I need to make some room and organize things. I made a quick proto type Idea, out of some scrap wood, of a computer rack, stack both computers to see if that is what I want to do before I buysome channel iron and make it permanent. Good luck with that . ![](http://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/art/emoticons/rolleyes.gif).

The cat thought it made a better bunk bed for him. So much for my idea.

Back to the drawing board.

You mean everything is NOT made for cats? :blink: :woot: :blink:

That is just too cute, thanks for sharing! My cats would do the same.

My cats are also addicted to PC's.

They've accidenatlly sent emails by playing with the mouse or laying on the keyboard.
They leap from monitors to monitor on my desk about 3ft apart.
They like sitting on montors or the TV and dangling tails over the screens.

K4 will climb inside a PC case if I'm working on a machine - when it's powered up and try to catch the fan.

Though I'll give him his due - I spent 2 days working on a laptop trying to get the sound back with no success. while telling the rather angry large guy that his ultra expenise was kn****ed.
K4 sat on and it proceeded to wash his unmentionables, at which point it sprang into life with the windows TADDA sound!!

BUT WE LOVE THEM.

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.

One of mine alks across the desk and sits right in front of the keyboard, demanding that I give some attention to him.

Mine rub my legs, head-butt me, and meow insistently.

One of them became fascinated with a moving youtube video that I was watching about a week ago. She stared, walked across the keyboard, sniffed at the screen, and looked like she was going to start batting at my LCD monitor, no doubt with her claws unsheathed -- so I decided that it was time to gently relocate the cat to the floor.

"Nice kitty. No scratching the living hell out of daddy as he relocates you is a bad thing, okay?"

Comitted to excellence through art.

If she was about 5 times the size that she is, and of a very different temperament than what she is -- then I might be concerned about the possibility.

Admittedly -- if they were big enough, then we'd be prey to them.

There was an old cartoon character called Krazy Kat, IIRC.

One of our cats is terrified of thunderstorms. The other cat doesn't even seem to notice the sound of thunder, and doesn't care about it. But on the other hand, the cat that's not afraid of the thunder is terrified by the sound of the tea kettle whistling -- while the cat that's totally spooked by thunder actually seems to be attracted to the noise made by the tea kettle. She will approach the tea kettle with inquiring "meow(s)?"

Don't ask me to understand them. At least not completely. They sometimes do things for which I have no explanation whatsoever. Which is a part of the fascination with cats.

Mine always shows up with the ring of the microwave, the fridge door opening and his favorite sounds are new boxes and bags being opened to play in.

For one of my cat, you could buy all the puffy cuty round things you could found in a pet shop for them to lie on it, he will always prefer the simple card box you bring bag with your shopping in it, and will proudly stay on his seat, looking at you like saying: "Hey! I'm the King!"

Thanks for sharing those pics. They're perfect! So typically CAT!

At the moment, we have a large brown paper bag (sack actually) lying on the floor in the livingroom. Taking up a lot of space and contributing to a certain "ghetto look" - but.. the cats love it. They chase each other in and out of it, mesmerized by the crinkly sound it makes.

We also have a largeish brown cardboard box in the sofa, now equipped with blankets to soften it, because when it arrived, it was a CatBed™ - without a doubt. Never mind that there was originally something else in it. Now it contains cats:

And hubby's computer chair, if he dares to leave it?
On another note. In case anyone has missed it, there's a great new "series" on YouTube about a guy and his cat:

The Mean Kitty, Episode 1, Episode 2 and of course The Mean Kitty Song Watch them! They're worth it!

TrekkieGrrrl - ahhhh - cute :)
we have a old footrest - years old falling to pieces and looks pretty rank- beacause every cat we've had has scratched it to bits automatically - it's like they don't need to be told. So we keep it - also because itr's less painfull than your leg :)

LOL!!!!!!!!!

i think anyone who ever actually watches their cats eventually turns into a "crazy cat" person LOL.

my midnight-kitty is.... well.. one in a million LOL. i know, EVERYONE says that... but i have proof in the form of a vet bill =D

see, midnight-kitty is a manx (nothin new there) - born of non-manx cats (again, not toooo unusual - mama-kitty's face has a lot of manx in it) - in a litter of 9, the runt...... extremely premature..... and a hermaphrodite. THATS the unusual part LOL

we had nooooo clue.. called her a girl.. set up a vet clinic appointment for spaying.... a week before that, i was petting her belly.. and something INAPPROPRIATE popped out.

so, told the vet - its not a girl, its a boy.

picked the now BOY midnight up - to find out they yanked out GIRL AND BOY parts..

so, even though tecnically, my cat is neither boy nor girl.. its my baby girl. =D

she ruuuuuuuuuuns to join me on the potty (she thinks thats her special petting snuggle spot)... she likes to sleep on the back of my computer chair - trekkiegrrrl - i see you have a towel taped to your chair - i had to do that on the back... well, my old chair i did (its in storage, cus its too big for this place, i have a smaller one now)

boxes, bags, purses, any hideyhole she can find.. these are a few of her favorite things... LOL

anyways, i gotta get going.. i love reading funny cat stories.....

My wife was sorting through some old papers. She put a container on the kitchen table which had a sign that read "shred" taped to it, with papers & envelopes stacked inside. One of our cats is obviously fully capable of reading -- and she took the sign's message literally. So being the helpful creatures that they are, the cat jumped into the container and proceeded to enthusiastically shred the papers inside of it.

I really should have taken a picture or two of that. She might do it again.

LOL conniekat.. i LOVE the house =D

my daughter now has 3 cats (she's 10 - lives with my parents).... Madam Curie (an even more appropriate name when you stop and think about this story LOL).... is one of those felines that just ADORES hiding places (not so much a people kitty)... and my daughter adores making things.. they get along great (lol)... so, my daughter starts with a large box that a computer monitor came in, and with my older brother's help, she transformed it with contact paper & stickers & other assorted things she glued & taped on into a house complete with windows & perches (using other boxes - its an ongoing project).... she calls it her
cathouse.

Those Mean Kitty vid are funny. LOL
My favorite Mean Kitty would be the original "Fat Freddy's Cat" of the famed "Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers"

With all the great stories here it shows how simular all the cats are.

Mine is a Manx. That little tuft sticking out over the bed a bit in the right image is his tail. It does get about 4 times bigger when it fluffs up. But keep your hands away when you see that.

4 cats; all the missus'. 2 older eunuchs (male), 2 claw-bearing, un-spayed girl kittens...mean, mean, mean. One likes to leave 'deposits' anywhere human hands can't (or wouldn't want) to reach..;)

Some will park themselves in front of the monitor, walk over the keyboad (who knew it had a power switch on it?..;) and generally pester me to make them into lapwarmers...sigh..;) they're the source of more than one typo...yeah...that's it..;)

Anyone ever have a kitty that loved to unroll toilet paper from the bathroom spindle dispenser? My Buttermilk would completely unravel a full roll at manic speed, like some kind of crazed industrial machine operator, arms and paws flying. We finally had to store the t.p. in a wicker basket to keep it away from her.

Imagine the fun we have here...

2 cats, 2 rats, 1 hamster, 2 mice. We did have 3 mice but one of them went to the great wheel in the sky last week. Old age, before you ask. The hamster and mice are kept out of the way of the cats. The rats can defend themselves quite well. :)

Just for the record, here's the roll call:

Cats:
Toffee
Apollo (adopted from sis in law)

Rats:
Phil
Grant

Hamster (looking after for a friend):
Merkin

Mice:
Rose
Mia
Esmerelda (deceased)

I've only seen my cat do this twice. So some of you might react like others have to the story -- and be convinced that I was imagining things.......

On two occasions, the same cat that was fascinated by the youtube video has displayed a very, very strange behavior - with me as the sole witness. Under the influence of intense excitement, I've seen her stand up on her hind legs & hop across the floor in the posture of a miniarture kangaroo for a distance of 30 feet or more.

I've heard of a supposed breed of so-called "rabbit cats" that regularly hop around that way. I've even seen video footage from a Tennessee breeder. My cat isn't a "rabbit cat" -- or at least she doesn't have unusually long hind legs like one.

shrug Believe it or not...........I've seen her run across the floor that way. But only a couple of times.

No doubt: she's trying to mess with my head. But I'm just a little too smart for her, you see............so she won't be able to get away with her devious plans. :unsure: :m_thoughtful: :m_confused:

Something To Do At 3:00AM

mogwa - Yep - 2 of ours do that sometimes - or if theres neatly organised piles of paper of the floor being sorted- diving into them, sliding around like a rally car then legging it.

Sam - nice name for a hamster :)

xeno - never seen that - seen walking on rear 2 legs but never that far.
I've seen bottom dragging on long hairs - ae*e on floor pulling themslves forward with only 2 rear legs - vet say they do this to give themselves a "deep clean". Can be a sign of worms as well.

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.

We can't ever move furniture thanks to the cats. When we tried to move the spare mattress, this happened within an hour. As a result, that mattress remained leaning against the wall for a month, since any time we tried to move it, the whimpering and wailing about the missing perch was too heartbreaking to deal with.

Here's my latest addition after 2-1/2 months of living with us. He's 6-1/2 months old now and starting to feel his oats (neutered though). Our 10 year old female cat doesn't want anything to do with his energy, so he plays with our four shelties who keep him more than busy.

Here he is sitting on his favorite spot on the couch. 8-) (Thoth aka Mumbles)

I think it's a stage...the 4th and youngest cat (kitten..Orbit) does that. The oldest never did, but the next 3 did.They also have a bad habit of getting too close to the terlet bowl, and having an impromptu 'swim' (yes, that seat is slippery, ain't it?...;)

I have way too many paperbacks, and they seem to like the idea of 'knock things off high places'...bit, the 'climb to the roof, if we only had the boxes', the bit about bags and boxes in general they love.
