Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2008Twirling
Does anyone have a crazy cat like Maui? He goes into the kitchen when he's bored and merrrrowwsssss. (Siamese yowlees). He wants me to come in there where as he plops on his side and wants to be twirled. That's taking my hand, place it sideways on his belly and spin him in circles. He loves it!! Even when he gets dizzy. He lays there afterwards and yowls for more even!! If I don't go in there and do this, he jumps on the counters and knocks things off!!

Tuffy would also curl up in the round laundry basket so we could twirl him around. He'd get so dizzy his head would wobble, so we'd wait for it to stop, but he'd wait for us to do it again and again. We'd tire of the game before he did. Whenever he spotted the laundry basket, that was it, he'd jump in. Bobble O T Mahoney does this. The faster the girls spin him, the happier he is. I have some of that wood snap together floor that is extremely slick and he spins well on it! > Does anyone have a crazy cat like Maui? He goes into the kitchen when > he's bored and merrrrowwsssss.

Caliban does > not like rough-housing. He has no sense of humour. Isn't that funny? Poor Caliban, he has no sense of humor? He's a walking comedy routine! Which makes it even funnier. My little Mimi (RB) was as dignified and prim as it gets. She looked exactly like a tiny nun in a habit: http://pets.webshots.com/photo/1203810491054217802iBNZxa But she LOVED getting "beat up" as you put it. She loved being handled very firmly, and stroked the "wrong" way. She loved getting wrapped up in a towel and rubbed down. Every night, she would jump on my mother's bed for her "Nightly Beating," a very vigorous rubdown, with a lot of ear and tail pulling.

The funny thing is, when I first got Miranda, I saw her as this delicate little flower that I was afraid to crush, so I was very gentle with her. She was well over 1 year old before I realised she actually liked a bit of rough handling. Now she demands it many times a day. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

She was a tiny cat, spent most of her life between 4 and 6 pounds soaking wet. And she seemed like such a shy girl when I brought her home. She immediately hid under the bed, and I was able to lure her out with lasagne. ;) That was why I named her Mimi-- she first reminded me of Mimi in "La Boheme"-- she seemed like a shy, timid girl. She always held herself with dignity, but she was a terror. ;) She gave dirty looks from hell. She loved to scamper all over the house, and walk upside down under the furniture. She got a huge kick out of "curiously" checking out guests who were afraid of cats. ;) She owned everything and everyone. AND she had that little nun's habit.

I'm thinking of that photo of him from the island stomping around with a blade of grass in his mouth, looking like some guy chomping on a cigar. :) > The funny thing is, when I first got Miranda, > I saw her as this delicate little flower that I was afraid to crush, so > I was very gentle with her.

Roxy loves to get "spanked" on the fatty part of her flank, and the harder I hit, the more she enjoys it. A friend of mine had a cat who loved this, also, and he even had some sort of device to give her a big wallop on the flank - a spring with a ball on the end. He called it "thumping". I just call it what it is: spanking. :) Joyce SignatureTo send email to this address, remove the triple-X from my user name. >>> Does anyone have a crazy cat like Maui?

Mine goes to the spot where a certain activity takes place, then sits and waits, looking at us. When the desired activity begins, the purring and facial expression says it all.

I don't twirl them on the floor (though after reading your post, I might try), but Roxy *loves* getting rides in the laundry basket, or any basket or bag. I don't spin around, as that would make *me* dizzy, but I do swing her from side to side, very high up on either end, and very fast. She absolutely loves it. I have to do it twice, minimum. She also loves being spun around on my office chair. When Licky first came here, he saw Roxy getting these rides, and decided he wanted in on the action. So now he gets rides on the chair and in the laundry basket, too, though not as often as Roxy. Smudge is definitely not interested!

He wants me to come in [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Had to share!! :) That's a new one for me, but my kitties have had all kinds of eccentricities. Dante sits in one of his boxes, and once I lifted the box up with him in it and took him for a little ride. ;) I confess, I only did this to mess with him-- oh admit, it, you all like to mess with your cats sometimes. ;) But he loved it, the little screwball. Now I have to do it all the time, and he is not a lightweight. :P Stinky has always liked to spin on the computer chair. All my cats have loved having their tails pulled. That took some getting used to for me, since when I was about three, I grabbed a cat's tail (poor thing, he was otherwise very tolerant of a toddler's maraudings), and he scratched me. Obviously, that didn't scar me for life. ;) SignatureTheresa, Stinky and Dante drtmuirATearthlink.net "Kreisleriana" > > "~*LiveLoveLaugh*~" >> Does anyone have a crazy cat like Maui?

He also likes to be twirled on the kitchen floor. And he likes to have his tail pulled too. And they all like to chase the laser pointer dot up and down the hall. It's fun to try and make them 'dance' by following the 'dot'. I'm careful not to get the laser in their eyes tho. That way, they get their excercise. Kyla > Does anyone have a crazy cat like Maui?

He climbs into tote bags and makes just enough noise that he gets noticed and then one of us will give him a tote bag ride. Merlin and Huey adore my office chair. They will take running leaps into the chair and set it off spinning. They both seem to prefer clockwise motion rather than counter clockwise, and look up at me as if they are urging me on when I get up from the chair and let one of them on for a ride. Pam S. > Not around on the floor, but Qui Gun Kit loves to be bagged and carried. OH, the memories! Belle (RB at almost 22, and my first real cat-to-be-a-slave-to) LOVED to play cat-inna-bag. She would climb into a paper grocery bag I left on it's side, and then I'd grab the top of the bag, hold it tightly closed and swing her (fairly gently) back and forth, singsonging "cat inna bag! cat inna bag!" Then I'd set the bag back down and she'd come out...and go back in again in a little bit to do it again. I miss Belle. None of the other cats "get" cat-inna-bag, although many of them like to play in and around paper bags. <sigh> Deborah slave to the gang of eight >> Does anyone have a crazy cat like Maui?

SignatureTheresa, Stinky and Dante drtmuirATearthlink.net > Sounds like you're running a kitty amusement park. It seems like it at times. Mostly they amuse themselves, but sometimes they insist that Ma and PaRob take a hand. Speedy gets involved with tag, hide the kitty, and death from above. We just watch and try not to embarrass them. Pam S. > Not around on the floor, but Qui Gun Kit loves to be bagged and carried. > He climbs into tote bags and makes just enough noise that he gets noticed > and then one of us will give him a tote bag ride. Tote bags are the best. Roxy likes to get rides in my laundry basket, so I oblige her, but it's hard on my back. She would be perfectly happy to ride in a paper bag, but I don't trust the handles. If I were swinging her around hard and they broke, she'd go flying into the wall or furniture, or whatever. Tote bags are much stronger, but they're kind of limp when not in use, so I don't think it occurs to Roxy that they're actually *bags*. However, several weeks ago a friend was visiting who had a "structured" canvas tote bag, ie, it was sewn in such a way that it maintained its shape and stood up on its own, when not in use. This bag was sitting on the floor empty while my friend was visiting, and Roxy considered that an invitation to jump in. It was perfect. The bag was box-shaped, so Roxy enjoyed sitting inside it. It was made of sturdy canvas, with handles I trusted not to break, so I could swing her around without worrying about disaster. And, it not being shaped like a laundry basket, I could swing it back-and-forth, ie, front to back between my legs, which is much easier on my back. The night my friend brought that bag over was the same night she brought her camera, to take pictures of Everett. So I got some photos of Roxy inside the Magic Tote Bag: The bag: http://www.sonic.net/~jwermont/cats/everett/everett_sniffs_bag.jpg Roxy in bag: http://www.sonic.net/~jwermont/cats/everett/giving_the_ear.jpg More Roxy in bag: http://www.sonic.net/~jwermont/cats/everett/roxy_dirty_look.jpg Final Roxy in bag: http://www.sonic.net/~jwermont/cats/everett/roxy_dirty_look2.jpg Oops, I Lied, This Is the Final Roxy in bag: http://www.sonic.net/~jwermont/cats/everett/three_cats2.jpg I've gotta get one of these!

We have several from our local Books a Million for various prizes (like for renewing our discount card) ad they are wonderful. Stiff canvas sides long and just wide enough to be comfortable with snugness for security. Qui Gun Kit thinks that they are gifts from Bast and insists that they belong to cat.
