Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2008You have been a cat owner to long when....
Peter and I were watching TV and an advertisement came on for a local business that sells oriental rugs. They were advertising stair runners. Peter said that the runner would look nice on our stairs. Myf irst thought and comment was, it will give the cats more traction running up the stairs. 2 of our cats have longish fur and long fur on the bottom of their feet and they slip on the hardwood floors.

(Happened to me today). 2) You don't notice the cat fur all over your jumper and are particulalry oblivious to the white hair on the black suit... 3) You taste the kibble to see if it's chicken or fish, because one of the cats prefers chicken...

The cats will feel free to use all your furniture whatever the colour - but you'll have to remove the evidence less frequently if you have a black cat and black instead of white furniture. Unfortunately, when the late Mandy and Betsy were still around, I discovered a distinct lack of furniture in tabby/white/reddish combinations. Cheryl >>> 1) Your cat walks into the lounge, meows at you, you meow back and >>> then you realise you are actually on the phone to a BT customer rep.. [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Cheryl Yes, despite what I wrote, I no longer try to "color coordinate." I actually did that when I had a white cat and got light-colored furniture. As the years went by and colors of my cats changed, I just reverted to vacuuming more often -- or, often, with "living with it" and it doesn't bother me. I just want my furbabies by my side (or closer). MaryL >>>> 1) Your cat walks into the lounge, meows at you, you meow back and >>>> then you realise you are actually on the phone to a BT customer rep.. [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > MaryL I figured that, and I know your comment was tongue-in-cheek - but I couldn't imagine a cat NOT feeling free to use the furniture under ANY circumstances! And it's perfectly true that when I had those two tabby-tortie cats living with me, I wished I could have matching furniture and clothing! I swear they could shed fur in any colour any cat ever produced, and of course, they always seemed to shed their lighter fur on the darker objects and vice versa! Cheryl well the truth is with six, they see what we are wearing and the cat that most will show fur is the one that leaves the fur, Lee > >>> <leopardusweidii@yahoo.co.uk> wrote in message news:682d82ab-fd35-4cf4-82ce-332803a11b5a@q27g2000prf.googlegroups.com... > >>>> 1) Your cat walks into the lounge, meows at you, you meow back and > >>>> then you realise you are actually on the phone to a BT customer rep..

He doses up on antihistamines before coming, and I try to help by keeping a towel on the sofa and chair where my cats like to lie. I remove the towel and vacuum the furniture before he comes.

That was printed more or less tongue in cheek, although the humor seems to have been lost. I actually did get some light-colored furniture years ago when I had a white cat, and that's when I began joking about color coordinated furniture. As the years went by, I had cats of different colors -- and, no, I did not change furniture to match each of my cats. I just vacuum (shampoo, if needed) and enjoy the cats.

We don't have any stairs, but they love to be twirled on the bare floor in the kitchen and my bathroom. It's funny to watch them try and get 'traction' LOL Hug Kyla love yer site , BTW |
