My feline overlords are displeased with me.
I came home from the grocery store and instead of feeding them first thing..I put the groceries away*gasp*. The meowing was plentiful...so much so that I stopped in the middle and fed my pampered princesses.
I have to face it. They have me wrapped around their fuzzy little paws....:)

1. Awwwwwww
They must be obeyed! Do they jump on the counters and "help" you unload the groceries like Morrissey and Sunny do? Monty is thankfully not a counter jumper.

2. I have stuff placed just so to keep them from jumping on the counters
But that doesn't stop them from trying to help me put it in the fridge! The counter is the one place where I don't want kitty paws. And they FINALLY figured that out. What the hell, the sit on everything else anyway...:rofl:

3. Wow - I can't manage that
I'm constantly walking around with Lysol wipes! I have a water bottle that I spray Sunny with when he's getting into something he shouldn't, but I hate to use it on Morrissey for some reason. Morrissey always jumps on the island when one of us comes home and then demands belly scratches and love - I don't want to stop that because it's soooo cute!

4. Sounds like my princess, Lana
She has her food and water out all week. On Sunday, when I clean the room she has her stuff in and take it away, she is immediately right there, meowing and going into her poor, starved kitty routine.

6. I feed mine before I make my coffee in the morning...
If you knew me, you'd know what a sacrifice that is.

7. You are lucky to serve They Who Must Be Obeyed
I consider myself privileged to be at the beck and call of my fuzzy feline masters. :)

9. They are royalty, of course.
The Egyptians used to worship them, and they have never forgotten that. :rofl:

10. My cat made me get up to let him out when he didn't wanna go
out.

He pulls the bottom of the door with his fingernails and makes these popping sounds and I get up and let him out (the catbox is happily located right outside the door now), and after he came back in (while I stood waiting behind the closed door for him to finish so I could go back to bed) --- he did it again, not 30 seconds after I laid down. I laid there and ignored him for over a minute, and finally figured he was serious and so I got up, climbed down (high bed) and opened the door again.

He ran away from the door and was laying about 20 feet away from me by the sink, washing his paws as if he had been at it awhile and (as if!) he didn't even notice I was up.

I took a couple steps toward him and -- he knew. He bolted right back out the door and this time I closed it and went back to bed for awhile.

Yep, he's got me wrapped around his fuzzy, razor-sharp little finger, too, but I think he's trying to train me to Git Up when he says so and it ain't working--- at least, not today.

But, of course, feeding the cat in the morning comes right AFTER heading for the bathroomm, and right BEFORE doing anything else, whatsoever, such as getting a cup of coffee going . . . .

12. You'll love my felines - if you can get near them
I'm not sure how they'll take having a party at my house - they're not use to strangers. Perhaps I can get Abbott to come out a bit but I wouldn't force the spawn of Satan (Evita) on anyone.

Here's the master of my household:



Erin, the reigning King Tabby. :-)
