...There's a reason I don't usually take phone calls in my house.

The Agent called to discuss my upcoming trip to New York, during which we're going to be doing several dinner-type things, some meeting-type things, and a lot of hanging out. During our forty-minute or so discussion, she was treated to...

"Ow! Ow ow OW! Goddammit, Alice, get your claws out of my fucking leg!"
"No. No, you can't have that. No, that isn't yours. No."
"Get off of there! Jesus, cat, I swear, I will skin you."
"I can get new cats, you know. Better cats. Smaller cats. Cats that don't
do that."
"Alice, give back my bra."
"I'm serious, Alice. Give me back my damn bra."
"THAT'S MY FUCKING BRA, CAT!"
"Okay, I give up. Just do whatever the fuck you want."

...all while we were having a serious business discussion. I swear, the fact that she hasn't drowned me and put me out of her misery is something of a miracle.



QWP, under the onslaught of a gorgeous Maine Coon.

Maine Coons! I have a Maine Coon, and she does the exact same thing to me while I'm on the phone. She likes to sit and yowl into the mouthpiece, just in case I'm not paying enough attention to her.

Now I am going to show you a picture of her trying to squeeze into a basket that is way too small for her, because I love to show off my kitty.


*giggles* I love cats. Of all sizes. My three are regular-sized (well, one of them is quite little) no-particular-breed furballs, but they're all adorable. Maine Coons do seem to come out and ask for more attention than most, though :D

You have a pretty kitty. :D

Reminds me of my mother's cat, Peppy, who is a mutt*, but has the size of a Maine Coon. He too seems to have no concept of what he can actually fit in.

* Or whatever you call a shelter cat that doesn't have much of any recognizable traits. Geno, Mom's other cat, is likewise, though you can tell he's got recent Siamese ancestry.

Moggie.

Or domestic mixed breed. :)

I have had the pleasure been owned by a domestic short hair mixed breed named Rumpleteazer for the last 10 1/2 years..she was dumped at a vet's office with her mom and a sibling. Nobody knew where she came from..a vet tech found her, the mom and the other kitten in a box outside the office one morning when she went to go open up.

Well, I'd definitely want to show off that kitty too if it was mine :)

This post needs moar cats.


Re: This post needs moar cats.

I think only dogs could hear the high pitched "awwwwwwww" that picture just caused me to make.

What is it with cats and stealing bras? Mine takes them out of my drawer and drops them under the dining room table.

Mine likes to steal my knickers out of the washing basket x_X;

Dogs do it too. My puppy (okay, so he was twelve when he died, he was still my puppy) used to steal them out of laundry baskets and carry them around the house. We always said he was a theatrical dog.

mine tries to steal my bra by pulling it out from under the bathroom door. It's gotten when I take a shower, I make sure all my clothes are away from the door or he'll pull whatever he can get his paws on :/

Oh, it's a Maine Coon. That explains much.

My sister has one cat that insists on washing my sister's socks in his water bowl. Unfortunately for my sister, he prefers the wool socks she hand-knits. Which are fit only for small toddlers and large dolls after an overnight dunk in cat-food-tainted water...

Time to start pre-shrinking the yarn (though preferably not in the water bowl)?

That's really not practical for knitting.

Superwash yarn, now that's a good idea if the cat likes to do the washing -- it's washable and relatively shrink-proof.

Ack..that's not good. D: *snorgles her hand-knit socks*

That reminds me of the time one of the cats dropped their catnip mouse in the water bowl.

Ooh, did you call the results "drunk" or "stoned"?

Neither- they ignored the resulting catnip tea, as far as I could tell. :(

Maybe they're looking for milk? /stereotyping

Mine haven't tried stealing bras, but we had to start closing the bathroom door when no one was in there so the littlest wouldn't steal... other female things out of the trash.

(Deleted comment)
God do I ever know THAT feeling.

(One of my cats likes to watch while the boyfriend and I are having snuggle time. The other one? Wants to participate. She will attempt to worm in between us and demand pettins.)

*giggling* Oh hon. I know. You should post more pics of them, y'know. *squishes* Also, feel better. Another of my friends' cats pounced on his scrotum while he was having sex once. With needle-sharp kitten claws!

I am actually planning on doing a pic post tomorrow! And thank you. ♥ You are wonderful.

*sneeerk* oh my. Both of my cats have kicked the boyfriend in the manly jewels by using him as a launching point. In retrospect it's funny to both of us. At the time he was Not Amused.

Our dog has a bad habit of setting on his hindquarters and shoving both paws at you playfully. With my sisters, that reaches to her waist. I'm taller, so I get punched in the crotch by our dog on a regular basis.

Ouch. Talk about coitus interruptus...

That is a fantastic icon.

("C'mon, Kain... anytime you wanna do your death-from-the-sky thing... hello? ... what the hell are you doing up there, anyway?")

Oh, you mean like this? :D

Oh hey! They're using open-id for commenting on LJ now?

Kewl!

For a moment, I thought I'd somehow sent my brainwaves into Metaquotes format. I also have an Alice who, while not a Maine Coon, would very much like to be and tries to eat her way to the appropriate size.

(giggling)That's pretty much a scene from my life you've got there. And I adore the hell out of Maine Coons. They're gorgeous, cuddly cats.

Also, that's a lovely, lovely icon of Amanda you have there.

Thank you very much! I only made it yesterday, and it's my first Sanctuary fandom icon. I'm very happy with it, so I'm glad to see someone else likes it too. :D She's pretty with blonde hair, but ye gods, dark hair makes her nothing short of stunning. *grin*

Now I know why my grandmother insisted cats were EVIL! One of our cats always opens a drawer in my mother's dresser so she can sleep in the drawer ONE over. Never steals any bras, but she likes tossing my mother's socks onto the floor.

With that kind of owner, I find myself wondering how much help the OP had typing up the entry. I live with 5 cats, and the two youngest are *particularly* keen to help me type, usually by stepping on the Capslock so that asI"maTYPE <-- That happens.

haha I was playing a game online last night and some lady with a headset was screaming at her cat the whole game. It was amazing. especially when she set the head set down. There was a pause and then a curious "MIAOW?!"
