myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277) 3 years ago

well most of you know that i have a couple of cats, one is Max who is ginger and white, and the other is Lottie who is pure black, WELL, she has her place on the window ledge and loves to spend her time sitting there looking out of the window, Max has just come in for his feed and usually Lottie follows him seconds later, but she didn't, so i assumed that she was sitting on the window ledge, so i draws the curtain back and i saw a black object on the ledge, so i calls her, but she didn't move, i calls her again, still nothing, after a couple of times i decided to leave her coz she may be asleep, so a few moments later i draws the curtain back further and guess what i saw? LMAO...a black plastic bin liner that i kept the easter eggs in the other day...HAHAHA..lol..ok so i am losing it, so there i am talking to a black plastic bin liner, and in trots Lottie....now i feel VERY silly....LOL....lollol has anyone ever done that before? lol...i do feel very silly indeed...

I have often made the mistake of thinking one of my cats was sitting outside the kitchen door waiting to come in. I've opened the door for him only to find that it is a pair of wellie boots. There is obscured glass in the door, so I suppose that is some excuse!


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  3 years ago

lol wellie boots...lol...well i have the small lamp on in the living room so i cannot see very much behind the curtain, i really thought it was my cat all curled up...lol....but nope...i was talking to a black bin liner...duh me....doh whistle

Hi tatt,


It can happen so easiley, I think that was so funny, same sort of thing happened to me, I have a small stool in my kitchen area and my Tom cat always sits there watching me work and one night I was making my hubbys' sandwiches for wwork and I was chattering away to him and asked him if he wanted a bit of ham, I turned around with a piece of ham in my hand to give it to him, but I got a shock, it was a pair of hubby's brown shoes on the stool, my hubby put it there for some reason and I thought it was my cat, so I was talking to a pair of shoes while Tom was sitting on the staires looking at me thinking I have gone mad, lol!!. Love and hugs.


Tamara

LOL, that's so funny tamara, talking to a pair of shoes....lol...i thought i was nits till i read this...hahaha....lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. Aliceinwebland (5358)  3 years ago

ROFL that's brilliant Tamara, thanx for sharing, I got tears of laughter reading that. It's bad enough seeing things, but talking to them too! lol


myLot reputation of 93/100. hornetlover (2633)  3 years ago

Hahaha... that's funny, Tamaralol

I wonder what has your tom thought of you that moment? or he may say "Shocks! I missed that ham!!"lol

Mostly I mistake one cat for another, in fact, Nef and Scamp are so much alike that even I have to look carefully at them to tell them apart - much less the roomie with her bad vision.

if Nef would wear a collar, she'd have one on, but she's ditches them as fast as we put them on her, and I don't want to put a collar on Scamp

And, we have Ping and Pong, and Ping wears a collar


myLot reputation of 97/100. faeryoftheshire1 (216)   ranked 995 out of 5,816 in cats  3 years ago

LOL ...Oh my..that used to happen to me when I had my ferrets!Many times I would mistake one for a plastic bag one time I freaked out thinking I stepped on my ferret but it was an article of clothing my room mates at the time thought I was going crazy,hahahaha!But sometimes out of the corner of your eye or if your slightly off focus it is easy to make that mistake!


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (24681)   ranked 2 out of 5,816 in cats  3 years ago

I don't have any pix of Scamp and Nef together, but I do of Ping and Pong...



myLot reputation of 99/100. GardenGerty (35334)   ranked 20 out of 5,816 in cats  3 years ago

Slightly off focus seems to be the operative phrase here. We see what we are accustomed to seeing and do not focus on it clearly. It is funny when we think about it.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (24681)   ranked 2 out of 5,816 in cats  3 years ago

the pix is outta focus? well heck, the blind chick took the pix


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  3 years ago

my cats are the same elic, i cannot get them to wear a collar, no sooner have i put it in them, they get rid straight away, s i don't bother any more, unless they are flea collars, but then again, they get rif of them too...sad


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  3 years ago

faery, sometimes i mistake objecs as my cats and dodge them so i don't stand on them, i am always thinking that my slippers are Max, they are about the same colour as him....lol....happyhappy i have even stroked them thinking that they are him....duh me....lol....lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (24681)   ranked 2 out of 5,816 in cats  3 years ago

Reguarding flea collars, they aren't really safe, so your cats are actually doing a good thing for themselves by slipping them. Far better to go with one of the topical spots like Advantage, Frontline or the other one that I can't remember the name of...

Remember, Advantix is for dogs only, dangerous for cats.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Aliceinwebland (5358)  3 years ago

hahaha it used to happen to me with my sisters


myLot reputation of 93/100. hornetlover (2633)  3 years ago

Elic, I always love your Ping and Ponghappy they reminds me of Georgia happy

I have not necessarily talked to a bin liner, but I have talked to other things, thinking that they were cats.I know you felt really silly and Lottie is probably rubbing it in in a sly black kitty way, giving you that kitty cat grin and smirk.


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  3 years ago

lol, she prolly was, the naughty little minx....i did feel a bit daft but i have done sillier things in the past....lol...lol

Hi, tattylashes! No, I have never done this before. I don't have a cat. But, I am sure that I have gotten something mixed up with something else. I know with my daughter, I was giving her, her pacifer and I end up putting it in my three year old mouth. And I was looking at my daughter, like why is she not sucking it. Then I realized that it was not my one year old daughter, but my three year old.lol So, yes, I have made a few mistakes along the way when it comes to getting something mixed up. I know that it was hilarious to see your cat trot in when you thought that it was her on the window ledge. That is okay. We all have out times of getting things a little off. Perfectly normal! It is great that you could have a laugh with your cat.happy


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  3 years ago

lol and i thought i was the only one who did things like that, lol, here i was stood there talking to a bin liner....what ever next....lol....lol

HAHAHAHAH, omg, hee hee, don't worry...it happens..I do have my silly moments like you too...But unfortunately, my silly moments sort of happen ALL THE TIME...lol..or maybe it's just me that was intentionally being silly...who cares, such things are needed in life so that it'll give you at least SOMETHING to laugh about if you haven't laughed for a long time..haha *wink.


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  3 years ago

yeah it is quite funny now i think about it....here's me talking to a black bin liner and here comes lottie smooshing against my ankle...hahaha....i feel daft but it is funny to think about....lol....lollollol

ROFLMAO lol

aww tatty you make me laugh so much. I do silly things like that too and I'm glad there's nobody around to see it. I could swear I see insects moving on the carpet, I have to get up and look and it's usually a bit of fluff or something on the floor! blink that'll teach me to vacuum more often.


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  3 years ago

oh i dumped all my carpets ages ago and got wooden floors, the time it has saved me hoovering, them floors are a god send....as for talking to a black bin liner, that's a first...LOL....lol

lolThat is funny. I can see how that could happen. You see something and assume it is one thing and it turns out not to be that thing at all... shows how much we really pay attention to what we are actually looking at. For me, I don't see that well far away, and I can't see anything without my glasses... I would not be able to recognize anything without my glasses.


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  3 years ago

well i have a small window ledge behind the curtain and it is pretty dark so i really thought that it was lottie till she came trotting in through the back door....guess who felt like a right numpty....lol....shocked
