Mine sleep while I work during the day so they can store their energy for me, their favorite toy.

My wife drags home a cat named Oreo. It is a female. We were going to keep it outside but I could just see the dogs getting out and tearing this cat to pieces in front of the kids. So anyway Oreo becomes an inside cat. A couple of months later my beloved wife asked me to look at something. She said I think Oreo is growing male parts. She was correct.

Me and my wife have 2 sons. She wants a little girl so bad but she almost died after the birth of our last son. The Dr said no more. When Oreo became a male. My youngest Curtis (aka Stink) being the die hard Johnny Cash fan starts calling this cat Johnny Cash. He named his grandmother's cat June Carter Cash. Well, the name stuck. My wife said God must not want her to have a little girl because she got a girl kitten and it even turned into a boy. She has given up.

Johnny Cash had the run of the house. He would sleep until aroun 4:00am and decide to get up and wake my wife up. He loves her and hates the rest of us anyway. He climbs up on her belly and sticks his nose to hers and starts to purr. If she does not wake up he starts rubbing on her faceuntil she wakes up. He then jumps down and starts tearing thru the house wide open. He would run wide open and jump and grab the curtains and swing. This was funny until the curtains started to look bad from it. Johnny Cash goes to the vet to get fixed and declawed.

Cash came back a new cat. He stilled flew thru the house but when the jumped and grabbed the curtains he did not stick. He slammed up against the wall and slid down.

A few months later a girl at work sent pictures around of kittens that had been rescued from a lady that had a pile of cats and did not look after them. I thought Cash needed a girl friend. I brought a female kitten home. I was excited and surprised everyone. Everyone loved the new kitten except Cash. He hated this new additon. He hissed and growled for days. After about a week he accepted this cat. The new kitten was named again by my youngest. Pepper Sprout. For those Johnny Cash fans Pepper Sprout came from the song Jackson that Johnny and June sang together.

Well every night pepper and Cash started around midnight. Chasing each other thru the house. Playing hide and seek. Dragging stuff off the tables to chew on. Just making all kinds of noise when everyone is trying to sleep. We finally learned to shut our door every night. They have the entire house to play in all night.

Pepper was taken to the vet last week to get fixed. She came back a different cat. At least Cash thougth so. He started his hissing and growling again. He hated this cat again. 2 days before she was his best friend and they laid and spelt together all day. Now he hates her again. It took 3 days for him to even stay in the same room with her again. Now they are back loving each other again.

I have always hated cats. I love these two. Even when they wake me up in the middle of the night sniffing my nose.

my cat, whom ive had for about 6 years (since a kitten), just started doing this. she also eats anything remotely eatable, its as if shes starving (definitely not eats like a whale, looks like one, and brings home a "present" ALL the time)!! She also recently started jumping up on things and knocking everything down. She craves way more attention than normal. I think shes going through her mid-life crisis. All this is within the last couple months.

We have fat cat and stupid cat.

John Wesley and George Whitfield.
JW is massive and dignified. George is sweet but a bit dumb. George LIKES the water bottle.
Husband couldn't stand them rattling the laundry room door, so he cleared out the laundry room pantry and made it into a kitty condo. They get locked in there each night.

Now I only use earplugs to block out the snoring.

Cats rule the house ...havent you learned that lesson yet? LOL

I have a sign that reads

" The cat will not be granting audience today"

I learned my lesson long ago. Mine is a little weenie, meows incessantly to be fed at 4:00 a.m. until SOMEONE - ANYONE - gets up to do so (he has a food obsession), he will sit next to his food bag and cans and then look up at you as if to say "Hey..if I had opposing thumbs, this sucker would be open already...but...since I dont...please mere human...do so immediately."

We will never win the battle.... Cats will rule forever - sort of like cockaroaches LMAO!
