Why does he just have to sleep east-west on the bed instead of north-south like a normal person (and he's a rather large critter) :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Also, why does he always jump in my lap for some lovin' when I'm on the tail end of a beer, rather than when I have a fresh one :confused::confused:

    my cats do this too.. I just move them North and South... and if they don't like it.. they jump off the bed and find their own place to crash.

    next time give the cat some beer :p

    Don't forget about 3 AM being the best time to play hockey with any plastic thing they can find, and/or having an extremely loud conversation with someone only they can see...
    But I love them anyway.

    How large is your cat? Mine has gotten absolutely gigantic. About 25 pounds, and he's not fat. He can sit on the floor, and see everything that's up on the couch, or grab things off the kitchen counter while standing on the floor. He can get in a LOT of trouble pretty easily.

    Luckily, he's pretty well behaved, even though he's still a kitten. (Turned 1 year old 2 weeks ago.)

    Man, my cat is so lazy he will make these terrible noises that sound like he is getting killed slowly with a rusty knife. I run to where he is, which is usually downstairs, and then he starts rubbing on me. Lazy **** wanted me to come downstairs and pick him up and give him a "free ride" back upstairs!! Oh well, he is the coolest cat around, and typically I hate cats, lol.

    My wife's two cats drive me nuts.

    Max doesn't sleep east west on the bed, he likes to sleep on my head. There is nothing like waking up in the middle of the night being suffocated by a big ball of fur. He also likes to chase ghosts in the middle of the night and is so dumb that he constantly eats plants and pukes them up in the one room in our house that has carpet (the rest is hardwood). A few weeks ago, he got into the courtyard and ate a Calla Lilly which can kill a cat. He spent the next hour puking. We even thought about taking him to the vet. . . Next thing we know, he was trying to eat it again. That cat will even try to eat fake plants. Dumb as a box of rocks!

    Sherlock has decided that he will no longer use a litter box to crap in. He has no problem using it to urinate, but has determined that the best place to crap is on the floor right in front of the litter box. We have changed boxes, litter, the whole nine yards. Nothing. . . I think he does it on purpose!

    You don't have a cat. You have a mountain lion! Seems that they rooked you at the pet store. Take it back!

    Sleeps on your head ?? That's pretty funny :D:D.

    My brother in law had a cat that slept AROUND his head - kinda like a big set of ear muffs - if you can picture that.

    Tyler doesn't get on my head but likes to jump up on my shoulders and drape himself around my neck. The little bugger rides me around the house like a rented mule :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Yeah, he has no shame! The cats were a package deal when I got married. But, back then they wanted no part of me, so it was much better. Now, they think I'm their personal pillow!

    For the most part I hate cats. I miss my buddy Mikes cat named Spaz. We used to give that cat such a hard time. I was over there almost every day and the cat would jump on my lap every time I'd sit down. I stayed away for a couple of weeks and he just meowed at me when I sat down. After a while I got up to use the bathroom, I'm walking by the couch and a catch a set of claws in the ankle as I walk by. After that he was fine. That cat could also jump about 9 ft in the air and get on the top of the cupboards, from the floor, in a single bound. He also had another cat (LB) that you could wad up a piece of paper and the cat would play fetch with you. When I was younger I would go to a horse "Farm" and the cats there would jump up on your neck and catch a free ride.

    Yeah... it's pretty painful when he jumps on your chest if you're lying on the couch. Not to mention (like all kittens) he's a huge attention ****.

    He also sleeps on his back. :confused:

    He does have pretty big teeth. I swear his canines are a good inch long. He's got wild animal thick fur and loose skin, i don't think anyone could kill him if they tried. And he's ridiculously fast. The whole "let's dangle a piece of string right out of the cat's reach" game doesn't really work with him. He WILL get that sucker, and he'll often just grab it with his teeth and go straight for the kill instead of just batting at it with his paws.

    I'm not sure what his deal is. Just a normal-looking male orange tabby, just easily twice the size. :D He's pretty awesome, though.
