My Cat is a Wombat

[Spidy]

Its cold, its windy, (verdy, verdy, vindy) its rainy, its not good cat weather, and yet she wants to go out the back, all of ten meters, (30 feet for you seppo's) from the front door (North, dry, comfy) and she complains, yes complains, (Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow) that I won't let her go outside, as I should because that door is in full front of the southerly. What up, Cato? Ignore, talk, bluster, go watch TV, what am I to do?

[GonzoTheGreat]

Open door, let cat change its mind (will happen fairly quickly, probably*), and the problem is solved.

* Or maybe not. In which case you should keep the door open until the cat does come back in.

[Mort]

Destroy the cat.

[Spidy]

Then said Cat must either have Alzeihemers, or some other memory malfunction coz I do that and then five minutes later she does the same thing again. I berate her too much already so I am trying to go softly, softly for a change.

[Gilshalos Sedai]

You really should fix the weather. What else are humans good for?

[Spidy]

I lost my Bowl O' the Winds so weather changing ability is curtailed at the moment. Hmm, perhaps she has been reading WoT and is expecting something to be done.

[Gilshalos Sedai]

I don't let my cats out. One is declawed, the other forgot to duck in a fight and can't see out one eye. But the dogs always insist I fix the weather when it's raining.

[Terez]

Go to the pet store and get a mouse or three for her to play with. :)

[Spidy]

Real ones?

[Terez]

Of course.

[Spidy]

She will let them go to catch later and they will escape and make little mousey holes in my walls.

[Terez]

What good is a cat with no predatory instinct? :confused:

[Spidy]

She's got em, just only for flies or cockroaches. Skeeters get free reign.

[Gilshalos Sedai]

That is a predatory instinct. She wants to hunt them, not have them handed to her. ;) Besides, a predatory instinct doesn't mean you're an effective hunter. ;)

[Spidy]

So is it that she justs wants to see what is out there and complains because I am preventing first hand experience?

[Gilshalos Sedai]

Yup.

[Brita]

Maybe there's a hunky tomcat out there- is she spayed?

[Spidy]

She is spayed. Used to get frisky with me and asked for a bit of action in the early days.

[Brita]

ewwww- cats are just wierd when they're in heat.

[Terez]

nah, cat's aren't...dogs are! ew!

[GonzoTheGreat]

Cats are just weird. That's part of their charm.

[Terez]

I often wonder what the kitty in my pic has his eyes on. A cockroach, maybe? :D

[GonzoTheGreat]

Perhaps the cat is just playing the piano. We've had two cats (brother and sister) who did that too. The male preferred to land as hard as possible on the bass keys, the female preferred more variation and occasionally walked around on the keyboard, trying to get the most pleasing sounds she could get out of it. She wasn't very good, but I think she played the piano better than I can.

[Terez]

I've seen cats play piano too, but this one's obviously concentrating on something else. :p

[Frenzy]

Anyone remember that Garfield special from years and year ago, with Garfield's Nine Lives? This is the one with the piano:
