Does your Cat insult you?
My Cat goes to the bathroom every time that I go (Yes, I know that is real cute). He will not go in the litter pan if he has even one poo in it or if you have just taken a poo yourself and he smells it.

The first thing that my little boy does is sniff the bathroom and if it stinks he will run out. He is a very unusual cat and he is very particular about his potty habits.

If my other cat has taken a poo he will not enter the litter pan until the litter has been changed. I use scoopable litter and two pans but this little spoiled rotten guy refuses to go potty when he smells something that doesn't belong to him.

He is a chatterbox also and he is constantly complaining. The mother Cat was from Russia and she was a Cream Persian but he is a Red Tabby Persian and he is the size of a 6 month old kitten.

What can I say I love my two boys. The other guy was a rescue and he is an Albino Turkish Angora who will take a dump in this little guys litter pan just to aggravate him.

1. YES
My cat Clancy (all black pound kitty) has always been a bit stand-offish - unless my boyfriend Tombo is around. For example, if I'm sitting on the couch with Tom, Clancy tramples all over me to get to Tom and then grovels to him in a shameless fashion. He will even try to follow Tom into the bathroom which he NEVER does with me. Tom claims it's all because he "gives good scratch". Whatever. :o

3. I found my little guy sitting in the corner of my couch
Chatting away I don't know what he was saying but he was sitting up like a kid meowing and he is only 2 years old so I don't think that he is senile.

"Gives good scratch" now that is cute!

5. And Shakespeare coined so damned many words.
Your sig line is so great, Shakespeare. I would say which play "words, words, words" is from with certainty (think it is Hamlet) though I need to brush up my Shakespeare, so they'll all kowtow!

7. My boy Antioch said to me....
"Pops (that's his name for me)I was tinken."
"Really, Antioch? What were you thinking about?"
"I was tinken about words"
"REALLY? YOU were thinking about WORDS?"
"Yeah, don't patronize me, I can tink about stuff like dat"
"OK, Antioch, don't get your empty scrotum in an uproar. Tell me what you were thinking."
'
"I was wondering about the words Pops and poops. How comeTHEY GOT THE SAME LETTERS!?!?!?!"
Then Phoenecia (Antioch's sister) said, "Boys are SOOOOO dumb!!! I know why the words Pops and poops have the same letters."
"OK, why?"
"'member when we first went to live with Popsie (She can sass me like that because she's so pretty and she knows it she can get away with it), and the big cats were soooo mean and they hissed at us and frapped us?"
"Yeah"
"And Popsie made us stay in the little-bitty room, and he would come in and sit down and all of a sudden it would get REAL stinky? Well, he was going poop, and that's why Pops and poops have the same letters"

11. What a relief. I thought I was the only one
with talking cats.

Two of ours like to jump into our slacks/jeans/sweats while we're on the can. They get in there and curl up instantly, purring like a mofo. It's hilarious.

12. My cat Harlon used to go in my bathtub
When he was younger he would shit in my shower. When I came home from work I could smell it:( He only does it now when he's sick to let us know it's time to go to the vet.

13. When my cat gets mad at me she swears.
It sounds like a bunch of meows, but the tone makes it clear she's swearing at me.

14. If your cat doesn't insult you, it must be mutant.
Cats, as a general rule, must insult humans daily just to get their share of "cattitude" for the next day.

Yaks, on the other hand, haven't figured this out yet. Neither, at last word, have hamsters.

16. Does staring when you clean out the litter box count?
Cause mine do...as if to say (in the words of a comedian I saw)..."you are my bitch"

17. what cat doesn't insult their humans?
to them we are stinking, oaffish neanderthals. My lil' cat, Monkey, will 'bark' at me when she wants attention, food or the window with the ledge opened. But I know she loves me.

18. I have never had a cat insult me.
They act just like dogs almost when I come home. They run to me when they see me. They come when I call them too, surprisingly.

19. They don't ever look at you sideways and twitch their tail?
That's a sign of problems to come. I know it. I've seen it.

Mine is a good cat, but he got upset for god knows what reason. He hasn't told me. Why pull down the dining room curtains and pee on them? Why?

22. Abbie is good to me
Horny as hell but he's a sweetie. We'll get that problem taken care of in 2 weeks though.

Thank goodness Abbie does NOT have the litter box issue. I once went 3 days without cleaning it just to see how long he would keep using it (in case I have to go away for a weekend) and he was fine, but normally his box gets cleaned out first thing every morning. And boy can he fill up a bag. I have gallon sized ziploc bags from the dollar store and I'm amazed at how much I clean out of the box each morning :eyes:

Weirdest thing my cat does - when I go to the bathroom Abbie likes to watch me. :shrug:

23. My cats find me endlessly fascinating
I must be followed everywhere and watched to see what new, interesting thing I'm going to do. I can't even go to the bathroom by myself. One of them does something that's kind of insulting, though - he refuses to get on me but just sits by me, facing away, with his rear end almost touching me.

24. No cats, but my parrotlet Olive laughs at me
She has a very distinct laugh. It's not really a mimic of a human laugh (although it may have started out as an attempt to do so). She used to only do it when we laughed, but now I think she finds things funny on her own.

Like when I drop things, or stub my toe and begin swearing or something. Oh, Olive finds that very funny. (Course that cracks me right up after that...)

25. I have one who condescends a lot
My cat Irony---yes, a heavy name, but a cat can deal with it---is a dark gray masterpiece of creation, and treats me like a servant, which is better treatment than he gives other humans. He's very clever and gives so many cues, you'd think I needed them. When I ask him what he wants he's like a mime, he'll go to his dish and pretend to eat when nothing's there, or drink when his water's gone, or go to the door and crouch and shiver like there's a mouse on the other side. Or if I ask, "Want out?" he'll reply, "ou'" in a falling tone as a human might say, "duhhhh." I often get the feeling he thinks I need extra help. I'm not slow, just passive aggressive sometimes.

26. My cats adore me.
They don't concern themselves with my bathroom habits and I don't concern myself with more of theirs than I have to.
