Their natural instincts crack me up... I can easily see a lion/tiger in them when a bird flies near my back door screen, this is his highlight of the day... or at my front window in my living room I hear the "thonk" of his tail against the window... if only he could pounce, he would and has at times hitting this body against the window... he wants the bird so bad! The other night he caught this big grasshopper and was so proud of himself... and ate it.

But yet, he is very loving... waits at the glass door almost everyday until I get home, he has incredibly patient. He often will stare me down while I am on the computer... usualy falling asleep just waiting for my attention... I know, it sounds sad, but he gets tons of attention. He is probably the most attention seeking cat I have ever had. He is a fun cat... loves his attention and I pick on his all the time. He tolerates me well... I usually spank or slap him against his behind as he walks by... he play swats at my foot or hand and just keeps going.... or he will sneak attack me (for a cheat shot) when I am least expecting it. This is when I am thankful I am bigger than him and he is not a lion.

Plus he is deaf... so I believe he replies more on visual, so he is a bit more aware than most cats... and not as lazy seeming. He has a great character. Is very clean and sweeps up his crumbs before and after eating. I am a bit obsessive to cleanliness... so I use to always sweep up around his eating area and ummmm litter box since he was a kitten. He now mimics what I do with his paws, it is cute to see. He does well with baths too, as he gets them when his coats becomes dirty looking. I love to be outside on the back patio and does not attempt to get out, thank goodness. I don't know how well he could survive being deaf in this crazy city. Most likely would get ran over by a car on the main traffic street area.

The only thing that I wish could be different is his hair and how busy I am always cleaning. I can't stand cat hair. But thank goodness he lets me vacuum him...

love them all, does prince remind u of Prince in some way?

KingBAD said:

No doubt in my mind.

But I forgot to mention the one best thing about having a cat instead of a dog...

I can leave for an entire weekend trip and he is ok. Just plenty of food and nice clean litter box. But my sister usually stops by and gives him some can food. So he is not really left alone, because he is spoiled rotten.

R, I hope you having a wonderful day.

I am so allergic to cats that looking at this thread is making my face, eyes, ears itch. I'm beginning to sneeze.

Pretty soon I'll scratching my face like a crackhead.

I love all my 3 cats. I can watch them for hours to see how they act.

To become good friends with your cat you should learn the language of a cat.
a cat can make about 16 different sounds and use a non-verbal language as well.

Learn how cats greet each other or how they tell to other cats that they are friends. I imitate that behaviour and don't go into anthropomorphism. Cats will not understand that.

f.i. if i want Aagje a female mother cat wants to come home i make a sound like a kitten would make when she is in danger and calls for her mommy. Aagje will come running as fast as she can and telling at the same time she's on her way making a special sound to comfort her kittens. It works everytime.

Aww, thanks, I appreciate the compliment. God Bless you too.

most definitely!

monkeyrose said:

Nah, Prince is still a cat. Believe it or not, he was named that when I adopted him as a stray about 5 years ago. I think the shelter named him that because of his sweet disposition. He is a real sweetheart!

When a cat looks at you, he/she's more like, '.... and what the hell do you want?!'

Cats are cool, they look away and close their eyes when they are happy!
