Breaking the cat affection code

Hey, Rock!

Everyday for a month, we would see the cat climbing a tree near our house and walking across its branches. It should be noted that prior to the development of this strange pattern we'd installed a pool beneath this tree so as to make use of its ample shade to keep the sun from scorching our back as we swam. However, as I'd mentioned previously, the cat would traverse the network of limbs. Without fail, the cat would make a misstep and plummet into the pool. Sadly, this pattern ended when the cat drowned following its fall. To this day, I find an aching in my heart over the loss of my dear feline friend.

Let me be the first to say "I'm sorry to hear that Dave...against the machine"

She will sit on his lap and purr and be friendly with him but NO ONE ELSE. Because she can SENSE that he doesn't really want to hold her but is too polite to shove her off.

Yeah, it happens. I had a cat in childhood who was totally standoffish and grumpy. One day there was a family get-together at our house; the cat wandered into a room full of people, picked the biggest cat-hater out of the crowd and got into her lap.

This thread is quite dissappointing due to a lack of cat pictures!

This is my "Tiger" who lives with my parents. She's very affectionate. To me. And she was the same way toward my grandma before she died. With everyone else, Tiger pretends affection, and just as they're starting to enjoy petting her, she quickly turns back her head and bites them. . .hard!

*dries his tears and applaudes that heart wrenching tale of love and loss*

Bravo, Noise Monkey. Bravo.
