must be cultural differences, as I usually kiss one or more of my kitties goodnight when I go to bed - can't do all of them as that would take all night :D Anyone else??? > ????? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Anyone else??? I kiss Caliban all the time, not just goodnight. Miranda doesn't like to have my face close to her; strange thing, Nikki was the same way. But Caliban will take kissies anytime, and he even gives me kisses back (touching his nose to my face). Actually, Mirmir is getting used to me sticking my face in her face, and she doesn't draw back like she used these days. Nikki also learned to accept it, though she never seemed to enjoy it like Frank. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

But he doesn't draw back either like before, he just lays his ears flat this way or that way, depending on where my face is. Laku OTOH is a head butter estraordinaire, and besides head butting also smooches his face against mine when he's feeling snuggly-purry.

And love to bury my face in her fur. I may need to knock it off, though. I've been noticing that the area around my mouth is itchy, and there are tiny pinprick bumps. Now that I think of it, when I was a kid I used to kiss my hamster, and had to stop for the same reason ...

When I see pictures of your kitties, I wonder how you can resist kissing them long enough to take the shot. Don't the pictures of Lizzie sleeping with her tongue out even make one momentarily consider *French kissing* a cat? :) > Must be cultural differences, as I usually kiss one or more of my > kitties goodnight when I go to bed - can't do all of them as that would > take all night :D > > Anyone else??? Oh, and I also often say, "bye bye crocdile, see you later alligator, kissy kissy". Funny, mom used to say that to us. And we always said it to my nephews when they were going home. So, I kiss them both when I am going to work and say that. Yes, I am the crazy cat woman.

Always! I love to kiss my kitties on their foreheads. Smudge puts up with it, Roxy enjoys it when she's being cuddly (and gives me nose kisses), and ironically, scaredy-cat Licky really likes being kissed!

You can kiss your kitty good night though. > Now my bedroom door is always closed, except when Rusty is in his room > behind closed [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > bed myself. Just > like putting a kid to bed, excpet I don't kiss Rusty good night. Why not? I kiss my kitties most of the time, but especially good night. Huey insists on Rob giving him night night kisses as well as good morning, afternoon, and I love you kisses. I get to kiss him after Rob is done. The only one I don't kiss on is Sonya, who really doesn't like anyone's face too close to her. Pam S. |
