Anyone else have a cat that follows them around but won't let anyone

[kedrys]

pet him?

I'm about to go out of my mind. Plato is Mr Aloof, except when he wants attention, which involves stabbing me in the leg when I'm sitting on the couch, and sitting on my mouse hand WHILE IT'S ON THE MOUSE. I can barely type this.

Cats. Aaaargh.

1. Yeah, I know, they are wonderful. I have to get mine back on my

lap here. I pushed him off ten times as I was doing something, so now he gave up.

2. Plato has huge hands and takes up a lot of space

He just snagged my mouse and keeled over on his side next to the keyboard - at 18 pounds, that's a lotta cat. He wants to hold hands, but he tries to bite me if I scratch him. And he purrs the whole time.

:shrug:

3. Yep. Killer loves to follow, study what we do, try to help

but heaven help anyone who picks the little psycho up.

4. My kitty used the keyboard while I wasn't around...

I was always afraid that she'd send an e-mail, or, even worse, post on DU... :D

10. Or Much, Much Worse, Free Republic

What would you do if your cat was a Freeper?

[Rhiannon12866]

14. Well, I wasn't logged in to Free Republic, LOL.

Though anything that she wrote (and she did write indecipherable messages) would make more sense than what I've seen posted there... ;)

12. .

And yes, I believe thats DU on the screen...:rofl:

15. You've got it! ROFL!!!

That is priceless! :rofl:

Though my cat was a little more like this: :D

5. Sorry about that. My Frankie is a big, chubby ball of love and will let absolutely

anyone pet him. In fact, he pretty much demands that everyone pet him constantly, even resorting to physically grabbing your hand with this paws and placing it on top of his head.

7. I have 4 other cats who are pretty scratchie-intensive

:rofl: It's just this one who's psycho about being picked up or petted. Plato's brother Socrates will snag me if I stop scratching him too soon. :D

8. I have one of those. He demands constant petting.

I probably should hire someone to pet him while I'm at work.

9. Since I started working from home a year ago, he's been in heaven. He loves to

sit inside my sweatshirt on cold days with just his head popping out of the neckhole. This is while I'm also wearing it of course.

6. My cat used to be like that

he was 2 when I got him and apparently he had been trained not to get on people. He would purr and lick me when I pet him and then turn around and bite me.

It took me three years and many "love bites" but I finally turned him into a lap cat.

11. Stabbing in leg

My Achoo! does that from time to time and it Hurtz Donut! Plato and Achoo! seem to be made from the same mold.

13. I finally had to banish mine from my office

I ended up spending more time replacing things and cleaning up than working.
