Thinks that you cannot do to your pet without getting a warning bite.

[applegrove]

I can't rub Monster's belly, push or politely ask to to get off my desk, rub his chin when he is on the bed or rub his behind. All of these usually result in a warning nip if not an all out bite where his nose is all crinckled up he is biting down so hard (he is missing one fang so he cannot draw blood when he bites thank god).

Anyone else have a little imp for a pet?

1. They are all like that. The thing where they lay on their back, with

the stomach exposed, that is a dare; that is to say, you touch my stomach, try to touch it; see what happens if you do.
They really don't want you to scratch their belly, they are just trying to lure you into a fight. A play fight.
They resent the fact that you are bigger and more powerful.
They want to challenge that.
The little animals play/fight all the time.

2. Yup. While Moster is on my bed it is a playfight. When he is on my desk it is all business.

3. Locking

No sex threads.


Wait. What?

4. Comb the snarls out of her furry little armpits.

I always get snapped at for that.

6. try to put him in a box to take him to the vet for yearly checkup

I got shredded :(

7. Move her from the la-z-boy

Cat was majorly pissed at me for this today. Got a scratch, growl, and a nip.

8. I can't laugh too much or cry too hard

I'm not exaggerating. My demon furball attacks me for expressing extreme emotions.

She's a fucking demon from hell.

9. Play with his tail.

Play with his feet. Sometimes when I scritch his rump. He'll turn into claws and fangs and get his ears boxed for his trouble.

10. I can't brush Max

I can't seem to brush or deshed Max without his attacking the brush, chomping on my hand, taking a swipe at me, or any of the aforementioned. I wonder if he has an undiagnosed skin condition.

11. I can't move a comfy Goldmine....

Trying to look for my cell phone on the couch. I got a warning hiss yesterday.

12. My gigantic orange and white cat Roy Lee is touchy

I tell anyone who wants to pet him to stick to the orange stripey parts thereby missing chest, belly and legs. It works pretty well. Nice to have the danger and safe zones color coded

13. I only get love bites, my cats don't have a mean bone in their body

Oh, I''ll get plenty of swats and scratches, but really, if they get mad enough they just run away. Even the vet says they are nice......

14. Try to take his pig's ear away

Why anyone would want to is beyond me. Those things are disgusting!

The thing that really freaks me out about pig's ears is that they come in bags of 25. It must suck to be that 13th pig!

20. We had a chinese friend cook dinner for us last year. He made all sorts of traditional dishes. Pig

ears were one of them. Delish.

15. For Evita - touch her

nasty but absolutely stunningly beautiful cat who I still love anyways.

16. Roll over in bed

to do so would cause "Princess" Charlie* (a tuxedo kitten with a possible criminal background, seeing as how I found her at the federal courthouse close to where they take the inmates) to have to move from her favorite place---my shoulder.

She also doesn't like it if I don't let her sleep on one arm while I'm on the computer. She's much too good to sleep on the top of the desk like the rest of my horde.

:eyes:

*I got her so young, I couldn't tell if she was a boy or girl, then I thought she was a boy until I looked it up online & discovered she's a girl. By that time, she was answering to Charlie, soooo.....

17. Don't blow in Daisy's face!!!

I don't know if an English Bulldog has ever lunged at your face, but it becomes a different creature for a moment. A creature more mouth than dog.

[ceile]

18. Hold her like a baby.

Makes the little one so mad. She gets all whiny and screechy and her paws get all big because she has her claws out. Very cute.
The other female hates being petted unless you're laying down and she can sit on you. Otherwise she'll spit and snap at you. I tell pet sitters to not even bother with her- just poke your head in the room and make sure she's still breathing, but otherwise leave her alone.
My male you can do whatever to- we even bathe him. Not so much as an attempt at a nip or scratch.

[Curmudgeoness]

19. Funny you should ask today. I held my cat down last night

and was kissing his belly. That is something that I will not do again. My forehead is not looking good today! I figured I would be safe since he had been declawed. Hmph.
