12 Reasons Your Cat Thinks That YOU'RE WEIRD!

I just finished going through the latest edition of a magazine. I was laughing so hard at one of the features they had for the month and wanted to share this with you along with pictures. In order not to violate any copyright laws, the wording will be changed to protect the innocent. (Me!) Enjoy.

1. You don't hang from anything!

Don't you humans know that curtains are fun to hang from? Or anything else for that matter!

2. You don't race around the house at odd hours.

The fun is finding out where you finally end up before you lie down to rest! It's always a surprise.

3. You don't sleep all day long.

There's no sense in getting up if you don't feel like it! We need our 15-16 hours of sleep. Humans spend too much time and energy in worrying about everyday things. Just relax and be cool.

4. You don't hack up hairballs or anything else.

Come on, what's wrong with that. No big deal. If you have to get rid of something, you just do it. Which brings me to my next point. When you barf, you always have to do it in that big white bowl. Geez! You don't barf on anything like chenille, silk, cashmere, or a sweater left on the floor. In fact, you don't barf on ANYTHING good!

5. Some of you don't raise chickens.

Most of you don't even pluck your own chickens or traffic in chickens in any way. Hummm, chicken sounds pretty good right now!

6. You don't have cardboard box furniture.

7. You don't stare at anything.

Don't you know that you have to keep staring because you might miss something!

8. You don't play with packages that come in the mail.

You don't stand or sit on them. You don't even squat in them. You don't do anything except open them. What kind of weirdness is that?

9. You don't use the couch as a play toy.

Don't you know that's what couches are for? As a side note, they're great for clawing and sharpening your nails!

10. You don't leave food on pillows or inside of shoes.

11. You don't understand the complexities of inside/outside.

12.  You don't bite ankles.

But, zombie cats do bite ankles to get to the brains. You don't bite your friend's ankles or even your enemy's ankles. Is that any way to play?

The magazine gave 48 reasons in all; I combined some of them. Didn't have pictures for everything, so I chose the cutest ones I could find. Hope you enjoyed it!

Cat Behaviors With NO Explanation

Previously, I shared 15 cat behaviors complete with explanations. (I admit that some of these were pretty creative!)  Today, we're talking about cat behaviors that seem perfectly logical to cats. (Remember, I said cats.) I think it's part of the rule that they need to find the space to sit or lay that's the most inconvenient for you. Anyway, let me know what you think.

If It Fits, I Sits Rule

Being In The Way Rule

My cat, Sandy, LOVED the file cabinets. Anytime I would be working at the desk, she would be in a file cabinet drawer or a drawer in the desk. She was my official "catretary".

It's Warm Rule

The Box Rule

"Just Because" Rule

Does your cat exhibit these behaviors? If they do, don't worry! You'll never figure it out anyway. Share your stories with us, please.

Jake, the Space Cat

 Time for another original story!

Jake was born on the Starship Enterprise millions of miles away from Earth.  When he was old enough to be away from his mother, he could roam all over the ship.  The crew members treated him very well and enjoyed having him around.  Of course, if they were under attack, Jake would hide until everything quieted down.  This didn't happen very often, but when it did, there was a lot of noise and confusion.  Jake always thought everything would turn out okay, so he was never too scared.  He enjoyed looking out of the windows and seeing the blackness of space and the twinkle of the stars.

One day Jake heard the crew members talking about "going home".  What did that mean?  The ship WAS home, for goodness sake.  He learned that they were going to a place called Earth so the crew members could rest and take what they called a "vacation".  They were very excited which made Jake excited too.  A new place to explore!  He could hardly wait.

Finally, the big day came.  Everybody was leaving the ship and Jake had to leave too.  One of the crew members carried him off the ship and into the Starfleet Command Center.  Jake didn't know what to think!  He had never seen grass, trees, clouds, birds, and all of the other things on Earth.  He felt like his eyes were going to pop out of his head because there was so much to see!  As the days went on, Jake was able to explore everything around the Command Center to his heart's content.  When it was time to leave Earth on another mission, these were Jake's thoughts.

Asked permission to share this blog with you because it is so cute! I received it from a fellow cat-lover in England by the name of  Marc-André.   

Be so kind as to check out Marc's site. I'm sure he would love your comments as well.
