The reason is that they can't sufficiently motivate a cat to be able to tell whether it's stupid or just doesn't care.<BR/><BR/>Sounds about right.Ann (bunnygirl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04938134750150653386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083286.post-84368694292496365692007-11-17T08:42:00.000-06:002007-11-17T08:42:00.000-06:00The Bag Lady has had cats all her life, and some o...The Bag Lady has had cats all her life, and some of them have had very strange habits, indeed. The current two are slightly inhibited by the dog who rules all our lives! <BR/>Cats tend to bond with one member of the household more than another, and it sounds as though Pix has bonded with you. <BR/><BR/>The youngest member of our household has decided that the Bag Lady is "his" human, so he is almost always close to her. Sleeps on her legs at night, sleeps on the chair behind her when she's wasting time on the computer, sits outside the shower door and watches intently (but no longer tries to climb the towel draped over the door - fast learner!)<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, the Bag Lady could be totally wrong and full of crap - who REALLY knows what goes on in the feline brain?!the Bag Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17434610508260994331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083286.post-22257486351317014122007-11-16T23:35:00.000-06:002007-11-16T23:35:00.000-06:00Dearest sweet little Bunnygirl!

I adore your Halloween photo of you and your little fluffhead bunny!! I hope you do not think me too ungracious of a kitty for taking such a long time to return your visit. You can only imagine how happy I was to see you come cheer me on while I was so very sick. Mommy was heartbroken and thought for sure I would not regain any of my spirit and was prepared for the worst. But I was worth a small miracle. With your purrrayers and some good medicine, I have regained my strength day by day. Mommy would not have made it through her worries about me without your comfort. Each night we keep you in our prayers and wish you endless Blessings this Thanksgiving season.<BR/>Love and hugs from our house to yours, Miss Peach and the mommy<BR/>who wants to rub your nice long earsMISS PEACH ~(^.^)~https://www.blogger.com/profile/09477572706387339613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083286.post-42908464738986724142007-11-16T16:46:00.000-06:002007-11-16T16:46:00.000-06:00Pixel is a gray cat with a white tip on his tail. ...Pixel is a gray cat with a white tip on his tail.

There I'd be sitting on the pot and she'd bash the door open if it hadn't latched and jump onto the sink. She'd glare at me until I turned the water on and then she'd stick her paws in it and splash me. It's because of 'Mantha that the term "bathroom buddy" was coined at our house.Virginia Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10493643681622551814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083286.post-5927759308816630302007-11-15T01:44:00.000-06:002007-11-15T01:44:00.000-06:00and yes, Marilyn hates watur but I love love LOVE ...and yes, Marilyn hates watur but I love love LOVE it!
