Oh my.

Yet more reasons primitives should be barred by law from owning pets.

1. One of my cats is like that with my shoes.

And he likes to lick my hair whenever it's wet.

28. Max likes to lick my hair after I've had it cut/styled, I think he likes the flavor of the mousse or hair spray or maybe is interested at the new scent since I usually don't have any in my hair. If my hair is wet he will actually bite my head.

2. Sometimes my poodle mix, Corky, will spin and leap, spin and leap about a dozen times before he lays down to go to sleep at night. Since this happens between us on the bed, it's quite entertaining (and annoying!)

3. Kitteh now sleeps in the kitchen sink, if it's empty...

Moved on from the bathroom sink...

He also sticks his head all the way in my sneaker and then runs around bumping into stuff with it on.

4. my fat cat basically makes out with my sweetie's dirty shirts

not only does she do what yours does, she'll lie on her back, hook the shirt with a nail and drag the shirt across her face

she has never done that to anything of mine

9. That sounds exactly like what pickles is doing. She'll knead on it too

5. One of my cats steals socks.

He opens the dresser drawer where the socks are kept, rummages around and strews the contents of the drawer on the floor until he finds the socks he wants (the fuzzy ones, never regular socks), and carries them downstairs and plays with them until they get all damp with drool.

8. Clairebelly likes to groom me (face and hair) but only at the end of a long day; she's not interested if I'm squeaky clean. She also LOVES male armpits, again, though, must be stinky. If my husband comes in from yardwork or something, she's crazed to get to him before he showers. If she can't, she'll go bonkers over his t-shirt.

Bimbo likes to have her tail pulled, and to be pushed around in a shoebox (it's how we play "bumper cars").

Ivan, if he feels like letting you scratch his belly, does a sort of air-ballet with his front paws in happiness.

There are four others, but none are quite as odd...

12. My oldest kitty used to jump up and grab the chain for the hall light and turn it on, and I would always yell at the KIDS, until I actually caught the kitty in the act one night...

And our BabyCat rolls over and sits up on command before she gets fed, and she knows how to use the dimmer switch on the lights and will turn them down if she wants to nap on the cushion on the dining room chairs.

And they love stinky shoes.

15. I have to keep my underwear drawer shut

If I don't one of my cats jumps up and paws through it..flinging undergarments everywhere (mostly bras and socks) I have no clue why this is fun

16. They try to bite the earplugs out of my ears in the middle of the night. 

My husband snores like a freight train and I'm often up late reading after he's already gone to bed. So if I'm going to get any sleep I have to wear earplugs. Which the kitties have found on my nightstand and love to play with and eat. So I've taken to hiding them when I don't have them in. Well this week my husband was at a convention and I still had kitten's noses in my ears in the middle of the night despite not having earplugs. Very weird feeling having a cat trying to eat out your eardrum.

20. My cat puts socks in the litterbox

Ruby thinks the socks must smell like s#!t, so she puts them where they belong

21. Mine do that if I don't change the box as soon as they want. And since the washer and dryer are right there, it's pretty easy to find a stray sock or two.

30. I once had a rabbit who was in love with my fuzzy pink robe. If I was wearing the robe, and held him against me, he'd start, um, making love to it. It was funny and kinda gross at the same time.

What more can you expect from people who believe animals are on the same spiritual and intellectual level as mankind? 

[franksolich]

Well, I dunno.

There's a reason Abbie, Snow, Junior, Apricot, Floyd, Gordon, Harold, George, Ellie, and Leo are renown around here as competent, confident, comfortable cats--unlike with the primitives, they're not pets, they're not property, they're not toys, they're not "friends."

They're cats.

And so being treated this way, none of them have any neuroses or psychoses, like what the primitives give their cats and dogs and birds and goldfish.

About the "weirdest" thing any of these cats do, is that they have a liking for empty cardboard boxes.

Oreo does, too--even the boxes that those "Cabela's Special Edition" catalogs come in.  She's a member of the family, but she's not our daughter.  ("The Heiress" likes Oreo, too.)

Weird stuff your pets do. I'll go first and confess that my girl kitteh LOVES my bra, but only after it's been worn on a day when I was sweaty. (I mean she acts like it's catnip or something!! Rolls all over it and tries to jam it up her nostrils.)

Wrap your imagination around that vision.
10:1 GreenPartyVoter is a guy too.

I expected one of them to profess his love for his special friend and then get defended by fellow perverts.

Sigh.

They dissapoint these days.

The greedy primitive is a femme, married to a "fundie," and has "fundie" offspring.

Allegedly in a trailer house allegedly in Maine.
