Quote: Cat love sitting or lying on top of what you are examining closely, or are reading. It is their way of getting themselves noticed. Most of us silly humans just tolerate this sort of feline behaviour. That happens all the time when we're putting together a puzzle. We usually retaliate by pulling out the vacuum cleaner. Kitties go away pretty quickly.

I have bled more from cat scratches than I ever did when I was just being a kid.

My 15 year old tabby is an experienced Numismatist. He lays on the key board as I try to list on ebay. As if to say .....hey Pal me , not that round thing you are trying to sell.

Most of us silly humans just tolerate this sort of feline behaviour. This is absolutely true, anytime I'm at my desk or the table doing something I seem to gain one or two "helpers". I'm sorry cats, but you can't help with watchmaking without opposable thumbs. I've had to get on my hands and knees looking for tiny screws more than once.

Quote: So, either you have very feisty cats, or you had a very sheltered childhood. Apparently, the former.  Trust me, the forensic anthropologist who studies my remains will find no lack of childhood injury. Of course, many of my feline related wounds were my own fault.  Ever rub a cat's belly? The trick is knowing when to stop.

My wife loves cats. I wish they would ignore me instead of attempting to trip and kill me in the middle of the night. I've never cursed anything more or spent more money on any animal than I have cats.

I was just getting my Susan B Antony and Sacagawea dollars out of my album yesterday so that I could photograph them for the Forum... I left the coin album on my bed. When I returned, I discovered Felix guarding it!

The best way to catch the interest of your cat is to ignore it.  Cat psychology: use superior superiority.
