Disgusting cat tales

Luan shared a post of cool cat quotes recently. I loved it!  It reminded of all the quirky things that cats do or have done in the past.

Now, put your chocolate down if you are munching whilst reading but one of my lovely, dear cats pooed on my bed when I was in it once.  Thankfully, that happened the one time only.

I had a family friend (she who supervised my sewing machine endeavours) who had a series of totally loopy of eccentric cats.  There was this one time when she awoke in the middle of the night and thought she'd had a stroke once, or polio or something, as she couldn't breathe or move. Then she discovered two cats were pinning the sheet down on her on either side and a third was lying heavily on her chest with its face in hers.  She couldn't move. It then proceeded to dribble down her nostrils. Again, she couldn't move with the combined weight of these cats. She said it was the most disgusting experience of her life! Imagine that- cat dribble down your nostrils.

The same cat, who was lying on her chest, was a particularly disgusting (but you couldn't help but love him) Burmese called Lenny. Or Loathsome Lenny as he fast became known.  On one occasion, she was working in the garden, kneeling down in the flower beds and looked up to be sprayed in the eye by his notorious tom.

I loved that cat-he dribbled on you like anyone's business but that purr and you always forgave him.  I attended his 18th birthday party. He had a bowl of chicken and wore a pearl necklace with silver fish hanging down.

Burmese and Siamese cats are always a little odd and very very vocal.  My friend Liz had a pair of Siamese cats.  When I used to phone her, we used to get constantly interrupted by large baby-like cries of "OOOOOOOOOOOOW!" all the time- that was her cat. When I went to stay there, we tried to watch a film and that dear cat, spent the whole film trying to get our attention by crying OW! I have honestly never heard anything like it!

Well, until I went on youtube to see if anyone had shared their Siamese cats meowing. It seems a common complaint.  Watch these,hilarious, especially the second video- I have not heard anything like THIS!







Ever tried outstaring a cat? Well, I did and won.  We had this grumpy (but oh so loving) tortoiseshell cat called Solstice.  One day, as I was lying in bed, she got up onto the bed, sat up and just stood staring at me.  Determined not to let her triumph, I stared back.  And so it continued.  Finally, she looked away first.  I smiled and laughed and then she swiped me in the face. She looked so cross that she had looked away, I could see it in her eyes.
