Cat Forum / General Topics / April 2006Step Over Me
Sometimes Isis sits right at the edge of the carpet where the kitchen begins. She sits smack dab in the middle of the doorway from my living room to kitchen. This is my high traffic area. Of all the locations in the house this is the one where I walk the most. When she is there she expects me to step over her. She does not move. Do your guys' cats do the same thing? Do they sit in the most inconvenient place for you and then make you 'step over'? Mike in Illinois > Sometimes Isis sits right at the edge of the carpet where the kitchen > begins.

I think I perform satisfactorily in most areas of my training but I know there's always room for improvement. I still have some idea that I own the house but it's fading away.

That's the spirit, Mike! I really thing they cut us a lot of slack, understanding that we mean well, even though our performance falls below the flawlessly executed job that they know they deserve. Poor Celeste has had her tail stepped on a few times when I've failed to perfectly maneuver around her in the dark of night as she lies at the threshold of the bathroom door, yet she still gives me another chance, when I am least expecting her there, to get it right the next time.  SignatureDiana <http://personal.bellsouth.net/d/r/drdrive/hereiam.html> Well, Diana, your decision not to tie a flashlight to your arm does not reflect positively on you, I am thinking. I'm sure you could buy a nice pair of night goggles like the military uses, at minimum. http://www.aptec.com/ATAWeb/afotec.htm - see picture half way down the page For my part I've taken the small step of purchasing a new domain name, isisthecat.com, and will soon have pictures, movies, and graffiti published on the world wide web. I told Isis she now had her own domain name today and I'm pretty sure she acknowledged the fact. I should also add that I played French horn in high school, am involved in a lifetime e-mail chess tournament with a buddy in North Carolina, and loved Judy Collin's song, 'Whales'. (I think that was the name). And thus endeth this missive. Mike in Illinois >> I think I perform satisfactorily in most areas of my training but I know >> there's always room for improvement.

Mike I have a friend that is trying to make safe breakaway collars for my cats. They will have a glow in the dark factor, have flashing led lights on them and a light sensor. He is running into the weight factor and battery life same thing that the gps tracking collars people are running into. Maybe on day No more Mr.cat hiding in the shadows then getting stepped on when they are in your path. than scaring 10 years off your life with that certain squall they all have > Well, Diana, your decision not to tie a flashlight to your arm does not > reflect positively on you, I am thinking.

(I think that was the name). You're a kindred spirit. We cat people are way cool. > And thus endeth this missive. > > Mike in Illinois SignatureDiana <http://personal.bellsouth.net/d/r/drdrive/hereiam.html> Don't mind Matthew's reply. He's "special." We all tend to ignore him here. Matthew would have you begin a regimen of controlling your cat and bending her to your will. BAD advice!!! As soon as you "step around her right" she will stretch her legs and be under your feet again. There is no predicting with cats. They have their own wills. Just walk around her and keep your eye on her as you pass. You will both feel empowered and Nobody will get stepped on! :) >> Sometimes Isis sits right at the edge of the carpet where the kitchen >> begins.

Your kitchen begins at the edge of your carpet? That's nothing. Don't think you can get one over me, you insane wankstain. My bathroom begins at the middle of my sofa, and my master bedroom begins in the top-left corner of the bookcase. So f.ck YOU!!! > She sits smack dab in the middle of the doorway from my living > room to kitchen. This is my high traffic area. Of all the locations in > the house this is the one where I walk the most. > When she is there she expects me to step over her. She does not move. Really? I'll tell you one thing, matey, she'd move if it was *me* walking through the door. "Why", you ask? Simple. It's because I'd plant my steel-toecapped boot so far up her well-licked arse she'd choke on it. It's the only language they understand. > Do your guys' cats do the same thing? I don't have any "guys", so I can't comment. However, I know guys who have cats, but - strangely - they never seem to want to get in my way. > Do they sit in the most inconvenient place for you and then > make you 'step over'? Sit? No. The only time that happens is if they're dead, and they've landed in an inconvenient place simply because they've landed there after having been kicked from somewhere else. > Mike in Illinois Illinois? Should be f.cking obliterated. That'll solve the cat problems there. > Sometimes Isis sits right at the edge of the carpet where the kitchen > begins.

MLB > Sometimes Isis sits right at the edge of the carpet where the kitchen > begins. She sits smack dab in the middle of the doorway from my living room [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Mike in Illinois I'd say that's very normal. My Kimmy spent most of her waking moments sitting, actually hunkered down on a step on our staircase, necessitating that we step over her every time we went up or came down. Joan Kimmy must've been entertained the way Isis is. I'm glad we entertain our cats. I just paid about $340.00 for shots and annual medical exam and bloodtests and food and bathing and extra grooming. I do as much as I can to keep this 7 pound long-haired Tabby in comfort. If stepping over her every single time I want to go to the kitchen is part of the total package then I have no right to complain or grouse. It's time for me to take some pictures and put up a web page so others can see all the ways I've made her life a living paradise with no thought for my own comfort or security.

I'm going to purchase a domain name for Her Majesty and host her own web page. It's only another $50.00 a year which I am even embarrassed to mention because how much money is too much money for her welfare and glorification? IsistheQueen.com? HerMajestyIsis.com? IsistheCat.com? I'm going to mull this over, make a decision, and just do it! I want to post pictures (and movies) of her in her various meditative states. She meditates a lot! I'll pick a name tomorrow morning and welcome any suggestions.

So what's YOUR story, you sad f.ck?! Emotional problems? Massive depression? Inability to form human attachments? Impotent? Guilty homosexual? Look, mate - poison the cat, and get a f.cking life!!!
