Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for February 28, 2012

Blankie straightening request has a specific sound around our house

I often ask “What are you meowing about now?”

Fezziwig just purrs and rubs on you if he wants something.Amy has the same meow for everything but her posture and where she meows are different for everything.The other cats are subtle enough that it’s hard to tell, except for Mozart’s “I’ve lost my favorite toy” cry. If it’s stuck under something, we can ask him where it is and he’ll show us.

This happens at my house too. If the bankie is not just right I hear about it.

I looked up cat idioms and couldn’t find one to match this. Once again Arlo loses me. Or maybe I’m too stupid. Sigh.

Maggie nips me on the leg when she’s hungry. The rest of the zoo just meow loudy and run amok. Even the rabbit will stand up and paw at me. I won’t even get into llama behaviour. Such personalities they all have.

:) Sweetie “talks” all the time and expects me to understand. She greets with me the same phrase. The problem is, I am NOT good with languages. All my cats stand up and beg for food. They learned from Midnight dancing ballet for his dish.

The strip in my newspaper is black and white. On that, I thought the last panel was the litter box.

Dogs do this too ! Our Lhasa Apso does not bark or whine when she needs something specific. She mouths these “words” and lightly taps my arm with her paw !

My daughter finally took “her” two male cats for “The Visit”. I can wait to hear what they have to say.

The cat wants breakfast in bed. Don’t you know a spoiled cat when you see one?

Our one cat Carmie used to wipe the fog off the window in winter so he could see outside. He was such a sweet kitty. I miss him still.
