I sat down to see what was knew on here and this thread caught my eye. My 2 Persians who rarely leave my side began to read with me.
They had a LOT to say! They started out by trying to type nasty names to call you but I stopped them and explained that wasn't allowed on here. They settled down and agreed to a different method of response.
My cats are very spoiled. I love spoiling them, and they spoil me right back. They are very gentle and loving cats, and yes, they ask for food a little too often (we have open bowl but they prefer freshly poured food to "old" food that has been sitting more than 5 min.). If I have given then new food recently, I just tell them no. In response they say "meow" which I interpret to mean "ok...., I'll ask again later".
My red head is the most spoiled because she decided she has 4 humans, and her favorite thing is to have 8 hands petting her at once. She is extremely friendly, and welcomes new humans after just a sniff.
Even if I'm combing her and accidentally pull to hard, I just get a little squeak out of her, and if I do it again shortly afterward or if she's just not in the mood to be groomed, she will camp down on my hand. JUST barely enough to let me know she is serious. She has never broken anyone's skin.
I have promised my cats to ignore you advice, and in response they have rubbed up against me and rolled over to have their bellies rubbed.
Cats are individuals, as are humans. There is occasionally a cat with a bad attitude but they are the exception, and, from what I have seen, often the results of being declawed.
I explained to Allie and Bitty that you have a right to your opinion, and they turned around and began grooming themselves. I think that means they have the right to disagree.
(yes, they instructed me to put that smily there)
Allie and Bitty's humble servant,
Meowmie
P.S. Allie wanted me to add that if a cat is acting up, the best way to settle them down is to wear them out with a cat dancer or other interactive toy.
