1. Hee hee

Sweetness

:hi:

[TZ]

2. Where is bounce off the sleeping human at 5am?

Thats a favorite in my household

[woo me with science]

3. One of mine always went directly to

paw in bowl.

[Arkansas Granny]

5. I have one of those. She seems to think that since she would gladly share

her food with me, that I must surely feel the same way. If I don't offer to share from the start, she tries to help herself.

[MorningGlow]

4. Need one more

The death glare. The way our old house is laid out, it's a straight shot from the kitchen at the back of the house, through the dining room, to the living room. Nothing like getting the death glare from the other end of the house--yet it makes it all the way to the living room and makes the hoomins uncomfortable, to say the least. And they just...SIT there looking all creepy-like.
:rofl:

6. Oh, FOOD. I thought that was how it worked with sex.

[MiddleFingerMom]

7. For that, I go straight to Step #5 - Cry Like a Baby.

Pity sex. Don't knock it 'til you've cried it.

8. Oh, AWESOME. I love any and very pic with a tuxedo kitteh anyway.

So this is pure WIN.

[Fire Walk With Me]

9. 6. Bite ankle. Human drops food. Eat like king.

[Demoiselle]

10. Yes. I've known many cats who bite ankles at dinner time.

Makes for interesting defensive footwork in front of the kitchen sink. Defensive footwork that never actually works, of course.
