Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2004Just call him Pyro...
Oh dear, oh dear. It was my birthday yesterday and my present from Nathan was a rose-scented oil light. So this morning whilst I'm doing my beached whale impersonation in the bath, the room was filled with scent of roses, from the oil light. *Lovely* *Bliss*. The bath was a mountain of bubbles and me, and the air was filled with a glorious scent of sweet roses. Then the bathroom door was swatted open by a certain striped Psycho Cat From H*ll, who proceeded to leap up on the surface where the little oil light was. He sniffed it, to the accompanying sound of singed whiskers... with me frantically yelling, "No Marble! No!" This did not deter him, nor did the smell of burning. Next thing he parks his rear by the oil light & wisps of smoke rose from his fur immediately next to the light. In this split second I levitated out of the bath, grabbed Marble and danced nekkid round the room, with cat in hand, before dunking him in the bath. I am pleased I trimmed his claws two days ago. It would seem that as far as Marble is concerned, his bath was a much worse experience than his attempt at being a pyrotechnic (purrotechnic?) maniac. He's *never* been fascinated by fire like this before, as I frequently have candles about the place. Marble is none the worse for his ordeal - he merely singed his fur & whiskers. I, on the other hand, am in dire need of a large gin & tonic for medicinal purposes and am wondering what revenge will be had against me judging from the Feline Look Of Death that is being directed at me. Yet another example of why he is known as Psycho Cat From H*ll.... Now with the name "Pyro" added to the long list of names he has.

I'm just paranoid about > the cats getting stupid about them. I do love candles, and Oscar's never messed with them, even as a kitten. Of course, you don't need cat interference to get into trouble with candles. I got a neat multi-wick brick once, and it melted in such a way that the liquid wax overflowed and poured out onto the counter. It completely covered a video card, which immediately rendered the card useless -- I wasn't willing to risk trying to clean it up and then find melting wax dripping onto a computer's internals! I've gotten a little wiser about candle placement since then.  Signaturemonique, who is sometimes allowed to pet Oscar, a grey^H^H^H^Hblue-cream DLH with an attitude! > Oh dear, oh dear.

Persia gently bites my knee if I'm on the toilet with my jammy pants down or my nightgown hiked up. She's being loving, I know that, but it's most disconcerting at times! If I'm in the tub she tells me (endlessly) "Don't you know you're getting all wet? Get OUT of there!" I have a Pina Colada scented candle I light in there on occasion but Persia is more fascinated by the bubbles (not *bubbels*!) than by the candle. Jill >>>> Happy Birthday Helen!

She's being >loving, I know that, but it's most disconcerting at times! Stinky stands on his hind legs, leans his front paws on my knees, and give me a long look right in the face. Have no idea what that's all about, but it take me back, since he's done it since he couldn't reach my knees. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com >> Oh I understand that. Mine do too. They *have* to get in the bathroom if >> I'm in there. Thankfully all they do is stare. Eros apparently grew up without any boys at his previous owners'. The first few days we had him, Eric had to be awfully careful while in the bathroom, as Eros thought that Eric was providing him with a fountain for his amusement! Er, that's probably TMI. > If I'm in the tub she tells me (endlessly) "Don't you know you're getting > all wet? Get OUT of there!" As a kitten, Oscar did that while I showered, but she doesn't anymore. I rarely take baths, but when I do, she walks around the edge of the tub, clearly curious about the shiny water but unwilling to touch. I'm terrified that one of these days, she'll decide to jump in; I know that would quickly become an all-claws-out experience.

Felix will hop up on the edge of the tub to be petted, and grab a drink while he's there. He slipped and started to fall in once, and as far as I could tell, was trying very hard to keep claws *away* from me on his way back out.
