God, this cat is such a sissy.  I would be embarrassed to crawl behind the dishwasher and hide, but apparently it likes it back there.


All cats will find a "hide-y hole". It's where they feel safe, and they think no one will find them.
Probably some carryover genetic survival thing.

A couple of mine figured out how to get a hole in the cover of the bottom of the box springs on the bed in the guest bedroom. Took forever before I found that hiding place, and only did because I saw one go under the bed and disappear.  :thatsright:

Still a wimpy fraidy-cat.  WIMP!  Runs away from everything.

This is the third day in a row I've come home and found the cat sitting in my spot on the couch.  Purrrr.

Still need to take this thing to the vet, but I'm broke again.  I'll be glad when my raise shows up next month.

You never did say--or if you did, I missed it--male or female cat?

Well, I know it's an old-fashioned means of diagnosis, but it works.

Lift up the tail and look.

Yeah.  I'm pretty sure it's female.

I'd suggest "Fido," but that doesn't seem quite right for a femme feline.

Cat.

The first name varies... Silly Cat, Stupid Cat, Wimpy Cat.

I considered 'Clyde'.

That's strange. We're on our third dog, and they have all had different middle names, Addie, Missy and now Tara, but they all have had the same first first name. Dammit.  :-)

My cat loves sitting on top of the envelope of papers I got from Allstate.  Don't ask me why.  It's not like that extra 1/4-inch stack provides some superior vantage point.

Every day is a stride forward, chris.

Now you're calling the cat "my cat". Tomorrow, the cat will actually have a name and next week, the little bastard might even be purring while she's plotting your doom!  :rotf:

My new li'l buddy decided she likes to hang out with me when I lie down on the sofa to watch TV.  She'll park herself in the empty spot in front of me and block my view of the screen.

We're pals.

Jingles likes to bend curtain rods!!! This is the third one she has broke, not to mention she ripped the window shade to shreds!!
The reason is if she sees another cat outside the window, she goes ballistic trying to get to it. Sometimes at 4:00 am her and another cat will start a cat fight through the window..hissing, scratching the window.. :argh:

Should I be concerned that my cat runs head-first into objects and doesn't seem to mind?  In the last five hours, it has smacked it's head into the table leg, the wall, the oven, a metal chair leg, and the front door.

I think my cat is retarded.

Your cat's still pretty young, and new to life.

If it continues over a long time, I'd get concerned, but if it's just a transient phenomenon, I wouldn't worry about it.

You're probably right.  It doesn't do it as often as it used to.

When I brought it home, I caught it running into its reflection on a car bumper I have sitting in the living room.  I had to move it off the floor so the cat would stop.  It was pretty violent.

I'm not a cat person, but I do know younger cats will at times do some of the strangest things.

If it's something that's potentially destructive (to them), they need to be watched, but apparently one shouldn't get too concerned about it unless it happens for weeks and months.  Cats aren't bright animals, but they do learn.

I think the cat's just still in that "trying to discover" stage.

By the way, have you named her yet?

No.

Hell, I'm not even sure what gender this thing is yet.  Don't they remove all outer organs when they neuter/spay?  It has this funny ball or tuft underneath the tail above the anus.  I have no idea what it is.

It's only gotten to the point where it will let me touch it's stomach and legs.  I haven't tried to go digging around for more information.

They used to remove all the outside equipment, and some veterinarians still do, but for aesthetic purposes (?--that's the words used to me), nearly all the time they leave the outer superficial organ intact.

You may be lucky; it seems a good possibility you got a male.
