What Does My Cat Want?

[JuniperEccles]

My cat, Sid, unnerves me every evening by sitting and staring at me. He's been fed, he's been out and he's had his nappy changed - what more does he want? I just wish he could tell me. Any ideas?

[ToraToraTora]

Maybe it's like that episode of tales of the unexpected where the cat is a reincarnation of Listz!

[MargoTester]

Could I ask why he has a nappy? Perhaps try him with a litter tray

[Patsy33]

He's planning your murder....

[JuniperEccles]

Just joking, Margo!!

[MargoTester]

Oops :-))))

[smurfchops]

Maybe he wants a cuddle?

[pastafreak]

Do you play with him? Does he have toys or things to stimulate play? Do you give him cuddles?
My cat isn't terribly clingy, but he'll sit and stare when he wants to play...that alternates with rubbing against my leg.
10 minutes of play and he's back upstairs.

Another cat - would you like to be the only human in a house of aliens?

Cats don't understand personal space. Once you let them into your life, you become their servant and your life is not your own any more.

a bum scratch

[JuniperEccles]

He gets plenty of cuddles so maybe I'll try the "more playing" with him and see where that gets us!

[smurfchops]

Get a little toy on a piece of string or a ball of wool, he would love playing with that. Good cat toys at PetsRUs. Real feathers if I dare say that.

I had something similar to this for my two and they loved it.

He wants a piece of cheese.

[dustypuss]

A pice of cheese!. Its a cat Hopkirk not a mouse.

[Hopkirk]

You haven't met my cat then

[Hopkirk]

Despite the Tom and Jerry cartoons, apparently mice don't go for cheese.
Apparently you are far better off baiting your mousetrap with a dollop of peanut butter.
