The Dogmother Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 My wo aren't quite that bad - Georgie is a rescue cat and not really cat-like at all. Biscuit however, is always under my feet and tryign to get involved; if I am cooking with raw fish or meat then he climbs up my legs wanting to get to it. Ruby the lurcher can be a liability too and has that lurcher propensity for thieving anything left within reach! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Mine loves sewing... one day she will have her paws sewn together.. Worst experience though was with a previous cat ( Sam, died aged 17) when he sat in the middle of the expensive satin material for my sister's bridesmaid dress as I was cutting it out - and was sick!! Luckily, there was enough to cut another piece! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyknickers Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 On my wedding day in the garden having photos taken - my dress pulled out to get a nice photo of the train and my cat walks right over it! Weird thing was not a single paw print on it - I have the photo of it I will put on here. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunty e Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Mine love 'helping' me cut out fabric. They also enjoy helping me choose the fabric, sew the fabric and iron it. They're especially good at making sure the fabric doesn't run away, by sitting on it. This is generally fine, except when it has been raining outside and they have soggy paws. Or Cleo, who is a teensy bit incontinent. blerugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Palmer Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Fortunately none of my cats have ever been in to cooking, although Nelly (16), my current cat does like sewing, computing and paperwork. We used to have a cat called Kit, who would open fridges and freezers, burning out the motors on a couple, we tried all ways to stop him and eventually discovered child locks, which were ideal, so long as you remembered to do them up again! He would open them at night and pull anything that tempted him out, whether cheese, cream or meat and take a few bites out of them. He'd eat his way through the plastic bags and polysyrene trays too. One Christmas he got in the fridge, completely squashing the yule log my aunty had made and chewed a leg off the turkey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Sounds like Dave. When he was a kitten he would always climb up my jeans and insist on being held whilst I was cooking. He's part siamese and used to love climbing onto my shoulder as well. I would put him on the floor but he would just climb straight back up. Same if I was working on the lap top, he would sit in front of the screen. I quite miss those days now, he's usually found asleep upstairs all day.

Olly Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 How do they know? When I spread a newspaper out, Welly manages to sit on the exact part that I'm reading. If I'm trying to make something, he sits on the instruction sheet. And don't get me started on pawprints ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Chick Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 My cat seems uninterested with cooking, however, he loves to sit on my laptop and has even sent the odd email in his time!! Usually gibberish which is followed by my sending another email to the recipient stating I was having laptop problems!!! Very embarrassing when its a work email! The most interesting thing he's just started doing is copying the chickens dustbathing!!! I had to turf him out of a plant pot earlier! He's 7 years old and has never done it before the girls arrived! Is this where the term copy cat comes from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 OMG they are relentless aren't they. Mine sit on you when u read in bed - ie in front of book and your eyes. They also have a bad habit of using prized plants as la toilette My OH is of Greek Cypriot origin and has a grape vine in a hughe pot in the garden. he dotes love and attention on this plant - the grapes are tart and bitter and frankly disgusting. Well last summer OH and YS were in garden playing football when I spotted Ginger tom on the pot positoning his derriere to do a No 2 YS and I were cracking up but OH kept telling the poor lad to concentrate and when he eventually turned round and saw said mog he legged it over to his pride and joy removed GT gently with his boot.

Helly Welly Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Henry always sits on any papers you are reading on the floor or table and then rolls over and does his 'aren't i cute' pose. Today i was taking off the duvet cover and he climbed inside it and held onto the duvet with all his might. There was me, wrestling my cat for the duvet! He then sat inside the empty duvet cover, completely hidden, and whined cos i'd stopped playing. AT 14 he really should know better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
