Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / December 2004Why does my cat fall down at my feet all the time?!
hi all, when my cat rubs on our legs wanting us to feed her, after a while of doing this, she drops to the floor and doesnt get off the floor until we walk to the kitchen, where she then gets up of the floor and hurries along behind us. does anyone know why she would do this? cheers sally. Your cat falls to the floor to show you that she is so hungry that she can't even stand up any more. Some cats let their eyes half close and they sway from side to side to show their hunger. -- Barb Of course I don't look busy, I did it right the first time. > Your cat falls to the floor to show you that she is so hungry that she can't > even stand up any more.

My cats must be famished, especially the really fat one who flops and shows her giant belly and gazes up at me with persuasive green eyes at dinner time! > Heh.

LOL, reminds me of Jasmine one day when I was vacuuming and she was on the other side of a piece of furniture... and I came very close to getting her tail. She was outta-there like greased lightening. Fast forward a couple of hours, and right after she galloped across the living room for all she was worth, I looked down and she was sitting and looking at me from the floor beside my chair. Then she held one paw up and looked pitable.... her timing was a bit off :) Some cats, if not all, are born drama queens :) Catherine K. > > Heh.

My Gnarly (RB 2001) loved to flip out if her dry food ran out. She begged and cried and then pretended to be so starved she could not keep her FACE out of the bowl for long enough to let me fill it. *Sheesh!* >Some cats, if not all, are born drama queens :) My first cat, in her later years, could wobble her eyes when she begged. She didn't beg much (had to be something special that she really wanted), so it always caught me off guard to see her looking like she was about to keel over. Of course, I handed over the food.

Ooo, now this cas deserved an aCATamee award. Har! :) What a darling! > > >Some cats, if not all, are born drama queens :) > > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Ooo, now this cas deserved an aCATamee award.

She certainly earned my BBQ pork. I have never seen another cat do it, and I wish I had a video of it, but I can still those eyes wobbling. It's a great memory to have of her. Can't wait to see what they will come up with next.

TAKE HER TO THE VET! Her gyroscopes have broken. You might want them to check the damping on her shock absorbers too, and maybe change the oil. S. > hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > does anyone know why she would do this? She's trying to tell you that she's so weak with hunger than she doesn't have the energy to stand. ;-) Priscilla P.S. She's lying. >She's trying to tell you that she's so weak with hunger than she doesn't >have the energy to stand. ;-) > >Priscilla > >P.S. She's lying. HA! That's Biskit. She twirls around my legs, looks toward the food bowl and flops down at my feet. Except now that she's fat, when she flops down, there's an audible "oof" sound. It sort of takes away from the "I'm starving, I'm so weak I can't stand anymore" routine. Sherry |
