My cat is no longer scared of my wheelchair
now he won't get out of it. :P

He's curled up in it right now, again, purring. I need to go to work. When I try to get him out of that chair so I can use it he licks my hands and then gives me love bites, but refuses to move.

When he's not in that chair, he's in my computer chair. I live my life in these two chairs. Apparently, so does he. :P

1. I guess you'll have to get another wheelchair, then.

Seriously, glad you have your chair and feline friend. :hug:

10. If I'm ever wealthy
and willing to totally spoil myself wrotten, then maybe I will. :P

If I ever got to that point though, as many uninsured people as there are out there, I hope I'd buy the second one for someone else. :)

2. Your cat knows that. That's why he sits in those two chairs.
:)

11. Yup. You're absolutely right.
If I won't let him be in my lap every moment of every day then this is the next best thing. :P

If my other cat, Millie Dear, ever came out of my room she'd probably do the same thing. But she gets to gloat because she owns my bed. :7

4. He probably wants you to stay home and hang out with him
'Cause cats are just cool like that. :)

13. Oh yes. I'm definitely supposed to be at his beck and call.
He's supposed to get belly rubs and head scratches upon command. How can I possiblly fulfill my obligations if I'm not there? :P

14. I'm always more aware of where his tail is than he is.
I think he forgets that he has one. :)

If I ever accidentally ran over his tail... :cry: You'd hear him screaming several states away and I'd be devastated, worrying that I'd killed him. Whenever he gets hurt he always sounds like you've killed him, and I always believe it. :(

15. Oh My! That would be incredibly mean.
If I deliberately turned on the vaccum monster while he was nearby he might never forgive me.

:rofl:

7. If you sat in the bathtub all day, that would be teh kittehs favorite place
I think cats like to find out what your favorite place is, then usurp it for their own purposes.

17. Right. It's an extension of you (or me) so that is wher they
absolutely have to be. :)

Anyone who says cats are not social animals hasn't raised any.

19. Wow!
I'm very glad they have kitty wheelchairs like that one in the last picture. That is wonderful. :) It's not really a chair, more of a harness, but same basic concept. Repace legs with wheels. Awesome. :)

The others are just incredibly cute. :loveya:

9. I can just see it now
Kitty with eyebrow raised, looking at you saying "What the hello do you want? Get out of here and let me nap."

20. It's more like,
"If you're going to join me, then come here and curl up with me somehow. But if you think you're going someplace you're mistaken Mister." :P

21. That's because it is!
I have one cat that never, ever leaves my bedroom. That is her territory, and she's terrified to leave it. Except when my room is getting vaccumed. Then we'll find her cowering behind the couch in my living room. :(

I feel really sorry about it, and I try to intercept her and hold her whenever the vacuum monster gets turned on.

22. Yes, they really are.
But life would be very different, but not nearly as good without them. :)

:hi:
