Now PONG has done it!

Poor KitKat is not too happy with me, I'm giving her antibiotics twice a day, bad scratch on her nose. Ironically, it happened AFTER all the cats had their claws trimmed. I had a cat, Little Bit, who used to launch himself into my arms. Now that cat knew how to shmuse!!!

Hurrah for Pong! We've had workmen in and out of the house all week. Our cat, Sleepy, has been very good. For the most part, he has stayed out of their way and has never even offered to go outside. FYI: The shower door on the bath in the master bedroom was broken, and we also had a terrible time with mildew there. That bathroom had to be completely redone. After the old shower was torn out, we found out that the reason that we had mildew was because there was a leak in the drain. Everything in that bathroom will be new, but the bathroom that I use only gets a new paint job.

aww!:) it's been a long time since i had one that did that. new..um..not really.except my last rescue is finally becoming more social. she walks the house asking "questions" all day now..meow everything lol she is actually starting to get heavy..no starving waif anymore there..

hi elicBxn good for Pong so he is smart too, and just wanted a big petting like Ping. You have such fun with all your cats and I could have one but I would be charged an extra hundred 'dollars a month on the rent. If I had that much I would do it of course. Nothing new or exciting here today. we played bingo but we do that a lot. But there's no bad news either'and I just mailed my two bills, so now I only have twelve dollars left but I am not in debt. lol lol lol.

GOOD for Pong. I wish there was a way for your cats to know how lucky they are to have u for a mama.

Good for Pong! My new Tuxedo kitten learned today that he can launch himself from the counter onto my head (I am only 5 feet tall). Since I had my back to him at the time, I was kind of startled, to say the least. Not sure how I feel about this trick, especially since he landed with his claws digging into my scalp. Well, it beats his last trick--climbing up your back while you are sitting down. This one is particularly pleasant when you are only wearing a bathing suit. . .!

Elic that is great Se they never cease to amaze us do they lol Well we have Zero here and the 2 are getting on great, he is not bugging Gissi lol I have taught him 'how do you do' ok I hold my Hand out to him and say How do you do and places his paw in my Hand lol, so we can't wait to show his Mum the new Trick

I can just picture this happening. I guess this is the origin of the word "copy cat"? He could be copying a lot worse things.

The other day and once before, several months ago, Banjo jumped up at me and used his claws to hang on above my waist. It seemed to me to be an act of aggression, either that or desperation to go outside but both times, he was several hours off his going outside time which is nightfall. Usually if he wants something it's when I'm sitting at the computer and he comes and rolls around in front of me and sprawls out for a cuddle but he sometimes he wants more food. These jumping episodes have taken me by surprise both times...what are your thoughts? He used to sit in my lap quite happily and was happy for me to hold him till one day a neighbour was visiting. We sat out on the front patio having coffee and Ben picked Banjo up and Banjo struggled to get away and Ben held on more tightly. Ever since then Banjo has not wanted to be held. I'm a bit at a loss as to what to make of this behaviour. When he's jumped at me, his eyes have been wide open and he has meowed loudly as he jumps...does he want me to catch him? Why else would he do this, any clues??

Harmony's taken up flying... to the top of the refrigerator! As if it isn't hot enough outside! For a while there she would sit on the back of the vacuum cleaner (like those hallowe'en witches cats do on their brooms). I told her it wasn't going anywhere. I just don't know what I'm going to do with that girl.

Clever Pong! I wish my Hewy would do that! He stays in my arms when I pick him up in the evenings and we watch TV together but he will not jump on my lap when I’m sitting down let alone when I’m on my feet! My other cat had a couple of breakthroughs this year. She was an abused cat when we rescued her and consequently has been very timid. Lately she has been approaching me and let me pat her and she no longer hides when the door bell rings!

Congratulations on getting Pong to do the trick! I never had a cat that would jump up, but I did have one that would climb up. Luckily, I never wore dresses and rarely shorts. That would have hurt quite a bit if I had. When he got older an heavier he quit climbing . Then he would just stand on his back legs and I would pick him up. He did that quite often as he never thought he was getting enough attention.
