I am Rockwell
“If a dog jumps in your lap, it is because he is fond of you; but if a cat does the same thing, it is because your lap is warmer.”
Alfred North Whitehead (1861 - 1947)
The fact that I just bought a new camera along with the fact that I have various episodes brings you this post today. So we’re aware that I’ve moved. My roommate has a cat. The cat is named Honey. The cat has seperation issues. I like to call it “Attention whore”. This cat can not be escaped. You can run or surrender, eventually it will find you and force you to succumb to it’s whims. See, I don’t understand what the issue is, however, this cat loves when you pet it. Of course cats enjoy that, but most of them tend to let you stroke them and then they move on. This cat does not. This cat presents the areas it would prefer for you to rub. It rolls over so you can get both sides. It grabs your wrist with it’s paws and forcefully puts it’s head under your hand. If you get up and try to walk it away it follows you and when you stop it lays down in front of you like so:
This is all new to me. In my experience most cats want you to leave them alone most of the time. It doesn’t stop there though. Beyond following me and heading me off, when I get in front it bats at my ankles. I swear this cat is trying to make me subservient to it. It doesn’t stop there. I have to shut it out of my room so it won’t take over my bed. If I go to the bathroom and don’t close the door all the way it comes on in. When I do close the door all the way I get this:
It’s almost like a zombie movie. One day I think it may jump on my back and and start chewing on my head. The cat is in control. I don’t know what will happen, but if I should just stop posting consider yourself advised. Additionally, nothing is more creepy than going to the bathroom at 3:00 a.m. and suddenly feeling something furry against your leg. I can’t remember what movie it was that the cat tripped the woman at the top of the stairs…but I walk very slowly, one step at a time.
Be afraid, be very afraid, next thing you know, he’ll be waiting at the front door for yor arrival, with an evil grin.

My cats are like that. This cat likes you a lot and wants you to scratch it behind the ears. It thinks it’s a dog.

I like dogs. Don’t do cats. Did you ever see Pet Semetary? RUN, Amadeo, RUN.

Wow, seems you’ve made quiet the impression on Honey. Methinks she’s got herself a little crush… either that, or she’s a wanton ho’bag.

My dog is the same way…he has a bad case of seperation anxiety. And, because he is able to jump up and open the bathroom door with his paw whenever he wants, I can’t even take a leak in peace. Does he think I will fall in and not come back, I dunno. At times it’s cute, but mostly it sucks.

Ok, I must be sleep deprived, cause this post and its pics had be laughing out loud and on the verge of tears at my job! LOL
My cats arent that desperate for attention (they dont lay down on the floor to block you nshyt, but they will wind themselves around your legs), but yeah, some cats need a lot. My male Ivan also puts his paws under a shut door. He thinks Im his bitch, and he wants to be able to get at me whenever he wants. Its cute when youre alone, but when you got a man over…well, lol.

I think the movie you are refering to might be Cat’s Eye or some other similar flick along the lines of Trilogy of Terror or Burnt Offerings. Karen Black still scares the crap out of me!
I could go on and on about the trio tv flicks and all those animal creep shows like The Swarm, Trantulas, The Birds, etc.

P.S… I’m not fond of cats so I am sitting here thinking how you do it. The thought of a cat wrapping it’s tail around my leg or leaving mounds of hair on my blouse gives me the creeps.
