Has your cat EVER entered a plea of "Guilty"?

Whenever I would hiss at or scold NoName, she would IMMEDIATELY look at
me and make a little sound that sounded to me like, "I wasn't DOIN' nothin'."
.
.
Kali told me (without even hearing her) that she was quite obviously
saying, "Fuck you!"
.
.
I listened closely after that... and darn if Kali wasn't right.

Anybody EVER had a cat that either looked or acted guilty?

2. Pixie hisses at me if I accuse her of misdeeds.
I take that as a "not guilty" plea.

3. No. Mine will sort of ask for forgiveness, or fear anger, which I have
very little of, but mostly they show price in whatever mischief they do. They expect me to appreciate it.
I guess because they have such fun with it. They expect me to enjoy it like they do.

14. Pride. I meant pride. You never know. I do think they
best know how to be cats.
So many people think they know better. But a cat genetically knows how to be a cat. So the best bet is hide or secure anything breakable or valuable. Then watch the show, as it was meant to be.

4. My cat never feels guilty
If he were human, he would have a mohawk and spraypaint anarchy signs on the walls of my apartment

5. Mine go right for the head bump and tail rub.
"Even though you're angry and being a loud jerk about things, I sill love you."

I have a problem child/cat. I got her from a shelter and she had been there for a long time before I brought her home with me. She has personality problems at times. Sometimes she makes me so mad I yell "LITTLE SHIT"! at her. After about a minute or so, she'll come up to me with a sweet little "I'm sorry" meow and rub against my leg, making me feel guilty as hell. Why do I take the abuse? I happen to love the little shit, so she's quite safe and she's grown old with me; plays me like a fiddle. I think I'm a victim of cat abuse.

10. And non-cat people wonder why we consider them part of the family.
They adapt and work with us. Just some people don't understand that.

11. I think it's because...
Cats consider us equals. They don't do tricks.

8. I can't win, don't even try anymore.
Our girl has me down. If I even try to get on her about something, she looks at me like "Well, just what do you expect me to do under these circumstances?". I'm screwed.

12. No. Having multiple cats, however, at least one
in generally willing to turn informer in exchange for Friskies Party Mix treats (or, as we call it in this house, kitty crack).

16. Monster growls at me when I try and shoo him away from in front of my computer screen.
He really doesn't take too kindly to being bossed around.

17. Nope, not one in all these years
I, however, plead guilty to THEM all the darn time.

I am so unworthy of their highnesses.

20. Pah. It's not even in their DNA.

Projection, however, is. "Well so what if I DID shred the arm of the chair / dig up the potted plant / pee in the corner / barf in your shoe / etc.? It's YOUR fault!"

21. Heck no....
She gets more of the "what's your problem" look on her face.

I left my cup of soda in the kitchen, left for a few minutes, came back and before I even got back into the kitchen I see her head pop up from behind the half wall looking at me--as she is licking her soda drenched whiskers. Didn't so much as think about running away, she just stayed there til I got to the cup and took it away.

I roll over in bed, the dog is Ok with that, she doesn't move or make a peep. The cat, however, holds a grudge and gives a very long lasting resentful meeeooowwww long after I rolled over.

She likes to sit on the couch armrest next to me..which I am ok with..til I want to recline since the pull thingy to make the recline happen is inside the armrest. She will not budge, she will bear her weight down and spread out, meeeooowwww, anything to keep me from opening it just a smidge to slip just a finger into the armrest to get to the recline lever. Once she is in a comfortable position, heaven forbid someone try to reposition her.
