Oh wow!  A disdainful cat paid attention to you!  It happens.   Could be back to usual tomorrow though.  

Like Business Cat: it all about me!

Ok so I still can't imbed. However, this is what happens when a cat decides to claim you. Beware!

AWESOME!!

i totally get that, too... we used to have cats, and whenever they would deign to touch me it made my heart go pitter patter!!

Cat a tonics ... that furr Ba'aL feeling ... well rounded?

It could pass you know ... for what's in the kitty is like love ... fickle, fey ... even thought  like bewitching as a Shadow phenomena ... just breezes thro ... like desirous word that few pick up on ...

Mortals really don't like mysteries, then cats well, they live longer, undergo some sort of redemption and keep coming back ... although the humanity of the situation may never have been truly there ...

Perhap because man doesn't know enough yet ... and doesn't wish to? In Augustine's tiem you could be in the stew pot over such comments ... I suspect in some judgements I'm very close to those thin spots in the more powerful fabrics ... hoers 'air coats ... a prickley situation so say little ... pore cupine critters? That fairy tale gnawing again ... in the tree ... making rheum for light ... bare logic you can see thro' ... that's sole' mon ...

Happy Cat Day! Or something like that. I love cats but, alas, Mrs. M. does not and LIttle M may be allergic. So I'll just have to envy you.

And EasternOrthodox almost made me lose my tea with that poster. ROTFLMAO!

Giving thanks for the blessing bestowed by the cat!

How are you and the cat getting along now, Happy Genius?

Were you wearing black? That is when the non-cuddling cats want to cuddle.

Our two are atypical cats, they like being carried over your shoulder and love everyone.

Glad you asked...he's repeated that wonderousness!

He likes me! There's somethn magical about a car's purr,

A contentment elixer!

SG:

First I've heard about the black.cuddle reationship, Drat. I own nothing black.

(And I HAVE read a dictionary(I confess, I skipped a lot ,,, not much of a plot but  I did  learn a lot)

Cheers!

Of course there is the opposite pole of the black.cuddle relationship. If the cat has dark hair s/he will want to cuddle when you are wearing like coloured clothing. It's a rule. :)

A few years ago my husband and I decided to adopt a young cat. My parents and brother and sister-in-law were visiting at the time we took this animal in. We were keeping the cat in the downstairs bathroom near litter box until it got used to us. We were chatting during the evening when my husband suggested we let said cat out since it had been cooped up for awhile. Now, my husband absolutely hated cats and was only tolerating this one until it could be deposited in the barn. I opened the bathroom door, cat came out, wandered around the room sizing up everyone, then jumped into my husband's lap, curled up and went to sleep. The rest of us were the cat-lovers and it avoided us...go figure.
Dogs have masters....cats have servants.

The reason that the cat goes for the one person who hates cats? Because they tend to avoid eye contact, which cats prefer, a direct stare being a hostile act from a cat POV.

I have a cat phobia.

Settle down, possums, and I'll tell you a sad, true story............

When I was about six years old, a stray cat found it's way to our home. It was cute and soft, and I loved it.

One day I came home from school and Mum told me that the cat had some little kittens - and she was under the house.

I crawled under the house and watched transfixed as these tiny balls of fur clung to the mother cat. Every now and then one kitten would stray - and the mother would gently pick them up with her mouth and return them to her side.

It was my first experience of seeing newborns -and it fascinated me.

Dad explained to me that the kittens were born blind -and that's why the mother cat kept them close..

One day I came home from school, crawled under the house, and there was no cat and no kittens.

I was heartbroken.

Soon the mother cat returned - but without her kittens.

"What's happened to your babies?" I'd ask her........

Soon after that my little sister and I were playing "dress-ups". Mum had given us this big box with all her  discarded clothes. We love nothing better than to prance around in high heels -wearing hats and necklaces..........

I came across a mangled kitten.

I screamed so loud that the neighbour next door came over. He found all the kittens........

He tried to console me.

He explained that the mother cat may not have had  enough milk to feed them - so she had killed them as a mercy killing.

"But, how can a mother kill it's own children?" I asked.

"She didn't want to. It's the law of nature."

At that time my parents were arguing a lot about money.

I told my poor little sister that maybe we should go and live with Nana - because Mum might kill us.

"No, I don't believe you - Mum loves us" said my sister.

"She doesn't want to, but she may have too, because we don't have enough money. It's called "The Law of Nature".

I hardly ate a thing - till I got really hungry..............

(Cats. They're selfish buggers. You can have 'em.)

LOL, Pilgrims Progress - at your childhood reasoning re: The Law of Nature (which I'm sure to you was not very funny at the time).  I have never heard of a momma cat killing her own little ones . . . I guess we always had male cats (so they didn't have kittens) and was not around a lot of momma cats.

Gecko, I had a cat that on two occasions crawled up into the lap of cat-haters.  I also had two friends who were terrified of cats, and the cats would go right to them if they came into the room (I then had to put the cat in a spare room until these guests would leave).

My tabby sits beside me as a type.   Good thing hw is not an evil Basement Cat  (=Satan)

There is fortunately a CEILING CAT who is God, who looks over the world from a hole in the ceiling.   Some people, atheist types,  think this ridiculous.   You decide.

on our farm, its the male cats who kill the kittens... i guess they see them as competition for food or something.  the mother cats have to hide their litters until they can protect themselves, otherwise they don't make it.  its just one of those 'circle of life' things that makes my kids bawl their eyes out.

I share a recent gift from RevMatt...

Dog spelled backwards is god.

Cat is just tac.

But I suppose that even cats have the Buddha nature.

I heard once that a dog thinks "Wow, these people have taken me into their home.  They love me, they care for me, they look after my every need.  They must gods!"

A cat thinks  "Wow, these people have taken me into their home.  They love me, they care for me, they look after my every need.  I must god!"

The eternal fight between cat people and dog people goes on....(most people who like at least one of these do prefer one to the other).  

LOL, LBMuskoka, that is hilarious! 

Without basement cats ... what woudl support the tree of logic?

Cat litter-ally ... must be connected ...

Very funny video LBMuskoka...

Sounds like life sent you a bonus card today...congratulations Happy Genius!  I had a similar breakthrough recently with my step daughter Celeste's cat.  I had resigned myself to a permanent snubbing when up onto my lap she came one night.  Good for us says I!
