"Just going to the Rest Room! Tra la la!"

[kathrynne]

It seems I always have at least one "bathroom kitty."

I know this very well.  And what makes cats so perverse about having to relieve themselves when you are a captive audience?

Cats are evil and have a nasty sense of humor. This is not bigotry or stereotyping, it is merely fact stated by a cat lover.  ;-)

That's true.  But most of mine have made up for it in affection.

Too true. I like nothing better than feeling I MUST stay in bed later than intended because there's a cat on my legs, another on my belly and one near my head, all purring their little hearts out.

It's the mornings we wake up with fresh scratches inflicted during the night, though, or paw-sized bruises because the cat we've nicknamed "Leadfoot" stomped all over us that we question things.  ;-)

I had a co-worker tell me he really needed to get off the phone & use the bathroom because he had a turtle head. 


...it doesn't make me laugh, for sure, but if i never hear the word epesiotomy again i might just die happy.

 

CRUD MONKEYS!

Never happen at my place; they insist I get up to feed them!

I had one of those ancient apartments for a while in college where none of the inside doors actually latched, and the first time my new roomie sat down on the toilet she screamed in surprise when my bathroom kitty pushed his way in and demanded her lap. Poor kitty just wanted to keep her company. 

Besides, nothing intrigues a cat more than a closed door.

I thought I was the only one with a bathroom buddy!  My MaineCoon prefers to flick her tail everywhere while she walks around my legs.  In self defense, I have to grab her tail as she walks by otherwise it goes where it shouldn't.

I think kitties who love us want us to never be lonely. I also understand about that big fluffy tail, oh my!

Our Egyptian Mau (Cleo, of course) is a heat leech who loves sleeping on the heat vent in the bathroom. This means every time I go in there I'm obliged to rub her belly and make her writhe. Gosh, I just hate this. 

Modified because ... I dunno what happened! It posted and pushed me back three or four page views!

our one little dog was a "heat sink" in front of the register in the living room.  We finially got one of those plastic thingies that snap on the register to deflect the air flow.  He got half and we got half.

We also have a bathroom kitty. You have to make sure the door latches or you get "help"

You have to lock my parent's German Shepperd out.  He can open doors with a levered handle.  But, he whines if you lock him out.

I've got one of those, too.  We have two blotched tabby sisters, and for some reason Daisy objects strenuously if I go into the bathroom without her permission.  She sits outside the closed door and fusses.  If I let her come in with me, she sits on the toilet seat and critiques my ensemble. 

[kathrynne]

I'm starting to get the feeling that "bathroom kitty" is redundant! This is too funny.

  I have two bathroom kitties. If I shut them out they cry. If I come home and have to hurry Kichi sits on the toilet and looks insulted when I push her off onto the floor (she only does this when getting to the toilet now! is an emergency.)

Koneko is also a bathtub kitty. If I take a bath I have two choices 1) shut the door and listen to both of them fuss or 2) let her lay on my chest while I soak. The problem with option 2 is she refuses to lay still! She has to keep getting up and walking on me with her boney little feet(can you say ouch!) and getting in between my face and my book (yes she is a pain but she's not made of glass and I can't read through her silly kitty butt.)

I love them but they make me crazy! and then of course they curl up next to me and purr or get so excited to see me come home and I fall in love again.

And of course I am sure They know that and being sweet is all part of their plan to take over the world (or at least my house.) 

Cat slaves of the world unite!

I have to point out here that we installed a kitty door on our master bedroom door before having any overnight guests. One kitty (22 pounds) barely fits through it, but it's an ideal solution otherwise.

DH and I joke all the time about the Feline Anti-Literacy Campaign. They don't want us humans to read. We might approach their intelligence levels and discover that the Earth really is an experiment set up by feline aliens from another planet. Douglas Adams had it almost right, he just used the wrong species.

I used to have a bathtub kitty, but I used to spend rather a lot of time in the tub. I did much of my writing there while in college. I'd prop a plank across the old-fashioned tub as my table to hold one of those antique Royal manual typewriters, paper, coffee, cigarettes and ashtray. I had to make room for Bathtub Kitty, who would sit on that plank and dangle the last three inches of his tail in the bathwater. Yes, it was weird, and a very long time ago.

Then came the day a roommate startled Bathtub Kitty. Kitty jolted and toppled the plank, sending the 50ish-pound typewriter onto my knee, the rest of the stuff into what was now a very messy tub, and poor frantic kitty into the water with me.

I don't declaw. Need I say more?

Nope I don't declaw either, although the culprit who startled my poor Kichi was her sister. Kichi was sitting on the edge of the tub "talking" to me when Koneko came into the bathroom (Koneko had been sleeping when I got in so she wasn't in the tub with me) and got jealous because she wasn't in the tub and her sister was sitting on the edge so Koneko pushed Kichi into the tub! I swear she put both of her front paws on Kichi and pushed her in! I had a very wet cat and scratches all over my legs (and other places) from my poor freaked out KichiKitty)

I'm sorry but both of those posts have me LMAO. Good thing i took the day off instead of reading it at work. I can't stop giggling.
