Why does my cat

[Jnclr89]

run on my face, back and forth, every frickin morning?

1. I suppose your cat has figured out

that this will wake you up and eventually provide food.

6. cats do this even when they have kibble in a bowl

My new cat picked five thirty as the time she thinks I should be up. And that's two hours before I do. Hate it.

12. Methinks it's because pre-dawn and post-dusk times. . .

. . .are when cats are at their hunting prime. (Ever hear of the "evening crazies"?)
That apparently doesn't change even when they are domesticated creatures.
Can't undo millions of years of evolution there.

2. Because you let it. n/t

3. Mine gets on my desk and knocks something over.....

then looks back at me to see if he got my attention. If not he'll try to knock something else over. I grab him and kiss him at this point. The strange thing is that the first thing he always go to is a bottle of vitamins I place on the shutdown button of my laptop for the expressed purpose of the cat not being able to walk over the button and shut down my computer. The little imp has figured out exactly what will cause me the most reaction/anxiety. And zeros in on it.And they say cats are not as good at reading people as dogs.

5. be careful

My tabby Chester (RIP) broke every piece of art pottery I ever had, by deliberately knocking it to the floor. Finally I realized that when he got frisky, I would yell at him "Knock it off!!"

And he did just that.

8. I lost a 'circle of friends' to my cat pushing it off the mantle. Must

have weighed 5 pounds. Kitty sabotage for sure. Now I put all my breakables near or on the floor if I cannot find room in my cabinets to hide them.

14. I wrote a haiku years ago...

Gravity is fun!
Oh, you WANTED that up there?
Buy another one.

[applegrove]

15. I know. And I found that circle of friends candleholder at a garage sale. I wanted one

and had gotten rid of my original. They no longer sold them in stores. So I was thrilled when a friend spotting one at a garage sale.

16. I still have mine...

...if you mean this one. One of the kitties has the sweetest little expression. (I have a couple other Pena sculptures too - love them!)

[applegrove]

17. Both mine were a circle of humans holding hands.

4. Cuz he/she loves u

7. Because you've slept enough and your cat wants attention.

9. Any thread that begins "Why does my cat?" cannot end well.

Some things defy explanation, or the explanation is rooted in some alternate universe.

10. Feel your pain. Mine has learned to defy physics.

My kitteh attaches herself horizontally to my box springs and then precedes to zip around the circumference of the bed to the headboard then turn herself around and zip around the other way. Not only is it incredibly noisy the vibration is intense. I have learned to sleep through the first few laps, but it eventually wakes me up. I have been wondering what to do about this when I decide to start, um, "dating" again. It's quite alarming if you're not use to it.

13. Hahahaha.

That's hilarious.

[Enthusiast]

20. We had a kitty that did the very same thing! Your post is funny.

[Laffy Kat]

21. Well, my kitteh is funny, and weird.

22. I finally ended up getting an Ikea storage bed with 4 big drawers underneath.

It keeps the cats and dustbunnies out, AND you don't need a box spring. And you get loads of storage.

[Laffy Kat]

23. Great idea.

Except I've got one of those beds that go you can control to raise the head, the feet, and it vibrates. Although frankly, after the first week I stopped using all the functions. Anyway, the "box springs" part of the bed is a must. I'm kind of stuck with it.

[LiberalEsto]

24. Fill up the underside of the bed with boxes

or suitcases. Also, consider using bed risers so you can fit larger items underneath. This is what I did prior to getting the storage bed.

[Laffy Kat]

25. There's an idea! Thanks. nt

11. To make u smell gooder

18. SCHEDULING Jnclr89 FOR ASS KICKING

*FOR THINKING A QUESTION THAT STARTS WITH "WHY DOES MY CAT" WILL HAVE A READY ANSWER*

[southerncrone]

19. attention

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

26. Because you leave the laser in the drawer all day rather than...

...running it ragged.

On the other hand facebook claims that leaving cucumbers around will scare the living crap out the cats so maybe leave a few around the bedroom.
