Mi doesn't seem to care that I'm yelling and hopping around trying to dislodge him! And he always does it when I least expect it, which means I can't try to avoid it or tell him no. Crazy baby!

GD, Mia use to do the climbing up my leg thing even when I was wearing shorts. I have yelled so loudly each time that now she just pats my leg with her paws if she wants to jump up.

I sure hope he gets too big soon - both he and Bob climb the kitty castle like that. On second thought, maybe Mi thought I WAS the kitty castle - we're about the same height??? paulajeanne on "Cat calls" http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/5961#post-156558 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 12:50:08 +0000 paulajeanne 156558@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ Molly did that climbing thing until one day to her disgust, she discovered she was too big! Oh, she made the jump, got the claws hooked in, but didn't have the strength to lift her body and climb the rest of the way up with me yelling ow, ow, ow all the way! So take heart, he will grow out of it!

Little guy knows what he wants! Hey, do you have any idea what "stuff" the trainer may have given me yesterday? (on the Yucky Day thread).

And Milo still tries to climb up my side when he wants something - especially food. These days because I'm at the gym, I'm wearing shorts most of the time. It HURTS! He jumps up high on my leg and digs his claws in to haul himself up. He gets yelled at quite loudly when this happens! He's a cute little guy, but I don't think he's quite as bright as his brother, who usually only needs to be told something once. Either that, or he's just stubborn! paulajeanne on "Cat calls" http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/5961#post-156524 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 11:40:48 +0000 paulajeanne 156524@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ When I was trying to get Molly not to claw the sofa, we would play this out. She would go over to the couch, sit down, and stare at it. I would say, "don't even think about it". She would turn her head to me, give a glare and a cranky meow, and stalk off, very offended. Now I just say, Molleeee...in a certain tone, I swear she sighs and walks away! HuddysMama on "Cat calls" http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/5961#post-156522 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 11:36:38 +0000 HuddysMama 156522@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ LOL - my brother used to have a huge grey cat named Slinky (who I renamed Stinky). Once at a family dinner Slinky came over to the table as if to beg (he loved ppl food and would sit up on his hind legs). My brother told him "Don't even think about it, dude". The poor thing was so offended he turned his back to us (but didn't move) and stayed that way until we were done. Leeny on "Cat calls" http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/5961#post-156519 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 11:25:16 +0000 Leeny 156519@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ SM, I bet she would if she could figure out which buttons to push and if her paws would do it correctly. Here's another thing she did recently. Her sister Buttercup is overweight, and recently we've been concerned that Penny wasn't getting her share of the measured amounts of food we give them at regular mealtimes. I set up a separate feeding station in Penny's territory. It's on top of a cabinet, about five feet tall, beside the bedroom window (that's the window through which Penny is supervising the back yard in one of her Catster photos). I put Penny up there to show her where her food would be. The next morning, Penny came up on the bed, meowing to be fed. Half asleep, I said, "It's up there, sweetheart," and pointed to the feeding station. Penny promptly jumped up and began to eat. As I lay there, though, I gradually realized that, to my knowledge, Penny had never seen that particular gesture--finger pointing--used before, and certainly not directed to her; yet, she knew exactly what I meant, after having been exposed to the new feeding spot only once. Then there was the time last week when Penny and I were relaxing on the bed when my husband, wanting feline attention, called to her (she comes when called). She raised her head, looking drowsy. I told her, using spoken words only, that she didn't have to go if she didn't want to; she laid her head back down and resumed resting.

Sometimes, though, if I make a surprise appearance, I wake them up and they look all confused - it's so cute! When I got hoome when searching for my phone this morning, they both woke up and wanted to attention - and they both had that puzzled "what's going on?" look on their little furfaces!

She might try to use the phone herself!

I believe it too! Cats are definitely smart and have learned how to wrap us around their furry little paws! HuddysMama on "Cat calls" http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/5961#post-156437 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 09:03:33 +0000 HuddysMama 156437@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ Karin, at one point I was living with my brother. Sebastian was probably 3 or 4 then. Whenever it was time for me to come home, Sebastian would go to the living room and sit in the window about 5 minutes before I arrived every day. They know.

Aren't we doting parents? :-) cricketsmama on "Cat calls" http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/5961#post-156429 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 08:56:20 +0000 cricketsmama 156429@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ I believe!! Kitties are smart. Cricket used to run to the monitor when Maddie cried when she was little. She looked at me, like, well, go take care of her. Cats know.

I believe it,I usually ask for my kitties to be put on the phone if possible when I'm away so I can chat with them.I've had some answer back. :) You have a smart kitty. SylvesterMiasMomma on "Cat calls" http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/5961#post-156426 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 08:50:08 +0000 SylvesterMiasMomma 156426@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ Yes, I do believe it. How about how cats seem to know when you are coming home even before you arrive proves it to me. I had a roommate who use to say that my cat Whiskers would go sit by the front door 5 minutes before I arrived home. This would mean she would know that I am turning off the freeway to drive over the overpass and up the hill to our carport!

Some cats are just very interested in the phone. Whenever mine rings, Nibs comes running to me and insists on "being in" on the call. She puts her head right up to the phone to listen. I have no idea why she does this, I've never had another cat who did it.

I talk to my babies every day on my way home from work. If John's home, then he puts the phone up for the babies to hear. If he's not home, I leave a messege on the machine! miu on "Cat calls" http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/5961#post-156412 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 08:27:08 +0000 miu 156412@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ I do. Perhaps she thinks you occasionally shrink and sneak into the phone. But she knows it's you, your voice and she learns to come and talk with you.
